You can argue the semantics all you want, but “highly processed foods”, despite the difficulty/ambiguity in defining them, tend to have both a higher calorie density and are proven…

I’m not going to pretend AI isn’t useful, but I’m begging you to look deeper into the arts! That this tech has “given you much more joy than any artist have come close to” is a pre…

AI would do a horrendous job of summarizing it; the tone/impact wouldn’t hit without the visuals and timing/pacing.

Loneliness sucks man, I’m sorry. :( It’s really interesting that lack of connection is what you jump to immediately as the cause of your sense of meaninglessness. I wonder what “th…

Did it work? Did the company fare well?

I’ve been journaling regularly all my life; I consider myself a journaling expert! I’ve gone through dozens of hardcover Moleskines and a couple Hobonichis, and countless other ran…

Did you always feel this way? If not, how far can you trace it back? I don’t have any particular expertise in the subject, just curious and willing to listen if you’d like to talk …

One alternative is blurring the face of anyone who hasn’t given you permission to broadcast. This has been the accepted standard in Japan for a while.

Same. If I have breakfast it seems to kickstart my metabolism or something idk. The result is, if I have breakfast, I’m distracted by hunger all morning. If I skip breakfast I can …

Same. 9 months into quitting socials I feel like I got a new brain. I’m appreciating my surroundings and noticing the cadence of the day more than I have in years. I’ve been killin…

> I often fail to finish projects simply because I forget about them. I start reading a book, but I don’t write it down anywhere (say, in Goodreads) that “I’m reading this book” is…

Obsidian, along with my notes on everything else in life. I made an Apple Shortcut that saves the contents of a webpage along with its links to my Obsidian as markdown text and as …

Does anyone else find the constant AI-generated images in blogs these days extremely frustrating? They never seem to add anything of value to the article. Just more distractingly c…

I have the same experience. Until 30 I was one of those people who schedules every hour of their life, used habit trackers religiously, set SMART goals and recorded metrics of how …

You’ve captured an elusive sentiment so well! AI is (often, not always) good at generating the “Platonic ideal” of something. It falls apart ime when you’re confronting a specific …

Yes, while the author’s site is made for humans, it seems like a majority of the web is not. So we get what was coming to us, with AI condensing the content that was intentionally …

I’ve recently had a couple people try to help me fix code issues by handing me the results of their AI prompting. 100% slop; it made absolutely no sense in the context of the probl…

Pen on paper is so inefficient that it both forces you to be selective about your records, and to paraphrase and condense thoughts in a way that I suspect prompts deeper thought. T…

Nowhere in the article did this seem to equate to a “mental breakdown” in my view either. Your perspective on this might be flavored by your own non-universal values/experiences.

Personal blogs are also a fun place to discover things. They often recommend other interesting, hidden sites. I have luck with WordPress, Tumblr and Substack.

It’s so difficult to tell the quality of things online, I’ve returned to buying almost exclusively from brick-and-mortar stores. If they don’t have it, I just don’t buy it. It’s le…

My fiance developed an intolerance to alliums (onion, garlic) and mushrooms around the start of COVID, though he had never tested positive for the virus. Low-Fodmap diet helped us …

Seconded. I was extremely impressed when in response to one of my emailed questions, they directly contacted a manufacturer to ask about the acid content of a particular paper. But…

This sounds a lot like Existentialist philosopher Jean Paul Sartre’s concept of living/acting “in bad faith.” You might be interested to read more about it: https://philosophybreak…

In contrast to this, there’s something really special about finding your little niche of fans. There are about 6 or 7 people on Tumblr for whom I make a lot of my art (though it’s …
