This is also a big issue for me. When I felt embarrassed because of something I did, I would tall myself, “You’re so stupid!” Which launched me into a shame spiral.

What has helped me break out of the spiral is to notice when I tell myself I am stupid and actively respond, “No I am not”

He lost the case in that particular court but he won in the broader court of public opinion. The real loser was Wlliams Jenning Bryan.

Clarence Darrow, known for his defense in the Scopes “Monkey” trial, and more recently, Alan Dershowitz and Johnny Cochran.

Incidentally, the transcript from the Scopes trial is awesome. There is a book about the trial called “Trial of the Century” and it quotes from the transcripts heavily, a great read.

When I close all my tabs, i ask the question, was this hard to find? If for example I am looking for information on Tolstoy and the article I have open in my tab is the top hit when you search Tolstoy I will not bother bookmarking.

When my kids were younger I monitored their usage and restricted their access. As they earned trust this eased up. Now that they are teens they are mostly free to do what they want.

My experience with a number of bug zappers was that, while they did zap some number of mosquitos, this was not enough to prevent other mosquitos from biting us. On the other hand a good strong fan can act as an area denial defense. Not always easy/possible to have a good strong fan going, so YMMV.

Bug zappers dont work too well. A fan can be more effective in some cases depending on your circumstances.

99% so far. I rarely open Reddit at all aymore.

Canadian Geese. They are super aggressive but cannot hurt you.

I used Android for over a decade. Then recently my work bought me an iPhone. My biggest struggle was finding a replacement for Reddit Is Fun, until I found Apollo. I mourned for its loss until I found Lemmy and Wewef. In the end a phone is a phone but Lemmy is life!

I got a TRS-80 color computer that same year. Now I am an IT pro with 20+ years of experience.
