Zink,

I like to think of them as cookbook-accurate angels.

Zink,

I had this exact conversation a few days ago, and my kid is even 6!

Zink,

Definitely. I think of it as “positive nihilism” or something like that.

The fact that meaning and purpose, as we think of them, aren’t an inherent part of reality and are literally in our head… it’s liberating.

Zink,

Assuming those other people are all bad or at the very least less than the good people?

Using that as a reason to not help people? And love sharing it?

Using the same money on dumb wasteful shit for yourself?

I think the people you’re running into are just run of the mill conservatives.

Zink,

Interesting that the systemic discrimination in your case is due to a conscious choice and not systemic discrimination.

You describe the origins of “starving artist” and not “oppressed race” IMO.

Zink,

As an American who got to visit Sweden earlier this year, it was so refreshing and eye-opening to see how they treat people and property around them with dignity and respect.

It’s probably similar in a lot of Europe, but I did the speed run version going straight from the US to Scandinavia.

Zink,

Look at that face. That penguin STARTED with disdain for the poor.

Zink,

I remember seeing a meme like this here before. And here I am commenting again and spending more of my life on it again. :D

Zink,

It HAS been a long road…

Zink,

They could build a little clear dome over it right where it sits. Then build the museum around that.

Zink,

It shows how stupid and against your own best interests this kind of thinking can be.

I am the full time worker in my family, and happy to be the provider for them. However, I would be a stay at home dad / house-husband so damn fast if my wife got some random job mom making a lot more than me. I do have my priorities in order, after all.

Zink,

Bitwarden has been working well for me, and it’s open source and free to use. I started using it when it was clear that using LastPass was not a long term solution.

Zink,

I’ve done this and it has been convenient, but using a password manager is still the way to go IMO. The personal password algorithm approach starts to be a pain when you need to follow a different set of character rules or change a password. With a password manager there’s no hesitation or friction when considering a password change.

Zink,

“You just need enough drugs to make it work”

You figured out the name of my memoir!

Zink,

I’ve had two multi-month stretches of unemployment since the start of covid, and before that I was employed for 15+ years straight.

The “not working” part never got old. I am a chill person and a homebody so it was wonderful sometimes.

The part about not earning money, yeah that sucked. Living below our means for years made sure that the financial side wasn’t life-shattering, but it was still a huge hit.

Zink,

Yesss, I feel so seen!

Don’t put the thing in an easy to remember spot, or an easy to find spot. Put it in an inevitable spot. It has to be physically impossible to leave without it.

Small items can go in front of the door, or put the keys with them, ideally clipped on with a carabiner. Large items have to either block the door, or go in the car ahead of time immediately when I think of it.

Combine this with a wife who is a pro at losing things, and if something is in her way she’ll move it to the nearest open flat surface with no time or reason.

Zink,

There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.

Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.

Zink,

Having a mnemonic helps me with routine everyday things, though one-time things require the “attach keys or block door” method.

What I have settled on for routine items is a numbered list. Nothing complicated to remember. Just which item is which number.

When I get ready to leave my house, or stand up to leave work, it goes like this counting in my head:

1, 2: work phone and personal phone in one pocket

3, 4: wallet and keys in the other pocket

5, 6: watch on my left wrist and water bottle in my right hand

[7, 8]: if necessary: wireless earbuds and backpack

Plus at work, I have a strict rule that I cannot put my keys anywhere but my pocket. My fob to get in the building is on my key chain, and after the second time I locked myself out I made the rule. If I do take my keys out of my pocket to clip/unclip something like a USB flash drive or nail clippers, the keys stay in my hand until they go back into the pocket.

Zink,

I read it as the mime unleashing the horrible power of his voice, which he keeps hidden away from the world in times of peace.

It’s like Alanis Morissette in Dogma.

Zink,

I would argue that scrolling through fresh memes on Risa(@startrek.website) while on the toilet is the pinnacle of living in the moment. Particularly at work.

Zink,

I was looking for mention of the size of the piece they made, given that the material is a nano structure. No mention of it that I saw.

Probably not even visible to the eye.
