I found them guys:

No one could have predicted such an outcome

Also, my advice would be to not take advice from people like this online. Find role models in real life who you admire and can look up to and ask them about this stuff. Adults don’t have everything figured out as much as you think. The comment above is a perfect example, where an adult seems to be preoccupied with one specific issue that they possibly struggled with…and that likely doesn’t apply to you at all.

Find people in your life who are good, who are doing good and who are being good. Talk to these people. Look for mentors in real life.

As a general rule: nothing you read online should be taken seriously. It is too difficult to filter what is important and true, from what is not.

I would say this is not something you need to worry about. I would ignore this advice. It doesn’t apply to the vast majority of people and is not something a 14 year old should worry about.

Do you exercise? Is dad bod catching up over time?

I look forward to my 12.5 hour shift later this week… With a full week of normal working days before and after.

I’m really happy that this is not relevant to me.

… because I don’t use Windows. I wish it was also because I managed to get rid of WhatsApp from my life.

What’s the reason to keep the inkjet?

Welcome to Linux. Glad to see you’re not letting the hurdles get in your way and are working through solutions. There’s more to come.

You say “5 year old laptop” as if that’s ancient… 10th gen Intel 😄. I don’t even look at laptops newer than 5 years. Don’t need much more for internet tasks and office work.

All the effort of inputting data into a password manager, but none of the security.

I specifically changed my routine and now brush my teeth straight after dinner. This has stopped me from midnight snacking completely.

Don’t Talk To Me Or My Sun Ever Again

Keep browsing eBay and HotUKDeals. You can easily find something really good for <£200.

This 11th Gen Intel Dell laptop was going to £150 this morning and I was on the verge of ordering it and adding more RAM.

This sub is obsessed with Thinkpads, but when you’re looking for a secondhand bargain then you pick up what comes opportunistically. The market is flooded with Dells because businesses change machines long before they go out of date and generally keep them in very very good condition.

I do this with movies in IMDB. Bookmark movies I’m meaning to watch. Rate the movies I have watched. You need to find a website or ap that let’s you track games in this way. I can see there’s IGDB.com, but have never tried it. This game tracking will happen on your phone and be seperate from your collection, so it doesn’t matter which market or platform you use.

Game suggestions are more difficult. Sites tend to suggest sponsored content and AAA expensive suggestions. The better way to find new content is from user forums or trusted reviewers/publications.

Kindle with a dim backlight is perfect for this.

They want you to work in advance and for you to ask them later with thorough explanation for justifying a raise. They’ll decide later (end of the year) performance review or salary review.

I applied for an extra role at work last year. They were reluctant to give it to me “because I hadn’t already been doing it” (for free)…shows that I’m not keen. Why the hell would I have done this before when I had any time or resource for it? They didn’t have any other applicants so they gave it to me anyway…but WTF

Fucking ear worm

I hear ya. I really wish we could go back to the good old days of “who ordered the extra large sausage pizza” and " I’m here to check your plumbing, ma’am".

Why? Did you get stuck in a washing machine yourself at some point?

On a more serious note, I remember reading an article once about this phenomenon. About how it’s not some widespread latent sex fantasy to fuck step-siblings. Rather it’s an odd reflection of how algorithms poison the content in this attention economy. The more unusual the content is (without being outright objectionable), then the more attention it gets for being so unusual. That starts a wave of new creations from content creators to jump on the bandwagon for the popularity of the content that seems to be getting traction. Then pretty soon anyone not catering to this “demand” is an outlier and loses out, so eventually this theme of content floods the entire ecosystem.

Why would anyone lie on the internet?
