I guess I don’t follow. Are you saying that you give it a good jostle and it’s wet all day? Or are you literally talking about your hands?
As for me, I don’t have that sort of feeling personally. That doesn’t invalidate what you’ve got going on of course.

I looked for a better app, but honestly the Gboard built in was basically just as good as any other option I could find when it comes to accuracy.

Most of my nonfiction I do by audiobook while I walk in the morning. I find anything too strenuous and I can’t concentrate. I do take notes, primarily by voice into Google keep. Though I did recently switch to a git repo tied to the zettel notes app since that’s how I view my notes on android. Usually I process them out by the end of the week or so.
As far as good “hard books”, I could recommend Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen if you’re into a “how did we get here” story about the US, or A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins if you like thinking about how our minds work and have interest in AGI. The last hard one I read was the dawn of everything by David Graeber and I found it to be absolutely fucking terrible for as much as people talk him up, would not recommend. There are some good ideas in it, but stylistically it’s heavy on context and light direct points or logical threads.
Right now I’m mainlining dungeon crawler Carl and it’s pretty entertaining, but weird that I have 2 of 3 books in progress being easy fiction.

I always thought this comic was upvotes because the absurdity of it is funny, not because it’s a thing that people are actually anxious about and therefore relate to.
- Comment on This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee 3 days ago:
Everybody shows up to do something specific and keeps their eyes on the road. Unless you drop your pants to your ankles or you’re packing SERIOUS heat there’s nothing to see anyway unless you’re way out of your lane.
I find it MUCH weirder to take a dump in a “guest bathroom” that is a half bath with no fan or background noise and is next to the room where people are.
Also… unless it’s your first time with a wang, I am perplexed by why you would need toilet paper. Presuming you wash your body regularly and you wash your hands when you’re done it’s not like you’re dipping your fingers in the stream or putting it away wet.

He is mad because his toilet is hooked up to a dryer vent and she’s furious because, for some reason, her toilet uses electricity instead of water. Both sound like smelly affairs.

- Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small? 2 weeks ago:
While I agree with you, I feel like the more effective way to reduce risk on the road is to take the implications here all the way to their logical conclusions. Some people ARE a little slower, a little less reactive, more likely to take risks, or less capable behind the wheel.
It seems to me that the testing process to pilot a personal road missile ought to take a page from this and be more frequent and more strict.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yep. Same. It’s not that big of a deal, and it doesn’t even matter that you can go see what I downvoted.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Does it matter if people know publicly that you downvoted something? I feel like if I’m going to downvote I don’t need to hide it, but then maybe I’ve just got a confrontational streak sometimes.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Idk sometimes I’m reading a long a deep thread and someone who was arguing in good faith starts acting like a petulant toolbag. I will give downvotes then when they are 1-0, but I always kind of worry in the back of my mind that whoever I gave a downvote to will just think it’s the other guy. Other people read deeper on threads than you would think.

Go reread. I never called anyone “dumb as shit”, just the comments. Rude? Sure I’ll own that.
I’m pretty sure you left more comments than one on what I wrote. Your commentary sure has the feel of “pretty worked up” but I won’t pretend to be a psychologist and tell you it’s a sign of mental illness: that’s a thing that’s reserved for real assholes on the Internet.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 4 weeks ago:
I had a few bourbons last night and over-commented to be sure. Mea culpa. I spent quite a lot of time learning to make clear ice and I had to navigate all of this BS to get to the easy solution.
As a critique of your comment, I didn’t resort to ad hominem I was talking about the comments themselves.
At the same time, there’s a little bit of pot and kettle action going on here which is not lost on me.
Have a great day.
