RL has been like that for a while

Only one who’s never been hungry aside from an intentional fast at most can dare claim the benefits of deprivation.

I’m down to a soda/caffeine drink at most once a day, down from drinking two or more every day.

Almost all the films and games I’ve interacted with came from a little , otherwise it just wouldn’t be accessible for me.

Oh but they totally are, it gotta make sure you didn’t ask voice bots something. Anyway, its something you don’t opt out of because that would require a totally de-googled device using lineageos or something and avoiding voice things, also it goes off IP rather than device. For example, my dad visited my house and started to complain about getting youtube ads in Tamil and then being amused by some of the ads and going down a youtube Kollywood wormhole. I do watch a lot of foreign film where my phone can hear me, so every once in a while I’ll get an ad of the language of the last film watched, which is sort of funny ngl.

Try to do so many apps per week, 7 or so is a good number, doing a lot sounds good on paper, but HR of different places talk and flooding with your resume makes you look desperate and therefore unemployable.

Create a schedule you can follow and try to have so much time dedicated to rest/enjoyment if possible, no matter how small.

Self hosted retro private EQemu, I also use the server for Jellyfin, just for music.

I used to use it to control my window AC from work too, but sadly the smart plug I use for that died over the winter, was nice to pair with those tuya-alternative through http since my cheapo phone needs to save all the storage it can. Its on a very old rig, so I’m always impressed that it still works.

Seconding this, and even if its a supposed stable profession don’t depend on it, I’ve seen too many tradesmen working retail and doctors that fail to start residency.

I’d add on learn as many skills as you can, especially basic cooking and repair (car, home, gadgets, etc), it will save you time and money. Home cooked is cheaper than eating out and if you can make meals in advance and freeze them it will save time.

And strawberry milk comes from red cows.

It doesn’t matter in the end.

There probably are, there’s a reason why super high security systems aim for airgapping of sorts, and even that’s not immune.

I’m going to be on the job hunt soon, this will be helpful.

Out of body experience, the illusory perception that you’re hanging outside of your body, people that have NDEs (near death experiences) report it a lot but you can trip that sensation while very alive, people with hard core dissociation type conditions for example, other more boring things like sleep deprivation, trauma and stress, or simple meditation and perception games.

Personally no, and neither does anything/one else, its a very limited religious-brainwormed concept mostly used to just go around and call things ‘souless’ which is all in fun when its a terrible movie or something, not fun when its people and the concept is used to harm them. Its all material and its near countless interactions in many, many forms all the way up and down, in forms we know well and those we have yet to study.

During NDEs your brain glitches out as you’re basically dying (and if you’re really dead technically you’re not human anymore anyway, just sayin, the pop-mythical soul seems to imply permanent human-ness lording all existence in a linear fashion whether directly or by symbolic language) and having OBEs is nothing mystical, in fact reasonably easy to recreate when fully well and alive, so its hard to say those as some concrete evidence for a pop soul concept or against it. I think its the brain making stuff up for now since life is hard and filled with stuff it can’t handle.

A lot of things people call ‘soul’ in pop reference can be taken away quite easily by mere illness, time or even falling out of social graces.

Waste time on the internet, maybe modding or other nerdy projects

If I hear a song and like it, that works, I’mma download it since shitty rural internet, I may not be able to listen to that song on demand.

I sure AF would download a car then seed a car for all my homies

Rent

I use Firefox for desktop and PipePipe on mobile, no issues yet, when I do no more Youtube because fuck ads. This is why I datahoard as my meager datastorage allows.
