I get it, I find shopping extremely overwhelming, I can never find what I need, and not much fits. This is also why I use mostly thrift stores or online stores. But it sucks when you need something that won't ship in time, I'm just lucky I haven't needed specific clothes on short notice.
My partner has needed a couple of good t-shirts since his are either threadbare or shrunk, and you would think this is an easy request. Even the online stores only had things with a terrible fit and bad fabric.
For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I'm also passively seeding more.
I agree with most of that. In formal settings, I prefer full sentences with conjunctions; however, choppy sentences are the ones that often end up in my Lemmy comments.
Yes, I tend to do that, and thankfully some of my colleagues do too. Clever but readable solutions, following good and relevant practices, clear documentation, making a good MR description that makes it easier to review, and more.
I honestly wish we had a steam controller that was more like the deck. I could never really get used to the Steam controller while I love using the deck. Can't really put my finger on what it is about it though.
The website also put me off, I only kept at it because my partner was already using it and it looked solid enough. I even asked "Are you sure this is the logseq? It looks so...idk Marketing?"
But so far I just seem to use it a lot, and the more I use it the more useful I find it, especially after learning how to add tags (didn't seem particularly obvious in the docs), and after finally getting into the flow of using Syncthing.
Logseq is the only note taking system that has clicked with me, by lowering the mental overhead at the time of adding notes. I just throw it in there without any considerations while still feeling like it's not going to get lost. Later I may revisit the day's journal and add tags or connect other information, move a block into its own page, etc.
I understand, while I live in Sweden, I didn't grow up here. I wish I could convince people back in my home country that reducing cars is a worthwhile goal, and certainly better people than me have tried. I'm not arguing for you to simply bike and take the risks, I didn't and I wouldn't.
Reducing car reliance would be a big project even if everyone agreed. I don't take it for granted here. Even in Sweden we're also facing risks of reduced public transportation and favoring cars, and that worries me. It's like finding a little piece of a well working system and watching it become underappreciated and potentially destroyed.
When I bike here (Somewhere in Sweden) I barely ever have to interact with any cars because the car roads and bike lanes are entirely separate.
In the middle of the city you could make a case about lanes with pedestrians and bike lanes that often are only separated by a painted line.
The crossings have separate buttons for pedestrians and bikes. Traffic is very rarely ambiguous, at least in urban areas. It's easy to bike "the right way".
There are rules for biking, and some assholes break them, but that goes for everything.
Basically, I agree with the other commenter. Infrastructure is the answer.
As someone who has the option to go full remote but does not do well with it, I'd be happy to at least get extra stuff covered. My public transportation is not cheap, and the food situation is a mess.
Jepp, for me it is barely a convenience so I don't even have an amazon account. I'm not American; seems like it's pretty important for a lot of people over there, unfortunately.
So this applies to those like me and others, if you can, stop using it. But I also believe these kind of boycotts don't make much of a dent without some serious organization.
Agree about ADHD people needing to find their own stimulation, one way or another. In my case I learned to use stress. It's my superpower. I can summon a stress response on command, until I just couldn't turn it off.
So a big reason to take my meds is to try to replace that stress response since it's making me crash mentally and physically. Even with meds, I spent most of my life not diagnosed, so it's hard to stop.
Damn I'm so glad I don't have to care about how much my meds cost.
I'm on elvanse (same as vyvanse) and it's the best of them so far but I still get plenty of side effects, I'd definitely wish I could just "fix" things instead of taking stimulants.
I was like that but weirdly I was 'adopted' into a group where everyone was a good student and it was uncool not to be. It was even the popular people in the class, full of very well-rounded people (they were social, also into sports or music, friends outside of school, etc).
I still stood up as a "nerd" for reasons that felt inexplicable at the time but later made sense as it turned out I'm autistic. I wasn't as well-rounded as them. I'd hang out with them but I couldn't wait to do things by myself like being at the library, learning languages and computer stuff and playing games.
I don't think any of these people talk to each other anymore because all of us grew in separate directions. I have made good friends since. I like the hobbies I got by allowing myself to do what I wanted. I like the opportunities I got from my grades.
I don't think high school is where you consolidate your friends for the rest of your life. Some people do it, but it's not a requirement.
