Short-form video is destroying attention spans and critical thinking skills. The level of brainrot I see in people who are hooked on Tiktok or other platforms is staggering. “I saw 500 10-second videos about this topic and now believe it with every ounce of my being, because the algorithm specifically pushes this particular point of view.” seems to be a common occurrence these days.
Keep trying. For science.
Take a vacation and see if that improves things. If so, burnout. If not, look for other reasons that you’re lacking motivation.
No, I heat it up. It tastes better and has a better texture when heated.
How is this child labor? The kid pursued a passion project.
A lack of organization. There’s no one central voice organizing large scale protests, so you get hundreds or thousands of smaller protests that don’t attract media attention.
If retail sales and home growing are illegal, how do people get weed? Bringing over state lines?
Agreed, Finch is a great way to keep track of self-care and watch your little creature thrive through it.
I wouldn’t recommend it. I did this once (didn’t see the cop). He just pulled up next to me at the next red light and shook his head in disapproval, but I fully expected to be pulled over. Tbf I’m white and was presenting female at the time, so I imagine it would have gone differently if I was any other demographic.
I’m not sure I agree with this, unless OP did something offensive. I’m back in the dating world for the first time in nearly a decade, and with every match that goes poorly either I explain “I’m sorry, I don’t see this going anywhere further but I wish you the best.” or they do the same for me. The only instance of ghosting was when a man tried to SA me a few months ago.
Jobs you’re applying to, as well, should send a response to your application even if it’s just an automated generic email.
Oh man, Basshunter was huge in the chronically-online gamer space in the 2000s. His other songs are pretty good too.
To put it in perspective, the fact that they’re gaming on laptops and LCD monitors was an enviable flex when his songs released.
That’s a throwback. Let’s take it one step further and just get back on Ventrilo and play some DOTA. (For the younger folks who don’t get the reference: https://youtu.be/aTJncWndUB8 )
I have two servers, one Mac and one Windows. For the Mac I just map directly to the smb share, for the Windows it’s a standard network share. My desktop runs Linux and connects to both with ease.
Not gonna lie, I just map a network share and copy and paste through the gui.
Sure, if I’m meeting a vendor for lunch it would be normal. If I’m just sitting at my desk working through lunch like I typically do, it would be really strange to have a drink and I’d probably be reprimanded.

Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ. It was the highlight of my summers as a kid.
The 90s shows ReBoot and a modern day MMO. Any, really. It would be badass to see the Guardians get stuck in an MMO and try to beat the MSQ to escape, all while fighting a virus that infected the game. It would be like Sword Art.
Tl:dr Discovered I have a phobia for sleight-of-hand magicians and it ruined the most romantic opportunity of my life.
I booked an expensive, bougie hotel room for me and my (at the time) boyfriend, and we were planning on a wild night. He asked me to leave the room for an hour for him to prepare, so I went to the hotel bar for a drink. A guy approached me to bum a cig and began doing random magic tricks - pulling cards out of nowhere, making things appear in my pocket, and making ashes appear in my palm. I’m not sure why, but I absolutely panicked - it felt so violating to think that he was in my pockets and making things happen to my body without my knowledge or consent.
I ended up in a full blown panic attack and rushed back to the room. My partner was fully ready for an amazing romantic encounter, with rose petals and champagne and everything. I ended up just hyperventilating and ranting about scary magicians then fell asleep. I felt so bad that I ruined the night. I still get anxiety when I see magic tricks.
Worked in retail for 8 years and still feel no joy in my life over a decade later. Does that count?
Not a full hosting solution, but I use PerfectViewer on Android and it’s wonderful. Connects right into my server and displays all of my books and Manga on a shelf layout. It only syncs to my server locally because I don’t have a VPN to my home configured, but it does allow downloading which is handy when I’m traveling. I’m not sure if it has every feature you’re looking for but it might be worth checking out.
