The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you’re going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example “write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are”. Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you’ve been productove or distracted, doesn’t matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You’ve got a fresh start to try again.

For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a “deadline”) and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.

I know nuts are full of fat, but I do find that raw nuts make me feel full so quickly that it’s hard to ingest as many calories.

Btw did you track your overall intake with an app for a week? Is your excess intake mostly carbs or fat?

If you eat raw nuts, from a mixed bag, without added salt, does that make you feel full?

That or 100% peanut butter usually makes me feel full really quickly

I haven’t yet had to put in effort to maintain a healthy weight, so this may not work for weight loss.

But if I want to feel full, I typically eat a big burger (Beyond or Vegetarian Butcher are my favorite brands), or I wok rice with mixed vegetables and kimchi and crispy pressed and baked tofu pieces.

Really, just eat whatever you would eat before going vegan, but vegan versions. Weight loss diets are tough enough without going completely whole foods

Oat or soy yoghurt is really filling too though, good suggestions!

I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.

More of a Lenin vibe

What a healthy animal, that muscle on the front looking tasty!

If you have any leftovers, such as intestine, and don’t know what to do with them, remember you can always sell it to candy manufacturers, they often use animal sources for gelatin.

That way, after having been slaughtered at the healthy age of 3, he can still make kids happy! Haha.

I love barkon btw, plant-based bacon doesn’t taste exactly the same

Windows XP… such expressive, truly material-like, design, only Vista comes close. But XP ran so much better.

Thank you for sharing your findings and the great explanation! I recognize number 2 a lot… I will try to stop engaging with the anxiety.

Great job on the title @[email protected]

Of course!

Well, do still consider how other addicts might feel judged when they realize you quit. It will make them uncomfortable and they’ll have to make up excuses.

It might sour your relationship with people who enjoyed using it with you.

Why don’t you start with cocaineless Mondays?

How about solidarity with other addicts? If they see you quit, they will feel pressured to also quit, have you thought about that?

I did not realize in advance how much my quitting would hurt the other addicts.

Not quitting fully (either still using on some days or only fully quitting the least popular parts of the addiction) seems to console them a bit.

It’s a tradeoff you’ll have to make: do you

• … make other addicts slightly uncomfortable by quitting?
• … or continue to harm your health, low-wage workers’ mental wellbeing, destroy nature and the climate, contribute to pandemic risk and unnecessarily hurt the animals you consume?

It’s not an easy choice.

Good point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.

Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:

• no technical expertise
• is not in charge
• does not have anything to say that is worth listening to in times of crisis

Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.

I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.

Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄

I understand your frustrations and I hope you can find people who (100% honest) are more mature than that, and have a happier and more positive attitude.

This whole “I am so mature” alleged superiority vibe stinks of teenage insecurity. You can do better than that.

We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.

Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.

Makes sense. Mono was necessary in the “old .NET” world, where runtimes were tied to Windows versions and the framework was a pure Windows framework. Mono made it possible to run old dotNET framework versions (up to 4.8) on other OSes.

Since dotNET Core and then dotNET 5 and higher, the framework itself is cross-platform so Mono is not necessary anymore, except for backwards compatibility for apps that use a now unsupported framework.

So it makes sense that Microsoft, after dropping the old dotNET Framework versions, also wants to stop supporting the cross-platform library that was only needed for those old versions.

Obviously, I can’t tell you about the privacy implications of every internet routing device on the planet.

I was just trying to provide a more complete and longer TL;DR than the one I was responding to.

Sounds like you know what you are doing as well as anyone could, you don’t need my TLDR
