  • yisss I was also jamming on the C64, a hand-me-down from a cousin

    Eventually I had read all the books I was interested in at the local library, and the second nearest library, and the downtown library, and I was riding eight miles each way to get to the far side of town. As long as I was back by dinnertime!

  • How much do you spend on bike service each year?

    Jump

  • I'm willing to do most things but not change tires. Well worth the $18 to me.

    I get a full tune-up every couple years, so... $200/yr?

  • We read Ripley's Believe It or Not and the Guinness Book of World Records instead of Wikipedia. Urban legends were rampant. Everyone lived in constant fear of "the gum disease gingivitis".

  • 90s kid introvert here.

    I would hop on my bike of a Saturday morning, explore the town for an hour, hit the library, come home a few hours later with as many books as I could fit in my backpack.

    I'd stay up late learning to code from paperback manuals, save my games to floppies and swap them with friends at school or make my brothers play them.

    I ran a year-long pen-and-paper fantasy wargame with my friends from the Scouts, I'd spend an hour every week tabulating the results of everyone's orders and updating the map.

  • Do you believe that most people act according to their own self-interest? Is acting only according to your self-interest a good strategy in life?

    Jump

  • No, most people wouldn't recognize their own self-interest if it stopped them on the street. Neither are people all that great at identifying morally correct actions on the fly.

    This is why formulating ethics into easy-to-remember precepts is a time-honored tradition. Most people are too lazy or inexperienced to do their own ethics work.

  • What tools or systems have actually been effective for you?

    Jump

  • Bullet Journal — the original method described by Carrol, not the fancy spread-and-decoration bullshit. Write everything down as it occurs to you, indicate whether it's a note or a to-do with different bullet points, and at the end of the day decide which tasks to put in tomorrow's notes and which to discard. Date each page and list the page number in the index of it contains long-term notes (eg. quite from a contractor, birthday present ideas).

    It's easy, it's fast, and it doesn't break if you forget to do it for a day or two or two hundred.

  • Should i stay in lemmy or move to piefed?

    Jump

  • That's the neat part, you don't... have to choose. You can be on both! A set of linked alts is a very responsible way to use the fediverse; that way if an instance has downtime you have continuous identity.

  • When your the big spoon how do you keep your earthward arm from falling asleep?

  • curl it up under your chin like the statue "The Thinker"

  • what is your silliest, simple accomplishment?

    Jump

  • I was in a train station, a woman was looking for her skateboarder son who was supposed to be waiting for the next train. He wasn't there.

  • I answered a ringing payphone, just like in the movies.

  • Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness?

    Jump

  • What do you mean by "feigned happiness"? Cheerfulness?

    Because I know unpleasant people that are happy that way, and depressed people who are very cheerful. Happiness is something you have, cheerfulness is something you do.

    Though in my experience, being cheerful tends to help other people feel better and helping others makes me happy.

  • what would it be like being neurotypical?

    Jump

  • This is the thing that getting a prescription to Buproprin has helped me with the most. Seems like it would be small but it's life-changing.

  • Lemmy to Piefed migration preparations

  • “Production” to describe multiplication?

    Jump

  • IIRC that is a synonym already; and Factor » Product isn't a pun, just the what the words literally mean.
