Sounds like I have a pretty similar office job and I used to have similar problems with the exhaustion. There’s a few things that really helped I think. The first was to be more active at work. Obviously there’s a limit to what you can do, but don’t pass up any opportunity to get up, walk around, and stretch your legs. If you can take a break/lunch outside then do that. If you have some days where you don’t have too much work to do and it kinda feels like you’re just sitting there with no sense of time, or you’re just watching videos to pass the time, try to find something to do instead. Pick up any trash/misplaced things around the office, reorganize files, have a chat with co workers. This all helps to prevent the exhaustion, I’ve found. Then, when I’m out of work, I try to have non-gaming things to do. Like family dinners on fridays. This helps me feel like I do more than just sit behind a desk all day every day, and it makes it feel like more of a treat when I do sit down to game. I don’t know if these will work for you, but they’re worth a shot if you haven’t tried them I guess

Thank you! This helps a lot bc I was worried I’d have to become a Linux master just to use one of these emulators

I’ve been seriously considering getting the anbernic sp but I know nothing about Linux (interested in Linux, hence being here, but not a tech person so), and very little about emulation honestly. Do you have any recommendations or advice for beginners? I’ve tried reading guides that say they’re for beginners but then they talk about knulli and stuff and I get real confused

Right? Like I’d LOVE to be proven wrong and for this to actually help our economy and the middle class. It’s just that I’m realistic and can see that this is much more likely to lead us to a recession instead

The drive thru pharmacy I go to just has like a shelf thingy they can lift and push down. Not one of those cool tubes :(

Oh shit you’re right. I think I vaguely remember banks having those when I was really young. I mostly remember the suckers they’d give us tho. Fuck those things are cool tho. We should bring them back

Wait those pneumatic tube things are real?? I always thought it was like 1960s sci-fi. Like what they thought the future would be like

Based on how the first attempt went, I feel like “how easy it will be” isn’t going to be too much of a roadblock either

Yes, but not even the sexy kind of vampire

Yes, but also, the craziest people will say either A. That the pastor should be the one preaching (like the people in this case did) or B. That that’s really just politics (even if you’re literally quoting there Bible), and politics should stay out of the church

The hamster just sitting there doesn’t surprise me. The thing that I question is whether they picked him up at all to try and feed him or see if he was okay. Because surely if they picked him up then he would’ve perked up and moved around? Or at least moved and ate a bit?

Thank you!! I’m gonna watch these when I’m done with work tonight!

A video about pirates? Can I get the name and channel please?

What’s night media? Also what do you mean he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is? Does he donate to Trump or something?

Not who you responded to, but can you share why you don’t like Hasan? I’ve mostly just seen clips of him talking with AOC and Bernie and when he covered the writer’s strike. I don’t know much about him and his content otherwise so I’m wondering if there’s more I should know?

Ffs I literally just got proton. Fuuuuuck that

They’re not complaining about not being able to share memes in the way they want. They’re complaining that, in the example they shared, they didn’t choose to share the reel with their friend, instagram just automatically did it. And they couldn’t find a way to turn that feature off. Furthermore, there’s a certain anxiety that many people have bc of how immediate and constant social media is. Like how read receipts put you on a timer to respond bc if you don’t respond fast enough then people think you’re ignoring them. Or if they see you posting or like some posts and not theirs or not responding to them, then they might get upset with you. So it feels like you have to constantly manage all of your relationships all at once bc there’s constantly a spotlight on everything you do if you use social media to connect with your friends in any way. Like are there alternatives? Yeah, but unless you really limit your friend group, there’s gonna be people who prefer to contact you via social media. It’s hard to avoid completely

If your dad can’t respect your privacy and stop sharing your personal info, then it might be time to limit what you tell dad to only strictly necessary things and make sure he knows it’s bc he can’t be trusted right now

There’s virtually no difference between this and divine right to rule. The rich deserve to be rich bc they worked hard is basically the same as God rewarded them with riches for being good. Either ways it’s just saying the rich deserve to be rich bc they’re better. And some of the common people have always gone “hey I’m pretty sure the only difference between us is what families we were born into”

Even if we put aside the poor taste jokes and insults, sharing private conversations like what OP said his friend did is wrong and especially shitty since their purpose was to mock the other person
