I don't know the difference between legendary and mythical Pokemon and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

I just made myself sad by remembering the time when the person who I considered my best friend told me about his friend from school, who he consyto be his best friend and was planning on making him his best man some day. And having seen the two together it's so very obvious that my friend is so, so much closer to his best friend than I am to him. It shouldn't be a big deal but sometimes it would be nice not be a secondary member of every group I'm in
I can only speak to my experiences but I know that when I'm really lacking in mental energy, its because I'm not really giving my body what I should be. On days where I binge eat and stay inside all day, I won't have the energy to actually enjoy playing video games and I usually end up switching between games every hour out of boredom and then scrolling between three apps on my phone. On days where I eat a proper breakfast, don't skip lectures, socialise, get outside for a bit and do a bit of exercise I feel a lot better and more energised.
Just doing one productive thing can make a day feel like its valid for me. Doing some drawing, writing, baking, reading, exercise, etc make a day feel much more worthwhile and will energise me a lot more than playing video games all day
I've been feeling really bad about my body recently because I'm overweight, and feeling bad just makes me want to eat food for comfort. How do I break out of this
I don't even know what there is to do with my name
Ah thanks, chess have uploaded it to YouTube. I'll check this out today
I haven't listened to the podcast in years but I really hope Matt recovers. He's a brilliant thinker and has provided so many insights, and was always the most entertaining part of anything he was involved in.
Do these get archived? I'd like to watch this but I'm going out tonight
Barely related, restaurants used to give out free bread. I haven't had free bread in a restaurant possibly since 2008. Also some places charge like 3 euros for a jug of tap water which is ridiculous
I just had a memory of one time when I was about 10 or 11 and my dad asked me about the trolley problem, and asked what I would do. I thought it was some kind of riddle with a clever answer that I wasn't seeing, so I kept trying to find ways around it until he told me that I only had two options, pull the lever or don't.
I don't remember what I said but I just think its really weird that I was eating my mashed potatoes one day and my dad was like "well my child is at the age where they must learn about moral conundrums". He didn't even have any kind of point to make he just asked me what I thought about it
It's been a little while since I read the Republic, but I mainly remember thinking "Socrates shut the fuck up for a second and let Thrasymachus talk".
Socrates spends the entire first chapter going "ooh I don't know what justice is but you're so wrong Thrasymachus, you're so clever so you must know how wrong you are :)" and then when Thrasymachus storms off from this infuriating debatelord Socrates turns around and goes "actually I do know what justice is lol. Justice is when there's an insane totalitarian state where people are assigned untermensch and untermensch when they're born and there are rigid class systems"
