There's an age gap to female gamers. Videogames were marketed to boys and not girls in the 80's and the gender disparity stuck for a long time. It's much more even for under-twenties.

In a familiar situation (at work, getting my kids ready for school) I just look around for all the things I can see need doing and do whatever is highest priority.

In an unfamiliar situation (eg. trying to schedule back-to-school checkups) I flounder. I still look around for all the things I can see need doing, but;

  • I don't always know what needs doing

  • I don't always know how to do it

  • I tend to do not the highest-priority task but the one with the lowest cost / barrier-to-entry

  • I will be fighting my anxiety, related to the first two points, the whole time

I have found no software solution, premade or coded by myself personally, that beats a pen & paper bullet journal.

I recently tried one that boasted about how it used AI to help organize your tasks, but it didn't and couldn't do the one thing I needed it to, which is automatically populate a daily to-do list with suggested tasks.

Take a glass of water, bend over forward, drink from the opposite side of the glass while your head is upside down. Drink the whole thing. Cured!

I hear it more in-person recently, but also online. What does "out-of-pocket" mean when describing behavior? I've only ever heard it used to describe financial circumstances until a couple years ago.

It seems like it's roughly synonymous with "crazy" or "rude" or "unexpected", but I'd love to have it explained better.

Neoliberalism is itself a postliberal framework that rejects many central tenets of classical liberalism.

I very much doubt Harris is on the side of waitresses. But that doesn't matter, because the reasons I have to vote for her aren't based on narrow economic self-interest.

Rereleasing an old game has costs. Doing it for free has costs but no profit. It's simple math.

Well me, I'm a waitress. If my coworkers don't wanna work I tell them to take the cut and go home, then I stay and make more money. And while they're there, if they wanna hide in the back instead of monitoring the floor, well, I shark their tables. Gotta work to make money, honey.
