Having friends who you can spend an entire day helping work on a project and when you get home your wife will ask questions about what’s going on in the friends life and you have no idea but he’s still your friend and you both thought it was a good day.

Sorry for the run-on sentence.

Sometimes it feels like men use their friends to get away from thinking about all the stress of life. Like when men hang out it's just a lot of doing things with all the talk being focused on the here and now.

It's nice in some ways but I do think it hurts us when it comes to mental health because sometimes you gotta talk about shit and sometimes your friends are just like "lol stop being a bitch" when you need a "that's rough I'm here for you."

This is actually very useful information. Gives me another reason not to pick up my mobile device when I'm awake in the middle of the night.

This is how I've been getting to sleep for years without knowing it. I would literally lay down, play some music that I don't have to pay attention to (lofi is great for this) and just lay there until I wake up.

There are rare times where I end up being up for like 2 hours and give up but generally the longest I have to lie there is 30 minutes.

Meditation and relaxation stuff helps.

I think the clothing industry would continue. We still need to be not naked even if we love ourselves.

Pockets would be more of a thing for sure though.

I consider tickets for expired inspection / registration just part of the ADHD Tax.

Also, my tires would be fine if I just remembered to top them up at least once in the past 3 months. But I keep forgetting.

Except you can actually get points on your license for that so it's a lot more serious than just a ticket or a fine sometimes.

You need an organization system that works for you. For me I always set two timers after I do the laundry to remind me to come back and switch them the first is to remind me on the 2nd is for when I inevitably dismiss the first 🥲

GDT specifically recommends against putting things that are not datetime bound events or tasks on the calendar.

The risk is that you don’t do the tasks in the assigned blocks (because the time-pressure is contrived) and then the calendar itself loses its impact, you stop paying attention to it, and end up ignoring it to the detriment of actual time-bound events.

The foundational tool of GTD for unbound tasks is really just a running list that you crank through.

Bullet journal for tasks and calendar for appointments is the way but you must build both into an unconscious habit.

Since no one had the proclivities to ask the important question, what search engine actually performs well today?

I want to also say DDG but one thing you should know about when using it are bangs. You can do "!g" anywhere in the search term and it'll search Google. !b searches bing !y does yahoo etc.

This makes duck duck go incredibly useful because you are able to search DuckDuckGo and if you don't find the results you are looking for you can throw a bang in to have it take that same search term and send it to Google returning Google search results instead of DuckDuckGo's.

I love the idea that the end stages of the capitalism is that we make AI and then the AI is like "capitalism doesn't work let's switch to socialism."

Just companies putting out these AI to make profits and the AI is like "you know if you humans all work together everybody could eat In the company that built me as well as all of your politicians are trying to divide you so that they can profit off of you."

This is why I park far out. Two reasons, the first because I’m not gonna get dinged again by someone’s door. And two because I need the walk, I don’t workout. So far I’m getting good results of both.

I do this but also I park in spot near the carts or something so there's less sides I could be hit on.

I agree with this Bob sounds like he's on the spectrum and doesn't know how to talk to people. Like maybe Bob is just a creepy weirdo but let's say the guy was autistic and genuinely trying to make a social connection. Instead of doing stuff with him they are expecting you to do that simply because he's lonely but if Bob really is just a nice autistic guy they could ease his loneliness by actually hanging out with him.

They could take him out in public and actually help him learn how to better talk to neurotypical people or they could just expect you to do all the emotional labor.

Basically, if they are right and Bob is a nice guy who has social issues and is their friend they should be hanging out with him and helping him out.

If he's actually a weirdo then it's even worse because If it's not the former it's most certainly that they know that he is annoying as hell and don't want to be around him themselves.

Yeah what I meant was like these so called friends should be the one helping him out with social interactions if they are truly his friends vs going "I feel bad for him so you (as a woman) should go make him feel better so I as his 'friend' don't feel so bad."
