Ted talks have sucked for at least 8 years

Obviously there are workarounds, but I suppose it provides a good justification for parents to deny their kids access to social media.

Maintain eye contact.

Shit makes me so uncomfortable. Look at me all you want, that’s fine. I’m going to look at that plant.

If you want to look at that plant, I’ll look at you, but you can’t have both.

Unless we both look at the plant. That’s fine too.

You’re not alone in not living up to your principles, virtually nobody can.

I once tried to vet all the products I was buying to make sure I wasn’t contributing to slave labour, or deforestation, or animal exploitation, and it was exhausting.

It was good to identify brands which were absolute villains, and I still avoid them like the plague, but the amount of willpower it takes to travel to multiple stores and pick only the lesser of evils is something I’m not capable of right now.

I make gradual improvements, which is sustainable.

I am dead-set on repairing what I can, and hate spending money on new things.

My mother does wildlife rescues, birds are mostly, then goes home and cooks a roast chicken.

She knows it’s hypocritical. Cognitive dissonance is weird.

Also, it’s not so alienating. I attend dinners with my family, and I’ll eat roast vegies, and bring a side-dish for myself. Over time a few of my friends became vegan (I didn’t convince them to) and it’s exciting to share recipes.

If nothing else, reduce your meat intake over time.

As with most changes people make, the more drastic, the more unlikely it is to stick.

When I became vegan I was a slut for KFC burgers, and I “failed” a few times, but I just kept reminding myself it’s not good for anyone, and mustered up the will power to drive past, and eat at home instead.

There’s a much easier way.

https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-jellyfin/#usage

Copy the text from the docker-compose section, and paste it into a file called compose.yaml

You can also add your other programs which rely on each other (Sonarr/Radar/qBitttorrent) in this same compose.yaml file (you can find them on this website).

When copying the other programs, omit the lines:

---
Services:

After that, in your terminal, navigate to where the compose.yaml file is, and run this command

docker compose up -d

Now your suite of applications are installed and can talk to each other.

You’ll need to change some of the details of the compose file (to set timezones and media directories).

You can restart programs with

docker restart jellfin

LinuxServer.io are basically your one-stop shop for home-server applications

Are you using the LSIO docker image, or did you install it manually via the official website instructions?

That’s why I always:

• cd .cache
• ls
• rm -r *

Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic

It wasn’t just China either.

First anecdote:

I’m convinced driving stoned is still a problem (though I understand my experiences may be an outlier);

My friend used to drive stoned regularly, and while in the car with him he failed to notice traffic lights and stop signs. These are mistakes he didn’t make while sober.

Caveat: he was an inexperienced driver at the time, so he probably hadn’t developed intuitive driving habits, so being stoned meant he needed to manually assess every action.

Second anecdote:

I feel that driving drunk is so bad, not necessarily because of distraction or motor control (though once sufficiently drunk, these are absolutely an issue)

I feel the most dangerous part about driving drunk is the overconfidence which comes with it. People are much more likely to take risks while drunk. Conversely, people who are stoned are paranoid, so they’re locked in and focused on not looking like they’re driving inebriated.

I think they meant the giver.

COX: Drug traffickers love gizmos. They love gadgets. And if they have something like, ooh, the app is hidden behind a calculator, they think that’s amazing, and they want to buy it.

TIL drug traffickers have the mindset of a teenage boy looking for ways to hide porn.

PSA. Send stuff to your local post office and then go pick it up.

(Not my art)

Sure, but not really using it again, right?

Find a partner who looks similar to Crush, replace their wardrobe with virtually identical clothes to Crush, along with haircut, perfume, etc.

Constantly visit shops close to Crush’s house, so it’s “coincidence” when you bump into Crush and Partner.

From there, before they can talk their way out of an awkward situation, joke about how they look like twins, and that fantasy has always appealed to you.

I’ve only got $50, can someone loan me the other half, and I’ll pay you back when I’ve got that $10,000

At least they have precident now.
