Car broke down en route to airport, got towed, took an uber praying I wouldn’t miss the flight, missed the flight anyway, soonest they could rebook me for was like 14 hours later (would have left me stranded at the airport all day), had to pay $300 for a connecting flight to get home on time
This take I agree with. The only time I check bags (not including when there’s limited overhead space) is when I’m flying home for Christmas and need to bring a bunch of gifts to and from.
Even though it’s tough, I think it’s probably good you are trying to stay moving
my coworker received three months of short term disability payment from her maternity leave all as a lump sum once she finally returned to work which is extremely inconvenient and hopefully not the case for you
Probably the best comparison is pornography or social media. It might interact negatively with certain mental health issues or personalities but overall is not associated with the gross functional and medical impairment typical of alcohol abuse or disordered gambling.
Couldn’t agree less! I’ve missed one flight in my life and it was a nightmare!

Might be time to go to cvs and get a replacement

meaning: biology/fate/god gave me a body that is ugly, severely nearsighted, at risk of certain major medical conditions, prone to bouts of depression, and liable to gain a ton of weight if I dont starve myself. ALL of this can easily be overcome with science and medicine. I control my destiny.
confront physical sensations. get to know your body.
to plan is to use my laptop rather than my phone as much as possible on the logic that screen size is inversely proportional to how evil the device is
thank you for this info
today was a good day but tomorrow, oh buddy, tomorrow is going to be even better
my sister sent me a video delineating what people mean when they talk about AI and in effect, people don't care when AI is a tool as part of a larger process (like TTS, noise reduction or data sorting) but dislike when AI is used to create something that's meant to have value in and of itself
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."
I go to chilis to work on my novel
From the back of the restaurant you hear
Clack clack clack

The manuscript is almost complete
Clack clack clack
ooh this reminds me i need to make a laser touch up appointment. in my case it's been like 4 years tho o_O
Apple Watch informed me there was a change in my exercise patterns: a sharp decrease in amount of exercise I get every day aligning perfectly (and perfectly embarrassingly) with when I started playing Animal Crossing

What I appreciate is how honest and straightforward ace people are. they dont fuck around
The answer isn’t “then nothing matters.” Think: if I have a garden, it is impossible for me to know every cellular and biochemical reaction that occurs within my tomato plants. It’s unclear if this would even help. But I can notice and respond to broad trends eg a need for more water.
What if self-knowledge is impossible? What if Freu’s right and we are driven by hidden, subconscious desires and repressed memories? What if the factors that motivate us are so varied that we cannot reduce our mental processes to an A -> B -> C flowchart? What if we defy explanation? Then what?
suffering is effectuated not just by us clinging to unhelpful beliefs and stories as if there were something there, but also through our inability to tolerate ambiguity in general. we crave some order, stability, predictability, definite reality in a world in which all is essentially vapor

regarding last retweet, it is truly incredible how normalized something so devastatingly deadly is! I personally get behind the wheel every single day never *fully* grasping reality that there is a stupidly high chance any given car ride could be my very last moment breathing
