It makes me want to mock the EU considering how much, deserved, shit the US gets. But this is just depressing. I would much prefer the US to be mocked as we get our shit, hopefully, together. Not fucking join us.

Hate this shit. How you act in private is your real self.

I got this at the start of the pandemic and it has worked out perfect for me. I would have gone for a normal Herman miller but there’s not much of used market in my location and I’m not paying HM prices.

It’s PPS, not PSS.

I had never fully lost smell or taste just kind of dulled it. However the brain fog is what killed me. It’s been 3 years and I’m just starting to feel a little better. lol or maybe I’m just more used to it.

I appreciate the recommendation and listing them out! That is actually helpful as I don’t like searching up which book is next.

I am and that’s why I read the books. I do need to get better about going into particular communities to help drive their growth.

Great recommendations. I want to read the foundation series, I’m enjoying the show, but the wait time on Libby is really long. Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors. I do need to read some of Clarke’s books but it almost suffers from “classical” must read avoidance I have lol

After Reddit shut off 3rd party apps, I came here and resolved to read more. In the previous decade I had read maybe 2 books. I think your resolution is achievable but i would make it ridiculously achievable of reading like 1 min a day.

The habit of reading is what you want and the books will come after that and chances are you will read much longer. Don’t read anything you “should” be reading. Get a “popcorn flick” equivalent that you interests you and isn’t challenging.

I agree that they are a waste for most people. I have friends that have used theirs near daily going on 20 years.

Some of the best movies/TV I’ve seen have come out in the last 10 years. I’ve watched a lot of movies and TV too. So I always find these takes funny because y’all are ignoring the 80% shit that came out in decades past like they don’t count but the 80% shit that comes out now counts more.

Seeing that many tabs gives me actual anxiety.

Yup. Once you hit a certain amount of comments on Reddit, any comment you make was completely pointless.

Yeesh, I’m trying to relax not be attacked.

I met my wife on POF. Before that, I paid for a a different service and got absolutely no where. Really hope that service is fucking dead.
