Tutanota. It’s free and encrypted.

And I just use a plain text-document to compose the email.

Basically getting sweaty, and challenging yourself…

• tromping around in the woods,
• riding a bike,
• swimming at a pool/creek,
• playing sports (and especially inventing new sports).

Being strong and tough for its own sake.

Is your question a form of experimental philosophy?

That’s true. Much better to have clean form with 10% less weight.

Plus, in the long term, it accelerates the progression to heavier weight (especially with the avoidance of injuries, like you said).

The most frequently-used are direct links in the bookmarks bar (with single-letter titles, to display 25 across).

All others, I keep in folders.

To access the ones in folders, you can just type a keyword in the url-bar, and a dropdown will display relevant bookmarks (using chromium).

(for example, you can type ‘coconut’, and bookmarks which contain that keyword will appear)

Keep stackin those joints amigo.

To be fair, if form and function are the same, then this entire question is tautological. (which is a valid perspective)

For example:

• You could make a fork that stabs food perfectly (function).
• You could make that fork shiny, with ornate designs (form).

You could say that both are examples of function, because artistic beauty has a functional purpose (to enhance free expression, and emotional impact).

And that is the frivolity of words… They are mostly redundant (and exist for the beauty of form (which is a function)).

I don’t know why people use twitter for anything…

The UI is bloated, it’s difficult to follow threads, and it loads slowly.

Even worse is when someone shares a twit image or video, to a site like lemmy or reddit. Then hundreds/thousands of people will have to wade through that twit slop.

Much better to just post the image directly, and leave twitter out of it.

So yeah, I agree with you.

Yes, so we can talk to each other.

@tomasz - Do you think we should bring them back?

The main ‘mood fixes’ for me are:

1. Sleep a lot (the most important)
2. Hard exercise (like sprinting or pushups)
3. Read a couple chapters of a book you actually like.

And to deal with the actual ‘causes’:

1. Write a list of what causes the anxious / bummed feelings.
2. Divide that list into two groups - “Thing I can change” and “Things I can’t change”.
3. Beside each item on “Things I can change”, write a good idea for how to fix it.
4. Pick ONE IDEA from “Things I can change” and start doing it (and decide to enjoy it).

Something I notice… after doing those ‘lists’ and ‘mood fixes’… the situation is usually not as ‘hopeless’ or ‘complicated’ as it seemed.

Feel free to share your lists/ideas (or feel free to message me if you’d rather discuss it in private). I will be honest and encouraging.

I guess that depends on how you define success:

• If I make an instance for writers, and 30 writers use it … success.
• If I make an instance for my friends, and we use it … success.

Personally - I’d rather have a tight-knit community than a zillion spammers regurgitating low-effort posts (like many reddit subs).

The cool thing about success is - you get to decide what it means.

Hey I think that is a great idea. I agree that mental/spiritual freedom is reached through the breath.

That will be a great strategy and you can definitely help people who are ready to try it.

You’ve never used them before.

I agree, it’s not their fault.

The question I’m asking you is:

• If your intention is to ‘troll’, can you really help someone?
• Are you gonna offer them months of sincere encouragement?
• Do you have an idea for how to heal them?

It’s good to be kind.

But if your intention is to ‘troll’, can you really help someone?

Say a person answers your question - “my dad was an alcoholic and my mom was a skitzo.”

Okay - then what?

• Are you gonna offer them months of sincere encouragement?
• Do you have an idea for how to heal them?

If not, then it’s a pretty shallow ‘kindness’.
