  Eh you’re right, they would monetize the shit out of it and make it pay to win like everything else.

  I wonder if there is a fragment of a good idea in there. Maybe a dating app that like queues up men and doesn’t let the next one out of the queue until the active person gets matched to someone.

  Though that sounds pretty slow and not enough dopamine in using the app to keep people on it.

  Maybe not a single man, but some small amount so it is known that you can’t just screen for the 1% of dream guys. Like it you only get 5 swipes, maybe you won’t be as ready to dismiss everyone immediately.

  Whatever, I’m sure there are teams of psychologists working for all those companies that have all this crap dialed in for max profit and engagement.

  That’s just self sabotage talking. Knowing about a problem is step one and it’s what gets you in the door.

  Just because you know you’ve got a broken pipe doesn’t mean you don’t need a plumber, just because you know your car is broken doesn’t mean you don’t need a mechanic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with someone helping you being a job. That doesn’t mean they won’t do that job.

  The main point of therapy is to get you to look at your circumstances in different ways and provide you with coping skills you may not necessarily have developed. You may even be unaware of whatever current maladaptive coping mechanisms you’ve built up over years of just trying to survive. This is where outside professional perspective comes in handy.

  However! That’s not to say therapy is a bulletproof process or that all therapists are good or that every therapist is a good fit for every person. I would liken it to finding your preferred barber or massage therapist or something. Sometimes you just got to try options till something works.

  Could be both! But yeah, I think humans are curious by nature and need to exercise their problem solving muscles, regardless of what topic of interest. An engineer will be solving problems using math and physics, but a musician or a poet will have their own problems to be solved in their respective areas using the tools of their crafts.

  Life’s a hell of a trip man. I was 34 before getting diagnosed with ADHD, which made my entire life suddenly made sense. Oh, turns out I have narcolepsy too, and I’ve been punished for my sleep patterns and issues my entire childhood. Who knew narcolepsy isn’t necessarily how it’s portrayed in movies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the highest I’ve heard someone claim their share price based on actual profitablity was around $100 or so, which is still far lower than current.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you know what the value should be considering it’s PE and whatnot? And whatever that is, is going to take a dive once the sales impacts are fully felt in the coming quarters. International sales are going to evaporate. Domestic probably as well. Prices going to increase from tariffs and supply chain issues. And competitors are making them look amateur in terms of build quality. Oh and Cyber Truck.

  Quirk - a peculiar behavioral habit.

  Ehh, I’d say it’s probably a poor fit for pedophilia. Maybe the actual act of sleeping with children could be considered a “quirk” but as a sexuality probably not.

  But if you’re talking about a My Hero Academia reference, then it’s the shittiest ability I’ve heard of!

  Hmm, we’ve lost our philosophical heart. Interesting. I feel like I knew this in my gut but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I like the way you phrased this, I’ll have to remember it.

  I’m bearish on TSLA, but still saw there’s some controversy surrounding his testing methodology and shortcomings in that video. Was talked about a bit on Philip DeFranco.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 33 cents a small amount of money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I too have ADHD and am impatient. Impatience is not an excuse for financial illiteracy. And a graduated income tax is not complicated. Deductions, credits, exceptions, etc are where it gets complicated. But if he thinks he’s losing money by making more money, then he’s stupid.

  Your partner is a moron who doesn’t understand relatively simple math.

  Let him manage his own sleep. You know, I was punished my whole life growing up for having erratic sleep patterns. Turns out I likely have narcolepsy and need to get tested. I’m fucking 38.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex ending support for Watch Together⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like use whatever works best at the time and switch as needed. Plex worked well for me for many years. But now it looks like the alternatives have caught up or beat it. That doesn’t mean the years I’ve enjoyed it are somehow erased.

  Plenty of people do everything wrong all the time. Hungry is hungry and people aren’t going to necessarily change they eating habits if they worked up an appetite biking. They may even eat poorly specifically because they feel they earned it because they exercised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good idea, thanks for that! I really need to do that more often. I do it sometimes, but still keep forgetting I have that handy. Took me a while to remember I had Google in my pocket when smart phones came out too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason I didn’t discount it entirely was I recently saw a Townsend’s episode on Pemmican and it discussed how the proliferation of that calorie dense food did literally fuel the manpower for entire industries whose productivity can be traced to Pemmican. But that’s old times and I’m sure diet no longer conforms to that reality.

  This can sound really deep, but it works for shallow too. I’m sorry girl, but the whore market is saturated and very competitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well the meat industry is a large source of emissions isn’t it? So if our meat consumption increased due to increased caloric intake, that should have a carbon impact right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, I never knew that was an argument for ebikes, but as you say, if they never break even it’s a moot point. Unless… Perhaps having the ebikes promoted more cycling over driving, then perhaps it changes it enough.
