for me 'wanting' is like a sort of compulsion, like i slowly just find myself doing things i don't particularly enjoy because even though the fun reward is small it's fast and takes barely any effort
but the effortful stuff requires me to actually work for my fun
want/don't enjoy:
some addictive video games
reading bad webfiction
scrolling through twitter
engaging in culture war
don't want/enjoy:
cleaning
cooking (for myself, i find it easy to cook for a group)
reading difficult/serious things
prepping for d&d
now i'm thinking about the difference between wanting to do something and enjoying doing something
please give me examples of things you either enjoy doing but don't want to do or things you want to do but don't enjoy doing

Lots of people suffering from allergies and pollen right now. We should compile a thread of tips and tricks for dealing with the seasonal stuff - I'll start.
I've heard that eating local honey can help.

i wonder what's the most batshit insane way I could use technical language on here before I get called out for it
this includes the ones you hold most sacred
this includes the ones that protect those who you care about
this includes the ones that keep society functioning
everything good in life was made by crazy people with no respect for societal norms
to the extent that you want nice things, you have to let people flagrantly violate social norms

It’s funny how Y2K is remembered as an overblown hoax and not as “for fucking once we saw a problem coming in advance, actually dedicated sufficient time and resources to solving it, and a crisis was averted before it happened.” Makes me wonder how people would think of Covid if we had handled it well.

re: #politics
It falls into the same problem that most "causes" fall into - extremism for the sake of identity in some form or fashion. While it isn't meant to be political, it's obvious that any measured position can be co-opted for political ends. When that happens, there tends to be either a revolutionary or reactionary response, which drives the feuding sides further apart. The quicker the cycle of response, the quicker the radicalization of "sides" evolves. It's most blatantly seen in the political realm these days - and the social medias du jour are what drive the speed of the cycle.
Instant hot takes are an artificial impetus to drive that cyclical process faster and faster. If you want less radicalization - in any part of your life - slow down and think about things. This is one area where you can make a contribution. Wait a day or two before you comment - on anything. It'll still be there when you do, or be proven irrelevant; usually the latter.

more websites seem to be offering actually useful 'accept cookies' buttons
instead of the awful awful banners saying' we use cookies' i've seen several going 'here are the types of cookies we use, which would you like?'
