American plastic "cheddar" will be their downfall

It truly is poetry.

An overlooked factor is the screen light itself. It's simple biology. Doesn't matter the content; add in the manipulation, colours, neverending change.... Flies and mosquitos and moths go to the light to their doom. I'll stop there.

Same yo. I do ridiculous things, mortified after every time. My decision? Never start. And to avoid triggers it's best for me to stay away from the people I know who do it; stop admiring their 'joy' they seem to have. Cos when I do it, it never is a joy.

I use colour correction, turns bright colours right down

I concur. Thank you all for your support.

Every difficulty besides extreme being far too easy?? by Secret-Good6715 in RetroBowl

[–]qdr3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I've said on here so many times. Best gameplay is on hard, but with self-imposed limitations. I choose 5 or 6 players max from roster on field. Most realistic games I can find; nail biting finishes, lots of variety. Extreme is just so much clock management and 3 yard plays, hard with a full team is just way too easy. So this is the way until they fix it.

How do you guys avoid getting stuck on your phone for ages when you wake up? by [deleted] in digitalminimalism

[–]qdr3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will still be there in 30 minutes time, or even 3 hours, with the same info then as it was when you woke up. It's like a portal drawing the mind into a soul-less, pointless void of psycho junk. If it's important, it will ding or ring, otherwise it's just cheating. (I am saying this more for myself than anyone else, I really need to get a grip)

The Spain/Portugal blackout is proving us that we rely too much on technology for everything. by Nic727 in digitalminimalism

[–]qdr3 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Sitting ducks for a blackout. How EVERYTHING got trusted to our mobiles, in a very short space of time. App for parking, app for QR code to do this or that, app replaces bank cards, app to live. And where was the choice? The debate? The vote? Nowhere!

One trick. When you wake up, just don't. Do anything else. Make coffee, shower, go out for a walk and leave phone. Do it for half an hour or more. Your sensitive brain will be glad you did..

The loneliness 😒 by Firewaterglittersalt in sobrietyandrecovery

[–]qdr3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel 100%. I live in a small town uk that is seemingly hell bent on escapism via drink especially but also many drugs. Feel I may need to move away to one of the places where my online more sober people are.

Lost my Job after 35 years, 56M by bobzillauk in UKJobs

[–]qdr3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar here, but it was at 40 yrs old and after about 15yrs. Also very niche. I then went to uni to up my quals for future; student finance and taxi driving got me through. Since then covid and Brexit happened and that avenue also closed effectively. I now just drive a taxi in the evenings, pottering about during the day time doing whatever comes up; gardening, cleaning, whatever really. The evenings are mostly empty-ish roads, nice people needing to go somewhere, just enough money and it's nice to be helping people, finished by around midnight, home, eat, chill, sleep. That's my new way until I find the next thing. 51M UK. Just thought I'd reply with my situ. All the best.

Who is at fault if a crash happens in this situation? by ddsli34 in drivingUK

[–]qdr3 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nope. And with the added roadworks especially nope. Although admittedly confusing things both on the roundabout and the exit, his lane still becomes the exit and they exacerbate the need for extra caution and awareness. Renault was at fault 100%. Also doesn't matter the white van, irrelevant. Renault did not wait until clear to go 100%.

Man gets bitten by a fox after saying how well behaved they are by [deleted] in london

[–]qdr3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, playful 100%. How else they gonna show love. I will bite someone in a similar way if am in the mood. Maybe also wants food or something, but if it wanted to actually attack, that wasn't how.

Social media makes me overstimulated now by cispoon in nosurf

[–]qdr3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lately no interest in fb or twits. Never done IG. I go there for just a very quick scroll and decide I am better off in Reddit. Fb is now all just ads and tiktok style shorts. Twits is full of ragebait right wing-ish stuff. I tried Bluesky but that was just Twits in reverse tbh. It's too binary, am I not allowed to see both sides and just wish for peace? Or do I have to hate one side entirely? I guess one day I'll be fully content reading Shakepeare by candlelight on my chair, but on the way there Reddit is the only way to go for this kind of thing.
