Very well put!
So many people would agree that the idea behind "stop and smell the roses" is a good and healthy one. And so few people would actually do it in real life.
I would even expand what you said to include things like living intentionally and experiencing the moment are part of that general skill of finding fulfillment in a world that will never be unbroken.
I don't really do the folder of MP3s thing any more.
I am much more into the Jellyfin full of FLACs thing these days!
I bet up in the attic next to one of my sweet old Abit motherboards I have a dusty old hard drive with a folder full of music from the 90s and early 2000s.
Ah crap how did I set my battery charge interval again?
history | grep battery
history | grep bios
history | grep sudo smbios
Ah! There you are you little shit!
edit to add: Actually, I think the last time I did this I remembered some numbers I set it to before. So it worked well with something like "history | grep 75" even though there were a bunch of results.
My son just started third grade. It is actually super easy to answer questions like this if you're a kind person who allows others to keep their humanity if they are different, and if you actually cultivate a relationship with your child.
Explaining how two women parent a child? Wow, that must be tough my snoop guy. Better to just hide from the public like a little bitch, as you might say.
I mean, I've had to address things like the topic of death because of a grandparent dying young and a future sibling ending in a miscarriage. And the original due date recently passed too. oof.
But thank fucking god that in my family's weakened state, none of us were assaulted by the vile image of two women holding hands and kissing a baby on the head at the same time.
Check this out though Dogg: if you were sent back 50 years in time with white skin and no memory, within a week you'd be fighting to bring back segregation. Cunt.
Aw, don't you love searching for an update on something just for the algorithm to show you a low view count video that's a mediocre computer voice talking over a barely related slideshow?
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, which is the main full-featured flavor that basically looks like the win10 desktop at first startup.
It runs like greased lightning compared with Windows on the same machine, or any windows install I've used recently.
That was one of my favorite things about switching to FOSS in general. It is made by people who care about it being good at it's purpose, and probably use it themselves. Compare that to commercial software, where the list of stakeholders in major decisions is a mile long, and the primary stakeholders that everybody wants to please (shareholders) are often not associated in any way with the creation or the use of the program.
The last time I made an IEWMD for a gender reveal it ruined the whole evening.
Yeah absolutely. And I believe we have some really stupid laws that help that effect along. Consumers are also to blame as well, but they always are.
The "kids these days" part doesn't do much for me but the central point of "everything is amazing and nobody is happy" absolutely does.
It resonates with me because I find more wonder in the everyday stuff we take for granted than I ever did getting getting dragged into church as a kid. My first flight was 35 years ago and I still sit by the window and look at the world from that "chair in the sky" perspective the whole time.
And just to be clear, yes of course the world is full of bad shit. Our amazing technology helps is be hyper aware of that.
Most new trucks are basically just luxury SUVs for men who stomp their feet and say they want the boyyyy car, not the mom one.
Note to any offended truck owners: I said most! Some of my best friends are truck owners! :>
Actually true! And the best part is that my truck-owning friends are petite women. But they both do actual farm work in addition to their day jobs, so their trucks are beat up and dirty workhorses.
They insist on lending me a truck any time I need to do a big lumber run to home depot. You know that old saying about instead of owning X you want multiple generous friends who own X, lol.
In addition, I have been busy this summer and I have literally spent a couple grand on lumber for what is hopefully a once in a lifetime project. Believe it or not, I'm still driving an old Mazda3 and didn't have to buy a truck! (Granted, my initial purchase was so big that I would have paid the delivery fee even if I daily drove a Canyonero with a trailer)
Batteries make the current cheap renewables more practical. The cheap green energy is there but it doesn't run on our schedule.
I would suggest that nuclear both rules and sucks, lol. It could be a far safer and cleaner alternative to fossil fuels that we are still burning every second by the ton, including all the toxic and radioactive shit coal brings us.
"There's a great place to go when you're broke: to work!"
Luckily all these rugged individual landlords already know exactly where their boot straps are! Right??
