Look to Europe then. Roads here have less width compared to USA to force you to focus. Or roundabouts which also make the crossing less safe…if you try to keep your speed.

Both end up making roads safer by slowing you down and forcing you to focus.

Funfact. I absolutely hate cooking. My mind wanders out the window the very moment I take a step into the kitchen while my body becomes violently shaking akin to exorcised evil spirit. I feel violated by the very fact I need to do something in the kitchen.

So if I cook, I make sure to do plain things. Minced meat is your friend. It can work with rice, spaghetti, as part of casserole, or as a cutlet…and prolly more. It cares not. It’s fast. It’s botherless. It’s cheap. It’ll accept you as you are.

You enter the kitchen, lose all vibe for like 10 minutes, then leave with something that while maybe not being gourmet, is tasty enough to still make you feel like you did good.

And you can drop anything into minced meat. Beans, veggies, mushrooms. Again, it cares not.

Eaaasy, buddy. No matter what did you do, next to normal consequences your driving license goes buh-buy for a year. Hit someone’s car? Fine + License buhbye for a year. Hit a lamp post? Same. Hit a kid? Jail for manslaughter or whatever it’s called…plus licence buhbuye for a year. If they also take your license, then that also qualifies.

Speeding ticket? Guess what. Fine plus license buhbye.

No buy backs, no slippin, fuck your status. Can’t drive? Ride public. Can’t afford to be so poor? Pay someone to drive you. If they hit something tho, you better start walkin’. xD

Eeeh, first one may not be that removed from actual risk. If we assume 1/10 of population is perverted, then cutting out hetero folks from perving on opposite sex is cutting that 1/10 to 1/100. So the chance some perv will actually go for it is lower. And this is a bigger issue for women than men, so makes sense to be watching out for that.

In USA that is, in EU we have full size stall doors and walls :|

Funnily enough McD of all places tries to go quality route, at least where I live. Upped standards, renovated places, improved services and it…works. Their places are occupied. Like it’s still fast, quality wise it’s okay, price wise it’s okay. So they survived xD

But my world will. I am the lynchpin, the stable backbone, that holds it together and makes it function, I’m not good at it, i suck at it, but that’s the best i can do.

Though don’t get me wrong, it’s not that grim.

It does sound like it. You ok, friend?

But we do owe shit to someone, to the people we live with or even if just for our future selves.

Break the self imposed chains, mate. Kids an partner do limit it, but you absolutely can take a day of - just keep in mind to keep it consensual with your partner and be ready to return the favor in the future. Hell, I see in most advice given by parents to other parents to do exactly that to avoid going crazy.

But all in all, I am going to be blunt. You sound like someone who is constantly on the lookout for reasons not to live your life. You are not a cog in the machine, you are not essential to the world turning, one day off won’t make the whole fall apart. Live your life. Be human.

There is no such concept in today’s society as a truly free time.

You can absolutely have free time. You don’t owe shit to anyone 24/7. Taking a break - and that counts hygiene, cleaning etc. too - for one day is absolutely alright. Drop the phone, do whatever you want, be it watching YT for 16 hours straight, goin the fuck out to hit the pubs or frolicking in the grass.

We, sadly, are not able to live like that day to day. But we absolutely can eke out such time for ourselves. If that’s what we want to do.

Small note - “sadly not able to live like that day to day” does not include dropping hygiene fully. You owe it to yourself if not anyone else. :|

I’m using Boost too and just toggled higher resolution on comic. :| Worked well.

One thing that comes to mind is that even if they get hit by a space rock tomorrow, your order is on it’s way. There’s guarantee it exists and is already destined for you. Seems fair and safe.

Somewhat good and enjoyable…kinda your point.

Good and enjoyable? I can enjoy things that aren’t really good. Example: Whole shitty movies fandom.

Mostly propagated by people enabling toxic people. Meh.

Iiiiif I remember it right, people moved into it. It had an uncertain, infinite amount of rooms but, as people are able to move in, we can safely assume that while rooms are infinite, guests are not. They had a beggining ( and first fam must be reaaaaaally tired of moving).

So, resolve utilities on projected growth, scaling when needed. Trash dunno tho. Unending conveyor belt running in basement? xD

My friend, I am non-native, I may be wrong on this xD

Personal scale, fully subjective:

1. Watch it if you are one of people who always fiddle with phone or sleep at shows
2. Drying paint may be better
3. Better than nothing
4. Kinda meh
5. Enjoyable Somewhat good
6. Quite Good Enjoyable
7. Good
8. Very Good
9. Fantastic
10. Watch it or die trying

* Got corrected. Now at english better am, I >:3

Ah, people.

5 is avreage? Oh so you mean 5 is absolute baseline? Like, treat 5 as 0 yes? Then anything below is basically how much you shouldn’t watch it, no?

My friends balk when I say “Welp, that was 6/10, quite a good movie” xD

I’m orange but with conviction - I may hate what you say, but I still believe you have the right to say it.

But also to hear shit back if people don’t like it. Or be shamed. Basically believe there should be no legal or administrative action tied to speech itself, but how people react to your speech is nothing more than consequence of your actions.

My partner cuts my hair so it’s free. B)

which is more important than actually solving the problem

Error. <_> I do not compute. xD

Alas still, being an expert and yet sending someone LLM response is a low blow. xD

I mean that, due to desperation, some buisnesses literally use Discord instead of Teams xD
