Not domeone who has given up gaming, but I stopped gaming for a bit with the hope I would be more productive. Not long, short bursts of a couple of months. I hated it because I would still spend time doing “unproductive” things, but even worse, it felt like I wasn’t doing anything actually fun. Like, I’m scrolling on Reddit or Lemmy for like 2 hours? Sure I read quite a bit, but there’s a lot of uneducationa posts, as well as a lot of time spent scrolling because I was on it for so long that the good posts I got through quickly.

At least with video games, I get a sense of learning, and challenging myself.

this is a great video. I think you should post it in a community.

Does it actually seep? my understanding of chemical waste is: that it doesn’t generate a lot (the US has about a foot ball fields worth from all of our nuclear power plants in our total history, so nearly 70 years), and that they placed is secure, not leaking containers. You’re right that it will eventually be a problem, but probably a problem that we will have to deal with later than our current climate crisis. An argument could be made that maybe new nuclear plants shouldn’t be made, but if we have some up and running, that’s cheap energy that generates little carbon.

Yeah it was surprisingly jarring going to Europe and seeing places that were completely inaccessible by wheel chair. I have never used a wheel chair in my life but I know there’s bars in my area that have mini elevators for peole on wheel chairs to access the lower level that’s only like 4 steps down.

By atom, do you mean nuclear energy? Why did you stop the nuclear plant?, assuming that’s what you’re referring to.

How does this relate to Germany relying using natural gas from Russia, before their invasion of Ukraine? My understanding was that Germany had energy issues at the offset, which I wouldn’t expect considering how much renewavles you use

Not always, especially if they lived in liberal area. I know a lot of well off people that don’t mind being taxed and want other less fortunate than them to get help from the government. That or they view Trump as they threat to democracy that he is.

For sure games since they offer a lot of replayability. Maybe some reaading materials since they also don’t occupy a lot of space.

Damn bro, all part of her plan, she’s going to let you down even harder this time! Jk

Social events like bars and raves are an option. You’ll find people who just want to get shit faced, but also social people. Volunteer work has a lot of people you can interact with and eventually become friends with. Game places are another option as mentioned. Video games as well. If you have a dog, parks are a way to start conversations and meet people.

Budgeting is very important. some people like the 20% of income for saving, 30% for living expenses and the other 50% for everything else. Pre or post tax is up to you as this is a rule of thumb. Important part is that it should be easy for you to build up your savings to cover important expenses. spending 50% of income on housing may be really bad since having back to back years of badluck can screw over your savings, and not give you enough time to save up in between.

This is a general rule that applies when you make enough to do so. If you’re struggling to pay rent, do what you can to remove risk and cut down on costs. One thing that helps is aiming to have savings. Often times, its cheaper to have money up front to resolve emergencies rather than later.

Car is one of those things that can make sense to remove. If you’re commuting one hour already by car, and there’s no public transit option then a car is a necessity. If you can take public transit, that could save you money on car insurance, car payments, car maintenance, and possible accidents.

Drive less would best the recommendation. Though I feel this doesn’t directly help yourself so much as everyone.

I’m very surprised. I kept my out for the last 3ish years. Let me know if you try them again. I’m wondering if that was a fluke bad purchase? Hope its not quality degredation

PIA wiper blades are pretty amazing. They’ve lasted me close to 6 years now I think. Way more price efficient than regular wipers.

Need more details, but it does seem bad.

• What do you mean by beat you up?
• how old are you both?
• what “other house” did you move to and who lives in that house?
• who owns the house?
• Why does he saying he’s doing this?
• What country and state are you in?

without all these details, you probably shouldn’t take any advice here as there’s a lot of incomplete information.

I’ve seen some that are in plastic containers that look sort of like a square jar. There’s a lot in there, and only that one outer packaging. Yamamoto Yama is the brand. If you go in person, careful becuase they have some that are not the squares but the small strips that are more of a topping than a snack.

… so its treason then? Worst American ever… /s

If the food is amazing, then people will come back. The point is to make the location slightly uncomfortable enough that people want to leave sooner, not that they hate the place. The idea is you need to balance cost of food, and customer turn around time. If you make it very expensive, people won’t feel comfortable taking the food to go, even if it is an amazing item. On the flip side, a cheap menu that is very comfortable will be overly cost prohibitive.

Lol. Thanks for the link.

This post right here officer, look at this man saying such illegal words on the internet!

Interesting. I would have imagined, considering the small price, people would just pay the minimal cost to get plastic - bags but it seems people actually began to avoid them which is great news.
