It has always been about power, the rich play by a different set of rules sadly .

He’s a great storyteller, I love listening to his podcasts and interviews. I’m not gonna comment on how credible he is or isn’t, I feel we should all exercise critical thinking when listening to anyone and make a judgment on the merits of what someone is saying than blindly believing everything someone says is true.

I wish more things would use NFC. My mom has old bluetooth speaker from like 10 years ago or older, even I dunno, but it has NFC tap to connect, and it’s so convient. I dunno why more bluetooth devices don’t have tap to connect. Like others have said, NFC is mostly used in the states for contactless payments and stuff, which is convient but I mostly just tap with my card, not even pulling out my phone since I always have my wallet on me.

There’s real people to talk to and the quality of conversation are much better.

Commafeed it’s great

I love taking a nice long soak with some Epsom salt. Melts all the stress away.

The decade that started all the problems we’re dealing with now tbh.

YT music is way better than Spotify. But some AI stuff is reccomeded .I haven’t used Spotify in probably almost a decade. I used to use Play music back in the day and got in the habit of downloading albums and uploading them I used a different service since google nuked play music and revived in as yt music.

But downloading and building your own music library you cultivate is the only way to vett music sources and ensure you aren’t listening to slop

I never had a dishwasher growing up. When I moved into my current home and It had a dishwasher, I thought it was dumb, till I started using it… But I do a little bit of both, on the days where I am super lazy and let the dishes pile up, I would put them in the dishwasher just to get them clean, but on the days where I am truly responble adult, I would just take the 5-10 minutes to wash the little bit of dishes by hand. So in short, both.

I just think of it as chilling doing something fun. Doing your hobbies without your phone near should reduce the urge to “make content”. But also realizing that the juice is sometimes just not worth the squueze, I mean, you could try, but doing something for the sake of doing it out of enjoyment is what helps me do my hobbies.

Yep it’s such a fragile situation

I’m the same with reading novels! It’s so hard for me to situate things because I don’t see images while reading! I found out that’s called antaphasia!

Those are some good hobby ideas! I’m going to get back into drawing and doing urban sketching to get out of the house more and join some local urban sketcher meet ups.

I tried lifiting and I didn’t enjoy it! But I’m going to try it again or something that seems more fun! I was looking some things up, and kettlebells seem like alot of fun, swing and all, lol! So I’m going to look into that more and see if there are any classes.

I never really considered that IRL is just as brianrot as online! And in some ways it makes sense! Like people spend alot of their time online as is, so I’m not surprised that people’s behaviors today are at a minimum influenced by online media and such. It’s a vicious collective action problem! I dunno how to change the sisuation but I’m going to be doing more hobbies and things not on a screen, that’s for sure, lol!

I’m going to look into fun physical activities to do! I do go rock climbing with my brothers but truthfully It’s not my favorite thing to do. But I’m going to keep exploring things.

That’s a good idea! I have an old Kubo that I neglected for far to long!

This is wonderful advice, and I’m gonna just take things day and day and try to get out of my shell despite the cringe and discomfort. I need to remind myself that being uncomfortable is how I grow and to stick to it!

This man gotta stop! This is getting out of hand.

I was actually a Sustainability major but switched to Social Services then made my own, because I wanted to focus on stuff I was interested in. But yeah, thinking about it I feel it just depends on how I market it. And I was considering grad school and might get a MSW or MPA.
