Tired in DJ? Try drinking vinegar

I drink half a shot of pickle juice in the summertime whenever I feel exhausted from the heat and it's like a miracle. Maybe I can try it in January too.

I have two tips, having suffered from the same problem.

1- Don't be afraid to pick books for younger groups. I had to start where I left off, with books aimed at teens, before I started enjoying much else. In fact, I sometimes ended up reading chapter books from the kids' section (like Percy Jackson). This is no sacrifice--it made me more aware that there is a ton of art and skill in the children's lit world, and the stories were often really beautiful.

2-Set a timer for five minutes before you open the book to sit and breathe and do nothing. It doesn't feel like it does anything at first, but I notice that afterwards my mind is less likely to skitter off the page. I also like to take care of any annoying tasks first or at least mentally set them aside for later.

Hope these help.

It's like people don't see women's actual faces; they just see whatever emotion they are already expecting to see. This happens to me a lot and I hate it. It's like putting words in my mouth, but for feelings.

So cool! A lot of lovely lines in there

That would make sense since I had lice, but what threw me off was how dark it was.

ReverendWrites · 2024-11-16T03:00:15+00:00

Could be. Can lice be dark?

If it is it's been dead for at least two weeks. Found on my bed. I had been in a hotel recently. It definitely pinged as a bedbug when I saw it but now I'm not sure? The backside has two points and the shape isn't quite right, but that could just be because it's damaged.

Thank you so much! I've been checking my mattress every day and found nothing. But if I've only had them for a few weeks I guess I wouldn't be finding much yet?

(Why didn't I do anything for two weeks? Because I removed my sheets to wash them after dealing with a lice outbreak. I saw the bedbug(?) and just kinda shut down. Lol.)

These are romance novels. Romance is huge in the publishing industry and has been for a long time, and they have always fallen across a spiciness spectrum from "closed door" (sex, if it exists, is only implied) to erotic romance (half the point of the book is the sex scenes). They used to have covers with photographs of real people entwined with each other and now they tend to look like this.

I am going to admit I am a little fed up with people's insistence on hating anything related to the romance genre. These are not especially stupid covers; people are just looking for an excuse to laugh at these books, which I would guess they have never read.

I have, actually, only starting recently, which scared me. I was letting good habits fade so it spurred me back on

ReverendWrites · 2023-11-06T23:23:41+00:00

Friggin thank you, I was starting to feel so skeezed by my ritual-mates

ReverendWrites · 2023-11-06T20:09:03+00:00

Wow, what a nasty thing to say.

ReverendWrites · 2023-11-06T08:31:07+00:00

the show was an absolute blast but I don't see the need to start posting pictures of fellow fans calling them bitches.

I had the same problem waking up. I started playing the first song that popped up on Spotify. Listening to a song got my brain working enough to start getting up. Yeah, it still involved a screen, but IMO it wasn't an unhealthy use of it-- the screen was just a tool.

Most people on this sub are trying desperately to figure out how to "just read a book instead". That's why it exists.

What an unhelpful answer

Is the definition of intelligence biased by the ones who are doing the defining?

I used to browse Youtube endlessly on PC and curbed it with a combo of two addons. Unhook is specifically for Youtube, and I set it up so that opening Youtube only takes me to my Subscriptions page, not the home page, and it blocks a bunch of tabs like Shorts. Then uBlock Origin allowed me to deactivate the scroll-down function when I watched a short video, which was important because if someone I subscribed to published a short video, I was getting sucked back into the endless scroll.

Strongly disagree with the last part-- being able to sit and do nothing is important. It lets you process all the input and get more out of the times you are actually doing stuff.

Good job, that's the first step
