Music recommendations are part of the core offering though and keeping play history is pretty vital for that. There might be local ways to do it but probably not as good

What helped me was the realisation that procrastrination was a loop of distracting myself to avoid feeling bad about not having done the thing yet.

It unlocked the ability to go "Does this actually need doing?" and if so "I feel bad about doing this and would like to escape it by doing something more fun right now, but that will make me feel worse later so I'll just do it now and accept feeling bad for a few moments while starting the task"

Some tasks don't actually need doing and then I can stop feeling bad about them

YMMV

The vehicle contained it all pretty well, with the main exit for force and fire was via the window between the trunk and the cabin

Engineered like a tank... but the tank is a T72

I rented a car at some point where you had to input the address letter by letter using a little scrollwheel kinda thing.

Smartphones have issues, but the map thing is a killer feature in itself.

No, let them clean up their own mess.

But perhaps stop awarding them government contracts until they do?

A plot point in Brave New World, although as dystopias go it's a surprisingly kind one

I had those. They were much worse.

If this feels insurmountable, find one vegetarian dish you like and put that into your rotation, and you've already improved.

My best tip is to go for something that's by nature vegetarian like an indian dal or some of the great lebanese stuff like hummus, muhammara, baba-ganoush etc, rather than "I can't believe it's not meat!" products.

Repeat untill you're on a mostly vegetarian diet you like. If you get close to full vegetarian, start easting vitamin-b supplements.

You're not wrong.

...but on the chicken part. Do people really routinely overstock on perishable items? Like, you can misjudge, but if you keep throwing food out because it's gone bad, surely you'd adjust your purchasing habits?

Oh the earth will recover eventually! It's even possible humanity survives in some form!

If you want to know if your kid is LGBTQ+, respect them as humans when they're growing up and don't be trans- homo- etc-phobic. They'll tell you at some point.

If they don't tell you, take a long hard look at yourself
