Hybrid work has been great for this. I can step away from my desk for 5 minutes to toss in laundry or vacuum etc. Dust or unload the dishwasher while on a call. I no longer have to spend half of my Saturday cleaning because my house is just always clean.

Aw ok, much love ❤️

That’s impossible, the term didn’t exist until 2010 when Jennifer Allen created it because she wanted a “scientific sounding” term to describe the sensation.

Oh. :( That wasn’t very friendly.

Huh?

The term ASMR was coined in 2010. I think it didn’t really catch on until 2011.

Close. I originally got them exclusively for ASMR listening, when ASMR was a brand new concept.

The rest of the breakdown is: 40% once a week, 36% once a month or less. I guess I fall into the latter bracket.

That’s awesome and it sounds like it works for you, but I suspect it isn’t the norm. I could only find data for 50+ year olds, and among them only 24% talk to friends daily. That seems about right for my adult friends group - I get the sense that a quarter of them are very social and the rest are too busy to socialize that often.

I think that level of interaction might be normal in adolescence and even young adulthood, but by the time you’re working, living on your own, and maybe have a family I really don’t think most people talk to their friends that often.

Is it normal to talk to friends more than once a week? That seems like a strange standard imo. Even my besties and I touch base maybe once or twice a month at most, and see eachother once every 4 to 6 months.

The book Annihilation centered on a “tower” that was a mysterious, fleshy, downward spiraling tunnel with creepy writing on the walls. The imagery was so unsettling.

For some reason it is entirely absent from the movie. Like… that was half of the point of the book - a “tower” that climbed down into the earth instead of towards the sky. Why would you cut that?

SNES and PSX era RPGs. It’s hard for me to sit in the same spot on the couch for turn based games with repetitive gameplay, but it feels like less of a chore when it’s just something I’m doing to pass time while lounging in bed. I’m playing through FFI pixel remaster now and really couldn’t imagine myself playing it on a TV.

Agreed, I made lifelong friends in my college anime club.

Gotta be Cyberpunk Edgerunners for me. Nothing has captivated me and made me love the characters as much as that show did.

I’ll probably still be using my Steam Deck in 2035 lol. It’s just so perfect for the types of games I play - mostly older stuff and modern pixel art / 2D games. I just beat Spiritfarer on it after beating Graveyard Keeper, and I’m nearly to the “end” of Stardew. I’ve played through FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX on it. My gaming time has quadrupled now that I can play all my games in bed or on the toilet or at the park. Just an amazing little machine.

Not a full hosting solution, but I use PerfectViewer on Android and it’s wonderful. Connects right into my server and displays all of my books and Manga on a shelf layout. It only syncs to my server locally because I don’t have a VPN to my home configured, but it does allow downloading which is handy when I’m traveling. I’m not sure if it has every feature you’re looking for but it might be worth checking out.

I don’t have any at the ready, but I think this style of art was called “I’m sorry Waldo” on Reddit if you want to try to hunt down some more.

There’s something incredibly striking about this photo. At first glance, it absolutely looks like a glam shot of a fancy dish at a restaurant. But the more you look, the worse it gets. Like one of those pictures that shows an ordinary scene, but with terrifying details and storylines hidden in plain sight. Like this.

Would absolutely smash after smoking a bowl, though.
