Just fill your time by being the guy who replies “unfortunately this niche group of people I don’t belong to can’t use your advice” on every ask post reply. Some people really get a thrill out of it.
Like for instance if someone asks how they can stay hydrated and somebody replies water you could say “unfortunately some people don’t have access to clean water”, and then just let the upvotes roll in because it’s technically true. It’s going to make you feel worse in the short term because you’ll know what you’re doing, but you won’t recognize that right away or maybe ever so it’s probably a viable strategy for a month.
Name a time when people wanted to work. Did slave owners want to work?
Everybody’s like : we need to build more apartment complexes and duplexes. No, we need to outlaw landlords.
It was a lot easier to save money when you had to wait 6-8 weeks to get things.
I would encourage you to explore the true driving cause of why delayed gratification is rare today. I would hate to advertise my point to you in a way that could influence your findings so I’ll leave it at that.
Hey good for you, nobody should care they put ads in email because you have a temporary solution where you don’t see ads and Adblock gets your data.
Oh shit you didn’t know you were Adblock’s product. How do they know which ads to block for you? How do they know? Oh they block certain ad servers? But it’s not logged I’m sure. You checked.
Gmail has ads in it. They’re stealing your data and training their D-tier AI on your emails and still showing you ads and you just take it.
Fun fact: one of the ways government agencies cut costs is mandatory purchasing contracts with companies that use prison labor.
That’s why I only use brand. Nobody ever had a bad time with brand. Users of bad brand are dumb because they don’t use brand.
There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.
If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.
If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.
If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.
If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.
Thanks. I understand. Maybe in the future you will be successful getting into nature or maybe you will find something that is even better for you personally. I believe you’ll find what you need.
You need to toot your own horn until you can find someone who will toot it for you. Sometimes that means going above and beyond, but make sure the right people know what you did.
Nobody is going to give you what you don’t ask for.
Aligning action with these two things in mind will take you far.
Sometimes I can tell someone is having a shit day and I cheer them up by minding my own fucking business because that’s what works for me.
Connect with the natural world. Go find some woods where there aren’t a lot of people and just be alive in them.
Sometimes I find myself on my phone too much. I’ve found it useful to try to remember something I saw online a week ago. Frequently I cannot. This makes me upset at the time I am wasting.
I started disc golfing again last year and I play every weekend and it’s keeping me sane. It’s like walking in the woods with a purpose. I like to go before anyone else is playing in the morning. It must work because my wife encourages it and it means her watching our toddler alone for a couple hours.
You’ve been a teenager who can’t vote and also someone who went to the mall in the past with a same sex partner and got dirty looks from older conservatives within the last few months. You live in a city with rolling blackouts in America.
As a teenager below voting age you know groceries are a luxury now compared to the past. Everything leads back to third party voting with you, again a teenager below voting age who went to the mall with someone you were dating as a social activity.
You are really bad at trolling.
So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?
Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.
There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.
Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.
I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.
