Some people function better when things are organized and orderly, some function better when things are disorganized and in disarray, some function the same either way.
It is what it is. An orderly, organized bedroom feels great to sleep in to me, and might not matter at all to someone else.
Whatever the case, anyone judging me because my bed is either made or not made can fuck right off.
This is great advice for signing up for streaming services, and very, very bad advice for a gym membership.
They absolutely will send your delinquent gym membership account to collections and it will wind up on your credit report. It's part of their business plan.
You'd have to sign up with a false identity, which is technically fraud.
I was really hoping this would go into effect so I could sign up for a gym membership. I'll never sign up with a gym again...Their cancellation processes are offensive and predatory.
The "click-to-cancel" rule would force gyms to allow you to cancel your gym membership as easily as you signed up for it.
For some reason these businesses are against losing the free money they get for making it hard to cancel subscriptions.
To be fair, you have a 1 in 95 chance of dying in an automobile accident.
Based on modern safety standards for everything else, that's unacceptable.
If I offered you a job and said you have a 1 in 95 chance of dying from working this job, you would refuse. The most dangerous job in the USA is logging, with about a 1 in 1000 chance of dying. More lumberjacks die driving home than die working their extremely dangerous job.
Not only should we have self-driving flying taxis by now, but we should also at least have level 5 self-driving cars so people aren't constantly dying driving to get groceries or pick up their kids.
I'd really like to at least see humanity fully switch to clean energy in my lifetime but I'm losing hope.
I should already be able to take a self-driving flying taxi to work. I should already be able to vacation on the moon. We shouldn't be burning stuff to power all our modern tech.
I grew up on 80s/90s scifi. I hope humanity can get it's shit together and that the current anti-intellectualism phase we're in is just part of a larger cycle.
As a working class adult you have to start applying time management skills to your life or you'll be overwhelmed.
One of those skills is budgeting time for recreation and hobbies. If something is important to you, put that time on your calendar.
I have teenage kids and a busy life. We plan for game nights on the PC, usually Tuesday and then one other night during the week as long as there's no sportsball practices or whatnot.
Unfortunately the old "I'm bored, time for gaming" won't work anymore. You have to assign value to your activities. Doing nothing on the couch can be an activity, gaming can be an activity, doing the dishes can be an activity. If you don't assign values to activities and schedule them then you'll get overwhelmed because you won't have time to do anything.
When you realize that your parents also wanted to eat cookies and Ruffles all the time too, but they didn't want to die early and are just making you eat healthy so you don't die early.
Definitely. I think imposter syndrome is basically the same phenomenon.
I used to think there was this Council of Smart People running the world and keeping the nuclear weapons from accidentally launching and the planes from crashing and the electricity on and the bridges from collapsing.
It can't just be me and all the absolute idiots I grew up with now running the world. That can't be right. Oh, Jesus...oh no.
That "adults" are just kids that got older. Same goes for "old people". Everyone was once a 14 year old. There is no dividing line where you suddenly become an adult, and there is no dividing line between being an adult and being old.
We're all born, and we live a life of days, months years, decades... it's just you and your one, single life. You're always going to be you.
Make this one life count. Don't wait. Don't procrastinate. Make shit happen. You'll regret it if you don't.
PCs and all devices will become more locked down, with a small rebellious minority. Pretty much what we have today, but the divide will become greater.
All consumer devices are designed for the consumer to consume content. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Web Sites, Social Media, Video Games...all of it. Very, very few people at the consumer level use computing power to perform complex calculations or process large datasets.
All of that content is someone else's creation, and they want to get paid for their creation. Either by you directly purchasing/subscribing to what they've created, or via advertisers. Everyone has rent or a mortgage and bills to pay and they want to buy food and buy stuff for their kids.
Any time you sit in front of a screen, whether it's a TV or a PC or a smartphone and begin to consume content, think about that. Whoever created what you're looking at wants money, just like you want money.
So when a PC isn't locked down to make sure you're somehow paying for the content you consume, that upsets the entire supply chain that is delivering this content to your eyes and ears. They have to make sure they're somehow getting paid...
