and oddly specific

I have trouble finding podcasts I like. Usually if I want to hear a story, I want to be engrossed and have as many details as possible. And for nonfiction, I tend to dislike a lot of commentary. I just want the information as plain as possible.

Reading can feel like such a chore, even if you enjoy it.

I have trouble getting started. I’m not sure why I feel as though I should only read a book at a time, and that I should finish every book I start.

So I am trying to treat reading more like how I watch TV. I can start and stop, maybe skip a slow episode (chapter, page). I read more than one book at a time. I just swap between books as my interest changes.

Also, audiobooks have been a really great way for me to read more. I listen on walks, while driving, doing odd jobs, or just while playing some mindless game that keeps my eyes and hands occupied while I listen.

It’s just so much more fulfilling than listening to music. I find nothing is quite comparable to the way books capture a moment. Theres just so much perspective and wisdom even in fiction books, they can make other media seem somewhat shallow in comparison sometimes.

If you get/have a library card, see if they support overdrive/libby. I periodically replace my social media apps on my homescreen with a book reading app. When muscle memory decides its time to doom scroll, I end up reading a few pages of a book on my phone instead.

About caring less, I cant claim to have figured it out, but read stoic philosophy seems to help put me on the right track. My understanding is its the basis for a lot of modern psychotherapy, and it seems to make a lot of sense to me.

Thank you pizza guy

What about “freedom”?

They are people doing their job, but they do have say over the agenda of their employees. IMO an endless pursuit of wealth is kind of evil.

This is correct. But the port wont reply to anything but a valid client, so it should not be too apparent to a would-be attacker that you have a port open at all.

I thought fat was completely different than sugar? As in different macronutrients?

But HFCS might not trigger the release of insulin the same way other sugars do.

Its… it’s certainly something.

I think some people buy used/refurbished.

Truly. Everyone knows that once a dragonfly sets its sights on you, your chances of survival are nil. Gary stood no chance.

you won! youve completed capitalism!

This please! I avoid my rss reader when I want uplifting news…

Is it not Musks decision? I thought the situation was more akin to “Your house your rules? I don’t like your rules so I’m packing a bag and running away.”

And it works with google cast out of the box!
