People continuously complaining about the same personal issues over and over, but doing absolutely nothing to change their situation.
The best piece of advice anyone ever gave me: "If you continue to experience the same issues, especially in different places or with different people, the only common denominator is you".

I blacklisted the site on my router, worked like a charm. Am much happier without it!
My landlord is really awesome, I didn't realize tipping them was a thing we should do. What's the etiquette for this? Monthly? Only when a service is needed? Etc
Can't believe I'm about to say this, but hear me out ... take a gander at "How to Win Friends and Influence People".
For the record, every time someone mentioned this to me, I'd cringe with disgust. I avoided it for most of my life because I viewed the content as a way to manipulate people. And yeah, maybe it kinda is, but at its core, it explains human psychology and the way our brains really work. We're just kinda selfish, ya know? Most of us need to get before we even think about giving. We've got a lot to worry about and too much to focus on sometimes.
Idk, maybe there are better books out there, better references, etc. But that book helped me with a lot of my social issues, improved relationships with my coworkers, etc. To me, it's more than just a "Tell them why they want it before even asking them" type of thing, it helped me understand the other person's point of view better, helped me empathize with their needs before charging through, full speed ahead. Instead of thinking "this is a really good idea, everyone should back me", I think more about how it would actually benefit others instead of "this is what I want, we should do it".
Forgive my oldness here, I'm assuming it's a smart watch.
I use this app for several alarms all day long to remind me to eat and drink. I even purchased the premium because it has a lot of neat options.

I began ignoring the water alarms overtime, so I bought this water bottle that lights up when it's time to drink.

Not sure of any communities, just wanted to wish you luck on your journey. I'm pushing 40 and have been 7 days 100% sober, longest stretch of my adult life. Best of luck 🫡
Hey thanks! I gave up Facebook, Twitter, and the like many years ago. I browsed Reddit endlessly until the API fiasco, switched to kbin for a bit, then gave it all up for a few months. Got bored one day and found my kbin link was dead, so I switched to Lemmy and just realized I've been getting hooked again - thus experiencing this same vicious circle.
Time to give it up again and get back to real life, my morning routine has definitely been slacking. Maybe I'll find a podcast to keep up on the latest while working out.
