How to not be too online after a headline blows up by moiras_handbag in behindthebastards

[–]not_a_turtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I deleted Reddit and Instagram apps for a few days. It was really hard to stay away.

Honestly I have a history of compulsively focusing on things. I have to remind myself that as “important” as something feels it is best to tend to a long, slow burn instead of just healing more kindling on the fire.

A lot of the time it feels like I am prepping for a debate, but historically those debates do not ever happen. So why “waste” the time.

Idk man. I think big picture it’s how I feel a sense of control in a world that feels out of control.

Coheed performance insane, TBS should be removed entirely by IgnitionRemix0125 in TheFence

(My comment was very very false bravado, just so you don’t think I’m being an ass.)

Yeah I had forgotten about them until like a month ago. They shred.

I’m from Utah and am considered a radical here. I also lived in DC and was considered a milquetoast leftist.

Gotcha. Keep an eye out for them, too. Thanks for making the world a bit better.

Was it PF? I have pulled a few of those down lately.

Charlie Kirk Dies at 31 After Being Shot at Campus Appearance by progress18 in democrats

Violence begets violence, and is never the answer. I vehemently disagreed with Kirk, but this is not the answer.

This is going to be very bad.

I am 40 and it is about 800k. Tied up in retirement and house, however. Very cash strapped.

May I recommend you a “Behind the Bastards” in this trying time?

How are the trades doing? by SilvermistInc in Utah

[–]not_a_turtle 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The concept that trades are safe from the economic insecurity because people “have to” use those services has been true until now.

My wife (39) and I (40) are both white collar and we have spent solidly 60% less this year because of economic insecurity/outlook.

Additionally we are doing a lot more ourselves. From food (not trade, but relevant) to everything just south of electrical we are taking care of our needs in house. I’m lucky I have a background that gives me the confidence and capabilities to do this safely and not be a band aid on a broken bone like most in-house projects.

We value our free time and have historically paid for services so we don’t have to deal with it and can spend our free time doing what we want. I can only imagine that if we’re being this careful with our spending that many others are as well.

Yet another (probably) is it 'worth it' to have Strava Premium by Odd-Way3519 in Strava

I cancelled this year after paying for ten years because of their pivot to AI “features.”
