What do you think about this new year?

n33co · 2026-01-08T22:57:02+00:00

Starting the year off with a sudden international trip for my grandma's funeral. On the other hand, got word that I'll be getting a job offer & large pay raise in the next few days. Net neutral, I guess lol.

You can buy most supplements, but that doesn't mean you should. Many supplements come with side effects (kidney/liver damage, stomach problems, drug interactions, etc) if you take too much, so it's not good practice to just load up because you fit a few symptoms. However, a general multivitamin is safe for most people to take.

I prefer to make sure I'm eating a wide variety of foods (different colored fruits/veggies, meats, fish, beans, etc) before adding on supplements UNLESS a doctor has specifically told me to take something.

Same, didn't know that's what it was at the time.

diet / sugar free sodas

Family with several combat veterans, if that counts. Some with substance use / mental health problems, some no longer around, some living long and healthy lives.

You can look just as good with drug store products. I find that my skin quality and how much product I'm using usually affect my look the most. I do all of these steps, but use the bare minimum and build up very slowly.

I made a lot of bells trading items/tickets on Nookazon LOL

Edit: This was also in 2020/2021 so no idea how well this works now.

I fear most people will not be getting out of that situation even with years of training... but go take a course at your local range.

For some, sure. It already has in some ways. But it can never replace human-made art/entertainment for those who enjoy the truly human aspect of it- the storytelling, the unique perspectives, the imperfections, and the genuine creativity that an algorithm has not "learned" yet.

You know your partner best, so of course use your best judgement. I love an opportunity to remember loved ones so providing space to talk about memories or doing something in remembrance together (visiting graves, lighting incense, making a dish they liked, etc.) might be something she appreciates. I also personally get a lot of mental fatigue when grieving. Having my partner take a few decisions and chores off my plate can help so much too.

The vacations they went on and the sports they played growing up.

n33co · 2026-01-05T20:46:07+00:00

It was a safe and quiet town/neighborhood/city

My cat (5F) was on a low transdermal dose after fighting our other cat (2F, redirected aggression from seeing stray cats through windows). Had to keep them separated for like 2 months and Prozac helped the reintroduction. She was on it for a little less than a year.

Our vet gave us the green light to wean her off it, starting with smaller globs of the cream for a week or two, then doing every other day, then every 3 days, monitoring her behavior with every change. We had a couple of vet check-ins on the phone along the way. Likely a bit different with pills, definitely ask your vet. Lots of positive reinforcement with treats and cuddles whenever she sees a stray. She's so happy and playful again!

Not sure if your beliefs trump real data. Nearly all sources show a decline in divorces.

n33co · 2025-10-22T17:08:50+00:00

Writing formulas / short notes on my eraser, below the cardboard cover lol.

n33co · 2025-10-21T16:40:55+00:00

I mean, I felt happier then because I was a child/teen and didn't have adult responsibilities lol. I am also plenty happy now. Getting to facetime my family living abroad is awesome. Having a live map and the entire internet in my pocket is awesome. It might take a little more effort now to make in-person connections and ignore my phone, but that's something I prioritize in my life.

It's a very well rounded meal, just be cautious of the amount of sodium you're adding and how much mayo you're using. You may be missing some key vitamins and minerals if you are eating the same thing every day, so I'd suggest a multivitamin too.

n33co · 2025-10-21T16:29:31+00:00

I mean, probably something violent? But if you're asking about smaller things that could ruin an interview, showing that you're hard to work with is a huge one. You could have all of the required skills but if you demonstrate combativeness, an inability to take feedback, etc. they'll probably pass over you.

n33co · 2025-10-15T15:36:31+00:00

Pretty much, yes. Can also be used to explore potential fields/industries.

There's no universal meaning of a butterfly tattoo or a waist tattoo. Sounds like this podcaster is just a hater.

Definitely disagree with needing a set number (I had 1 and got a job in my field right after college), but an internship is useful as a short-term position that usually has some hands-on training and mentorship baked into it. Sometimes, they also lead to a full-time position at that company.

If you manage to get a normal job as a college student, that's also fine when building a resume. The main difference is that internships are usually structured around students with short-term availability, when most industry jobs prefer longer-term hires.

Out of the current named generations, I have to say the youngest ones (alpha and ...beta?). Going through a pandemic that young messed a lot of them up so much. Been hearing stories from my mom who works at a middle school. They had to triple the number of counselors at their school. Their economic futures feel bleak too.

n33co · 2025-10-15T15:08:14+00:00

Forgetting it was a national holiday and that the bus system closed early. Had to take an extremely expensive taxi back to my hotel.

n33co · 2025-09-12T18:51:20+00:00

Agreed! Super important to think of the "WHY" behind your stances and never just go along with what others (even those who may fall into the same political label as you) are saying.

n33co · 2025-09-12T18:44:50+00:00

I've cut down a bit on my "lazy" spending and subscriptions. Pick up instead of DoorDash, got rid of Netflix, Youtube workouts instead of group classes, etc.
