There are outliers but it’s the simple truth. Consistent exercise makes the vast majority of people feel better in almost every way. Humans aren’t built for a sedentary lifestyle.

If you’re hating exercise you should reevaluate your approach. There are tons of ways to make it fun.

If you’re getting chronic pain after exercise you should reevaluate your approach. It’s easy to injure yourself if you’re doing it wrong.

People who feel this way almost always just need to exercise more

I think meal replacement shakes are really helpful when you’re stuck in a headspace like this. I’m talking things like Soylent, Huel, etc.

If you buy the powder in bulk it is much more affordable than fast food and quite easy to prepare.

People will argue that they’re worse than whole foods, which is true, but it’s still much better than nothing, lunchables, gas station food, snacks, etc.

Beyond that I think the best thing is to try and reduce the scope of what you want to accomplish so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Instead of worrying about making food for 3 meals a day everyday. Try instead to make one meal and go from there.

It’s hard but not impossible. You’ll make less money but have much more stability.

After multiple layoffs I started freelancing. The autonomy and multiple streams of income has been great for my mental health.

You can blame crypto bros but the original owners sold out. Once a studio has been swallowed up by a conglomerate it is only a matter of time before it turns to shit.

The owners might have had no choice though because they took a ton of venture capital funding.

I’ve realized that it’s best to just avoid any company that takes VC because they will inevitably fuck everyone over.

Oh, it has promise for sure. I hope all the kinks get worked out.

It’s much slower on Linux vs Windows gaming for everything but OpenGL

I’ve also seen several reports of game crashes and major artifacts. AMD cards are way better on Linux.

It seems to have a lot of issues on Linux though. AMD is still the king on Linux if you want open source drivers and a decent GPU.

Its Linux performance leaves a lot to be desired.. not even close to the 4060 on Linux

Tax write offs don’t really work the way people think they do. You reduce your taxable income by the amount you donate but you don’t pay 100% of your taxable income to the government.

So charity is like an inverted tax where you lose 80% of your money instead of the 20% you pay to the government.

Rich people make can make it work sometimes by donating assets that have an inflated value and otherwise don’t translate well to “income”.

Businesses operate very differently because they’re taxed on profits not income. So when you hear about businesses not paying taxes it is because they’ve cooked the books to have less “profit”.

The only one I’ve heard of working really well was 3D printing copyrighted material that is usually way overpriced. Board game pieces, figurines, etc.

Thank you for pointing that out. I'm not familiar with IPFS but I tend to agree there's no free lunch here. People think you can wave the blockchain wand and free computing appears but there's always costs built in somewhere.
