  • I know it’s a joke but I’ve legit curbed my snacking habits by eating a single chip as slowly as I possibly can.

    A bit tough at the start but over time, that need to inhale yummy foods does reduce. Would recommend trying!

    And now you’ve given me a new way to level up in Zen. Going to win Zen so hard, you’ll be eating my Cheese & Jalapeño flavour dust.



  • Was not aware of bookwyrm so thank you. Having some community definitely helps with motivation.

    Funnily enough, How Democracies Die is technically on my hard books list that I simply can’t get past the first chapter. It’s tricky to find time and determine what is a worthwhile struggle vs just a unworthwhile pain.

    Appreciate your answer and recommendations! Will have to take it 2 pages at a time as you say haha.








    Ouch.

    But thank you? a. For considering my attempt at formatting and absurdity with clankers. I would argue that to be human is to accept the absurdity of it all. But I guess it is getting tricky…

    Out of curiosity, I did ask some llms my baby throwing question:

    • perplexity just straight up said no. Unethical question.
    • Chatgpt treated it like a physics problem. All while asking me about technique…
    • deepseek gave a balanced reply. Followed by “Do not attempt”. Which I thought was fair.

    b. For at least entertaining my notion I understand that it’s all subjective… that’s why I was trying to define a scale, or at least a comparison.

    c. You did help me get closer to an answer. If I take a loose definition of Trust as being my ability to predict its behaviour [and its ability to not harm me] (which I think is fair but arguable…), I would trust a rock more than an adult (and somehow even a baby more than an adult). In my hypothetical world, a trusted consenting adult would help me throwing them thus increasing the overall distance. So the positive correlation is more fitting in most cases (at least in that assumption).

    I fully acknowledge the absurdity and the stupid premise. I thought this was nostupidquestions.

    {Edited to try fix formatting… Ugh can’t. It stays. Thank you for bearing with me! Hope you have a nice day.}

    Dang, hope you’re ok.

    Shit does suck but you will be surprised at your agency, looking back, however small.

    I pray you mean self deletion in a digital or a metaphysical context. In which case, would recommend. Everyone needs a level of ego death to thrive. If struggling, then there are books you can read, activities to experience, drugs you can take and interesting people you can meet (therapy is great for ego death) to help shake your framing of reality.

    Sending you good wishes stranger. And my fav quote recently.

    “If you look for the light, you may sometimes find it. If you look for the dark, that’s all you’ll ever see.”
