When translated to American, it's honestly not that impressive anymore. 🀷

Are you my wife? Since we discovered Pluto, our TVs are constantly flipping between America's Test Kitchen, MST3K, Antiques Roadshow and Jersey Shore if we're feeling especially rowdy.

There's also a Mr Rodger's Neighborhood channel that our we leave running in the mornings for kid and dogs when we leave hah.

I almost instinctually downvoted that.

Get fucked, Rob.

Thanks! I almost know what that means!

I've really wanted to start tinkering with rasberry pi, so maybe that'll be a fun first project!

Least hated, not most loved.

I use Spotify and every time I use a voice command to play a song, it plays some shitty dance remix. I tried to play You've Got a Friend in Me from Toy Story for my kid but we were ear raped by some Disney approved dance mix instead.

Amazon Music now refuses to play your playlists without first trying to play some shitty iHearRadio mix.

It's about time to go back to pirating music.

Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."

Yup.

I just found myself picking fights with locals on the opposite side of the political spectrum and it got bad enough that my handle was named in two different defamation lawsuits. 🀷. Luckily decent opsec made me harder to find IRL, but both cases were laughed out of court anyway.

I always feel like I'm going to miss something important, but honestly, there is nothing important happening that I can't just hear from someone else. I really want to get to the point where I wake up, throw on some clothes, and go for a walk and leave my phone at home. I think if I can do this through the fall and winter, I can do it forever.

You can run down some of the clock by making yourself a good breakfast every morning! My wife got into a real tamagoyaki kick and I've been making her one pretty much every day and it makes me pretty happy to be cooking again.

Oh shit, that's a really good one. I hate that I instinctually grab my phone and start doom scrolling. Getting rid of Twitter was a big one that helped for me.

 

After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why.

This month I have:

Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid.

Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently.

Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk.

Made doctor and dentist appointments.

Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.

Man I don't even care anymore. 99% of the posts are bots or weird ass antagonists, the app is complete shit and only works half the time, and there are so many worthless ads.

Zzz reddit can just go die.
