Just fill your time by being the guy who replies “unfortunately this niche group of people I don’t belong to can’t use your advice” on every ask post reply. Some people really get a thrill out of it.

Like for instance if someone asks how they can stay hydrated and somebody replies water you could say “unfortunately some people don’t have access to clean water”, and then just let the upvotes roll in because it’s technically true. It’s going to make you feel worse in the short term because you’ll know what you’re doing, but you won’t recognize that right away or maybe ever so it’s probably a viable strategy for a month.

Name a time when people wanted to work. Did slave owners want to work?

Everybody’s like : we need to build more apartment complexes and duplexes. No, we need to outlaw landlords.

Ah, the efficiency of the private sector.

There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.

If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.

If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.

If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.

If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.

You need to toot your own horn until you can find someone who will toot it for you. Sometimes that means going above and beyond, but make sure the right people know what you did.

Nobody is going to give you what you don’t ask for.

Aligning action with these two things in mind will take you far.

So you’re challenging me to tell you what I think of you doing what I suggested?

Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.

There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.

Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.

I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.

It sounds like a win win for you and I like that for you.

I print a few exceptional photos a month to save.

I sell my time for like $30/hr. How much money would self hosting cost me vs a data leak where my information was actually used? I have a feeling it’s more.

It’s a nice hobby and I’m sorry I ruffled feathers with my opinion.

You should live the life you imagine you’re protecting with all this security theater.

Mine won’t turn on unless your ass is detected on the seat and it set me back less than $200.

People do mess with stuff, gotta agree there. Don’t agree that the solution is to not have stuff though. Might as well not have any public space if that’s the attitude.

Ok so if I’m lost in the woods I genuinely don’t care I’ll make it work to get home.

If I’m not lost I’m not using a computer in the woods. That’s where I go to not use computers, after all.

Ooh, or behind the scenes email drama from staff!

If you purchased them from the federal government they won’t have hard drives.

Slavery is allowed if you’re in prison, so that takes care of the work part.

I think I read that average is somewhere like 85-100 and I took note of when I felt most alert when waking up and when I felt most groggy.

I also like a weekend nap so I tried setting alarms for different amounts of time and landed on where I felt most alert and refreshed upon waking.

Bonus via edit: if you wake up during the night at the same time it might fall on a sleep cycle divisor. I wake up to pee at 4:30 a lot and 6:00 is my wake up time, 90 mins away.

Find out your sleep cycle length. Mine is 90 minutes. My life is better when I get 6, 7.5, or 9 hours (lol I wish) because I wake up at or near the end of a sleep cycle.

No electronics in bed. Bed is for sleep and sex. No TV either.

Wake up at the same time every day.

Don’t try to force yourself to sleep if it ain’t happening. Go do something boring for a bit.

Sometimes I’m worn out but can’t nap on weekends and I will just lay there trying to relax every muscle I can notice. Sometimes this makes me fall asleep and sometimes I just get some good body rest.

Make your room as dark as possible.

If you have trouble sleeping through noise, try a noise machine. It sounds counter intuitive but usually it’s new or sudden noises that are the problem, and your brain should tune out the noise machine after it becomes a usual sound.

Avoid caffeine 6 hours before bedtime.

If you get heartburn avoid acidic foods and drinks before bedtime.

Alcohol and grass will help you sleep sometimes but it will be worse quality sleep.

These are things that help me, they might not help you. Try to keep a sleep journal if you’re having trouble nailing down what might be disrupting your sleep. It’s all about being in tune with how your body works and feels. Take some time during the day to just feel how you feel.

If you try a bunch of stuff and you get sleep and drag ass every day anyways get checked for sleep apnea.

Used to chase black velvet with Pepsi blue in HS. Perfect chaser, annihilated any preceding flavors.
