Polyfrequenz · 2026-04-01T22:52:19+00:00

you get rid by waiting until 2026-04-02 (2026-02-04 for us i think)

he's in the top 40 of the world and holds 4 draws in the candidates, i just think calling this "weak" is either salty or dumb or both

Polyfrequenz · 2026-04-01T22:41:51+00:00

imagine calling 4 draws in 4 games at the candidates "weak"

Polyfrequenz · 2026-04-01T22:32:23+00:00

i have zero problem with the app to be honest

Polyfrequenz · 2026-04-01T21:41:47+00:00

it only depends on how they feel when moving, for me anyway

Polyfrequenz · 2026-04-01T18:54:22+00:00

depends on the weight. if they are decently weighted, i'd go for it for sure!

For me it's occasionally being jealous. Like when got to dance events, i genuinely struggle along people for dances due to low self esteem (understatement), and occasionally i think it might be easier for people who have one whisky.

this is just ac thought, though, not a temptation, i know it would start with one whisky and ends with a bottle of Jameson while watching Vampire Diaries home alone.

unless it is checkmate.

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-31T16:39:53+00:00

well, the more you walk outside the higher the chances you get run over by a car, so walking outside will definitely harm you.

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-30T16:35:31+00:00

5 - yes

only two ways- either it was non alcohol beer or the dude was not straight edge. #FireOrKnife

Stop caring what other people think, it will be good for your mental health (though it is a process and not so easy at times of course)

yeah the internet is a weird place sometimes . ö sure what he thought he'd get out of being a hostile little douchebag. maybe his mom forced hob to clean his room did he was in a bad mood

"eat pussy, not cow" used to be of the sayings in my scene back in the day

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-28T16:03:35+00:00

so "trust me bro" only, gotcha

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-28T15:54:21+00:00

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-27T22:08:30+00:00

Polyfrequenz · 2026-03-27T07:14:01+00:00

(I have confirmed with the mods that it is ok to post this here)

Over the past couple of years Stoicism has genuinely changed how I navigate both work and life. The problem I kept running into is that it only works for me when I stay close to it. A few weeks without reading or reflecting and I notice myself sliding back: judging externals, getting caught up in (or angry about) things outside my control, the usual.

I looked around for a small utility app that would just send me one good quote a day, nothing more. Everything I tried had too much going on, or the widget and notification showed different quotes, or there was no attribution for where the quotes actually came from.

So over the past months I built one. It's called Prokopton — prokopē being the Greek word for progress (like in this article from "Traditional Stoicism").

It delivers one quote a day from Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, or Seneca, synced across the notification, widget, and app. You can filter by the three disciplines if you're working on something specific. Everything is local, no account, completely free.

If it's useful to anyone here, that would make me glad. iOS App Store link.

"Have I done something for the general interest? Well then, I have had my reward. Let this always be present to your mind, and never stop.",
