The guy seems fine after treatment… Not a great experience though.

Agreed, but increasing awareness by 1000 fold probably balances out.

I don’t agree with you in general; but in cases like this I do. The point of protest is to gain attention.

Where I don’t agree:
Causes that are important, and we are not making progress (or like climate change, actively going backward).

Where I do agree:
Causes like this one, we are actively going forward. Mental health and by extension suicide prevention are talked about now more than ever. This is a shit way to gain attention.

Don’t forget the 15 minutes of inexplicably staring out the window, when you sent them to put something warm on.

Outside your comfort zone / different culture: The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Yeskov. It examines the events of The Lord of The Rings, from the perspective of Mordor and the orcs. Written by a Russian author. Super good, almost better than LotR.

As a suggestion form me (a random on the internet) ultraprocessed people, the science of food that isn’t food.

Now imagine they’ve got stocky muscles, spikes, and they want to kill you.

You mean like a pissed off 3yo when you are trying to trim their finger nails.

It is quite different.

As least here in NZ, ketchup has a vinegary component to the taste, tomato sauce is more sweet.

What enemies?

Not sure if you are referencing Conan or Khan…

Of those particular 3…a good mustard I guess. I don’t really use any of them.

Soy sauce

Chilli oil

Tomato sauce (fish and chips)

Oppo has very aggressive battery management.

While I was using one, had to manually turn off battery management for syncthing, and check after major updates…

But worked flawlessly once that issue was solved.

Little red riding hood - wolf eats your grandma.
Hansel and Gretel - forced out by stepmother, forced to kill a witch to survive.
Three little pigs - wolf kills your brother’s.

The “classics” are really bad

You may have a specific deficiency, but your story does not constitute data.

There have been many studies that have addressed this specific issue. Literally billions of dollars are wasted every year on these supplements. If you have a healthy diet, you are very unlikely to need supplementation.

This is the availability bias, because your experience is normal for you, you unconsciously think your experience is more normal than it is.

I have come through this, you sound like you are in a similar position to me.

One thing that helped for me was, imagine yourself 5 or even 10 years in the past, looking at a person in your position. What would that version of you think of the current you? If it is something like “when I have what that guy has, then I’ll be happy”, examine why your level for “happiness” has changed over that time.

Also stoic philosophy is great, the wisdom of 2500 years helps.

That word “supposed”, you are not “supposed” to feel anything…you feel what you feel, accept that. Rather than valuing getting tasks completed, try to change your value to something like “I’m a dependable person”, I am the type of person who you can depend on to help get that project across the line, but sometimes higher priority things will come up.

Simple answer to this:

If your imaginary friend can provide proof of its existence, I will accept that it exists. Until such time; I will go with the null hypothesis; your god doesn’t exist.

But don’t feel special, because I believe that no gods exist.

Great!

The early over the top hacker aesthetic, the ridiculous adversarial hacker battle, the complete misunderstanding of what hacking actually involved (the world has changed). It is all awesome.

Some of the stuff they got right is also cool, the social engineering is still a thing.

Also because of my age when it came out (1995)…I would have seen it in 96/97, I was in my late teens.

Yes.

It is a really cool take on time travel, really mind bending on the first watch. Once you have seen it a few times and understand the way things work, it kind of loses some of the entertainment value.

As a friend of mine said some years ago “VLC will play a slice of cucumber” that pretty much sums it up.
