Worth it. Cars are an ongoing cost, and don’t bring joy if you’re not into them. I think you made the right choice, you chose joy.

That makes God a rapist who didn’t get consent.

If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

• Luke 1:38

Trump: “I stopped the genocide.”

Us: “You made the genocide worse!”

Trump: “Worse? Or better?”

Therapy is maintenance (at the very least). If you haven’t ever been to therapy, you’re driving around without an oil change.

You’re 41. No one is stopping you from buying and eating gummy snacks.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.

Not old, it’s called being emotionally mature (may depend on how you are processing it).

Sir / Ma’am, this is a Wendy’s.

I see economists complaining about variations of this policy being bad, e.g. leading to food desserts.

Sounds delicious. Let us eat cake.

Why? Do you fear to dance? You know what the cure to that is?

Exposure therapy! No more fear! Time for dancing!

For me personally, I want to limit interactions with my phone by reading notifications on my wrist increasing interactions with my watch

That just sounds like interactions with your phone but with extra steps.

Hey, man. You dropped this: 👑

1. Upvote one
2. Downvote the repeats
3. Block the user
4. Move on with my life.
5. Smile

If you’re wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I’d recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they’re cheap, so if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t matter much.

• LED Christmas Trees
• Digital Clocks
• Bluetooth speaker - the SMD components are done for you.
• FM Radio Kits
• LED Sound Spectrum Display - Lots of practice with this one

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

To add to this: take notice of how much they are sharing back. If all they are saying are acknowledgements (e.g “Yeah”, “of course”, “I hear that”, “wow, that’s crazy”) then they aren’t really with you in the conversation. The dialogue has become a monologue.

“Depeche mode”?

OOTL: Oh, it’s a band.

Better. I’d rather work with reality than endlessly chase fantasies which I’ll never reach.

Unfortunately that is how the human body works. Our sleep/wake cycle can only naturally drift by about an hour a day. It isn’t entirely dependent on how you feel.

and you’re not hurting anyone else in doing so

Evaluating this condition across all levels of your community is almost impossible, from the individual level up to a global level. It can also be evaluated across time. The total sum effects of actions (and inactions) are incalculable.

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
