When you donβt know what to do, do nothing.
Itβs okay to not stay busy.

I'd like to make sure people understand doing nothing is doing nothing. Not scrolling on your phone. Not watching a movie. Take a moment to just sit and be there. Being bored is important for us
Was that your comment I read? I didnβt save the post. It had really good advice.
I'd say go one step further and meditate.
I learned how to not poop for three days
I thought shit just works was about shitting regularly???
Contrary to popular belief, sometimes shit doesn't happen.
Oh there's a few:
-
use FreeTube
-
Switch to Firefox and use uBlock
-
Toast your muesli
-
A nice list of recommended anime to watch, I'm going through it
Could you elaborate on "Toastyour muesli"? What do you mean? Do you put it in a pan?
Yes! A pan is an option. Another option is on a tray in the oven, low heat. Another option and my preferred one is add some water to make a paste, and bake as clusters.
Get a bidet
Don't care about other people's opinions but when presented with facts, consider them.
I would add to this to consider facts but context as well, facts can bring a misrepresented reality when they are presented as an argument without taking into account the whole background that produces them.
So far nothing really but I'll offer a big one here:
Don't let perfect be the enemy of better.
Well, there were a few people I should have listened to earlier about defederating a certain instance.
I'm gonna guess either lemmygrad, or more likely hexbear lol
Listen to No Such Thing As A Fish
Switch to open source and privacy respecting apps on Android
Yes! Excellent advice, both of them.
So happy I recently got my ex to listen to it even though she already has too much media to consume :)
It's just a podcast, no thanks
A bit of advice I received prompted me to change my resume and start non hunting again. Also helped with the imposter syndrome some.

Switching from Cloudflare DNS to NextDNS.
And probably other stuff too, but I don't remember.
Nah swap to dns.adguard.com . Has all the benefits and built in ad/tracker blocking.
Whats the reason that made you move away from cloudflare?
NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.
Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it's enough for personal use.
However, where DoT or DoH isn't available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).
That I shouldn't even watch Danganronpa wallpapers on the web, since those can really easily spoil major parts.
Brave browser is bad
