you ever have a dream about imaginary people with whole elaborate life stories

and then wake up and forget all about them

turns out firefox has a setting where you can change the default text and bg color, i had it set to night mode but it turns out the site uses my default text color but *not* my default bg color

easily fixable for most of the test but not for the timed anagram section

seems about right

circumstances make me think its a bit low (was doing this while eating, somewhat tired)

the ratio of how good this tea smells to how good it tastes is a tragedy

almost as bad as coffee

or maybe i just need a social group to enforce doing high-effort/high-reward things?

this worked well when i was a kid, then i never really figured out how to get a good social group to keep the momentum

and the hard stuff *really is* a lot more fun! every time i go, "dang i should do this more often"!

maybe all those people complaining about how the internet has destroyed our attention span were right after all

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.

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

you ever just go around, using words in nonstandard ways?
