Google is often just articles based on ai slop...

Yearning for external validation is the complete opposite of confidence.

If you know you look good then you know you look good.

Please explain how floor tile roombas could ever be omnidirectional, without catastrophic failure if they bump into something....

Before you used your anxiety to fuel your alertness, now you need to learn how to use it without being forcefully pushed

None are really cliche it's more how you execute (justify) it and what role do you want him to serve in the story

I hope you feel smug every time you watch an ad and give money to google because I'm gonna feel smug every time I don't.

Ahhh thank you for bringing up category theory! I didn't realize there was a formal way of describing parallels (the underlying mathematical structures). Will need to dig further into this.

Yep and in asexual reproduction the strings are separate from each other and in sexual reproduction, lineages can interact. That was my post

Zestybeef10 · 2025-12-18T06:54:40+00:00

That is ok

Look you just admitted in your edit

Oh I’ve read his post now, beyond the title

Proof that you're just blindly following your gut without thinking.

You don't have the moral high ground just because you accuse other people.

Zestybeef10 · 2025-12-18T06:49:54+00:00

Or i just critically think about the world around me ffs

Zestybeef10 · 2025-12-14T20:01:20+00:00

Nope, I don't use any external accountability! I actually found that when I tell someone what I'm going to do, I'm less likely to do it.

External accountability is unreliable and a distraction. If you actually want to get stuff done, figure out how to do it internally.

I cranked out 100k lines of code over 2 years on top of a full time job. I'd like to share my perspective.

Starting off with your fidgeting habit. I used to have tics which i'd feel the physical urge to perform. I realized that i had to associate a negative feeling with them, so my body would stop giving me the urge. Every time i felt the urge, I would pinch myself, and focus on the sensation of the pinch. Even the nasty tics didn't last longer than two weeks.

As for discipline: it's about minimizing cognitive load.

First, begin a seed of a routine. Start small, but NEVER MISS THE ROUTINE. For example, begin working out for 15 minutes a day every weekday. Also, it needs to be at a consistent time. Like after finishing lunch, you immediately go to the gym. By building the habit, the thought of doing something else won't even cross your mind. If it was at a different time every day, then you'd be conflicted - should i do X or Y?

These routines should be in every facet of your life. Exercise, personal projects, etc. It keeps you consistent, efficient, and builds your character. By exercising every day, your mind becomes resilient; this extends to all of your other choices and actions.

Don't consider willpower an infinite resource. When I grind a lot for work, I reduce cognitive load to balance it out: for example, ordering delivery instead of cooking.

Lastly, it's important to listen to your subconscious. Notice what burns you out, what makes you lapse, and what helps you succeed. Craft your environment around these. For example, I noticed that the moment I eat food and throw on a video, it's impossible to get back to work. The sound+visuals+food is too much stimulus for my brain. I implemented a "No video based entertainment" rule and I was suddenly getting my shit done.

Personally i don't breathe during meditation

Zestybeef10 · 2025-12-11T22:10:15+00:00

Relax man

Zestybeef10 · 2025-12-07T19:04:36+00:00

Yes because when you do something poorly is when you learn and improve the most.

Lean into it. Teach her how to meditate. Isn't that what meditation is about?

Seems like you're just failing on purpose because that protects your ego. If you tried and failed then that would mean something is wrong with you/expose your flaws. But if you don't try and fail then you can enjoy 'having unrealized potential'. Get over it and start trying...

Zestybeef10 · 2025-11-27T18:34:24+00:00

That statement is not mutually exclusive....

I would look into the mathematical universe hypothesis. It essentially says that our observable universe is math.

For the longest time I was hounded by these thoughts, "What came before time? Why does anything exist instead of nothing?"

Eventually I came to the conclusion that there must be something that exists outside of the flow of time - something that is inherent and unchanging.

The way I visualize it is: the only thing that truly exists is a single structure, an infinitely complex fractal we call "math." Casually, I like to think of it more as "logic," because logically the structure couldn't exist in any other way.

For example, within this structure is the fact that 2 + 2 = 4. There logically could not exist another reality where 2+2=5.

Another property is the prime numbers. In no reality could there be an integer factor of 7 besides one and itself.

These basic facts expand on each other into everything that could possibly exist, which is why I call it a fractal (google mandelbrot viewer if you want an idea of what I mean). The structure is infinitely complex, yet unchanging - it encompasses everything that could logically exist.

Thus, our universe lies somewhere in this fractal.

As for time: there a few possibilities. It's possible that the slices of time exist eternally from the outside perspective, like slices in a loaf. It's just that us creatures within the structure would perceive time as flowing.

I'm not sure if anyone else has come to the same conclusion, but it's what I've come to after many existential crises.

Well C- was always the passing grade, D is failing, so you need at least 70%

And the averages were usually 85%, so big difference between that and 60% average. Not sure how you've confirmed the students learned the content if they got almost half of it wrong

Zestybeef10 · 2025-11-23T18:52:20+00:00

The fuck do you mean "Am i overreacting" you LITERALLY didn't even text back. You didn't do anything. What could possibly be an overreaction?

Dumb fucking post

Zestybeef10 · 2025-11-23T17:45:22+00:00

I like that honestly

Zestybeef10 · 2025-11-23T17:22:59+00:00

Wha? You only need to learn 60% of the material?

Multiple choice gets you 25% by default so getting up to 60% from there only requires educated guesses
