Luckily I’d booked a massage for today with a wonderful person.

I default to absurd but what I appreciated reading about stoicism was that it made me feel more grounded. Ridiculousness makes me feel expansive and unpredictable and I wasn’t finding a bottom to that.

Thanks, this is good advice.

So uh… what’s the right attitude to deal with this assuming we get a Trump? And I mean personally. I lean towards absurdism.

Because it’s not fun

Id expect more voting and less comments in political posts just because people may want to avoid direct conflict with other users. I’m iffy on the whole up/down thing in general though.

I replaced mine with a usb cable. No batteries.

It’s unbearable if I try watching a game alone but if I’m watching and drinking with a friend the board/banner ads and commercials become comical. They could limit the use of distracting colours in the ads if they are going to ice level but apparently not.

Make good use of the community/user block feature and it cleans up well. It took me a couple times going back and forth but I’m done with reddit at this point, at least for general scrolling ‘all’ sort of content.

The obvious ones like cats, linux, and star trek but also meta-posts like these, comics, non-political memes, greentext, bikes, general technology. There are collapsniks and conservatives have been trying to settle recently. There’s a wide variety of niche content but they are small enough that for every 10 visitors you need someone to post something. There’s a lot here, it’s small compared to extremely large sites but is still an active message board.

yes and no

Don’t forget to try sorting by comments instead of posts! I often forgot that button exists.

About 20 and growing. I also do it for my mental health. Social media isn’t a place I want to take too seriously so my blocks are about avoiding people who seem agitated or seeking to create or participate in conflict with other members.

I’m thinking about clearing out my blocks every year just to get a sense of the land again, maybe when I’m feeling better I’ll do that.

140 in 2 months sounds like a lot to me. Are you not blocking communities? That might be more efficient?

Same here but I remind myself that multiple things can be true at once just like I can feel multiple conflicting emotions or hold conflicting thoughts or opinions.

I don’t. I might try to hit that once or twice a week but generally just increase the ratio or protein in my diet. There are tons of meal plans if you want to grind it but it just doesn’t work for me and I stopped trying to force it.

Not really I’m more just presenting an alternate explanation. Don’t mistake me for holding strongly to this opinion, but I do feel like calling OP out as a narcissist or whatever is an unfair snap judgment. People can be different and that doesn’t make them bad most of the time.

It’s an explanation, those use words.
