You need to make an actual effort.
  • I think it's more complex than this. Yes, absolutely, if something works for you personally but it's not supported by scientific consensus, that makes sense to follow your own research. Health routines, diet, religion, whatever you do in your personal life, especially if you aren't concerned about whether your neighbors are doing it too. The sentiment of the post applies best to subjects that apply broadly to groups of people, like vaccines, or trans people, or climate change, or even creationism or flat earth. If you aren't following the scientific consensus, then you may be hurting yourself or others. Yes, science gets things wrong, but it also has drastically improved quality of life for everyone.

  • People who gave up on "the dream", do you regret it? How are you?
  • I'm not sure you're thinking of this in the most helpful way. A lot of times we are attracted to the kind of people that make us feel comfortable, and what makes us feel comfortable is what we have experience with. So for example if we have a toxic relationship with our parents, or with a first relationship, often we become attracted to people who embody similar toxicity. So its likely not that you are unattractive, but instead need to rethink why you have been attracted to the people who cheated on you. Maybe they all have attributes in common? Anyway, being cheated on sucks, and I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

  • Last year my wife said "most games can be run on Linux now because of steam deck, I think I'll switch to Linux" and I said "well I guess I'm switching too" so I un-installed windows, and I've been full time since, even starting to self host jellyfin and nextcloud. She and I have both done linux in the past, but gaming was what was holding us back. There wasn't anything WRONG with windows per se , except maybe the looming threat of windows 11, I just really love linux, open source, and being able to easily lift up the hood to peek inside

    I use arch BTW. And Debian, my first love.

    YSK to lose weight, fill up with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables. This can trigger satiety without the overload of calories and beats going hungry long term.
  • Fruits have plenty of fiber, which helps increase satiety, which is what's important here. Also check the difference between a candy bar and a piece of friut, and then think about which fills you up better with fewer calories. Density matters too, it's much easier to snarf down a bunch of candy than to eat the same caloric value in fruit.

  • Elon
  • I actually don't think it's a big deal that there were technical problems, there were millions of people trying to get in at the same time. What I don't like is him lying that it was a ddos attack.

  • EXPLAIN
  • I'm with you. I meditate and I have aphantasia. I focus on my breath mostly, but as someone with adhd, my brain goes everywhere. The key is to not scold your brain for losing focus, but instead once you realize, note that you lost focus, and then gently bring your attention back to the breath. Meditation doesn't have to have an end goal or a focus point or imagery or anything, really. I just like to take note of how my body is feeling, what my mind is thinking, emotions that come up, etc.

  • Human vs machine
  • I am 36 and my wife is 35. I do not enjoy online multi-player games, and my wife pretty much exclusively plays them. I think this is about people's specific anxieties rather than age.

  • What is the worst experience you've had reading a book?
  • I made it about this far as well. The thing that frustrated me the most was that early in the series they had to get from one place to another quickly, and they used that extra dimensional underground path or whatever, and they were like "oooooo, this is super dangerous, someone could definitely die!" and then later in the series it was just like, "yeah, we gotta take this route, nbd." So the stakes just felt really low and overall things got repetitive.

  • How did gravity worked on the Death Star?
  • the Death Stars are mostly hallow

    Our Death Star, who art in heaven,

    Hallowed be thy name,

    Thy empire come, thy will be done,

    On Alderaan as it is in heaven,

    Give us this day our daily rations,

    And forgive us our rebellion,

    As we forgive those who rebel against us,

    And lead us not to the light side,

    But deliver us from the Jedi,

    For thine is the empire, and the unlimited power, and the dark side forever,

    Amen

  • How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight?
  • I don't know that you are actually asking the question that you want an answer to. So here's an answer: it's okay for each of you to take the amount of time that you are taking to recover. But it also sounds like you both may not be understanding each other's feelings or feeling like your feelings are being understood. Couples therapy might be helpful. I also recommend "Non violent communication" by Marshall Rosenberg. It's essentially an extension of the therapisty thing of using "I feel" language.
