Older but not necessarily wiser. Been online since 1970s BBS
The answer is: do a job you like and do the things you like. I’m due to retire in ten years and won’t be doing so. I won’t work as much but I will work
It’s easier in some countries than others. But the key is not wasting time on things that you feel pressured to do because of societal norms or because you’re too lazy to do anything different.
It was actually much easier than I expected. I used to smoke 40 a day about 30 years ago . One day I just decided to give up. The first few days aren’t that bad, you will get cravings but I found the best thing to do was distract yourself. Giving up while I was busy at work was a good way to distract my brain. After a few days the cravings get less and less.
What is harder is months down the line when you accidentally catch secondhand smoke. I couldn’t help but think “I’ve given up for so long, just one wouldn’t hurt”
It must be easier nowadays because fewer people smoke (in most countries) but back then it was common to see people light up when they left buildings.
I popped over to Reddit for the first time since third party apps were cruelly shut down. It’s clear that Reddit has sunk to new lows. Obviously trolling and a marked decrease in the quality of content
Probably about an hour.
The first few episodes Mariner was written as hyperactive and overbearing to the point of being off-putting.
But they responded to feedback and wrote her differently going forward and seem to have made some edits to earlier episodes.
It might be worth seeing some later episodes once it got settled in.
Disagree, work gave me an A21s. At least once a day I’ll be staring at a blank screen for 30 seconds before it shows me the buttons to answer a call but by then the caller has hung up. Also randomly it will turn the screen brightness down so low that you can’t see to turn it up.
Heaven knows how awful the A0 and A1 series are!
He seems like a lovely man and is generally interesting. But he has an opinion on everything even when he doesn’t have any knowledge of the subject. So can be a difficult follow on occasion. If that happens, don’t unfollow but put him on mute for a few days.
I don’t know why you are being downvoted. I was talking about this with another dog owner.
People haven’t trained their dogs to walk at heel.
You often see owners being almost dragged along pavements with the dogs on the road side.
Dogs on a long leash while near a road or people.
Etc etc
Also, an old person. I think the difference this time is twofold.
The people in charge are clearly crazy and in some cases unwell. The general enshitification of life. Ordinary every day things are much worse but more expensive.
I agree it won’t end but society as we knew it ten years ago (a hope that the future would be better, the big problems could be tackled) is finished.
He’s too vain to wear spectacles so he squints. Combined with the way he screws his face up like a child it makes his facial features look smaller.
