I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t even use YouTube anymore. I might go there once a month to watch a tute, but only if I absolutely can’t find help from any other website.

Yeah I truly hope petitions work but everything I’ve ever signed hasn’t done shit. I think petitions are just a way of letting us think we have a voice.

- Comment on People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why? 9 months ago:
New research is suggesting caffeine’s stimulant effects are caused by the placebo effect anyway. The idea of decaf is kind of void if true.
- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 9 months ago:
I can offer you a very small example of a difference in thinking that I experience.
I’m a grown ass man and I can’t easily tell my left from right. The best example of this is when I’m gaming and the tutorial tells me to press ‘left thumb stick’, I usually fuck it up. It took me a long time and a lot of thinking on it to realise what was going on. For me, left and right is not instinctive like up or down, but rather, it’s either a feeling, or not a feeling.
The reason for this is because when I was 5 I nearly lost my left index finger in an accident. It was reattached, but during the healing process I was constantly told my left finger was the one I hurt, so I conditioned myself to attribute left to pain.
So now, when I have to choose left or right, my brain has to remember an injury and where it was, then kind of feel that injury to know if a( yes, I feel it so that’s left, or b) I feel nothing so that’s right.
And that delay is why I fuck up left or right because when I’m forced to make a quick decision like ‘press left bumper’ or ‘make a right turn here’, it’s not instinctive and I don’t have the time to process the memory of the injury and then the feeling, so I guess.

I tend to tell the difference by which one I will see later vs. which one I will see in a while.

Blocking a handful of something hasn’t worked for me. I must have blocked about 100 anime porn sites and I still get a dozen every day in my ALL feed.
Even when I sort HOT, they still come up constantly with no comments and no upvotes.

Ahh, fair. I got some WW1 and WW2 details mixed up. I’ll edit so I’m not feeding false info.
- Comment on What is the Israel thing going on? 1 year ago:
How long do you have? Here’s the very brief summary, and full disclaimer, I don’t have dog in this race.
-
Jerusalem is an important place for both Jews and Muslims.
-
They’ve been fighting over this space for two millenia. The Roman’s had it for a long time (Christian), the Ottomans had it for a long time (Islamic).
-
After WW1 and the Ottomans were defeated, it passed onto the Turkish (Islamic).
-
After WW2 the Turkish were defeated and they lost it. In the same war the surviving Jews were displaced worldwide and had no country to live, so the League of Nations (U.S, Britain, Canada, France mainly) decided to give Jews a new home and call this new place the State of Israel. They put Israel right in the middle of the British controlled Palestine, which no Islamic nation could object to because they were all defeated in war.
-
Since then, Jews call Israel their home country. Surrounding Islamic countries don’t recognise Israel and want the Jews to leave.
-
Islamic nations including Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, Syria have all gone to war with Israel to kick the Jews out. They’ve all lost because Israel is militarily back by world powers. Israel is now a military powerhouse and have full control of the region.
-
Israel allow Muslim Palestinians small areas to live in the area, namely Gaza and the West Bank, but they’re not particularity nice to the Muslims living there. This is the Palestinian/Israeli war that’s been going on for almost a century.
-
This space is now two main religions crammed into a very small space. Both claim that it’s their ancestral land. Islamic nations don’t recognise Israel as a country. Most of the rest of the world does.
-
Israel has become a defensive fortress with nukes, and is surrounded by five countries that hate it. No Islamic national is strong enough to beat Israel. Skirmishes and shit fighting continues. Sometimes is gets serious. This week it got really serious.
-
This fight will probably go on forever because of the religious significance of Jerusalem which neither the Israelis or Palestinians will ever give up claim to.
-
So who’s right and who’s wrong? Probably neither. Probably both. Probably humans are just shit.

I attribute my loss of interest in things to social media. My attention span is just cooked.
I’m not depressed. I still deeply want to do the things I love - guitar and gaming are two interests of mine too. I just can’t stay with either for more than 5 minutes without being bored.
And yes, being perpetually tired is your new adult reality. I negate tiredness by hitting the gym for an hour each day. One hour of working out = 5 to 6 hours of unbridled energy for the day regardless of commitment. As I get older though, I get diminishing returns on this as the week goes on.
I also think it’s semi-natural to get more bored and tired as you get older. Technically, we’re supposed to grow up, breed, take care of kids, and die. That’s our deal. No where in there are we supposed to have room for a career, two hobbies, 10 close friendships, annual overseas trips, and weekends partying. Just my two cents in this area. Not a scientist.
