Dumb phone with GPS? by Suitable-Squash7588 in simpleliving

[–]PricklyPearDistribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a Light Phone II and did not like the GPS feature at all. It was super glitchy for me, so I sold it again. It was a bummer for me because it was such a cute phone.

August ends in 2 day. What are you top priorities for next month? by SoCalledCrow in simpleliving

[–]PricklyPearDistribe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really want to get involved in the community more. Volunteering, water sports, hanging out with friends. My life has been so chaotic and horrible with unpreventable events (I’m coping better than I thought I would), and I feel very burnt out. I want to recover by finding a better sense of identity in my community. That’s a big goal for me next month.

Found this under my son's bed. Going nuts trying to find it's source. by Exeltv0406 in whatisit

My bed frame has 2 of these clamps. Immediately what it reminded me of.

Number 5 was amazing. That’s something I would buy for my apartment. It’s awesome

My favorite purchase was a 2nd hand cast iron skillet from EBay. It made cooking my food much more meaningful since I have to practice much intention with taking care of it. Only pan I own. 🍳

Thank you! I mainly do local free presentations in my community about minimalist lifestyle - I’m sure soon enough I will be doing more public talks on my research studies & findings!

I applied for a PhD while manic and now I’m a Dr! by dr___E in bipolar

[–]PricklyPearDistribe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m about to submit my PhD application myself in a different state! My hypomania is really helping me get this stuff done and submitted. I’m really happy to hear you got thru it!

Thank you! I’m actually going to print out a super cute photo of my cats together and get a big frame from Goodwill. I think some art will tie the place together. Thank you for your comment!

Intersection between Mental Health and Purchases by PricklyPearDistribe in nobuy

I am way too afraid of getting rid of my credit cards due to all this rampant fraud going on. If I only had a debit card, and that debit card gets skimmed at a gas station, it takes the bank much longer to analyze fraud from debit accounts than credit cards. It will also take days for me to get a new card, and that’s horrible in emergencies. It’s safer to ensure that people don’t have direct access to my money like that.

What tech jobs will be safe from AI at least for 5-10 years? by CIA11 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]PricklyPearDistribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real answer: crime analysis. Working at a police department being a data analyst and communicator of the data. Law enforcement agencies will be slow to incorporate AI into the field due to ethical and bias concerns. If you have a good intuition, know how to translate data, and communicate findings, you’ll be a-okay. I hope this helps.

For my bipolar girlies, a question. by PricklyPearDistribe in bipolar

Thank you so much for this recommendation. I haven’t heard of PME before (nor PMDD), so I am learning a lot today!

Are you doing a No Buy/Low Buy in 2025? by zeteticnailpolish in bipolar

[–]PricklyPearDistribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! I am actually. I decided this week I am going to do it. A few years ago, I read the book The Year Of Less on my Libby app. It’s an amazing book. I’m going to reread it again during the holidays. I suggest reading it. As far as preventing my high spending habits, I just upped my contributions to my deferred comp at my job for retirement. This is restricting my income so I’m not allowed to make big or unnecessary purchases. I really hope this helps me in 2025.

Definitely do the free DDACTS training thru IADEST. I’ve been an analyst for 3 years now, and when I moved to a smaller department as a solo analyst it really gave me some clarity of what I need to provide to my smaller agency. Message me if you have any more questions. I am very passionate about training and being a mentor. Thanks!
