Sadly, this has the same issue as the DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT license because it doesn’t protect the creator from liability. Otherwise, I always love these parody licenses.

Self-care for me has a lot to do with intent. A good friend of mine calls most leisure activity “masturbating.” If all you’re doing is watching TV, scrolling feeds, playing games, etc, you’re technically being entertained, but you’re not really benefiting yourself in any way and you’re not truly engaged.

Alternatively, real self care is often meditative in some way. Something that you’re purposely doing to separate yourself from consumption and focus on your mental state. Even treating a morning routine seriously enough can count if you can work in planned time to meditate or similar.

I think it comes down to mindfulness. If it’s something you do without thinking, I don’t think it counts as self-care.

7-Zip can extract .rar just fine. It does not have a .cat extractor though.

I took a road less traveled and use studio monitors for my TV. You can get 4-5” options for around $200-250 and at that price, they pack a punch. I’ve since upgraded to HS-8s , which admittedly are much more expensive, but for most, are complete overkill.

Most things I watch are only stereo anyway and having used a 5.1 in the past, surround is ultimately novelty for me.

Wow. My list of reasons to continue not using Windows just gets longer by the day.

Guessing you kept the trailer out of frame. I’d imagine getting a boat that far up would be tough otherwise.

I’ll be going to see the Las Vegas GP. I’ve never been to a Formula 1 race and don’t know what to expect from the days surrounding the race. Are there any tips you wish you knew before going the first time? I plan on going to the full race weekend and not sure what to bring to make my stay more comfortable. Also, any tips on stops I should make in that area of Vegas while I’m there?
