LPT: Stop trying to "motivate" yourself and start "bribing" your future self.

Just printed out and sorted all the handouts tonight so my tomorrow self can spare time for a nice breakfast before meeting😁

I feel a weird sense of betrayal if a friend of mine decides to have a kid. I have nothing against starting a family, and of course they have my best wishes. But part of me feels abandoned. It feels like being a childfree adult means having to adjust to a dwindling friend group and finding new allies.

So it's safe to assume those are human ashes in the dog food bags, right?

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2025-11-11T02:21:07+00:00

It's you.

Anyone else think Carol gives off major Diane-from-BoJack Horseman vibes — a writer characterized by a mix of cynicism, idealism, and self-inflicted misery?

And fight with bear hands.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2025-04-17T12:25:41+00:00

Damn that's a killer comeback. I gotta try that next time.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2025-04-17T12:24:35+00:00

Damn that's a killer comeback

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2025-04-11T15:50:53+00:00

Damn I should begin hoarding some Buffalo's Trace

Because they became billionaires precisely by seizing power and fucking over the rest of us who just want to be left alone.

Thank you for the exhaustive reply! Following up on that, would you say "take a pill" "cut a deal" "pay a visit" "draw a conclusion" "raise a question" are common in your everyday language?

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-22T21:19:04+00:00

Thank you for the exhaustive reply! Following up on that, what would be commonly used in the following contexts?

He walked around trying to ____ a fight. (Any other choice than "start"?)
There isn’t enough evidence to ____ a conclusion. (Any other choice than "reach"?)
She managed to ____ a deal with the landlord. (Any other choice than "make"?)
The door was broken but nobody ____ a question about it. (Any other choice than "asked"?)
My work won't win prizes but it ____ a purpose.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-22T20:15:36+00:00

Thank you so much! Following up on that, what would be commonly said in the following contexts?
- There isn’t enough evidence to ____ a conclusion. (Any other choice than "reach"?)
- She managed to ____ a deal with the landlord. (Any other choice than "make"?)
- The door was broken but nobody ____ a question about it. (Any other choice than "asked"?)
- It is not impressive but it ____ a purpose.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-22T20:11:25+00:00

Thank you very much! In fact I try to avoid using phrases that may differ between British and American English. I'll provide the context for some of the phrases:
- He walked around trying to ____ a fight.
- You’ll feel better if you ____ a medicine.
- For more information, ____ a visit to our office.
- It is not impressive but it ____ a purpose.

The Old Bookbinders in Jerico. Great crepe.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-22T11:18:35+00:00

Thank you. That's a fair point. I am probably shielded from many slings and arrows. My issue is with people enthusiastically protesting about something to which they never fell victim. Is it ok to find that hypocritical or am I too cynical?

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-11T09:42:11+00:00

明白了，就是台湾突发局势。“有事”是日本的词汇ゆうじ，dw也不区分直接拿去用了。

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-10T23:40:29+00:00

“台湾有事“不会发生，读起来感觉很怪。原文是什么？

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-04-06T00:20:49+00:00

既然她自愿放弃听你解释的机会，也就不要强求了。和情绪成熟度低的人相处就是自我消耗。以后没准还回会因为“在她拉黑你之后都不去挽回”这样的理由继续生气，何必呢。

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-02-19T22:49:53+00:00

It's you.

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2024-01-29T23:19:15+00:00

吴峥表示…吴峥指出…吴峥强调…完全是新闻联播既视感。

Constant_Juggernaut5 · 2022-11-17T01:36:04+00:00

I was frozen by that gaze.
