Fyi the word for nieces and nephews is niblings. That way you can just say a single word

I’m somewhat sure that when your pay for a subscription through the play store that it doesn’t send your full credit card information to any 3rd party, it’s google itself that does the credit card transaction

An ancient cheap small laptop would do it fine. Plex or Jellyfin software

Just to clarify, are you talking about preserving stuff that was already on the Internet, or are you talking about like paper cookbooks and other digital materials? Because for Internet materials archive.org backs up the entire web, including all the recipes.

News Flash: Cause and effect exists. People don’t pop into existence each day as a brand new slate unaffected by their past.

There may or may not be value to the study, but this pop-sci article is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

It’ll be in the air too. Anything in the soil will become dust in the air for years. It’ll get kicked into the air every time a lawn is mowed, a hole gets dug, a dry season occurs, etc

I didn’t read your whole comment, but from what i did read I can say this is basically the correct answer. The only thing I’d add is to also include nice sentiments and productivity explanations.

Like:

“Hey [person’s name], do you have a couple minutes? I wanna have a quick chat. I wanna let you know that I’m a significant introvert, which means i need alone time and and social boundaries. I think you’re a very nice person and i appreciate all the efforts you’ve made trying to connect with me, but that actually makes things more difficult for me. It emotionally stresses me out, and that in turn also reduces my productivity at work. I think you’re great, but it would be really helpful to me if there were no extra social interactions with me beyond what’s needed for our work to get done smoothly. I know you have good intentions when asking about my personal life and striking up conversations, and i honestly appreciate that intent, but it would be great if I could have social interactions kept to the minimum. I really appreciate your consideration on this stuff, thanks.”

This. Racism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, etc will never go away, but hopefully it will go back to being something that is shunned instead of promoted

I don’t listen to my favorite artist much at all. I’ve listened to them a lot in my life, and i love their songs every time one comes up randomly, but I’ve heard all their songs so many times in my life that i almost never purposely play them

Because there are enough people who are selfish, short sighted, or disinterested, and an enormous number of things in society require coordination, long term thinking, and decisions made every single hour of every single day.

That’s totally unworkable. Almost everything in society would completely stop functioning

I’m pinning my hopes on crude oil prices being much lower after the 10-20 years it would take to sort out the territorial disputes and complete construction of rigs that could pump oil in large volume. Oil will still be very valuable in 10-20 years, but i would guess it’ll be much less valuable then, and hopefully the price will be low enough to make it not worth the massive outlay cost

Hah back then the word “laptop” want even invented yet. I believe they were called “portable computers”

For most people under 50 i would guess they cant remember which it was. Even 40 years ago there were lots of arcade games, home game systems, and little portable game devices. So most people under 50 probably can’t remember the actual first one they played.

But you can answer the question “what’s the first video game that you remember playing?”

For me it was some atari 2600 game that a much older cousin had, i don’t remember which specific game it was.

That seems like a very powerful medication with a lot of effects and side effects that you would only want to use as a last resort. Wiki says it has effects on serotonin and dopamine receptors, which are also receptors effected by zoloft, so if seroquel helps you then you might want to consider switching to zoloft. But honestly what the hell do either of us know, we’re just sharing anecdotes, which is useful but shouldn’t be assumed to be true.

Yeah i WISH i could control when i sleep, but I have lifelong serious problems falling asleep. I’ve tried all the things people talk about - counting sheep, no screen right before bed, melatonin, meditation, exercise early in the day, etc etc. Some of them help somewhat sometimes, but so far there’s no fix. Actually there was one thing that totally fixed it, which was taking zoloft. Taking it at noon everyday completely fixed my lifelong sleeping problems even though it did little to help the depression i had back then. Now that i say it, i think i should start taking it again just because it fixed my sleep so completely.
