I would mostly do more of what I am already doing, spending as much time as possible surrounded by nature, for me personally — woods. Or, riding my bike even more… Learning and reading even more, plus programming level 9000 on the side.

I could visit Iceland and Japan without overthinking it too much…

Oh! If this “needs are met” applies to others too, then I could spend more time with people that are now grinding hard all this working or parenting life. If it doesn’t apply — then I could try to do my best that it would.

I don’t have any data to meaningfully back it up but I will trust my gut and the things I have read from people here.

There is some significant amount of users here that fully / mostly abandoned social media and pretty often are in some kind of a post-reddit-lurker limbo, plus their age is around “I have a partner / family / job / hobbies / things in life I care more about than passionately posting / moderating online”.

My blind shot is that this group would be the growing / fresh part of lemmysphere but they just don’t feel the urge to go for another reddit-type experience as most often than not it was a shit show in the worst case and time consuming endless void sprinkled with really mixed quality content in the best case scenario. Plus you can lurk hard here without even making an account, with quite healthy approach, somewhere around “I don’t care about voting or commenting but let’s just check what is happening”.

What I would like to see evolving here is posts lifespans so they could properly aggregate the answers, responses or votes. Something like “follow this post / inform me about new comments”.

So…

1. You want to learn new things and now you are getting discouraged.

Why you wanted to learn new things? Was it adventure calling, random idea, someone gave you some advice/ideas or you were great in your imagination at them before even starting? Whatever it was, learning new things can be equally great and hard.

2. You seem to be failing at new things.

This is how learning works. Some people fail more and harder, or need more explanations, or more trial and error until the “thing” clicks in their head.

Did I miss anything? There is not enough information but let me shoot in the dark:

• The thing with diving or climbing, was it a one and done thing or do you continue doing it anyhow?

Why I am asking? There is quite a big difference in “I want to learn new things”, “I want to try/test new things”, “I am bored and just wanna do something” and “I am seeking for a (new) lifelong passion/hobby” or even harder “I want to get really good at X”… Depending on what your actual need is, there is plenty of possibilities why the process and effects are not satisfying for you.

• What does “looked bad” mean? Was it a comment from your instructor, or someone from the group gave you a weird look or laughed? Or you had it recorded and you compared your technique to others?

Sounds a little like some form of stage-fright, you can process the instructions and get what the instructor is saying but the problem begins during the “performance” part? Following the instructions and so on? This is quite common, especially during group classes with random people you don’t know. They can be quite chaotic and overstimulating… There is not much you can do to avoid it, but there is a lot you can do to work through it.

• Part about “no pressure”

Maybe a form of group classes is too much and just not for you at the beginning — maybe one on one approach would suit your needs better?

There are so many angles to approach this subject…

I have this neighbor. He is like 70+ yo, after a stroke and a heart attack, barely talks and walks…

Somehow, this guy still has some slapping sense of humor. How come he pulls it off and most people I briefly checked online history of can’t and more often than not are the same people talking “everyone is just too serious nowadays”, “no-one can get a good joke anymore, huh?” or “why they banned me? Again!”…

I am not saying this about OP, but I am starting to notice a trend.

Plus, yeah, being able to read the room (this in itself can be 10 times harder online), knowing your range and type of humor you operate with can definitely help. And sometimes… sometimes it just doesn’t land at all — best lesson to improve or learn something. On the other hand, not everything and not every occasion or room has to be a comedic scene.

I never actually counted but thanks to your question I know now. Currently I am enjoying music on 45 playlists and there is zero songs overlapping, with a small exception of “temporary” playlist — where songs are awaiting being sorted and this one is generally a “beautiful mess”.

There might be like 5 songs that occupy different playlists but they are in different versions, covers, unplugged/concert versions or redefining remixes.

I wish I knew about all of them, it is more of a journey, exploratory process.

Laeyouzoids™ are created whenever you are doing something important, or when you are passionate about it, when you like or love what you are currently doing…

Those are a little rarer, thus more complex in their flow at first glance. More defined and brighter.

You do it naturally and automatically, using your whole body and energy — whether you sleep, sit and watch a video, walk somewhere, dance, wait in a queue, ride your bike… Some would say that you can not not create one.

But, there is a special kind of Youzoids™, maybe you wanted to know about those? They are called Laeyouzoids™…

Sure, tell me what would you like to know?

To properly shoot web at anything, follow these simple steps:

1. Aim your shooting adapted limb, abdomen, perforation, cavity, crevice or device,
2. Find the sweet spot between accuracy and precision. Eye squint is optional for dramatic effect or — in some cases — even increased accuracy,
3. Shoot

Possible outcomes:

1. Preferable, you have hit your target. If you possess one of those flamboyant or more cocky styles, this is the perfect opportunity to use your well-prepared one-liner, punchline, slogan or motto. If you are on more villainous side of the spectrum, now is the time for your very intricate and extensive power monologue that is unavoidably the groundwork for your upcoming defeat or demise,
2. Unfavorable, you have missed your target. Use your mixed Chill and Charisma perks to redirect the build-up of residual tension, sourness and shame onto other subjects. Great resource on how to handle those situations is the bestseller “You were not born a loser, or how to invite success into your life with unfairly dealt hands, or how I started blasting” by Danny DeVito

No worries, the official nomenclature is “Fat Tony sleeps well”.

You can rest now…

Youzoid™

— wherever you go, whatever you do, you create this one and only shape that has never existed in any time and space. Science is baffled by those shapes, as they are constantly popping into existence everywhere.

Theoretically they can be morphing from Anteyouzoids™ and even into Postyouzoids™ — those require further research.

TRUE

Can I grab this one?

I have created quite a few for people and my designs were successful at landing well with employers.

Firstly, most of the time luck is a deciding factor and there is no brute forcing through it, so stay strong and keep searching. There can be a lot of mind games around the recruitation process.

It is easier to explain how to improve a resume based on any input as a base, but it is good to have two versions, one lighter and the other one more strict / professional.

When people were spreading wide nets during the job hunting, that was a minimum — you should present a vibe that at least kinda matches the position. Good to have a printed versions and digital, PDF file is a solid choice.

For some positions, where you are any type of a representative, taking care of customers is one of your main tasks — consider a resume with a picture.

It should not be a factor but obviously, it is. And please don’t have a “zombie” or any “gangsta” face. Terrible picture is worse than no picture.

Another baseline is one page only. If you have a valuable list of actual experiences for more than one page you really don’t need to write a resume most of the time and even if you do, there is a way to compress the education or work history sections to provide a full picture and add some detail for the last or two most recent positions.

Yes, one page, really.

Two most important aspects to really pour your time and efforts into:

1. Proofreading. Check it 20 times, seriously. I saw so many resumes thrown into the bin just because there were two spelling errors in two words in the first line of text. Check it one more time, check if your email and phone number are valid and don’t use silly email addresses (in 99% of the cases). Give it to a partner, friend, parent, sibling — ask them to check if anything is or feels wrong. If you are — for any reason — making your resume in language you don’t know, use a professional help, don’t use automatic translators etc.
2. Design. Whether it is good margins, readable lists, using font sizes to guide the eye of the reader, sure it is not about using every option in your text editor, don’t go crazy with fonts — styles and amount, if you know what are you doing, one is the perfect amount and two is actual maximum. Well constructed page can attract recruiters or employers and makes your resume stand out or hold the focus for those crucial five minutes.

Don’t use any “crazy” paper, especially with glitter or colored, paper weight can help tho, you don’t want a flimsy napkin or so stiff paper that you could kill with it.

If you are making copies, check if they are good and readable. Please, don’t let it get bent, wet or stained. Have a folder or something to protect it during the transport.

They will often treat it like shit or write on it but deliver it in a neat condition.

If your country requires for legal reasons any clauses to be present — check the official, most recent guidelines.

I hope this will anyhow help you achieve your goals or at least, get you started.

Depending on the situation. Simplified, obviously:

• If I can actively do something about it immediately or soon enough “<myname>, you know, you can do it and it will really help you”.

• If it is more on emotional basis “<myname>, I love you / you are important / I know it hurts / I understand — what would you like to do?” saying this type of stuff often and since I can remember, made me respond automatically, whether it is something simple like “I would really like to have an almond ice cream today” or “I am watching the movie tonight / going for a walk” etc or more advanced like “I will do X, Y and Z — in this order”. Having a self-checkup as a tool is really helpful.

• If it is a more complex situation — firstly comes a quick energy level check, followed by looking for the simplest part of the problem as a hook to get the ball rolling or a solid rest (passive or active) to restart the system.

• If it is a really overwhelming / prolonged thing, any form of contact / consultation, either with partner, family, friend or a professional.
