  • why do I keep doing this????

  • More than once (if that) per night is not normal. You should see a doctor if you have the means.

  • I relate hard to this. While I still do it on occasion, it burned me enough times that I’m basically too traumatized to do it anymore. Too many rough days where I fuck up everything due to exhaustion.

    One strategy has been rewarding myself for waking up early with a nice pastry or preferred caffeinated beverage on the way to work. Or just the small contentment of reading casually before I go in, instead of rushing until I run out the door.

    Basically, if my mornings suck, then I’m going to stay up to “procrastinate” the morning, illogical as that is. So the strategy is to make the mornings (more) pleasant.

    Another thing is no eating within 3 hours before bedtime. I find that digestion keeps me up longer and disrupts my sleep if I do doze off. The empty stomach in the morning also wakes me up consistently, like a built-in timer. If I’m up past midnight, I will be starving and night-eat which compounds the whole problem.

  • There’s always an equivalent way using a more advanced sentence structure. Parentheses are just the lazy way / bad habit.

    Example:

    • I went to the store this afternoon (I was out of milk) and I ran into an old friend.
    • I went to the store this afternoon because I was out of milk. There, I ran into an old friend.

  • Huh. Until right now, I thought rabbit and hare were synonyms.

    When I saw my first European Hare, I noted how not-cute and cuddly it looked... and thought to call them "hares" to denote to myself that they were not the cute rabbits I was familiar with. But now I feel dumb because that's literally what it is.

  • Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users?

    Jump

  • Mobile traffic far outweighs desktop for most sites, so it makes sense to do so. It’s expensive to maintain two UIs, so most sites just go with a hybrid approach that works well for mobile and fine for desktop.

  • I only ever see notifications of direct replies, not indirect ones.

    Definitely by design. I do not want to receive a geometrically increasing number of notifications as a comment chain expands underneath my comment.

    On reddit (maybe it was the Enhancement Suite) IIRC is an option to Watch a thread, which basically does what you want

  • If you can afford them, Shamma sandals are some of the best in the “barefoot sandal” category due to their straps. They’re repairable too, so you can buy the sandals once and just buy sole replacements

  • “The.” Oh you don’t know which war was “the”? Shame. Sounds like someone hasn’t been keeping up with their news.

    Obviously, “the” war is the one most prominently covered by US media. The other ones are only sparkling wars.
