- Comment on How does one learn or start to manage thair life better? 4 days ago:
A little more context would be helpful, but in general, I think Atomic Habits and Digital Minimalism remain two of the best books in this general vein.
- Comment on F dieting! 2 weeks ago:
Whether a diet is vegan or not has literally nothing to do with how healthy it is.
- Comment on life purpose 2 weeks ago:
My biggest pro was my social life vastly improving after switching to WFH. As a naturally introverted person, I burned all my social energy at the office and nights/weekends went into hermit mode. Now I’m sitting on my charger all day while I work and actually have the energy to see my friends.
- Comment on What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed? 3 weeks ago:
Not taking care of myself. I’ve felt so much better and more confident (and practically reversed type 2 diabetes) since I’ve maintained a consistent strength training routine and eaten healthier.

- Comment on Why should only guys get paid for donations? 4 weeks ago:
Wow, somehow we’ve combined AI and boomer humor for a new low.
- Comment on Got my pumpkin today. All ready for Halloween 5 weeks ago:
I should call her.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 5 weeks ago:
Not a word, but my favorite recent addition was when someone told me her husband, rather than flip people off in road rage situations, just looks at them and gives them a thumbs down gesture, and it makes them so much more mad. I’ve been doing it whenever I see Cybertrucks.

- Comment on Discord doesn't crop their emojis correctly 1 month ago:
What OS? Totally fine over here.
- Comment on How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I usually joke I’m too hipster for Reddit and use Lemmy when Reddit comes up, and nobody ever asks for more information. I feel like, at least in their current form, federated apps are too complicated/fussy for anyone who isn’t actively interested in moving away from centralized platforms.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 1 month ago:
I shave my head in the shower every couple of days. Trim my beard once a week.
- Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 1 month ago:
I have a Kindle and love it, but if you don’t want to go with Amazon, I think Kobos are a solid option! The current best models are the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour, but they both have cheaper models as well.
- Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 1 month ago:
I can’t recommend getting an e-reader more. It’s so much nicer than staring at a backlit screen for extended periods of time.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 month ago:
As someone in this camp, this is very accurate. I’m simply very selective about the amount of fucks I give at work, and save them for my personal life. It makes me a better worker on top of having better work/life balance.
- Comment on Always so loud 😒 2 months ago:
I’ll never be a dad, but I definitely inherited my dad’s sneeze.
- Comment on Well, shit. 2 months ago:
If you have the ability to do this on your first day, it’s 100% not your fault.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I thought I was 37 before the gal I’m seeing learned my bday and told me I’m 38. Then I turned 39 a couple of months later, so I aged 3 years in a few months. It’s just a number, and gray facial hair looks great.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 months ago:
Why even ask if you’re just going to deflect opinions you don’t like?
Hope you get some help, dude.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 months ago:
Your personality is the problem, not the fact that you’re on the spectrum. I know plenty of autistic people who are very pleasant to be around, even those who are heavily introverted. If you put negative energy out towards people, they’re going to give it back to you.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 months ago:
They don’t see introversion and solitude as self caring, but as depression, being an ass and being antisocial.
As an introverted person, I really don’t think this is true. I’m very open about being introverted and needing to leave when I need my battery is depleted or turning things down when I need solo time, and I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced a negative or rude reaction from it. You already sound pretty misanthropic; I’d wager the people you’re having negative interactions with are picking up on that rather than your introversion.
- Comment on Did a teenager actually just die from eating raw noodles? 2 months ago:
Given the only sources I see for this story are the Daily Mail and The Sun, I wouldn’t put too much stock into it quite yet.

Great costume of the first episode of Black Mirror.

I was going to say, if we’re talking old man we’ll need to flip the green circles.
