I think I'm doing well all things considered, thanks!
The only reason I can't speak for certainty is because of my anxiety from well.. gesters at what's happening to my country. This anxiety is also making my executive distinction worse which is probably my biggest day-to-day challenge at the moment.
Yeah, my e-reader tells me about how many pages I read in an hour, or something like that, and it was kind of fun to see how fast my reading got over time. I think I've plateaued though 😅.
I have a strange remedy (that worked for me of course. YRMV): take up reading of you currently don't.
I admit it was a long journey to call myself a "gamer" again, but hear me out.
I'm a 30 year old dude who works long hours. I got myself into the trap of, "oh I don't have time to play this game, maybe some other time." When I found I did have time, the games just weren't holding my attention. "This game isn't immediately fun, and when am I going to have this much time to play again? Playing this is a waste of time. Might as well watch TV or something." Sure, every now and then a game like vampire survivors would come up, I'd be addicted to it for a week or two, and then stop. But big games with stories or something? Forget about it.
I started reading books at bed time. A chapter or two at a time. Eventually I would find a few books I couldn't put down and I read them all the time. This started scratching itches I have completely forgotten about. Some sort of deep thinking itch that was also fueled with curiosity and wonder. Reading books also re-taught me to be more patient too. It's not like I can completly absorb a story while skimming pages, right?
At some point, my headspace around my leisure time changed. If I can be happy enough just sitting down a few hours reading, then what's stopping me from being happy playing video games?
I bought Baulders Gate 3 finally and now I can't stop playing it.
It's hard to explain, but it's almost as if I've re-learned how to enjoy my time again. If only I could sedate my anxiety about everything else going on in the world. 😅
But take up reading! Try to just read 15 or 30 minutes a day. One doesn't need to completely stop doom scrolling. Just taking a break from it. Don't go into it with the headspace of "if I read, I will enjoy gaming." Just focusing on enjoying the book.
Worst case scenario? You might not be into gaming, but hey, you're a reader now!
You say that but yet they refuse to make an official moopsy plush. I would go all in on moopsy but noooo
Whenever they print out "I did that" Drump stickers, they should print out these too.
Either do something or stfu, traitor.
IMO from personal experience I tend to half care.
I personally wouldn't leave in, "Edit: a word," but if I change the substance of a comment in any meaningful way I like to leave an edit to say what changed.
Particularly for when someone already replied to my comment or may already be replying to my comment. I would be afraid of accidentally trying to gaslight someone lol.
Right?
When I was younger, I'd try to "buy American" but over the years I've slowly stopped caring for the same reasons you've described.
Now, I'm purposefully looking for non-american origins. As long as it's sustainable, I'll be buying more Canadian, Mexican, and European products now.
Yesh my googlefoo skills failed me today. Thank you muchly!

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS TO MY MAGA FAMILY MEMBERS FOREVER.
The punishment for hiring undocumented workers and paying them under the table is a gentle pat on the wrist. If you absolutely cared about, "they're stealing our jobs!" then you would be mad at the people giving your jobs away.
If you truly weren't cruel, then why not focus on stopping the abuse and going after the leeches instead of even further punishing those that just want to work for a good life?
Title is pretty much everything!
I have these high up windows that I'd like to clean and maybe in the future install curtains on. I guestimate the wall being 20ft (6m) tall.
For other rooms in the house I typically use an A-Frame, but it's impossible to find an A-Frame to reach that high where I am.
I plan on draping a towel over the top of the ladder to prevent scratches and scuffs on the wall, as well as getting a rubber mat or something if the floor seems slippery. I am just not sure if drywall would support a ladder? Especially near the frame of the windows. Maybe there's something else I'm not considering as well?

Hey, you should smile less!
