I want to feel that time again when we ran a mod-packed Minecraft server with friends and we built a whole city with really creative and elaborate structures and cool tech. Everyone had their speciality and it all came together perfectly.

Nowadays none of us have the time anymore to get lost in games for weeks and months like that. Also it’s hard to get back into it after such a long pause. Everything has changed so much.

But going more retro, it would probably be starting up my new N64 and jumping around with Mario in this crazy 3D environment. Holy shit that was amazing!

Most things done to yourself still have sideeffects that might kill you after those 4 years. Not to mention pain and disabilities you already get right from the start. I don’t see how any money in the world would be worth that.

And what does playing lottery or gambling have to do with not dying? Weird question.

8 years ago I said to myself, once I get a dog I will stop smoking. At the end of that year I got a dog and stopped smoking.

I still have one. It’s not very comfortable and you have to hold it in front off you all the time, so not really a movie watching solution. Nowadays phones are too large to fit anyways.

Sure I care but what can I do besides voting?

I fear being a nuisance to anybody so I rarely ask for help, even if it’s their job. 6/10 for that, it has improved.

If it’s just for the sake of being social, then it’s a 9/10. If I don’t have obvious common ground with people it’s nearly impossible for me.

Few years back I was invited to a party of a friend where I knew no one but her (and she was super busy). The people there were just so different to me, I could not find a conversation starter and was honestly not really interested in their lives anyways. It was a horrible time and I left early.

But somehow, once I find the right hook I can be quite charming and funny and even sometimes the center of attention, even around strangers. 2/10. It really depends on the situation, vibe and people.

But even if it’s going very well, my social battery runs low after some hours and I need alone time. The less effort I need to put in the longer I can go.

Maybe the shortage was not real but imagine what would happen if it were. Rationing? Communists!

I don’t think resources would be plenty. Then look at Covid and how people behaved when toilet paper was suddenly a luxury. And then we at least had a somewhat functioning government.

I’m usually friendly but in a scenario like this it’s better to be very cautious of people.

If you manage to convert just one or two others to the cause, it’s a win already. If not, at least you are not part of the problem.

And for many of the things you listed I see a lot of progress compared to even 10 years in the past. Slow but steady.

If I understand it correctly, you’re worried about hurting Sues feelings. Talk with Sue then.

I don’t remember any of that. When my teachers would have to speak with the office (which was rare), they would go there.

Not sure what memes you are referring to. Sometimes I sit or lie in bed for a bit to get my thoughts in order, process my weird dream, listen to the birds or just enjoy not having to be in a hurry. Sometimes I just want to postpone standing up because I know I will have to sit in front of the damn computer all day again. Sometimes I stand up immediately.

Very insightful…

Ahh the times when internet cost one kidney per minute.

Wait a few months or even a year. Go on with your life. If you still want it then, buy it. Also a good way to put money on the side for this specific item, then it will hurt less.

I felt the same way already with all the content targeted at The Great Algorithm for maximum doomscrolling effect. AI is just making it easier for those people. The human part was lost already.

I do it when I’m alone too, who would I get attention from?

No idea why I make that sound, I don’t really think about it. When I try to suppress it it doesn’t feel right.

If I still have 8+ hours time I’ll throw in a Zopiclon, otherwise I’ll give up eventually and watch Youtube until the alarm goes off.
