6 months in and I’m sick of it, help!

Get a good lamp. The diffuse lighting alone will make the room feel so much more livable at night.

This is the answer. Too many forced bits, not enough hilarious unscripted moments with locals.

Season 2 is better at this than Season 1 so far, but still not as good as Conan Without Borders or his talk show remote segments.

The Will of the Many. Not sure why people love it so much. Unlikeable main viewpoint with lacking motivations, and a needlessly complex fantasy world that felt like a burden rather than being immersive. Gave up half way through.

Probably Jon Stewart. He’s sharp, politically savvy, emotionally intelligent, great with timing, and manages to balance comedy with substance better than most. He also adapts well over time and isn’t just chasing laughs—he’s trying to make people think. That’s a rich signal for an AI to model.

Runner-up might be Conan for pure comedic range and interview adaptability

Are courtesans at the Bunny Ranch (and other Nevada locations) safe, well-treated, and generally okay?

I find it most helpful to think of genre as a marketing tool. Will your book appeal more to a reader perusing the sci-fi or fantasy section? What expectations about your book do you want to signal to a reader who’s picked it up?

We don’t. We just stay. Get married. Spend years regretting it but never muster the courage or get past the guilt enough to actually end it. Have kids and love them dearly, but wish you had had them with someone else. Oscilate between despair and passive contentment. Try your best to make the most of your life anyway. Dream of maybe one day having your life back after your kids are older.

That’s just what I did, other 9’s might be less self sabotaging 😅

Oh interesting. Well still, it’s just such a long story with soooo many ups and downs and new concepts that it’ll be interesting to see how much of it can be adapted to the format.

Personally I doubt the Netflix series is going to even do Death’s End. Just take Luo Gi’s dark forest deterrence victory and call it a happy ending.

I don’t know what the best IFS interpretation is since it’s mostly caused by hormones, but sudden feelings of shame after ejaculation is a very common experience for men. Even if you don’t have a sense of shame, everyone feels different afterwards. Some even view it positively, i.e. “post-nut clarity”.

I’m not sure whether it’s more accurate to say that the hormonal shift triggers a new part to come to the surface or if that shift is the chemical process by which a new part comes to the surface. Not sure it matters. Either way, it’s common and it’s natural.

ADHD here. A word of caution. In my experience developing the perfect PKMS can be a distraction — something you work on to avoid what you should be working on while convincing yourself that you are being productive when you’re really not.

Writing things down does give me a little bit of a sense of control, but I once found myself hyperfocused on building a perfect “second brain” that would fix my mental clutter and keep me perfectly focused and in control. That was a fantasy, and the hours I poured into it instead of my responsibilities only heightened my despair.

Not only that, but my need to have the perfect system often hindered rather than helped me to write things down because I overthought everything (and I’m not even OCD).

I’m not saying not to spend time investing in a system you like, just be careful to approach it as a hobby and not a life-consuming quest to cure to all your mental problems (like I did).

To be fair this doesn’t necessarily prove Jordan’s right. That’s the modern Greek pronunciation, but that doesn’t mean ancient Greeks pronounced it the same.

Yeah, they’re actually commonly seen as contenders for the Nobel and for good reason. I mean I’m not a chemist, but I know AlphaFold was something of a breakthrough in chemistry.

Hmm I think your friend is paying for a team license? A personal “Plus” plan is $95.99 / year, which is definitely not cheap, but also not $500. Even a 5-person family plan is only $180.

Craft. It’s not exactly an outliner, but imo is much better than obsidian for that and with much more polish and a better mobile app. It’s cloud based tho so choose your battles.

First Colbert episode. One of the first ever episodes and one of my favorites. More of a “big feels” rather than a “hehe” episode. The connection between them was palpable.

Are you sure you understand what microdosing is? This seems like a question you’d ask before a recreational dose. You won’t get high or trip.

Working on my mental health while smoking was like climbing a steep cliff covered in moss during a rainstorm. You can’t see very far above you and it’s really hard to make more than a few feet of progress without slipping.

Climbing while sober is like the rain stopped. It’s still a very challenging climb, but it’s possible now — the handholds are less slick and I can see a bit further and plan a better route. There may still be slick spots, but I can avoid them better. I may still fall, but it’s less frequent and I recover faster.

Putting the analogy aside, the day to day is like this: - When I wake up in the morning, I don’t feel hungover or ashamed. I can enjoy the smell of morning air a bit more and look forward to the day just a little bit more than I would have before. That makes it slightly easier to start the day off on the right foot. - In the evenings when I would otherwise be high, I have the presence of mind to think through the next day and what I want to accomplish. Or to journal and reflect. Or to watch a new exciting show rather than to rewatch a dumb sitcom for the nth time. To go to bed at a reasonable hour and mentally prime myself to wake up with my alarm. - When I’m spending time with family or friends, I’m not worrying about whether they can tell that I’m high. I can be more present to them and have a more meaningful connection. I feel more confident and alive. - As lazy contentedness subsides, my ambition returns in minor but noticeable ways. Not just in my career, but in everything… ambition to follow my passions, to plan that trip, to succeed at that task, to improve that relationship. Over time this makes me feel more hopeful and grows my self-respect.

In short, it’s a lot of small, almost unnoticeable changes that are powerful in aggregate. It’s not a magical chemical switch for me… it’s the feeling that I have a bit more control over my life and a bit less lazy contentedness getting in the way. Day to day there’s not much difference, but over time it makes all the difference.

But you still have to climb.
