100 ways to slightly improve your life without really trying

It’s a good list! Not that I do most of it, but kind of though.

#2 is a really good way to get real with yourself. Pros, Cons, Budget. Period.

#4 is not happening with me, but I eat fruit every day.

#9 I’m fortunate enough that I have pigeons living across my kitchen window. They moan a lot.

#30 what’s amazing is how it fucks up their expectations. They’re essentially kids.

#32 33 34 are important. Go for a walk with your phone, just freaking leave it in your pocket.

#42 game changer (years without it).

#44 absolutely not.

#47 I should do that more often. Be in the present.

#53 I need that skill.

#75 duh! It’s a constant for me; keys always at the same place, always.

#87 brutally important even though it sounds stupid as hell.

#100 YUP

This beast is being resuscitated by my mechanic Max. Hopefully. Please? Data is safe but… It’s complicated.

This is an old laptop on which I did SO much. No nostalgia but I really kind of want to refurbish it and use it a little bit longer. Once the hardware failure is corrected, it should be fine. Hopefully.

New machines are doing too much and not what I want. So so sick of it.

Also it’s going to cost me some extra money so if you’re into Venmo, drop me some coin if you can. I will appreciate you, time’s is hard, etc *hugs*

Gas is so expensive right now this morning I told myself that “I shall purchase propellant for my roadship before the new moon”.

Shout out to all the AMD Opteron CPUs out there, doing nothing when they could power local internet infrastructures, school labs and passively heat entire states in the winter.

It’s a nice book.

It was entertaining? I don’t know. I jumped on it without social media, without reading any piece on it.

Entertaining but also bland and AI-designed or something quite mechanical about it. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the current day setting with current dystopia. Watching something that is pretty much exactly what we’re living might not yield satisfaction like that.

Now imagine the same settings but it’s the start of a new year. The major phone company is bigger than ever. But for some reason, at the end of January, the sales are gone. Exactly zero new phone is sold. Not one.

Same thing in February. No one really knows why.

The company doesn’t freak out yet, they’re filthy wealthy with a treasure chest in billions. But they start investigating after the board asks for answers and more money.

See? A lot more exciting to think about human intelligence than human impulses.

January to June: heavy isolation

June to October: ???

October: Hung out with a bunch of people without masks, twice. It felt outstanding.

November to December: heavy isolation

It’s been rough. The good thing is that it looks like I never got COVID-19. Never lost my sense of smell, never felt weak and actually increased my lung capacity, if anything.

Unrelated, I’m probably seven Spider-man movies behind at this point.
