As someone who very rarely watches series, this really hits home. I just rarely have the patience to do so, and because of that I also don't have any streaming subscriptions. I'd rather play games, because the interaction makes them a lot more rewarding to me. To each their own though, other people don't play games so they'll have the same problem with me

I've hypothesized before that he just bought Twitter to destroy a platform for "woke" people, but it's still weird reading it out like this. This whole thing reads like destroying one of the biggest social media platforms while wasting billions of dollars is about the same level of investment for him as buying a new phone is for me. Not insignificant, but also something he just does on a whim. And honestly I think his daughter will not exactly like him more after this lol. Rich cunts like Elon buying whatever they fancy just to gain more power is exactly what she'd hate if the article is to be believed.

I can't really imagine working on any code base that has to actually be maintained and doesn't have tests. The amount of times that tests have safed my ass at my job are uncountable

A VPN doesn't really protect you from Google though. They get their data through trackers, which doesn't get blocked by a VPN. Obviously I'd still not use a Google VPN, because who knows what they'd do with that data

I've been thinking this as well. I mean, at this point I don't see any reason why else he could've reasonably done this. Either he's making no sense, or it's something like this. Twitter stood for many things he's against, and he has just completely ruined it

Hmmm nope. That sounds like hell indeed

Time might not totally be money, but they're definitely in a balance. I'm currently working 40 hours a week, but considering working less. That'd also lower my wage though, obviously. Beyond that I also notice that I tend to be much more likely to spend more money to safe time (i.e. paying the bicycle shop to fix my bike tire instead of fixing it myself). More and more I'm noticing that up to some limit time is money and money is time. And so I'm going to have to put a value on my (free) time.

People here are taking this way too seriously lol. I love Python, and I never really had any issues with the indentation being used instead of curly braces or something. This is just a silly meme, not a personal attack

Running. My brain struggles to start with anything that requires a lot of actions to get started. Going to the gym, for instance, requires me to grab my stuff, bike to the gym, change clothes, and then keep switching exercises. Any of these actions require me to get over a mental "bridge", and can thus cause me to stop.

With running I change clothes, put on shoes, and just start running. I can be outside very quickly, before my brain realizes what's really going on. And once I'm going it seem to cost me more mental energy to stop than to keep going. So for my brain it's perfect. Barely any setup and almost no "bridges" to cross.

Yeppers. It triggers the brain to feel the big happy. Usually I'm not too happy when I try to start moving or when I'm just moving. But once I'm running I'll usually have some point between 0-3km where it starts feeling good. And from there on out it keeps feeling good even if I'm tired.

Me when playing Satisfactory. Although I'd rather have a bit of a flatter area

I had 10-ish beers yesterday and I can tell you now: no amount of anything would have granted me the ability to run at this point in time. I actually did consider it yesterday, but that was a completely unrealistic idea. More water earlier on the evening would've helped tho.
