This for sure! I never understood the power of a 401k being a tax shelter and the power of employer matching. Do as much as you can, even if it's 50$ a paycheck. It's best of you can put in as much as the employer will match.

What is a/s/l?

Idk if part of the unpleasantness is due to waking suddenly, but if it is consider different alarms like maybe music, an alarm that gradually gets louder, a quiet alarm, or a vibrating alarm. Some have also mentioned alarms with lights that gradually get brighter.

I grew up with one of those cheap ass, plug in, buzzing alarms with the little peg you push in on the back and I still jump and freak out when I hear that sound.

P pl w, et tzdl

Once upon a time I did research out of these big sets of books called encyclopedias.

The first thing comes to mind is thinking about all the spam that goes to my email and imagining all of it trying to bot IM me.

I had an issue with those spam emails somehow adding shit to my calendar for my email. I think it mostly got fixed but that stopped me from using my calendar anymore real quick.

Things like gift bags, disposible table cloths, tableware.... Get all that at the dollar store.

Yeah I've heard that too. I've seen it a few times as well.

Personally, I try not to cheap out on anything I want to last. You don't have to buy the most expensive, but don't buy the cheapest either. Something in the middle usually does good.

I've done well buying second hand too. I recently found a bread machine for 3$ at goodwill. Works perfectly. But I also figured if I decided not to use it anymore or it was crap, then I lost 3$

Agreeing with others. Enjoy being alone, enjoy having fun what you want to do, and masturbate. Life has a funny way of working out when you stop giving a fuck and focus on enjoying life.

I always hated groups who were like "we need a fighter, a rogue, and a wizard!" If you have half a brain and some creativity you can find ways around just about any situation. A good DM will also work with a party and not throw them into an impossible dungeon with a million expert locks with the insistance of," you should have brought a rogue!" or "you should have brought a wizard to identify this magical thing!"

I never understood integrals either! I don't know if we covered it in a math class in high school but I got to college and took physics and encountered it. I was like "What in the fuck is this shit?!" I take that back. I think I did encounter it briefly in high school physics but the teacher was like, "don't worry if you don't get it right now, you'll figure it out." My fucking ass! That was college physics from like week 2!!!!

I tried to figure it out from the text book and that didn't work. I went and bought a math book to try to figure it out, that obviously didn't work. This was before YouTube and the internet getting big on any kind of instruction so it was just like," well fuck me I guess I'll fail."

What I should have done was gone to the teacher for help. They always said their hours when they were open but I never thought they would have time for me. I know better now. They would have been happy to help me but ignorance and probably low self esteem and all.

Still don't understand that integral shit. I eventually went back to school but become an English major instead of that shit.

Putting the work in.

When the hell did they start doing this?

Couple of thoughts that come to mind that might help. I've done a few long haul trips and it's daunting. It never helps to buy a US road atlas for like 20$ at Walmart. Take a highlighter and mark whatever route you find in Google on it. There are a few places where there isn't cell service on the interstate but it's pretty rare now. This will give you a backup but it also forces you to look at your route. Look at the different cities and note how big they are. Get a general idea of how far apart they are. My thought on this is most vehicles you can get 300 miles to the tank. This will kinda help you plan out approximately where you'll need to stop and gas up. You can also look at your map and see if you're good for x more miles or if you stop at this gas station you're passing.

The other thing is plan on stopping every couple of hours. Get out, walk a few, go pee, buy a snack or pull one out of the cooler. A lot of the rest stops along the interstate are pretty decent but don't expect hot food in most states. You'll probably find vending machines at most of them.

Yeah I wouldn't trust it, you can get USB hubs for fairly cheap. I just googled and saw one for 10$-12$ from Anker.

Less anxiety. For a bit there I felt like "nothing" and then I realized that's what it feels like when I'm not constantly ruminating on all the crap that brings me anxiety.

I forgot all about those old cat wall clocks.

Just start, worry about the details later.

I remember I picked Lemmy.world to create an account only because I had no idea what I was doing and it seemed like the only one which had merit at the time (I know how things work better now.) Now that I know how decentralization works I'll probably open a new account on another server when I get time.
