  • Get in
  • Start car
  • Connect up bluetooth for tunes
  • Wait for startup high-idle to finish warming the cats or whatever
  • Drive

Buckle up and check the dashboard to see if any unwanted indicator lights up…

…Then proceed to doom scroll for 2 min.

Tugboater203, in What game do you play to just chill?
@Tugboater203@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, I fire up the Xbox and play the original Halo on easy difficulty. It’s like hanging out with an old friend.

Quetzalcutlass, (edited )

Same, either Halo and the Silent Cartographer or Halo 2 and Metropolis. Those two levels are my video game comfort food.

AlexWIWA,

Halo on easy is so fun. I love fucking around in Halo 3

It’s like hanging out with an old friend.

Interesting analogy, as this can be taken as an anxiety trigger as well.

Waiting for the oil pressure to protect the timing chain.

Or, in the winter, waiting for the CVT to warm up.

TheOldRazzleDazzle, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Checking my mirrors, checking tire pressure, waiting for the on-screen button to become responsive so I can ok the dumb EULA on screen so I can use the infotainment unit, reconnecting bluetooth a few times because the phone and infotainment unit randomly choose to connect.

No! What are you doing?! If you write them down, they’re no longer unwritten!

if it’s winter and really cold I’ll let the car run for a bit before going. also have to clear ice/snow off the car sometimes too.

jimmydoreisalefty, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

I get in:

  • seat belt
  • turn on car
  • fix phone stuff
  • fix temperature and/or windows open/close
  • make sure seat/mirrors are good to go
  • jam to music
  • then cautiously head out and drive
XBannedx, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Checking pbone, eating food, looking for cord, checking pockets, enjoying the view, making sure mirrors are adjusted properly, adjusting chair, adjusting steering wheel. Could be any number of things.

zepheriths, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Blue tooth. My music doesn’t have radio stations

slackassassin, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Queue podcasts, reply to txt/email, or anything else that needs to be taken care of on the phone so that it can be put away while driving.

DeathWearsANecktie, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

My car is old and has a display for Android auto that is powered by the cigarette lighter. I’m waiting for it to turn on, then I’m picking some music on Spotify to play during my drive.

Perfect score of 5/7, I quite like it.

uhmbah,

Scrolled too far to upvote this one.

Godort, (edited ) in Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

In my experience, with most people, his typically goes away as they get older. You eventually hit a point where people’s impressions of you dont matter anymore and it becomes much easier to freely admit you’re wrong.

Of course, there are people that never grow out of it, and that is often read as confidence. There is a reason that “fake it until you make it” works.

I am 18 currently and I have pretty much stopped caring about what others think of me. It just feels as if wasting any more energy speaking to them would be useless. But when I don’t defend myself people start verbally abusing me etc. I just don’t know what to do in situations like these

what to do … people start verbally abusing me

When I was 18, I started hangin out with a different crowd. ADULTS (of any age). If I was wrong, they’d explain why nicely. And vice versa. Learned a lot.

Vcio, in How would you rate my stick?

Where is the stick ? I only see a sword
