A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy https://a.co/d/7hSGeJF

This is where I started. I didn’t even end up finishing the book, but the concept changed my life.

It’s interesting how people often miss important details when they do self portraits. It’s probably intentional here to miss the glasses because he drew the glasses on the reflection and the artist himself, but I had an art teacher who did his self portrait and forgot his mustache.

Ask them if they think their mom is also that way. If they say yes, then you know you can't change their mind, and drop the subject.

New experiences will keep loneliness away. Go to a nearby city and try a new restaurant there after visiting some new place there. It’s all about perspective. These days if I get 3 days alone, I’d be very happy.

Read up on stoicism

I personally think 7 yo is too young for them to rationally understand things like that, and it’s not really a big deal at 7. I know there are perverts around, and teaching stranger danger is good, but you didn’t have to give her this lecture at this point. If anything you should have told the parents about it, because they are the ones who dressed her up that day.

That seems like an ask Lemmy question. Here you’re supposed to give a thought, not a question.

I bought a canon color laser printer two years ago with the starter toners. After about 6 months or so, warning came that one of the colors is empty. It was still printing fine so I continued printing. One by one, warning came for all colors, so I bought a 3rd party toner set, but still didn’t replace them because they were still printing fine. 2 years later, I’m still getting warnings that all colors are empty, but just the other day, I printed color pictures of all the 700 Pokémon for my daughter. They’re still going good. I don’t know if they’ll ever actually run dry, or if I should preemptively replace the toners.

It’s watercolor brush pens, but she’s using them like they’re normal markers lol.

Thank you, I’ll pass it on.

Thank you, that’s kind of you to say. She’d be so thrilled to hear that.

This is cursed
