I’m taking a grad school course about the psychology of decision making, and the science behind how we process and use data hurts my mind and soul. At some level, we are biological logic machines. The implications of that terrify me.

Pc with steam deck for me. Although, my gaming has been 80-90% steam deck lately…

My dad is way better at car maintenance and handy work. Machines just talk to him.

I was thinking Vimes, but I’m not sure I could handle the guilt of taking him from young Sam.

For me, waiting for the phone to ring was torture, because I could be interrupted at any time. It was draining and stressful. If you’re actually able to relax, that’s different.

Hag!

Hot fuzz. Because the first watch is enjoyable, but every subsequent rewatch makes you appreciate Edgar Wright more and more. He is just the most incredibly meticulous story teller with the most dense movies.

I always thought it was a way to show the foibles of using pure logic in a regular setting.

Point still stands that neither would want to go to work.

Yeah, but neither Clone would want to go to the job. Both would want to sleep.

That’ll do it, lol

Miniature painting, like for DnD and Warhammer is a great skill that starts easy and can ramp up in difficulty as you learn new techniques. It can get expensive however, but is great for relaxing and being creative.

When I was working for a video rental place on Thanksgiving, people would always say “I can’t believe you have to work today!” While renting movies. I wanted to yell at them “if you didn’t come in, I wouldn’t have to!”

Other way around. Places default to open, then if people don’t come, they stay closed next year as acost saving measure.

I’m glad to hear it! If you are lacking fiber, it can drastically improve your life.

Metamucil (psyillium fibre)

It’s kinda simple, but Metamucil. I would get terrible stomach aches, bloating and constipation whenever I had greasy food. Now, if I have 1-2 servings of Metamucil a day, then 1 extra right as I eat greasy food, I don’t feel terrible!

If you got a camping backpack maybe you could bring them! That’s my plan.

Each book is under $10 unless they are hardcovers, so $20 should be fine. Probably $30-35 if they like hardcovers.

I mean, civil rights, LGBT rights and such have grown dramatically from our inception. We’ve regressed in awful ways recently, but we’ve also seen a huge fight against that. In every state that has had abortion rights on the ballot, people have voted to protect or expand those rights. Progress is not a direct route. But we’re going in the right general direction, and in the long run it won’t be stopped.
