Don’t let your dreams be dreams
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
I was able stop drinking pop fairly easily as a teen, but I still had problems with drinking other super sugary drinks like V8’s “fruit” juice or Simply Lemonade.
One thing I did was start drinking tea, particularly fruity flavors. Those are rather flavorful for teas and helped wean me off those other sugary drinks.
Plus with tea basically being flavored water, it made the jump to drinking straight up water even easier. I still drink tea, mind you, but I also drink a lot of straight water.
This implies we’ll need customized times for every large celestial body. And that we may need to look into a “universe background time” and use that as the new baseline. Kind of like how we have GMT.
Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That’s statistically significant right there.
I see a k following the numbers, so I’m assuming that’s total number of downloads.
Huh, I never knew of ARFID, but that fits me particularly well, especially as a kid. I will have to dig into this more.
For me, I found a relatively healthy comfort food (yogurt with granola; sometimes with berries) and have that for lunch most days. The granola makes it easy to load up on calories/carbs while it, and the yogurt, also provide a good amount of protein. Berries can add a bit of fiber. It’s always delicious for me. I’ve been eating it consistently for years now and I’ve yet to get sick of it. However if you’re lactose intolerant, this might not be a viable option.
Edit: reading the comments reminded me of another thing: protein shakes. I buy a container of whey protein mix from Walmart/Meijer and mix that with a glass of whole milk when I don’t have the energy to make anything. It is delicious. The strawberry one tastes like strawberry milk and the vanilla one tastes just like vanilla ice cream but in milk form.
Water can be used in place of milk if you don’t have any, or are intolerant, but it’s nowhere near as good; it’s just not the same.
It would be nice if I had more healthy comfort foods, but that’s a work in progress.
Otherwise I supplement with a multivitamin to make sure I’m not deficient in anything.
My thought process was always, 'It’s better to not say anything at all than to accidentally say the wrong thing."
If I recall correctly, the shareholders also can and will sue you if you make a decision that earns them less money than if you had done something more profitable for them. So the companies have a legal incentive to only serve their shareholders.
There’s actually two Switch emulators. Ryujinx is the other one. I’ve tried both and they’re both solid options.
This is the big thing. There are multiple niche, and not-so-niche, subreddits that just don’t exist here. Or they have nowhere near the presence as on Reddit.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to fix that by contributing where I can, but I am just one person.
This is only the beginning. It’s only going to get harder and harder to know what is and isn’t real online.
Sure, you and I are aware of this and have an idea of what to look out for. But do my older parents or grandparents know about this stuff and what to look for? I seriously doubt it.
I, too, prefer talking online/through text than verbally. It gives me time to collect my thoughts and put them in to words. In person I often fumble over my words. Or swap words in a sentence.
I also don’t have to worry about people interrupting me to chime in with something while I’m speaking. That always throws me off my thought process and it leaves me kind of scrambling for a response. Which almost always defaults to a short, one or two word answer.
This also happens to make job interviews one of the most stressful things for me to ever deal with. It is so mentally exhausting trying to give good eye contact, have a friendly facial expression, not stim, and then answer whatever curveball questions they throw at me in a timely manner.
0/10 do not recommend.
For me it’s one of the two sets my parents use. One set is smooth, shiny, and nice to hold. The other has lots of detail which looks neat, but is unenjoyable to hold. So I avoid them whenever I can.
I didn’t want to risk damaging it as I needed it for work. It was much safer to upgrade and then try to experiment with the S8. There’s also the fact they stopped giving the S8 security updates, so that’s a big concern, too.
After having used the S23, I couldn’t go back anymore. It’s significantly better in most ways. I always keep battery saver mode on which stops charging at 85%. With how much I use my phone, the charge rarely goes below 40%.
I did try Sony’s 5 IV before the S23. I really wanted to love it, but as a photographer, there were some fatal flaws with the camera apps. It had so much going for it, too: 5000 mAh battery (S23’s is 3900 mAh, S8’s is 3000), audio jack, microSD card slot, removable SIM card, 4k OLED screen, a dedicated shutter button for the cameras, and can record 4k 120Hz video, if only for a literal minute.
If you don’t plan on using your phone for more professional photos (even though that’s kind of what they market it for…), I would recommend checking out their lineup.
Edit: Oh, and Sony only officially supports their phones for two years. Compare that with Samsung’s 5. So that’s another thing to consider.
I upgraded mine to an S23 last March. Main reason was because the battery could no longer last through the day. Otherwise I was perfectly content with it.
I used to do that a lot back in middle school. Then a girl made fun of me for it, so I stopped and would only listen to it in my head.
Checked it out and learned there’s Thursday Night Dodgeball near me. Ok, this is actually useful.
