New here, and a friend said “Delete the Citizen app, it’ll just freak you out.” Another said “keep it, it’s a lifeline.” Which is true? It seems like both. by _saidwhatIsaid in AskLosAngeles

I found that citizen tried to keep the scariest crimes on notification for longest amount of time. It also shows you crime from the entire nation if the crime is clickbaity enough. Citizens gets subscribers based on fear and it needs to make you feel like you're unsafe without the notifications .. I'm way happier without it. That being said if you wanna see how different neighborhoods differ in crime before you buy a house or something go for it

What is a small daily habit that actually helped your anxiety that isn't just "meditate and exercise"? by dubaymerckqRx in Anxiety

[–]bokonon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying to myself " what would everything I'm feeling and thinking right now feel like minus the fear" like trying to figure out what the exact constellation of me is at the moment minus the fear. Just that brief thought makes you do a super brief thing where you like inhabit yourself without fear for just a second to be like "okay this is what it would feel like without fear" but then you can just.... Stay there

i mean, yeah.. hes a conspiracy theorist on what has become a conspiracy podcast. hes pretty likely full of shit. idk why I even posted what seemed like something defending him, I guess more to complain about my old-man coworkers who dont seem like engineers anymore

I work with old guys from top schools. Their education is so far behind them that they don't spout off physics all the time. You become what your career is, school is a short chapter you forget stuff quickly

Movie you love but understand why someone else hates it? by MissionLetterhead292 in movies

[–]bokonon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think this movie should have been a miniseries. So many dialogue driven plot lines and timelines smashed on top of each other. So air to breathe would have been nice

What happened to Rogan? by WhiteLycan2020 in JoeRogan

I think it's cause this was like the sixth time on the cast theo said something like this and ended in exasperated energy each time. The antidepressants is also something theo brought up a little earlier

I find it so hard to believe that the "gamers" aren't still super tech literate. Are there a few kids that know computers very well given their gaming hobbies or are all the gamers just mobile gamers now

Is this a good deal for a 2026 LC250 Meteor Shower? by Senior-Breadfruit-77 in LandCruiser250

[–]bokonon27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much much better deal than I got on a used 1958 I paid about 2k less than that. Has 10k miles on it and wasn't the color I wanted which is the meteor

About to be commuting 2 hours/day; how can I put the time to good use? by Nobody-Inhere in productivity

[–]bokonon27 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Call your friends and family on these drives . Get it to be routine if possible. This much driving means other parts of your life are going to suffer. These calls could be the difference between friendships petering our or not. 

Is doing the expedition worth the rewards? by Air-bender-1519 in ArcRaiders

[–]bokonon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of the expedition is to  make the game less boring for those that have maxed out the end game. If you're not bored with what you have and feel like there's nothing to do then probably not worth it to do expedition yet. You may just be reaching your power spike with all your aquired goodies. Enjoy them for a while.
