  • Haha it's the same for me with my ADHD. I have way too many hobbies and some of them are very expensive (e.g., woodworking and coffee). I found that it's not that I lose interest in my hobbies, it's just that as time goes on, it becomes harder to ignore inconveniences in hobbies. If I try to fix those inconveniences as much as possible and keep learning new things, I don't really lose interest. E.g., with my current espresso basket, the fit is so poor that knocking the puck out also knocks out the basket. This minor inconvenience could lead me to quit making espresso unless I just simply get a new basket.

  • It definitely could have changed things signicantly. There's a lot of research out there for correlations between learning music instruments at a young age and brain development. Your life could have gone in a completely different direction as a result of learning an instrument.

  • The problem is first getting past the hurdle of defining what mind is and how consciousness works. Hell, we still don't know much about our brain at all. Most of our mental health medications were found as a result of unexpected side effects. The brain is too complex and risky for us to understand easily, and to go into the metaphysical world of consciousness would be even more challenging. I am more interested in the consciousness uploading part of possibilities. This will 100% be abused by corporations, but in theory, you could be "alive" in virtual worlds even after the death of your physical body. We could be in one right now and not be aware of it. Once we come to a conclusion on the philosophical questions, we can then look into the physical and psychological.

  • Although I don't have one that's smart, I have researched enough into electric toothbrushes to know that this title is exaggerating. The app is just to store your brushing information. People like tracking data about themselves as it helps with positive reinforcement. The app just allows you to see your analytics much like an app to count your steps or activity levels. It in no way "disables" your brushing experience.

  • But you have to accept the pairing in the first place. Bluetooth doesn't work without a handshake between devices. If you never use the Bluetooth feature in their app, you don't have to worry about it. Also apparently these machines have been out since 2018...

  • Although I haven't played a lot of gam es you play, at least not enough to have a discussion, I upvote every time out of sheer admiration for your dedication to post every day. Most days I have to remind myself multiple times to brush my teeth.
