He only wants it for marketplace. I can sympathise, that’s where all the really good awful car deals are, and cheap tools that I don’t need, but really want

What/where is that?

Speaking from personal experience, knowing that there’s a reason I behave a certain way has been pretty liberating. I spent my whole adult life up to my late thirties thinking I’d broken my brain or was just lazy and couldn’t concentrate. Knowing that that’s just how my brain is wired has made me feel a lot better about myself, and be less harsh to myself when I fuck up, and then being able to learn coping strategies of others in a similar situation has also really helped.

If you can give up on a new hobby or whatever BEFORE you’ve bought all the things and made your life even more messy isn’t a bad thing at all. If you’ve lent into it and bought all the stuff and nonsense, try to cycle through past hobbies rather than pick up new ones constantly. Find hobbies that complement each other, or use stuff that you already own, and ones that have low cost to try out. If you’re not making yourself skint or your life more messy by trying them out, then trying and quitting doesn’t matter at all, it just increases the chance of you finding something you really enjoy doing.

The French radio station Fip is really good background music. I can pretty much have that on constantly, and even the occasional announcements don’t really break my concentration, as I don’t speak French.

Thanks, that’s what I was going to find. Shame none of us concentrate past the first two replies, but hey.

Yeah, you gotta let it load sometimes

That laser pointing in an entirely different direction from the gun barrel bothered me back then, and I have to say it still bothers me now

That’s a tune. I need to listen to more of them, I only really came to know them because of their Stayin’ Alive cover, but the more I hear, the more I like them

Middle of the next debate, right in the forehead. Needs a good walk-off one liner to follow it though, that’s probably the biggest obstacle for him

Climate change is a real problem, we need to be very worried about what kind of a world we leave for Keith Richards

I’ve never used one, though a mate uses chat gtp constantly so I make him ask it things fairly often. However, I’ve just bookmarked DDG, that seems useful. If there’s a similarly private voice assistant for iOS (that works better than Siri) then I’d probably use that in preference to a traditional search engine a lot of the time

Much like Israel used US missiles to kill people in Palestine, no?

I’m currently plowing through the 9th of the Malazan books by Steven Erikson, and I don’t really want them to finish. One of the best bits of writing I’ve so far encountered.

I’ve got a foot-high stack of Sanderson to help me get over it though, so that’s ok.

The Malazan books are in some ways comparable to the Stormlight books, but they are a lot more dense and there’s almost no hand-holding whatsoever. The story is detailed, spread over several continents, and has tons of important characters. You’re expected to remember things from several thousand pages ago without there being any recap, and frankly I like it. When each book is already around 1300 pages, and there’s 10 of them, constant recaps would do my nut in. There’s a good dramatis personae, and a glossary in each book, which helps.
