That’s actually a good rule of thumb for every scenario in life.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Driving used to stress me out, but you honestly just get used to it. Your brain just autopilots 90% of it once you’ve been driving over a year or so.

The 90% autopilot frees up your brain to focus on the big picture of what’s happening. You’ve just gotta be careful you don’t slip to like 95% autopilot where you’re not paying attention anymore.

You can’t polish a turd.

I don’t know how much I even want from a phone these days. Just seems like things have stagnated in the mobile market for the past few years.

I honestly don’t know what I enjoy more about my current phone compared to the one I had 10 years ago.

They can be used for communication, payments, maps, music, YT and browsing the web. I think I’ll just get a small, cheap phone next time, as it’ll still check all those boxes.

Soap

I think he’s taller than usual, so it takes him longer to accelerate at the start, but then he makes up for it with long strides.

I have the exact opposite problem, I end up telling everyone that I’m drunk repeatedly.

Don’t you have to be in an almost pitch black room for it to look decent though? I also heard there can be pretty bad input lag?

It was quite a few years ago that I last looked into a projector so maybe they’ve gotten better, but these days massive TVs are so cheap I don’t know if it would even be worth it.

The meaning of OP’s question seems blindingly obvious to me, as long as you don’t take it too literally…

I’d say the DaVinci code would be a good answer, I’ve got a copy that I’ve never read. Same with the Harry Potter books as well.

The girl on the train is another book that everyone seems to own, but nobody reads.

The same reason anyone buys anything that they don’t use, they think they’ll enjoy it but in reality they don’t find time or lose interest.

Hmm, okay, sounds like focusing on the bits you do end up saying is going to help.

Maybe ask your manager or someone to give you examples of when you’re being disruptive and how to approach it differently next time.

I know that’s a bit awkward, but if you fundamentally don’t understand what you’re doing wrong then you need external feedback.

I also have that issue, so I try and focus on not going too far down the rabbit hole if it’s not relevant.

If I’m speaking to my boss I’ll say:

“This happens because of that, I’m gonna fix that”

As opposed to:

“What’s happening is X does Y, then Z occurs. That’s because of the A and B not being quite right, because B is blah blah blah. I thought about trying option 1, but that doesn’t work because blah, option 2 doesn’t work either because blah, but option 3 works because of blah blah blah.”

If they don’t need that info, then you don’t need to share it.

It sounds like you’re taking “over participating” to mean that you’re getting involved in too many conversations, when it actually sounds like you’re just dominating any conversation you get involved in.

It doesn’t matter that you avoid 90% of conversations if you’re still disrupting any that you do get involved with.

The key to being good in conversation is to actively listen and nudge other people to carry on talking. It sounds like you’re just waiting your turn then talking about whatever you feel like.

I don’t have any specific advice, except that you should probably focus on what you do say, as opposed to what you don’t say, if that makes sense.

I generally pirate first and buy later if I want to support a game. I think of it as voting with my wallet.

I pirated BG3, enjoyed it even though it’s generally not the sort of game I play. Decided that I want to see more companies making games of this quality in future, so went ahead and bought it.

Same with FromSoftware games, I always buy those as I want more games like that.

Ultimately, if you never buy anything then you can’t expect companies to make the games you want.

Yeah, surely it’s only a conspiracy if there’s proof of aliens that’s being hidden from people.

Someone should tell the wannabe communists that they’d still have to work.

Seems like you’re looking for an argument and using me as a straw man, considering I’ve said none of that and actually agree with the points you’re making.

If you work and do your part you should get shelter, medical care and all the other necessities, as well as time to live your life.

Someone’s part is whatever they’re able to do. If they have disabilities that mean they can’t contribute in a work environment then they’ve essentially already done their part.

There needs to be a base level that means everyone is protected and has what they need. And in an ideal world I’d like to see people like teachers and doctors being among the highest paid/rewarded for what they do.

Actually, the person in the tweet is saying they don’t want to work. If you go based off that, then they don’t want to be a part of any society, they just want everything for free.

If you want to be part of society, then you work and contribute. Otherwise, you’re just a leech. Whether you’re a billionaire or a poor one.
