What os do you use on your pc?

I just get bothered that even on very modern tech my CPU is under load even when idle in Win11 such that the fan is spooling up. I'm convinced they're sneaking distributed AI compute into personal PCs. Doesn't happen on my Linux install.

I wish I could be unemployed

They won't do anything if you don't put in the work. They'll give you a 4-6 hour experience of access to your emotions, and which ones are often most affected by set and setting. It's basically breaking down the walls between you and your emotional self.

It mostly gives you a break, and shows you a goal. So putting in the work is a matter of taking from that experience and changing your life/behavior to start breaking down the emotional walls now that you know what emotions actually feel like.

It's rarely one and done and depression is complex. Sometimes you need a reminder as well. You'll sill need to change your neuro-chemical condition and literal brain structure. That could be simply behavioral, sometimes psychological, and sometimes it's hard wired.

In all cases progress is slow. Getting better takes years and you're not looking for perfect here. There is no failure, feeling like your back pedaling can often be part of growth.

Also don't skip regular therapy as long as you can afford it, just find a therapist you like. They're professionals. They won't be offended if you want to switch. If they are then they're a shit therapist and run even faster.

No they don't give a shit about you they care about their stock portfolio. This is true for both parties' leadership. Consider inside testing in the debate/house with no legitimate oversight.

Fuck you i got mine and all.

Investing is the only way to get ahead on an individual financial basis, but it feeds the machine. They win more from it than you.

Our capital to bargain with is labor and civility. This is why they want to replace us with AI while blocking alternate means to survive. If AI can do it we lose leverage.

What hobby was easier to get into than you thought?

Im the same with reading speed. You could try finding a block of time you would otherwise just be on your phone so it feels less an jnvestment (e.g. before bed, riding the bus, or break at work). I use e-books so i don't have to remember it and opening the book is as easy as social media. Finding something you WANT to read is hard too.

If you're into fantasy then branron sanderson is great. The Way of Kings grabbed me after getiing past the prologue (bonus points for women written decently). Alternatively Name of The Wind by patrick rothfuss. If only he'd finish the trilogy...

If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?

Ehh... Thinking more European or urban (us) parking lots where you have much less space between rows. Usually it's hard to pull forward into the spot in the first place because you need to swing the front versus pivoting the back.

You can practically park sideways at a suburban Costco without inconveniencing your neighbor.

Solution to space between cars is not using a double wide truck/SUV nor parking like a Tesla driver.
