  Then your real problem is you don’t have an effective way to set and measure goals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes bikes⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sarcastic. It would be such a relief.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes bikes⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But at least you can get taxis. The car-free utopia leaves out a lot of people like disabled and elderly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes bikes⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t it be great if we could each have our own private pods?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My Kindle Touch has a night mode with blue light inhibitor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What could be wrong with me?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with everything you said except the idea that I was being dismissive. It’s terribly concerning, especially if the symptoms have arisen recently. Because it often takes a long time to arrive at a proper diagnosis, it’s important to start down that path at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What could be wrong with me?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this feels new rather than something you’ve always dealt with, please get evaluated by a doctor right away. Nobody on Lemmy can diagnose you over the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just today I was searching for a news article about a local radio personality who got fired in the last few days. Zero results. Just extraneous garbage. I was stunned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers fear the British spoken 'r' is ready to roll away from the last bastion of rhoticity⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except when the next word starts with a vowel. Then they add extraneous “r” sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There seems to be a shortage of critical thinking and problem solving skills, that’s for sure.

  What I see that makes it worse now than in the past is the Internet. It’s easy now to find a group that agrees with your delusions and live in an echo chamber where mistaken beliefs are not challenged.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Andre Braugher, ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and ‘Homicide: Life on the Street’ Star, Dies at 61⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Absolutely not. I will not allow it. Damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This toilet paper at my work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So … don’t you need paper to dry off? How do you keep from spraying water everywhere and getting your clothes wet? Forgive my cluelessness, but I’ve often wondered how it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This toilet paper at my work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, and if you folded it, the little pointy edges would lacerate your tender bits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assuming the earth is flat, how many people are part of the conspiracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And the ISS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  One big reason I don’t like to subscribe to things is that you never really know how easy or difficult it will be to cancel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you take the lint from your dryer and make clothing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lint makes a great firestarter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am learning Swahili and it’s Mmarekani which I bungle the spelling of constantly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AITA for doing a GoFundMe? (Details within.)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask yourself, if the roles were reversed would you judge a friend harshly for asking for help? Of course not. Do what you need to do to survive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people jokingly call it KOTOR3 since you can solo most of the story. There’s a lot of f2p content if you want to give it a try. swtor.com

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am talking about the MMORPG but I liked KOTOR as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Still obsessed with Star Wars: The Old Republic after all these years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing Star Wars: The Old Republic MMORPG on the PC since its inception more than a decade ago and I am still loving it. It’s playable as a solo game (I rarely group up for anything) and there are 8 different character classes, each with their own unique story and missions. It’s very much a typical Bioware product. So YMMV I guess.
