My partner just kinda gnaws on my upper arm. Straight up asked her to stop early days of us dating and she said something along the lines of "but that's how I show I love you" and just kept at it.
10 plus years later it's a wonder my arms haven't callused over. Love that weirdo
Mountains where I can see clouds rolling gently over peaks and trees. No matter how often I see it I'm always filled with an overwhelming sense of peace and awe
I posted this somewhere else but I struggled into adulthood with analog clocks and learning to read them changed my relationship with time. I forced myself to learn to do it because I read about how it can improve time management skills. Now even my smart watch has an analog watch face, and one that puts my daily schedule onto the clock itself even.
Being able to read the hands and their movement kind of give a better sense of the units and movement of time itself. Totally recommend learning to properly read analog time.
I get that can help some people if coffee is part of your morning ritual. I never did coffee as a first first thing, setting it up the machine and then going about getting ready was always how I've done it. But I totally get, if you need it first thing a timer is great.
In my life personally, still can't think of any appliance off the top of my head that needs to know what time it is.
Fair. I know I'm in the minority of people who feels they need a watch and constantly checks it, so anything other than the device on my wrist is just extra. Since I was a kid I've felt lost if I wasn't wearing one.
I doubt they had any real way of knowing who they were working for. From a previous article I can't fully remember, I was under the impression some of these people didn't even know what they were supposed to be doing until day of. There were so many articles about how much of a shitshow the whole thing was I'm losing track.
Edit: apparently it's stated in this article too.
Only upon her arrival in Michigan did Muldrow realize what this job would really entail: canvassing for Trump.
The clock on the wall and watch, yeah, I actually use those for time. Everything else is more like, lol wtf does my coffee machine need the correct time for anyway
In the same boat here, buying a TicWatch 3 was a waste of money... In the end, a cheap Mi Band does what I expect of a smart watch better than the premium priced TicWatch. All I really need is reliable notifications and Mobvoi can't even deliver that.
I'm staying well away from anything Mobvoi and I recommend everyone else do the same. Good hardware held back by awful software.
I have family in China, I have family in the US, and I live in neither. Your average person just goes about their lives no matter where. You can be a political activist and go about your business in the US but you can't in China (and some other countries I've spent a few years in). Where I'm at, I can get spinal laser surgery and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and well, US healthcare is memed the world over. Different countries, different worries.
Governments and politics is one thing, but getting by as average people, I feel we all just do our best no matter where we are.
As a former gacha addict I totally agree. Nowadays when I get the urge to play on my phone I've been doing Open Sudoku, Fruity Game or Ricochlime. They don't scratch that same itch quite right but I'm definitely wasting less of my time and money.
"It's time to shout loudly that we won't allow Piraeus port to become a war springboard," read their statement uploaded on Facebook. "We fight for peace...no to Greece's participation in the war!"
Pictures uploaded later on the same Facebook page showed people carrying flares and slogans sprayed on a truck that read: "Murderers, get out of the port".
Been at my new better job for a couple months now and it's been AMAZING! Hope you're journey is the same if not better!
