    Only started running relatively recently so it’s not first thing in the morning but it’s a habit. I needed a way to “warm up” for the day and be physically active.

    Aside from the general hype of “it feels great” “healthy” yada yada, it gets to a point where you feel uneasy not running. Like after training my legs, they want to go for a run and be used.

    You need to account for having time (sleeping early and getting up early with naps during the day) and slowly conditioning but the most important thing is consistency. Only evaluating based on your previous efforts rather than comparing to others.






  • Made me have a healthier relationship with social media, my smartphone usage, and overall thinking. I almost exclusively used RiF and curated it enough that I could readily get lost in it for hours in threads and/or following drama.

    I knew what I liked about reddit was the mods, the 3rd party apps, and the communities, and the company behind the website was the least appealing ineffectual part of the experience. They were slow in every sense of the word and consistently made out-of-touch decisions.

    Lemmy was a great transition point for me. At first I was trying to treat it as a clone. Instead, I found a place (and the fediverse in general) where there wasn’t a mass amount of resources spent to keeping me engaged - it’s just content of the day, no strings attached.

    I found a space that was indifferent to the amount of time I spent on it, passionate communities that were more responsive and literate, and just felt more respected as a person.

    I see the main issue with anything theoretically “sound” is that humans are making the decisions. Human bias, and forgive the drama, make everything worse including science.

    Look at what we’ve done with the environment, introducing invasive species, pet-breeding, colonialism destroying literally tens-of-thousand of years of culture and people because we thought we were “right”.

    There’s an inherent arrogance that’s led us into this mess and only recently some have thought to ask "hey, these people and culture have lived and thrived without disrupting the natural ecosystems, let alone cause measurable changes to the climate - maybe they’re experts in how to survive and nurture this place?

    People will use whatever justification the can readily grab to do incredible destructive things and forgo responsibility by referring to science or religion alike. We can do better.






  • YMMV but I think a healthier approach to backlogs in general is understanding it’s okay to leaving something unfinished, not be immediately hooked, or revisit it when you’re in the mood.

    As long as you tried the game and realise it’s not for you (in the moment or later) then you don’t need to finish. Playing games should be like travelling and visiting places - you’ll likely never see all of it and that’s okay.
