I know it's a random voice in the void, but I sincerely hope it's benign.

Rain and wine can be delightful if you're in the right mood for it.

I hope you find yourself soon in a place where getting buzzed and gaming is a positive instead of negative

Cheers 🤜

For me it's watching steve1989 MRE reviews on YouTube. Dude has the chillest voice and demeanor, and the content is just engaging enough to keep my mind from spiraling off onto random shit, but not exciting enough to keep me awake. The only problem is waking up to my phone on the floor or buried God knows where in my sheets.

And just in case Steve browses Lemmy, I also like watching his videos while awake too! 😄

I always thought it was redeye love, in the same context as a redeye flight.

The definition given is almost word for word the definition of an engineering mindset, regardless of field.

I'd say it's not a bad way to think about your life as well, as long as you limit the scope to things you realistically have the ability to impact and focus most of your energy on the actual problem solving.

It can be tough to break from habitual behavior in the moment (i.e. when you're reaching for a snack). Instead try putting some effort on making it harder or more inconvenient to indulge in that habit, while also giving yourself alternatives so it doesn't feel too torturous and make you want to give up.

For example, I'm guessing it will be a lot less emotionally "painful" to resist buying those snacks when you're out grocery shopping than it will be to resist grabbing them when they are already in your pantry. Use that to your advantage and stop buying the worst ones and try replacing them with a few healthier alternatives so that when the urge to snack hits at least the worst options are not available to you.

I'm hardly the healthiest eater, but a good apple sliced up satisfies a lot of my urges to snack. Baby carrots with hummus also keep your mouth busy and fill you up with relatively few calories. Try a few fruit/veggie snacks to see if any scratch your itch to snack. You don't have to change 100%, if you can break the junk food habit even 1/4 of the time, that's a step.

Another thing that's worked for me is portion control. Instead of bringing the whole bag of chips with you, pour a bowl and leave the rest in the kitchen. You might go back for seconds sometimes, but it still creates a barrier to eating more.

I think the most important thing is don't try to make it all or nothing. That will just set you up for failure and frustration. Take steps that are meaningful but achievable. And when you have the motivation, try to think of ways to set yourself up for it to be easier to make good choices when you have less motivation. You got this 💪

Edited to add: I know it's kind of pithy to respond with just a link, but that's really all there is to it. Like "a gentleman and a scholar" or "full of win", it's just a phrase that someone typed out of hyperbole, and people latched onto it, turning it into a meme.

Hey, it's one of those low-effort hot takes I was talking about!

Sorry, the fact you're being downvoted for this is kinda funny.

As a generally left-leaning person, lemmy absolutely has a leftist demographic, and most politics-related threads are full of upvoted low effort hot takes, while relevant but unpopular opinions tend to get downvoted.

But, then again social media is gonna social media...
