  • Gotta be tough if you’re gonna be stupid

  • I just Google shit I’m interested and use Google News to find places to read about it

  • I save them up to make a broth for soups

  • Delicious but maybe chicken sausage instead of salmon if you're going to add meat.

  • ah nice. we include the backlog # in our branch name.

  • you are a pro and I aspire to be you

  • ah so you are the dev from 2014

  • This is the book I had in mind when I created this thread. :)

  • I try to support authors by buying on Kindle or a physical copy if I can. That being said, I don't think there is any way to combat piracy, and I think information is forever going to be free now. So I think the publishing world is going to have to catch up and evolve. Honestly if I were an author I would consider starting a Patreon.

  • I think that's a good way to get out of scrolling, but not a good way to become a part of a community. I think doing what you're doing is a good start, but also frequenting a few places (especially more niche communities) can also really help.

  • The way I see it, some communities will thrive and others will die. No need to worry about the mess in the process. For now during this early stage just post to all of them or pick one you like and stick with it.

  • Can you share a screenshot of what happens when you login with the new pass? That's certainly strange.

  • No worries, man! Should have clarified with /s. Cheers!

  • Fair enough! I was mostly joking. Those are some great tips.

  • 41 downvotes. I am arguing that it is a liability. What have I said that would suggest it isn’t?

  • A few things:

    1. Writing down five things I'm grateful for. Actually I was doing this every day earlier this year when I was depressed. Don't just bullshit it. Write down what you're looking forward to that day, or things that you are appreciating. It will encourage you to appreciate more, to slow the fuck down and live a peaceful life.
    2. Blogging/Journaling. I have been blogging on a wordpress blog but haven't shared the URL with anyone, not even my spouse. It's so helpful just to organize my thoughts and is helping me get in touch with my emotions instead of suppressing them.
    3. Two lists. I keep two lists that I refer to frequently. One is my to-do list, which I have organized in Notion. When I can see that I am getting shit done, and more importantly, I have a system for prioritizing what shit gets done, I feel better about my life. The other and arguably more important list is my anti-productivity list. My just for me list. My shit I like to do list. Take out the feelings of your parents, your partner, your friends. Be selfish for a damn minute. Write down the things that truly make you happy. And make sure you do something on that list at a minimum once a week.

    For me some of those things include:

    <List>

    1. Long showers during the spring time with the windows/doors open so a breeze can come in.
    2. Smoking a cigar in the bathtub with a glass of scotch.
    3. Watching Studio Ghibli movies.
    4. Watching my favorite movies in general. "Midnight In Paris", "Lady and the Tramp", "Lloyd's of London", "Jab Tak Hai Jaan".
    5. Going home to visit with my relatives.
    6. Chinese hot pot
    7. Going to the movie theater
    8. Creative writing like I did as a kid. No pressure to produce anything great. Just write and tap into that joyful creativity.
    9. Going to a craft beer brewery
    10. Getting a massage
    11. Playing MTG with my cousin and brother
    12. Playing Kingdom Hearts
    13. Cooking some comfort food
    14. A nice road trip with the windows rolled down and no destination in mind.

    1. Meditate. Look I'm not a crunchy person. But just focusing on box breathing / basic breath work at the end of every day has helped me tremendously. I think everyone should do it. It is physically proven that deep breathing done in the right way physically calms you down.
