Being able to do stuff without having to mentally prepare for days/weeks/months and then abandon it because it’s just too much. I want to travel more, go on multi-day bike tours, start a business, whatever. It’s almost impossible for me because I worry too much about every single detail that could happen.

Already did. There is a project called TransFARMation who help farmers transition to 100% plant-based agriculture. The German org just started this August.

Mostly Letterboxd

So I shower relatively regular and definitely before I go out meeting people. But deodorant I keep forgetting since I started working from home when Covid began. I don’t go out often and for going to the grocery store I don’t care, so it’s not ingrained into me anymore. But I don’t think it’s so important since I just showered anyways.

I can’t say I can control what I dream but occasionally I’m aware that I’m dreaming and then I feel like I’m much more in control of the situation because I know nothing bad can really happen.

All the recent biopics were kinda meh, so I don’t really want to see another star wasted on them.

Antoine Fuqua

Well, there goes my interest in it.

I don’t know. It’s Ubisoft after all and the game seems to be very focused on ship battles and multiplayer. I don’t expect a great story or detailed environments like Red Dead Redemption 2 had.

I had a similar attack of spam calls for a while. It started the moment I answered one call and continued for months. Simply not answering was not enough. Blocking specific numbers does not help either because they change every time. I then blocked all calls not in my address book for a few weeks and that helped. I could then disable the block again and for a year only got an occasional call here and there but could ignore it based on the area code. Now it finally seems quiet.

I’m on an iPhone. Could not find any other way that would help me block spam calls that is not expensive and/or privacy invasive. So blocking everything is the only option.

A Rockstar Open World Pirate game.

Black Flag was getting there, it had good vibes, but unfortunately they had to make it an Assassins Creed game and Ubisoft doesn’t know how to do it right anyways. Rockstar does.

The oldest thing I use almost daily must be my bread knife which I bought around 2006. It was pretty cheap, the coating of the handle is peeling off, it’s a bit too heavy and not balanced well, I would not buy it again. But it works.

Selina Meyer

I’ve never thought about that and just now read about it a little more. Interesting. Would make my day to day life too complicated if I would try to consider that into my meal planning as well though.

Edit: Reading more into it, it seems bogus.

Preference is one thing but what does that have to do with being healthy? Not trying to make fun of it, just trying to understand the idea behind it.

What should separating eggs and oatmeal accomplish?

I am not young but I can’t beat Souls games. I adore the world design of Dark Souls, Bloodbourne and Elden Ring but I just can’t motivate myself to suffer through them. I know they are beatable, there are many safepoints, but I don’t have fun doing that. Still, I wish these games had a difficulty slider for anyone who just wants to enjoy the story. But that will freak out the gamer bros who think that will somehow ruin their precious game.

And it’s not like I never play anything on hard mode. Games like Sniper Elite work best in „Authentic“ mode for me. In puzzle games I always turn off any assistance if possible. But simply increasing the health bar of bosses is not my understanding of fun.

Why so many people make decisions based on emotion only, willfully disregarding scientific reasoning.

Learning languages with Duolingo, journaling, cooking apps, crosswords, browsing the Ikea app (but that could be considered doomscrolling - the doom of my bank account)
