I've really wanted to start tinkering with rasberry pi, so maybe that'll be a fun first project!

"Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on.

Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."

Yup.

I just found myself picking fights with locals on the opposite side of the political spectrum and it got bad enough that my handle was named in two different defamation lawsuits. 🤷. Luckily decent opsec made me harder to find IRL, but both cases were laughed out of court anyway.

I always feel like I'm going to miss something important, but honestly, there is nothing important happening that I can't just hear from someone else. I really want to get to the point where I wake up, throw on some clothes, and go for a walk and leave my phone at home. I think if I can do this through the fall and winter, I can do it forever.

You can run down some of the clock by making yourself a good breakfast every morning! My wife got into a real tamagoyaki kick and I've been making her one pretty much every day and it makes me pretty happy to be cooking again.

Oh shit, that's a really good one. I hate that I instinctually grab my phone and start doom scrolling. Getting rid of Twitter was a big one that helped for me.

Heyo, what have you done this month to make yourself better? (lemmy.world)
 

After what seems like a year of near constant stress, disappointment, and loneliness, I decided to stop sitting at my computer all day and start making better choices for myself. This was a really hard thing to do for me since I work from home about two feet from my entertainment area. I would end up sitting at my desk all day and neglecting things that I wanted to do and I wasn't sure why.

This month I have:

Set up the Ender 3 V2 that was sitting in my closet for two years and printed out a bunch of cool shit with my kid.

Exercised every other day to try to help myself with some vicious joint pain that has developed recently.

Kept the dishes from piling up on my desk.

Made doctor and dentist appointments.

Don't get me wrong, things are still stressful and disappointing, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time. What have you done to care for yourself lately? Digging yourself out of depression is hard and I want to hear your successes, no matter how small they are.

I'd kill Internet to it if my wife didn't leave on random free streaming shit like Pluto to play for the dogs when we leave. The steps it takes for me to get to streamio are nuts. Boot on TV -> close ad and navigation to Fire stick -> listen to auto play ad while piece of shit fire stick loads UI -> finally get to watch what I want.

My piece of shit, $1800 Vizio TV does that. I can't even default it to a specific input without clicking through an ad.

One of my favorite project mates in college was a body builder. After working together for a while, he told me that he had a 2400+ arena rating in World of Warcraft and if I told anyone he'd kill me.

This was in like 2010.
