I have trouble finding podcasts I like. Usually if I want to hear a story, I want to be engrossed and have as many details as possible. And for nonfiction, I tend to dislike a lot of commentary. I just want the information as plain as possible.

Reading can feel like such a chore, even if you enjoy it.

I have trouble getting started. I’m not sure why I feel as though I should only read a book at a time, and that I should finish every book I start.

So I am trying to treat reading more like how I watch TV. I can start and stop, maybe skip a slow episode (chapter, page). I read more than one book at a time. I just swap between books as my interest changes.

Also, audiobooks have been a really great way for me to read more. I listen on walks, while driving, doing odd jobs, or just while playing some mindless game that keeps my eyes and hands occupied while I listen.

It’s just so much more fulfilling than listening to music. I find nothing is quite comparable to the way books capture a moment. Theres just so much perspective and wisdom even in fiction books, they can make other media seem somewhat shallow in comparison sometimes.

If you get/have a library card, see if they support overdrive/libby. I periodically replace my social media apps on my homescreen with a book reading app. When muscle memory decides its time to doom scroll, I end up reading a few pages of a book on my phone instead.

About caring less, I cant claim to have figured it out, but read stoic philosophy seems to help put me on the right track. My understanding is its the basis for a lot of modern psychotherapy, and it seems to make a lot of sense to me.

You know the split brain experiments? Your alter ego decided to test its theory.

I say do it! Even if its not polished, I find just getting thoughts on paper can slow down my brain and help me flesh out my own ideas. Might speed up your cooking to first draft a meta post (i.e. what your page is about, who it is for, etc.).

Then you can practice being clear and concise; whittle down your ‘ramblings’ into more clearly defined chunks.

Maybe then it could be easier see how your ideas are connected, helping you find a good interactive format.

Thank you pizza guy

Theyre just roomates

Does the KeepInventory gamerule not suit your needs here?

Lose my number

What about “freedom”?

They are people doing their job, but they do have say over the agenda of their employees. IMO an endless pursuit of wealth is kind of evil.

This is correct. But the port wont reply to anything but a valid client, so it should not be too apparent to a would-be attacker that you have a port open at all.

I thought fat was completely different than sugar? As in different macronutrients?

But HFCS might not trigger the release of insulin the same way other sugars do.

So long as its not flooded or destroyed in a disaster I presume

Its… it’s certainly something.

How well does your rpi keep up with transcoding? I have some 3bs laying around but I had assumed they wouldn’t handle jellyfin too well?

Edit: Reread your comment, you don’t have movies or tv shows. But out of curiosity, have you tried?

Theres an option to automatically merge libraries into tv and move lists. I think that it is only a user setting though.

Truly. Everyone knows that once a dragonfly sets its sights on you, your chances of survival are nil. Gary stood no chance.

you won! youve completed capitalism!
