  1. Man, you speak absolute truth. I am listening to you while stabbing fabric million times with 90 different colours of threads. It is about a 3 years lasting project and it will look magnificent on the wall. Like about a dozen of other smaller ones. Peopleing is quite exhausting. The lockdowns were probably the best times of my life, plenty of time for doing diy and crafting. And sleeping as much as needed.

  2. Not sure that kids want to master walking. They just want to reach something too badly that they learn how to get there when their brain and limb control mature enough. And they want to copy us. In everything. If you kept passing to your child everything it pointed a finger at, they might not even learn to walk before the age of 3. And once they stand on their legs for the first time (after we were encourageing them for some time with physical assistance), it is a great feeling, not that they wanted to master it. It is us who motivate them, praise them, reward them, so they keep improving. Efficiency comes as a natural side effect. When they are older, then they want to master their skills, to be the best they can, again, on our prompts. We want them to be the best and sow competitivenes into them. Too many kids will become couch popatoes with parent's ignorance.

  3. Been out shopping today, barely looked at the phone... I am safe I suppose :) Never had Tiktok, btw. Insta is also kinda boring. I like quality content.

  4. Not everyone wants rich social life. People who get addicted to screens can get addicted to anything, it is their crooked dopaminergic system. Others are less prone to it, I count myself among them. There was alcoholism in my family. I don't enjoy being drunk, after a few years in my late teens when I was frequent on discos at weekends. I started smoking at 18 and quit before 20, never touching it again, while my mother never quit. I do have a lot of screen time, but only while the joy lasts. When the algorithm doesn't suggest anything I want to watch, I put my music on and carry on with my long term embroidery project. It seems to be happening more often these days as I looked through most of the patterns of content creation and their purpose for commercialism. There are other activities I enjoy doing. Phone often stays in my jacket pocket from Friday evening up to Sunday evening. I am an introvert, social life is not my thing, if I don't count social media. I used to play downloaded games on the PC, single player, they became boring from being predictable and repetitive between games, not that my dopamine signalling got harmed. Saying all that, I do take my time to get out of bed at the weekends, spending time on my tablet. But I was like that even over 25 years ago... before I touched internet for the first time. I am a night owl. I even prefer exercising at night LOL. Treadmill, weights, you name it.

  5. Horny, stupid and lonely LFMAO, that was hilarious! From my INTJ brain that used to do Zen, maybe the ultimate trick is not feeling great from doing things, but not feeling bad from not doing them. It doesn't really matter from the grand scale of thing. We are insignificant in the universe, just a grain of dust for a blink of an eye and it is over. Nobody expected us to come and nobody will remember us in a distant future. We are just watery blobs driven by hormones to procreate (in most cases). The trick is to be present and not stressing much about this or that. Do you want to do something nice? Do it. Do you feel like not doing anything? Don't feel guilty for it. The only thing you have is NOW. Have you finished eating? Now go and wash the dish. And for enhanced serotonin maybe have some banana and other tryptophan rich foods. Turkey is one, too. Remember that lever of satisfaction after Thanksgiving dinner? I have better sleep and dreams after evening banana.

  6. I can stop watching that crap pretty easily. It insults my feelings that someone thought I would find it worth paying attention to. Blocked a few AI generated channels yesterday, getting their smell and sensing which ones they are without even clicking on them. Youtube's algorithms are primitive. Never installed Tiktok and spent on Instagram maybe 3 days in total. Ignoring most reels on Fakebook too, as they often aren't what the thumbnails suggest. Blocking ads wherever and whenever, I am still enjoying some honest, authentic and worthwhile content without being interrupted by commercial brainwashing. If that will be taken from me I have a cupboard full of DVDs, cds, and charity shops are full with more materials for the good old fashioned entertainment. And moving from Microsoft to Linux gives it all a crown.
