That's the thing. I was pretty self-aware and I still made those choices. Imagine how much worse it is for people who don't even know what they're doing to themselves. They'll just keep pushing on ahead while their mind and body deteriorates.
I've been there. Once you start thinking to yourself that there is no long term future ahead of you, the kind of choices you make becomes almost like a sick joke. Buy some fruit and vegetables to eat so that you can feel nourished and live a long life, or eat some feel good salty sugar loaded fast food because you have no fucking future anyway? Study and gain employable skills or play video games right now because you're going to die homeless next month after you can no longer pay rent due to a pandemic?
This is hugely underrated. My room's poorly insulated so when it's hot, it's like a microwave in here and when it's cold, I can feel it to my bone (I remember almost crying some nights in 2018 because it was so cold). There's no central heating and the AC is outside my room and doesn't reach my room at all. When it was cold, I would stay in bed longer. Then I wouldn't be able to spend longer than 5-10 minutes sitting at my desk before going back to under a blanket. When it's hot, I would feel so incredibly lazy and drained of energy and ultimately do nothing except lie on the floor hoping for better days. Now that I have a fan and a small space heater, things are a lot better.
For me, it feels like I've fallen face flat into a puddle of doubt. Yes, believing in some particular idea and putting it to practice felt great at the time, but now the science has said it's bullshit and I'm wrong for believing in it. If I choose to keep believing in it because it makes me feel good, they're going to call me stupid and a science denier!
Half joking. I'd rather be stupid, get my sleep, and feel great. ;)
Isn't it obvious that dark retreats as light approaches? :) That's why you are downvoted, despite not writing anything even remotely offensive or wrong.
Anyone else tired of learning and internalizing cool new concepts and then those ideas you had come to adopt and believe in gets debunked/disproven soon after? Might be better just to not believe anything so you don’t get betrayed anymore lol
I've been training at home since before the quarantine and simply continued what I was doing, so I'm not sure if I can say I'm getting healthier in quarantine when I would've had the same results regardless.
I'll say though, before the quarantine, I used to go out to do grocery shopping or to cafes a lot more, so now I'm getting less sunlight and cardio than usual. Soon I'll even forget how to talk to people.
That’s probably the worse example to use for your argument. Britain is a place where cops will come to your door to investigate over non-death threat tier posts on Twitter.
Pretty much every time I've installed a fresh Firefox, all the telemetry is enabled by default. Opt out instead of opt in. Surprising considering what they sell themselves as.
Yeah, they have to fire him and then hire someone else. That costs time and money. Then he can make some noise about it and get media attention on his firing.
If this happens enough times, perhaps corporations may be incentivized to change how they do things.
The less fortunate employees still have to pay rent. With your approach, now there's just less people in the company who could have fought for them from within.
I started using a computer and playing games around elementary school too, and even I'm not a programming wizard now. Since I was more about playing games, and following random instructions to get my games to work, I gained familiarity with computers in the sense that I know how to look for information that tells me to smack the tv a few times to get it to work. Also just spent a lot of time online in general reading stuff and being involved in the gaming forums. So I understand how normal people who just use computers for work, chat, listen to music, etc. have no reason or need to ever learn any of this stuff. It doesn't help that developers strive to make their stuff juST woRK for these common people, so they'll never have the experience of having to research and troubleshoot their issues. What do people usually do now? Complain about it until someone else fixes it I guess.
This might work for some people but for me, if by 1AM, I'm not sleepy and I get out of bed to do something else, there's probably no chance I'll sleep at any reasonable time and then be able to wake up at a time like 7AM. I would in fact probably sleep in that day and ruin my schedule, which could start a negative trend. From my experience, I find that even just lying in bed and resting my eyes even if I can't fully sleep is the best way to go. A few hours of meaningful rest in bed alone with my thoughts is time well spent. 1AM is too late to start "occupying myself until my body is ready to sleep". If I needed to do something like this, I would start a few hours before the time I'd like to sleep. First tiring myself out with a quick workout or something and then taking a cold shower which will make me want to bundle up inside a blanket and get super comfortable.
I started having trouble around there too, at 10 and 11. I had to settle for 2 star solutions. I knew I could spend all night trying to do all this (3 stars or nothing) so I called it quits.
I imagine the SHTF moment is not just one thing, but several very unfortunate happenings at the same time. Think power and water outages, people rioting in the streets and looting stores, police unable to contain them without being demonized by the media so they just don't do their job, adversaries from other countries seeing the chaos as their time to act with whatever they've got sitting around in store for us, bad actors trying to inflame the situation further, etc. If only one of these things were happening at one time, we could deal with it. But if everything falls apart at the same time, civilization goes out the window. I assume.
I have one. It's kind of heavy for its size though and slippery due to the rounded edges. The touch display is not the best in terms of responsiveness.
Plus for someone considering an iPhone SE, the XZ2 doesn't have iOS.
One thing I'll note though: Surprisingly my XZ2 did get the full upgrade to Android 10 from Android 9. So that's pretty great considering it's 2 years old.
This is why places like 4chan needs to exist. A place where someone can post anything like this without instantly being demonetized, cancelled, shadowbanned, etc.
Because of 4chan's reputation, people can assume the majority of things from there are bullshit. This also means a whistleblower can release some damning stuff and people will think nothing of it except that it's probably a joke/troll/shizophrenic rambling. And I think that's the perfect cover.
Alright I'll entertain this. I'm in GIMP right now. Used the circle selection tool to select a circle that I want to make a circle with. I looked under Selection and also under Tools > Selection Tools in the top menu, but I couldn't find a "trace selection button". I don't see such a button in the circle selection toolbox settings either. Genuinely baffled, I almost feel dumb for not being able to find it.
My point though, is in any other image editor, you click the circle tool and start making circles in 2 seconds.
This might provide a better look as it's specifically about incidents after the Coronavirus pandemic. Asian mothers everywhere are probably warning their children to be careful when they walk outside, lest some thug mistakes them for a Chinese person and assaults them.
That really makes me think. What kind of fucked up third world country do we live in where all these apathetic people are willing to consider sacrificing their grandmothers just so they can have work to do in order to get by living?
What happened to revolution and eating the rich? Have we lost to the Mr. Money Mustaches of the world?
