  • I wonder why glass back is so popular,

    They are being hyped up by marketing because people easily fall for it. Even you:

    Then I bought my $800 glass back Xiaomi 13T Pro in January

    It works the same as with cigarettes: people think it's cool. Most don't care about the rest. Easy money for the suppliers.

    Good for you for calling them out on their bullshit. Anyone else with a history of dropping their phones from their pockets (and yet buying a flashy glass back (and refusing to protect it with a case (and referring to it as a condom))) will benefit from reading about your awakening and they might go for something different.

    Just remember, if you fell for this one, you might fall for another marketing gimmick unless you pay more attention.

  • The way I see it, that guy has strong vibes of someone who hangs around places where he's being told he is worthless unless he dominates a woman into becoming his servant.

    The fact that he has had that idea for at least 2 years without any success shows he doesn't have what it takes to lead that kind of operation.

    The fact that he keeps coming back to you, even though you don't share his religious views, shows he is led by his impulses more than by the values he has been told to embrace.

    He will probably be running in a circle like that until he finally finds short-term contentment dating an AI chatbot.

    Good for you that you are moving away.

    Your message shows you can look clearly at the situation. You can gain a lot by discussing this with a counselor, a therapist or a life coach.

  • I also use Boost because of one nice feature: it highlights new comments in a different color.

    I had to turn that feature on in the settings, and it's very convenient when revisiting an active post.

  • I was wondering the same thing and then I found Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon.

    So the answer is yes, my perfect album exists.

    And then I found Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, and I realized two perfect albums exist for me, so far

  • For several years, I wasn't getting enough sleep (too busy, like most people).

    During the COVID years, I was able to sleep 8 hours a day. After a few months of that, I had already noticed my memory improved a lot.

    Now it's been years and I can recall various random things in much higher resolution levels than before (faces details, conversations details, chess patterns, second language rules, my own ideas, etc.).

    So much so that I have now made it a top priority to get my 8 hours of sleep every day, because I now remember how much of a time saver it ends up being.

  • You got good replies already, so here is a related lifehack: set a timer to sound an alarm every hour during your sitting time, and when it rings, always go for a 10 minute walk/stretching session.

    Bring your phone and headset if you are too busy and keep working if you have to, but make that physical activity a top priority.

  • The way I see it, to understand what would happen to us if aliens with more advanced technology came to Earth,, we can simply read history books about the various waves of Europeans coming to the Americas a few centuries ago.

    (Heads-up: we would be playing the parts of the various native societies)
