  • I'm convinced a good number of, "media is telling our kids it's okay to choose to be gay!" crowd are closeted bisexuals.

    Because being homosexual isn't a choice, so if you see gay media and think there's a choice in the matter, then clearly you're into both sides and just choosing the side that supports your indoctrination.

  • Hey, you should smile less!

  • How are you?

  • I think I'm doing well all things considered, thanks!

    The only reason I can't speak for certainty is because of my anxiety from well.. gesters at what's happening to my country. This anxiety is also making my executive distinction worse which is probably my biggest day-to-day challenge at the moment.

  • Yeah, my e-reader tells me about how many pages I read in an hour, or something like that, and it was kind of fun to see how fast my reading got over time. I think I've plateaued though 😅.

  • I have a strange remedy (that worked for me of course. YRMV): take up reading of you currently don't.

    I admit it was a long journey to call myself a "gamer" again, but hear me out.

    I'm a 30 year old dude who works long hours. I got myself into the trap of, "oh I don't have time to play this game, maybe some other time." When I found I did have time, the games just weren't holding my attention. "This game isn't immediately fun, and when am I going to have this much time to play again? Playing this is a waste of time. Might as well watch TV or something." Sure, every now and then a game like vampire survivors would come up, I'd be addicted to it for a week or two, and then stop. But big games with stories or something? Forget about it.

    I started reading books at bed time. A chapter or two at a time. Eventually I would find a few books I couldn't put down and I read them all the time. This started scratching itches I have completely forgotten about. Some sort of deep thinking itch that was also fueled with curiosity and wonder. Reading books also re-taught me to be more patient too. It's not like I can completly absorb a story while skimming pages, right?

    At some point, my headspace around my leisure time changed. If I can be happy enough just sitting down a few hours reading, then what's stopping me from being happy playing video games?

    I bought Baulders Gate 3 finally and now I can't stop playing it.

    It's hard to explain, but it's almost as if I've re-learned how to enjoy my time again. If only I could sedate my anxiety about everything else going on in the world. 😅

    But take up reading! Try to just read 15 or 30 minutes a day. One doesn't need to completely stop doom scrolling. Just taking a break from it. Don't go into it with the headspace of "if I read, I will enjoy gaming." Just focusing on enjoying the book.

    Worst case scenario? You might not be into gaming, but hey, you're a reader now!

  • For a similar reason, this is why I'm thinking about getting American flag themed cycling bibs haha.

    Maybe when I'm out cycling, I'll be safer because they'll think "oh wait, he has an American flag, we can't hit that!"

  • IMO from personal experience I tend to half care.

    I personally wouldn't leave in, "Edit: a word," but if I change the substance of a comment in any meaningful way I like to leave an edit to say what changed.

    Particularly for when someone already replied to my comment or may already be replying to my comment. I would be afraid of accidentally trying to gaslight someone lol.

  • I'm so close to making the switch. I'm just a poor soul though who enjoys games with those annoying anti-cheats. Thinking about trying to do a duel boot just for those specific scenarios.

  • Mark Carney: Canada's next PM vows to win trade war with Trump

    Jump

  • Right?

    When I was younger, I'd try to "buy American" but over the years I've slowly stopped caring for the same reasons you've described.

    Now, I'm purposefully looking for non-american origins. As long as it's sustainable, I'll be buying more Canadian, Mexican, and European products now.

  • Wasn't there actually someone else before Kira? I vaguely remember there was some person on an undercover mission that Odo got involved with, but once their mission got over with they regained their memory and they were already married or something lol.
