As others said: Choose to fall in love with brushing and flossing your teeth.
Make that shit your “me” time.
Experiment with expensive or esoteric ways to make it feel great.
If it’s not the best part of your day, change things up until it is.
I would have suffered less if I had figured this out sooner.
does manifestation actually work
Not unless your parents are rich.
had some bad losses in trading lately, took a short break and now trying to actually fix my risk management before going back in
Good for you getting out. Don’t get back in. No more day trading. Day trading is anti-social shithead behavior, anyway. If you don’t feel bad for doing it, take a closer look. It doesn’t pass any kind of pro-social test.
if you’re older and already been through your 20s, what do you wish someone told you back then?
Someone did tell me this, but I was a stupid kid. I followed it, but I started stupdily late.
Maybe you’re smarter than I was, but forgive yourself later if you’re not - you’re at least in good company.
Here is is:
"Time in the market always beats market timing. Buy conservative things with real value - ideally that routinely pay a dividend. Hold on to them.
However powerful you think you know compounding interest is, you’re wrong. It’s substantially more powerful than that.
Get it - compounding interest - on your side right now, and keep it there, anytime you can.
Don’t take out any debt that you can possibly avoid."
Probably zone out all day on my home emotional manipulaor machine.
“You’re absolutely right. I did hallucinate sending an ambulance, more than once, earlier. Let me correct that and dispatch an ambulance to your location.”
Thought about a couple cases of his favorite beer. Still might do that. Any other ideas?
Consumables that the person already likes make great gifts, since they will get used up and not sit around.
I usually avoid abusable substances, just in case the person has a carefully balanced relationship with that substance.
But you know your friend.
Sometimes I just ask first. No real reason this needs to be a surprise.
“I know you said you won’t take cash, but I’m going to grab you two cases of X as a thank you, on my way back.”
Then they get a chance to call me off, or redirect me if it would be a problem.
And I’ll always let them call it off with even a mild “no thanks”, since they might not want to say to me “I have a real problem with X and I can’t safely have thay much on hand.”.

About fucking time.
Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.
If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.
Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.
Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.
Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.
Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.
Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.
Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.
Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.
Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(
Let’s be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.
Company is - you guessed it - Flock. (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed with a correction.)
Apparently he makes bank.
Epic!
I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn’t think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.
Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.
But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.
One pushback - there’s still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.
Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.
Ouch!
The good news is you’ll get invited to Cobol/AS400/Mainframe conventions if eventually you’re the only ones left on Windows.
Those folks have similar challenges, but are great to party with after a day of conference talks.
I can’t see these gaining more popularity over Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo if they are only sticking to do retro.
Right. I don’t think they are particularly trying for those markets - although Sony dropping physical media of any kind is probably doing Evercade a favor anyway.
I carry my Hyper Mega Tech Pocket more often than my SteamDeck or Switch Lite, because it is so much smaller.
From my understanding, most indie companies want maximum reach for their games, especially for the amount of time and money they put into things.
Yes. Evercade’s gimick is multiple games per cart, rather than exclusives.
Some of my Indie game collection I got cheaper by buying it on Evercade. Some idie devs I have only discovered because they included a game on Evercade.
A few I have bought again on my SteamDeck, to add it to my family library.
I remember the random people I’ve interacted that I really liked.
Then I taught myself enough acting skills to pretend to be that person.
I get genrally better service than anyone else.
I also tip well, because I can. That probably helps, but that’s not why I do it.
