  • You've gotten some good advice, but a really powerful fan can make a big difference here. Doesn't need to be cold so much as move as much air as possible to help the sweat evaporate.

    I used to play live music. Stage lights and dive bars can be very hot. I also sweat a lot. A squirrel cage fan blasting me full power in the face and upper body made a huge difference. It was the kind people dry flooded carpets with.

  • In absolutist terms, strongly implying a universal mindset. You're so good at this, keep trying.

  • OP: "Everything about them is wrong..."

  • I put a lot of impulse shit in my shopping list first. If I still want it over a week later, I might get it. Most of it I never get.

  • I want to see a Ken Burns treatment of The Silmarillion. Not acted out, but presented as "history" with some great illustrations, multiple narrators, and music.

  • Good for you. Simple contentment is very underrated.

  • The FOMO cavaliers vs the homebody curmudgeons. Difficult for them to be friends.

  • Some of us appreciate the variety of textures and sweet and salty together. Having different preferences is fine. Yucking a popular yum is not that cool, though. Just because you don't like something does not make it a universal wrong. Begrudgingly upvoted.

  • Upvoted for loathsome opinion.

  • Mutual respect is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing.

  • It's a cry for help. Darkly funny to some, I suppose.

  • I remember an electrician lecturing me about how a desk job is not real work. I have nothing but respect for blue collar jobs. But fuck that particular guy. If he knew how intensely boring, complicated, and time sensitive some knowledge work is, he'd STFU. I never hired him again, found a much better electrician.

  • These apps are cynically designed to extract money, not match people. They want to string you along for as long as possible. They exploit loneliness. It's disgusting.

  • Phone battery=no. Wireless audio accessories like earbuds=yes. Changing digit values vs pumping air.

  • His face looks like that one piece of chicken at the potluck that everyone rejects.

  • "I can't even take care of myself, but I'm going to bring a bunch of children into the world to suffer my consequences anyway."

    No, THAT shit is selfish.

  • One of the best takeaways from the Wizard of Earthsea books. Ambition can be poison.

  • Tastes vary widely of course. There is more content now than ever, and the majority of content has always been crap. Finding gems has always been a challenge, but they are out there. Some of the best streaming shows I've ever watched in my life are recent ones.

    Movies, I don't watch much anymore, but with some effort I can usually find something I enjoy.

    Games, I'm older, so don't enjoy them very often, but I had an absolute blast playing some sandbox games on Steam not too long ago. And I had even more fun playing OpenXCom. (Which is a very old game, but it's been updated.)

    And there are thousands of great books to read. That's one antidote for short attention spans.

    I know Lemmy hates AI, but ChatGPT pretty decent at suggesting titles from all of these forms of entertainment if you tell it your likes and dislikes.
