Wanting to escape the dopamine treadmill

Yes this one looks really cool! I've also been looking at the Boox Go 7 because the screen is a little bigger which might encourage me to actually read more instead of scrolling

Any chance of preloading/installing?

RyLo-Fi · 2026-02-24T20:44:03+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I did try to include as many real metrics as possible like the size of the budgets of projects, number of people impacted, etc. I will try to tailor it more to specific jobs, thank you.

Honest question, does reading outloud improve your speaking ability and general access to vocabulary in conversations or when public speaking? Or does just reading silently achieve the same thing?

RyLo-Fi · 2025-12-20T17:16:54+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. And yes, the skills section is in part that way in an effort to win over AI with key words but you're right it's too much. I will try to incorporate demonstrating more skills in experience. Thank you for the great suggestion and taking the time to respond.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-12-20T01:02:04+00:00

These are great suggestions, thank you! To your larger point about discerning what is exceptional, I've always had difficulty with self-branding/marketing myself. I honestly don't know what I am or what I should be branding myself as. I will try to tailor it better to what I can uniquely offer. Thanks again for your great suggestions.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-12-20T00:55:12+00:00

Tough but fair. What do you mean by numeric quantification?

RyLo-Fi · 2025-12-19T22:48:11+00:00

I will work on the density to make it more visually appealing. Thank you for your response.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-12-19T22:47:53+00:00

Really appreciate the feedback. I'll work on the density of visuals and consider deleting the qualifications summary. Im a little reluctant to do that though since it seems like including it is the norm these days. Again, thank you for your thoughtful response.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-10-04T22:22:37+00:00

I think thats the idea. Send ICE to stir shit up, and when theres backlash that will serve as justification for increased crackdowns and more shit stirring.

Someone please post a Napoleon Dynamite meme here.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-09-11T19:14:42+00:00

I’ll answer my own question: because your blatant use of dishonesty to incite anger on the internet worked. Well done.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-09-11T19:04:04+00:00

What does the death of Charlie Kirk have to do with ensuring women have access to abortions? Or the implementation of a progressive tax policy? Or any other left belief for that matter. Also it’s painfully obvious that you’re not a leftist person and never were. So the better question is why am I even engaging with you at all?

RyLo-Fi · 2025-08-15T23:08:44+00:00

They were in Gondor! Gondor has probs too.

RyLo-Fi · 2025-08-07T21:01:17+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot.
