eighty

Maybe I’m a dunce but I wouldn’t even know how to keep all my books spread evenly at rest let alone like this

I always miss this 😭

it’s a big ask for anyone so I’d recommend, if they’re open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I’d make the argument that’s the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.

If it is, I’d encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it’s mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it’s over 20 years syndication), the animation isn’t quite consistent.

I have more to say but wouldn’t want to overwhelm you but essentially it’s small steps and you’ll see what the fuss is about, especially since we’re nearing the endgame.

Jogging got me into eating regularly and destressor (I visualised as which is going to win - a 5k run or my mood/frustration).

if your anger wins, you finish the 5k in record time (next time go farther). Most of the time I just finish the run feeling less stressed and more able to tackle the issue with a clear mind without the mood.

Now I actually have legit reason to feel tired and friends/family look at me as an athlete for just doing 5k. There’s a lot of benefits but just make sure to go at your own pace/growth and not compare to others.

Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)

There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee

I see you. I get thrown off when my liked playlist is shuffled or songs go missing. The world is chaotic and I just want consistency.
