Remote workers are overall more productive, report a better work-life balance, and suffer less from occupational burnout. It also saves companies money because they don't have to spend as much on office space.
My time is the most precious commodity I have. Unfortunately I'm in a career where I can't work remotely, but if I was I would refuse to go back to the office. Life is too precious to waste it sitting in traffic if you don't have to.
This is a great example of why it's so important to emphasize teaching critical thinking in school right now. Misinformation and disinformation is just going to continue to grow.
The actual signs exist (get yourself a planisphere or a stargazing app, find some dark skies, and discover them for yourself!), it's just all the magic personality nonsense associated with them is bullshit.
Partway through the article:
Smith was convicted in the 1988 murder of Elizabeth Sennett. Sennett’s husband, a pastor, allegedly paid Smith and another man $1,000 each to kill her.
A jury voted 11-1 to sentence Smith to life in prison, but the judge overseeing the case overrode that decision and sentenced him to death. That practice, called judicial override, has since been eliminated in all 50 US states.
Some of Sennett’s relatives attended the execution and told reporters they had forgiven Smith.
“Nothing that happened here today is going to bring Mom back,” sais Mike Sennett, Elizabeth Sennett’s son. “It’s a bittersweet day, we’re not going to be jumping around, hooping and hollering, hooraying and all that, that’s not us. We’re glad this day is over.”
I don't mind paying for YouTube premium because I think YouTube is a valuable service and recognize it's expensive to host videos.
Ich liebe interkulturelle Memes, die ich auch dann verstehen kann, wenn ich die Sprache nicht spreche! Entschuldigung für die Google-Übersetzung.
I have very little faith in businesses to do the right thing for the right reasons. Publicly traded companies in the US literally can't do that legally if they think it will hurt their bottom line.
Go vegan. It's better for the planet too.

Once a week or so is the average. I'm at about the same amount of time in a relationship as you and we're about once a week. Personally I feel like sex is nice but it takes time and effort and I'm not always in the mood to spend time pleasing someone else (and I'm not going to initiate unless I'm willing to do that). I could see myself having sex a little bit more often if I had a better work-life balance where I felt less pressed for time. This gets me thinking that I should check in with my partner about this topic though!
Here's my advice as someone that quit drinking about 6 years ago due to my inability to drink responsibly.
Do you want to quit? If you feel like you can't handle playing a game in moderation, maybe it's time to think about quitting it entirely. If you feel like playing other genres of games will eventually draw you back into playing more addictive games like WoW, then you could think about quitting that too, it's up to you. If certain music makes you think about playing WoW and you can't control yourself if you listen to it , make a sacrifice and don't listen to it. I avoided bars for years and still don't really love being around when people are drinking. The sacrifices I make are well worth it though and I'm much much happier as a result.
Have a long, honest conversation with yourself about what you want from life and how video games fit into it. That's what I did with alcohol and realized I didn't want to waste my life on stupid shit any more and decided to quit.
I have half replaced Reddit with the Fediverse and half replaced it with this exciting new discovery I made of this thing called called IRL™.
AI-generated articles, books, coloring books for example, are all a thing now. Behind the Bastards did a podcast episode on the latter two.
