I've been in 5 for a while, but last week I made the 5 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 7 journey. My body and brain are playing this funny game where they're like "I'm too tired for that, let's not do it" and 50% of the time they're wrong and I'm feeling happy and the other 50% they were right and I crash out and suffer for the rest of the day.

Just boys being boys :3

I'll only buy something perishable when I need it. I tend to cook for 3-4 days in one go in order to make cooking for only myself somewhat economical. I tend to visit the supermarket every other day so I don't really have to plan too much.

Yup same. And many like it. Good to know that this experience is shared lol. All the stalls will probably either be empty, locked, or have something fucked up in it.

Same here it's so frustrating. It's usually when I actually have to pee. Would be cool if I could just wake up to actually go to the bathroom instead of going through this while show. Luckily the brain is at least smart enough to not mix up the dream with reality

I wondered this for a long while, but I've realized that I'm in a pretty privileged position. Where I live (the Netherlands) the tap water is not only drinkable, it's actually almost indistinguishable from mineral water. Certainly for me at least. I'm not much of a traveller, but when I was in Oostende in Belgium I remember the tap water was absolutely vile. It was (or at least tasted like) desalinated seawater. Instead of hydrating and refreshing it tasted stale and salty. If that was the only water I knew I probably would be drinking more refreshing stuff like ice tea or cola all day as well. When I got back to the Netherlands my first glass of tap water tasted like heaven.

The assumption that "the nazis" are responsible seeding these right-wing extremists like Trump is imo very naïve. These people have always existed, in every culture. Now that the time is "right" they've appeared again. The nazis were this group of people, but in Italy they were the fascists, and prior to WWII these kind of movements where growing everywhere. Economic hardship seems to drive people to the political extremes, and the far right preys on those people.

For generations since the second world war we've said "never forget", and yet we've seemed to have forgotten. With almost no survivors left, every political grouping seems to have their own "memory" of WWII. And so the cycle of hate seems to have started another dark chapter.

Autism: "I need structure and planning in order to function" ADHD: "Yeah okay let's bring some structure and... wait did we respond to that message from yesterday? Oh look we still need to wash the dishes, let's grab... oh what's this plate doing here, let's put it back. Wait what were we doing again?"

Not sure what the theory is called. I tend to be nice to the AI assistant because my brain feels empathy for anything and will be angry if I'm not nice. If I can feel empathic for a slightly scuffed apple in the supermarket, I'll definitely feel empathic for an advanced auto-correct. The LLMs also seem so happy to help and even happier to get praised.

Also not too bad that it costs them more money so this crazy "AI" bubble can pop just a bit faster

After mono and COVID I kinda feel like my body just got stuck in the "everyone goes" stage tbh. Either that or it decided that this shit was above its pay grade and it is just doing the least amount of effort possible

For real. A voice note means I'll wait for half a day before I'll have a chance to listen without annoying someone, with a 50% chance of me accidentally clicking on the notification and forgetting it's there. It's the worst of both worlds: not as instant as a call and not as easy as text.

Okay but this is a meme. The guy in the picture is Fernando Alonso, a Formula 1 driver.
