Alcohol and drug use aside, I have changed a few things about myself and my routine that have helped me tremendously. Maybe they can help you, or someone else:

1. Cook for yourself. Find some simple recipes for wholesome meals (i.e. wholesome in the sense that it meets your nutritional requirements, and that you make it yourself most from scratch).
   • I tend to focus on lean meats, high protein, and green veggies.
2. Set aside one or two hours in your day for just yourself. Play video games, read a book, watch a movie, or take a walk. The idea is to scratch a personal itch you would otherwise deny yourself because of responsibilities or “lack of time”.
3. Naps. If you can, try to take a nap each day. Try to stay with 20-30 minutes, but recognize like any habit/hobby, it takes time to get it right.
   • I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll set a 30 minute timer and only actually nap for 20 minutes.
4. Meditation. I usually do this when I nap or go to sleep for the night. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are in a headband (for sleeping), and I’ll cue up an hour long ASMR or guided sleep video. The guided sleep ones are real good because they teach you box breathing, and help keep your mind focused on yourself so it doesn’t wander into the things that keep you awake.
5. Develop a regular cleaning schedule. Not only will it keep your house clean and tidy, but it allows you to focus your energy into something productive and positive.
   • I use my Notes app to create my to-do lists, and check things off as they get done.
   • If I do something not on my list, I add it and immediately check it off; having a really long list checked off feels real good.
   • I don’t care if I get my list done in a day or week. It’ll get done.

CBD gummies for me, but yes, samsies. Cheers!

I’m working on it. 😁

You’re not alone.

I was thinking around the outer edge of whatever separates the circle from the wall, so the illumination comes from behind.

Edit: on a second look, I might’ve been mistaken.

Wow. Great choices! Would the TARDIS wall also include LED lighting behind each circle? Because as much of a pain in the ass as that would it, it’d also be like bow ties.

Instagram also auto skips some reels (i.e. makes it look like you swiped up on it when you didn’t), and then shows you the same ad you just skipped right after.

Color me curmudgeon, but automated dependency updates should never be a consideration.

Also, one thing I do like that Github does is that it can be configured to send you a report of dependency changes (in yarn, for example).

Oh! Ok. I was under the impression the verbiage had the word Reject in it somewhere; that’s on me. It makes much more sense now, and I get what you’re saying. Thanks for the clarification!

I personally have never seen a pay to reject. What types of websites have you come across that do that? I’m genuinely curious.

Nothing will get better.

Ironic given the community you’re posting to, and its own rules. But 🤷‍♂️.

Yes. Correct.

Hey, maybe they enjoy the bone-jarring slam that happens in the middle of the night when the seat slips out of their hand and slams down like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Who are we to judge? 🤣

It literally crumbled under the weight! 🤣

We shall see. I have yet to go back to the store.

Would this count in your book?

Thank you for confirming what I said. 😊

This may or may not help, but here’s my two cents:

Windows was originally built to be as user-friendly as possible because its target audience are non-tech-savvy people. It then evolved into being a business OS. So security was never its first priority.

UNIX was built for tech savvy people to do business-sensitive stuff, and required sophisticated security models. Linux was modeled after UNIX (Minix specifically), and thus inherited those same principles. It evolved to become more user friendly. But security remained a priority.

Now, that said, both Windows and Linux are configurable. You can make Windows more secure with effort, just like you can make Linux less secure with effort (and I don’t mean simply using root all the time).

There are diehards on both sides , and they will make excellent (or terrible) arguments for their favored OS. So you need to decide what works best for you and your use case and go with that. 😊

I still sometimes face the shelves because I’ve been there and I want to show solidarity.
