It begs the question, what is the ‘good’ solution.

Or is ‘good’ even possible?

Jesus fuck

America is overworked into apathy

2hr daily meeting.

Fuck man, sorry.

I work from home once a week, and yeah the steam deck is nice in this regards.

btw, did you know that the steam docking station also works on laptops? Found that to be very useful, now I don’t have to unplug and plug in a bunch of hdmi when I need to use the monitor for work/gaming.

Got a favorite app? Been trying to get into crosswords, but I do find them difficult.

Been using sporcle.

Office worker in government. Everyone around me is either an idiot/incompetent or doing all the work. Will get ‘rewarded’ with more work if I start asking for more.

At least you get to go home early if you want. I guarantee that 80% of office workers pretend to work all day because if we don’t then we are given more work/responsibilities without a pay increase, job title, any reward.

A lot of office work is ‘be ready to answer a question at anytime when someone walks up to your cube’. And to be fair, you are probably the only person who can answer that question since most people’s role is niche/specialized.

But honestly, pretty sure office workers/management want people in the office all hours of the days because they hate their home life, and use work as their only socialization.

Apologies.

Thank you for brining joy to the world

You have enlightened me.

Praise be to the bread Gods.

How can you tell that my account is new?

Also its a new account, I was here a few years ago.

Is this not the same/similar to seeing people’s search results of “how to get away with murder”?

Physical touch in erogenous zones.

Completely avoid the fact that politicians also don’t know how AI, or any tech, works.

Ignore the idiots that help you, but yell at the ‘idiots’ that make your feelings hurt.

Only had my heart broken once (twice if you count me taking her back after cheating).

Time was the only thing that helped me. And then after a year or two, trying to talk to other girls.

Either way, its rough man. Just know that you are not alone and everybody goes through it.

Online hobby communities. So if your into gaming/modding, join some discords or whatever and then eventually you can translate to irl. Especially if you live near a big city/population.

Also, my wife 5 years ago made about 5 new friends on Bumble with friend feature thing. Still hang out with two of them.

I would not say people are coming more prudish, but rather policies are. Why? I assume because cash is king, and the best way to get cash is in advertising. Advertising has always been prudish since it needs to appeal to the masses.

Policy eventually influences/dictates culture. This is most obvious with the world ‘unalive’.

Another idea, is that we are becoming significantly more moral and have increase civil rights. How does this relate? Well, if you grew up in the 90s or 00s you know that being told you were gay was not a joking matter, but a serious claim that could make you a social pariah. Now calling someone ‘gay’ as an insult is not as socially acceptable, is that because we are more prude or more moral?

I think what a lot of people identify as ‘prude’ culture is just another perspective of an attempt at being more moral and inclusive.

When I was a child, I would lay awake at night, in retrospect it was anxiety and depression due to loneliness (only child, sheltered, private school with less than 10 kids).

What I did, without the knowledge or concept of anxiety and depression, was that I would let me thoughts run and I would use logic and reasoning to get through them.

“What if a kid makes fun of me for this and that?” “I would then do this”, and then I would play out every single possible situation in my head on what the most common, worst, and best outcomes were.

A decade of doing that helped me.

Daily covers US politics with weekly recaps.

True, but it is hard to ignore that the a certain class seems to be centralized/condensed to one generation specifically. And that generation also consistently and energetically supports them to the day they die.

Does your wife take requests?

A loaf of sourdough with cheddar and jalapeno please.

I already have a bake at work, but I will gladly be fat for bread. If bread was good enough for our ancestors, its good enough for me damnt!

At least for us that are clever, can use tactics like this while we can.

The solution is to have dynamic personalized tutorials.

Lets take Death Stranding 2 for example, since I think its played a lot by working adults.

Death Stranding has a lot of story, relationships, and game mechanics they slowly throw at you. But when you take a break for 1-3 months it can definitely be difficult to remember what you were doing and how to do it.

They already have tutorials in their VR system, but that just goes over the basics. It would be neat if the game took the metrics they collect on you, to teach you how to use your most common moves and such.

It would also be neat if they could have a mentor system where the tutorial would then teach you new mechanics you ignored if it would help you out immediately (totally optional of course).
