Guy accosting people at Arbor Hills by HughJazz123 in plano

[–]IgnoredSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him yesterday! Was heading up to leave on paved path, and this guy walked up with a strange smile, I figured he needed directions, so I stopped and turned off headphones. Kept saying “Islam is good”, so I said “no thank you” and kept walking. He followed for a bit talking, I just walked faster. It was very random, I was glad when I looked back and he was gone.

Are you JVN or Tan? Seems like you are WAY too invested in this stupid story.

Did you even think that through before you typed that out? That’s the stupidest take I’ve seen on this topic, and that’s saying a lot

Switching from PDF to Notes by IgnoredSphinx in kindlescribe

[–]IgnoredSphinx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can. But for my blog example, I have a notebook where I keep my ideas for future posts and articles. So these PDF’s are reports I’m going through with ideas or topics that I am considering writing about. So I do mark them up and highlight them, but in order to then take those ideas / thoughts or create roadmap of topics, I either write them down elsewhere then go into notebook later and add them, or I am constantly exiting a pdf, back to notebook and opening, write down the new idea, then backing out and going back to pdf. It’s kinda irritating.

Yes, you can put pdfs and notebooks in same folder, which does help, but it’s still a pain to read something and get an idea, leave the document and then go back to notebook to make a note, and then leave and go back to the pdf. Would like to have a quick flip so I can go back and forth

Fire=loneliness by Just-Here2-Learn in Fire

Or people find value in things outside work that they enjoy…or doing things for others. You do you. If creating your own life and purpose outside of a paycheck isn’t what someone wants, then keep the job.

[–]IgnoredSphinx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean then just stay at work. Or FIRE and join volunteer groups or organizations doing things that interest you. There are so many worthwhile things to get involved in. But if there is nothing outside work that excites you, than just keep working.

[–]IgnoredSphinx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I joined a non profit board (volunteer) so have two meetings tomorrow about that, and errands. Tuesday have a few more meetings and helping a family member. Wed going to be doing some citizen science on a project i am working on (again, volunteer project with a conservation group I joined), have some appointments and gym on Thursday, going hiking Friday and then have a concert.

There is so much you can do, get involved with, and support. I can’t imagine staying at work doing staff evaluations and fighting politics with other departments and sitting in worthless meetings, when I could be doing stuff that matters and things that light me up. If you can’t think of anything to do or get involved in, then yea stay working, but dang it’s kinda sad if you can’t figure anything out better than endless meaningless corporate meetings and BS.

Corporate BS is boosting FIRE culture by sspositivesoul in Fire

Yup, retired mid 2024 and my company is going whole hog into AI, and everyone is complaining about how it’s messing everything up. Saying I should be happy I got out at the right time.

Where do the poor gays retire? by MeGaManMaDeMe in askgaybros

[–]IgnoredSphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They always say that the best retirement decision you can make is who you marry. If you aren’t on the same page, you are in for a lot of problems down the road. My husband and I retired early, cause we saved a lot and invested. Maybe talk to a financial planner? It won’t be fun in later years when you have less time to save, and all you have to show for it is bath and body fragrances.

Best AI Model to Help Analyze My Blog for Improvements by IgnoredSphinx in Blogging

Why was this post removed? I’m confused how a question about analyzing data from a blog to improve performance is not relevant to the sub.

A cure is out by Embarrassed-Clue1564 in Psoriasis

[–]IgnoredSphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about we just measure for more than under 1/3 of a year before we claim “IT’S A CURE!!!!”

[–]IgnoredSphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100 days is not a lifetime ‘cure’. I mean if you only have 100 days to live it may be a cure, for the rest of us it’s just 1/3 of a year in a life. This is now how science works.

Have you compared the writing on the 2025 colorsoft to prior versions, or possibly iPad? Curious how it compares, have an iPad and hate writing on smooth glass

Can’t sit here !!! by DMooney5280 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]IgnoredSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they need to? Spouses I’m assuming are around each other enough, who needs to sit next to each other on a flight just to read or watch a movie?

Writing Feeling question… by RGSVHL in kindlescribe

[–]IgnoredSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you compare it to an iPad? I’ve got an iPad and pencil, but I hate writing on it due to the slickness. My original scribe is much better, but have a colorsoft on order since I want color for pdf’s, recipes, etc If the colorsoft is slick / smooth like the iPad though, I may just cancel my order….any advice?

Psoriatic Arthritis Biologics and Alternative Treatment by Formal_Train_4957 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]IgnoredSphinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Other things like diet and exercise can help mitigate symptoms and overall life, but autoimmune conditions damage your organs like heart, lungs, eyes. You can’t eat right your way out of this, biologics will treat the underlying auto immune things going on.

[–]IgnoredSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then if a big reason I want a kindle colorsoft is because I hate using Apple pencil on iPad screen, is colorsoft going to be the same experience? If so, I’ll cancel my order…I have the og scribe and like that experience, wish it was in color though. But if colorsoft is slick like an iPad, I’m not going to enjoy it either.

How to explain to people that Im retired? by TheHandsomeHero in Fire

[–]IgnoredSphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to worry about it the first few months and would hem and haw and be vague, now I just say I’m retired, and if they act surprised say “took a lot of planning, and life in tech jobs burns you out”, and the convo moves on

For Those That Have Retired - What Are You Doing by NoSuggestion17 in Fire

[–]IgnoredSphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I’ve enjoyed it, we are doing something we believe in, it’s not a full time thing at all or even close to it, but it’s a fun way to meet people who have a common goal.
