…Looking at my specs, do you really believe that I paid it recently? This was many years ago.

Nice, looks like a bit more care went into the visual presentation in comparison to Project Gutenberg. Thanks for sharing.

I read a ton as a kid too (probably averaged 3-5 books a week for many years), as an adult it’s hard to escape the cycle of wanting to feel productive but I’ve since tried my best to remember that reading for pleasure isn’t meant to be productive in the capitalist sense. It’s an investment in your own happiness, in my opinion, and that can be productive in other ways. Trying new genres or quick “summer reads” has helped me not get bored.

I mostly just don’t read much because I have other hobbies I like more and tend to watch a lot of video content and browse social media. I didn’t really do any of those things much as a teen, other than a bit of Facebook because everyone had it. For me it’s not the priority that it used to be, but I have a book server for easy access when I get the urge.

For me, I haven’t bought a new graphics card in a long time. I have a RX 580 that I bought used for $200 CAD. My next upgrade will be my motherboard since I’m still using a 1150 socket and I’m stuck using DDR3 RAM and an outdated CPU (Intel i5-4460).

I can still play newish games at low settings and that’s fine for me right now. I’m not buying a GPU at current retail price, fuck that. It’s crazy that the best time to build a PC was 2015.

I used short essays and short stories to get back into reading, maybe that approach would help you. They’re really old, but try A Modest Proposal or some of the satirical essays by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), they’re short and sweet and inspire a desire for more.

Why should I know that? It doesn’t seem helpful for everyday life whatsoever except maybe as trivia.

“I want to know how much I have to work” gives off vibes that you generally put in the minimum effort and want to know if you will actually have to try tomorrow.

This appears not to be correct, but that’s just how people see that particular phrase. It offended her that your question appeared to imply that the level of workload affects your willingness to work in that unit. To mitigate what she perceived as your reluctance to do hard work, she called your manager to make sure that she didn’t have to work with you.

Consider the reason behind your question. Would an accurate answer have actually affected your day? Most people don’t have the luxury of knowing what tomorrow will look like. I understand the desire to be prepared and to know what will be thrown at you beforehand, since I’m neurodivergent too, but often these questions are for our own comfort and an answer is not actually necessary.

I wonder what an all-fat lunch would even look like. Foie gras and fat bombs with chipotle mayo? Lol. I don’t think it would be practical and at worst you’d have diarrhea every afternoon.

Yeah, that’s simply the price of hunting those particular animals, with the caveat that they don’t even have to pay it if they don’t get caught.

These particular offenders were slapped with a year of probation where they can’t legally hunt at all, but for people who make a habit of hunting illegally, that’s not much of a deterrent.

Lmao no, sticking your tongue out isn’t a “gay” thing. I guess he’s trying to be cute, so sorta feminine and stereotypical but it’s not really something I’d consider part of gay culture. (I’m bi, my best friend is gay and I’ve hung out with a lot of gay men.)
