TIL.

This is going to be my new phrase…sorry, I can’t do that right now as my ego is depleted.

There are evidence based tips from behavioural psychology you can use to help. Some examples…

Will-power is a finite resource in the day, so if exercise is left to the end of the day then it is easier to leave out.

If you keep your exercise clothes laid out then it removes that barrier and makes it easier to get up and go to exercise. When I get home from work I change straight into gym clothes even if I’m not going to work out for another couple of hours.

Keep a TV show/audio book that you are excited about, that you only ever watch in the gym. Then you can never progress the story without going to the gym.

What’s next? 8 hours sleep?

People here are mostly nice compared to mainstream platforms.

Try disagreeing with the hive mind. Anyone can be nice to someone who echo’s their own opinion. The real niceness of a person is revealed when they can show civility to people they disagree with (I’m not talking about LGBTQ oppressors or Nazis…there’s a huge spectrum of opinions that aren’t extreme).

Shouldn’t they be clapping and cheering even more in the last panel?

Yeah there are a bunch of benefits you can claim from the government: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check/

Healthcare is also not tied to any job or anything.

This is hyperbole. Healthcare cost might be covered, but there are a lot more expenses with being sick. Social support and housing support in the UK is laughable. Good luck if you cant work because of disability. The hospital will keep you alive…and then discharge you to the street.

Still better than America though.

“Hawk Tuah” … Buy my crypto

The majority of people seem to think of themselves as just one lucky break away from being filthy rich.

Saddam and loss…both are never far.

Really worth listening to this podcast as well. It’s a guy teaching corporate teams to make best use of AI. He goes over how to use it to get really great use by using it as a discussion rather than just asking it a question and expecting and accurate answer in the first instance

AI has been most useful for tech support for me. I wouldn’t have been able to switch to Linux completely if AI didn’t instantly find solutions for me, rather than being told by the community to read tomes of documentation.

I also use it a lot to find how to get office apps to do what I want.

I’m famous at work for being a poet, when I actually just ask AI to write a short witty poem.

You can use image generators to make nice personalised cards to share on special events.

AI can make mind maps and things like that if you tell it what you want.

“I am Pagliacci”

Yup. They took my money again as well.

Make a group in your preferred chat app (WhatsApp, telegram, discord, signal, whatever). You’re the only person in this group. Take a screenshot and share it to this group. Now you can open the messaging app on whichever device you want and the picture is right there for you.

For real though: it’s easier to convince the wife if the old TV can be sold to make the space and get some money to put towards the new one. TVs can last for decades and it’ll be a long time if you’re waiting for it to get “broken”.

I think you’d just have to buy another Synology with more bays.

I guess not

You can optimise further by doom-scrolling for another hour while you cry. Multitasking increases productivity and let’s you waste twice as much time in half the time so you can waste even more time.
