Eh, I agree with the OP, but Memento isn't comparable to the sort of thing they're complaining about. Memento is a story told backwards to mess with your perception of the story. The "flashbacks" (flashforwards) are a lazy trope to either try to suck you into the story by giving you the cool part near the climax as the front of the movie or some emotional manipulation crap. The "I bet you're wondering how I got here" variant is the absolute worst tho...

Sure, though it isn't super exciting. The assistant store manager, Lucio (fuck you Lucio, you fucking piece of shit) was an illegal immigrant who managed to fake his way through the verification steps, and INS showed up one day and vanned him while I was away going to college.

I wasn't sad to see that fucker go, because he had a number of Mexican kids that he let do whatever they wanted, including Edgar who sexually harassed multiple girls out of the store and Lucio wouldn't do shit because "why would I fire him when we're already losing one employee". Never mind that wed already lost 4 girls at that point and one of them was pregnant at the time. I'm honestly surprised he and I never came to blows because I didn't hide that I fucking hate him.

Most legible

Most is doing a ton of heavy lifting there.

My manager didn't honor the employee discount after I was gone, either.

They never do. I had a manager try that shit on me when I was working food service, and I turned it around on him and made him get one of his toadies to clean it up after talking a bunch about "not being trained for biohazard cleanup" and "OSHA regs" which got him to back down, and I told all my coworkers the same so they'd tell him to fuck off too.

Still wish I could have been there when the feds showed up and escorted him out of the building.

Well of course, it's their god given right to do with their ~~property~~ children as they see fit.

Oh fuck yes. Only problem is remembering to add/update events. And with three adhd af people working off of a shared calendar.... Well, I'm just surprised we don't double book more often.

See, this is where shit like Amdroid comes in handy. Among the challenge (dismiss your alarm) options, they have NFC and QR/barcode as options. So you can force yourself to not be lazy by creating a tag, barcode or QR code that lives next to the thing you need to do by having to scan your verification to be able to shut your phone up.

I don't really have much advice on making you accountable to yourself, but the little things like this help force you to adult and not fuck up as much. Only thing that worked for me was to give myself a ton of anxiety so that overcoming my laziness/forgetfulness to prevent me from feeling the crippling anxiety from not getting shit done. 2/10, don't recommend.

I've seen it happen so many times where I'm doing +5 in the middle lane, the left lane is doing +10, and some psycho is playing slalom because they want to go +25.

I'm with OP and revel when those sorts get stuck in a lane behind Gramma on her way to church.

As much as I'd love to chat and give you more advice, I'm loathe to give out my discord publicly (been an issue in the past). It doesn't look like I can PM you, so if you want to send me yours, that's cool, otherwise we can chat here if you have more questions.

If you're on Android, I
Amdroid is great. Combination alarm clock/countdown timer, let's you save many different countdowns/alarms with names and alerting styles.

I use it all the time to make sure I don't forget shit. Washer and dryer each have a countdown for the length they run, along with dishwasher for the same reason.

I also use LifeUp to gamify my task list to help ensure I (generally) remember to do my daily/weekly tasks.

Shrinking? They've said from the start that a ceasefire isn't even on the table. They're going to do their genocide and kill or displace all of Palestine, and they're not being quiet about it.

Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.

The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.

Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn't map to the real scarcity of physical goods.
