I mean, I can certainly tell whether a movie is objectively good or bad while watching it, but that rarely correlates with my enjoyment of the movie. I can separate "this is really badly made/has bad writing/is a ridiculous premise" and "this is a fun distraction from the daily routine".

I kind of feel like being unable to make that separation and not being able to enjoy movies that are "bad" must be an exhausting and miserable experience.

Oh, I definitely agree on the local deliveries but. But you also mentioned going back in time a decade as part of your plan.

You'll have my vote for king as soon as you provide the time machine to enact your plan

I'm also a millennial, and I think it depends a lot on rapport as well. If you regularly talk with someone in text form, and consistently use punctuation, it probably doesn't come off as passive aggressive than if you suddenly respond with the trailing period. It also probably makes one-word responses a lot more abrupt.

I agree with above, replying "Cool!", or "That's cool!" would likely go over much better in that context

Half-Life, Thief, and the original Sims games (City, Ant, etc) were my original gaming go-tos!

What are these "real jobs" you speak of? At the absolutely very least, teachers typically also have off for many federal holidays, are you saying that isn't a "real job"?

Yeah, the problem isn't that the big trucks exist. There is a place for them, always will be. But they shouldn't be a commuter vehicle, the majority of owners never use them for their intended purpose, and even those that do need a truck rarely need one of the size they get.

They are saying it is more general than money or information, that those are power but those specifically are not special. If we had a society without money, something else would occupy the same purpose of the psychological need of humans "to get more" to be on top.

They aren't saying "money isn't important to that", they are saying "money isn't important to that".

As someone else that doesn't go to a gym, it is a combination of: they enjoy working out or do so for another reason, they don't have the space for gym equipment at home, they can't afford to buy and maintain the gym equipment they want to use, the gym they attend offers classes or personal training guidance, they enjoy the atmosphere and encouragement of working out with other like-minded individuals.

It isn't something magical, it may just not be for you.

I play both Star Citizen and DRG without any issues on Linux (I use Arch btw).

For Star Citizen you need to run the installer through a compatibility layer like Lutris, but then it should install and work fine (though I haven't played in about half a year, so more recent changes may have broken things). For DRG, I just installed through Steam. I don't even think I'm using GE or anything and just running it native.

Vital to get into the habit of only putting clutter in that spot, though. Having a physical inbox is useless if you still put junk everywhere else (unless you are really good at scanning the rest of the areas to declutter to the inbox).

I do want to add in that driving slowly isn't safer, but driving predictably is. If it is easier for you, driving slowly is fine, but be sure to use directionals and other signals to indicate intent to other drivers, make sure to follow the signs and rules of the road consistently, and be aware of the other cars around you who may drive eradically if they are getting frustrated.

Being able to multitask well is fundamental with driving safely, and keeping your speed low is one way you can reduce that mental load. But driving slowly on its own will not do anything to keep you safer. (Rather, low speed collisions are safer, but driving slow won't necessarily prevent collisions or accidents on its own.)
