I have had a Herman Miller Sayl chair for 7 years. I work from home.and game in it, it’s plenty comfortable for 10+ hours if you need to sit that long.
Only downside is no headrest. Upside is more affordable and less weird looking than the Aeron.
I can’t afford housing here anyways so I’d genuinely expend a lot of my life savings to try to move to Europe, at least temporarily. Yes, yes, “everywhere has its problems”. I just want new problems I guess.
What ads are you trying to remove?
Firefox on android allows you to use uBlockOrigin. YoutubeRevanced is an excellent application patcher system that you can use to remove ads from YouTube, Twitch, Spotify, and many other. F-droid has some good resources.
If you’re playing games with ads, it’s a little harder. You probably need a piHole on your home network for that (they are super fun either way).
In general, yes, I guess it’s a little harder to remove ads from your entire phone than it is to just remove them from a desktop web browser. Way better than Apple’s options though.
Android is one of the easiest places to block ads.
Temtem.
Had the potential to be the RPG Pokemon could be if it just entered this generation’s technical level. Instead, it became a shitty grindy money-grab that has been killed by the devs.
How on earth were you reading 1000 pages a day of anything? Even if you read at the extremely fast rate of 45 seconds per page of a book, that’s still 12.5 hours a day of actively reading to get to 1000 pages.
Respite was the epitome of your second paragraph, for me. (That sentence works on two levels in this context). Had always thought it was pronounced like re-spite until I said that out loud and was mocked for it.
I discovered this guy on Reddit almost a decade ago. I have a couple prints from him, I love the style of the exploring astronauts. His name is Flooko
I started therapy a year ago.
I enjoy walking my dog (usually) and sitting with my cat.
I spend way, way more time exercising than is normal or mentally healthy probably, but it’s been my coping mechanism for years and I leaned into it.
I try to invite friends over when people have time. It’s not often. I’m that age where people are starting to get married and have kids and move away.
I’m miserable most of the time. I try to ignore the shitty politics, the news, the cost of housing, the cost of food, the quicksand it feels like we are all slowly sinking into.
I’ve decided I’m never having kids. They don’t deserve to be forced to exist in this.
The only consolation I’ve found is an answer to a similar post to this on Reddit a couple years ago - someone in their 60s or so was explaining that for what it’s worth, the world is always on fire if you only focus on that part. They grew up in the cold war, doing bomb shelter drills and hearing how they were going to get nuked by Russia. The economy has its issues then. The government has its issues then. I think those issues are worse now, but honestly who knows. You have to look for moments of brightness and try to avoid focusing on the morass of terribleness that everyone is trying to shove down your throat. It’s not easy. But the alternative is worse.
$500k houses don’t exist in popular cities.
In Boston, where I live? $500k is an unheated garage.
$140k won’t buy you a house in almost any even remotely popular city or its suburbs.
SO and I keep the Disney/Hulu bundle because one of my credit cards covers the cost. Everything else we cancelled and I built a little Jellyfin server.
Yeah this too. Ads and telemetry. Those make money.
It’s not. It’s massively expensive though. There’s money pouring into it because it’s the next big thing. Eventually, the companies that can afford to consistently power a massive LLM learning server farm will be the ones to keep going, the rest will flounder, get acquired, or disappear. Mozilla isn’t a big enough fish and won’t get acquired. AI is not a fad, but it’s not a sustainable business model for a company like Mozilla so I hope all their eggs aren’t going in that basket.
You should be able to remove all the “friends” that Spotify ported in years ago from your Facebook account like it did for everyone.

Hans Zimmer? If not in pure skill then in name recognition.
Users. Sites like reddit and communities like Lemmy get their strengths (and weaknesses, but that’s ok) from the size and contributions of their populations. Lemmy doesn’t have enough yet.
