Oh, reading a manual is a very involved process for me. First, I’ll put the task in my bullet journal, then I’ll postpone it to the next week, then to the month, then to the next month. And then, if I feel lucky, I’ll bring it back into my daily log, and postpone it a few more days before getting annoyed with writing it down so many times that it could fill a full page, and finally reading it.

All those safety warnings are useless nonsense, until:

This vacuum is not water resistant and no part of it shall come into contact with water. Do not operate this vacuum on wet floors.

Wash the infuser with water or coffee machine cleaning powder only. Do not wash with soap. Every 6 months, relubricate the seals with food and water safe silicone grease certified with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 51.

Well, good to know.

Yup.

What even is your problem that you’ll get worked up enough to spend energy spreading misery over some tiny annoyance from some internet stranger? Do you get pleasure out of that? If so, for shame.

When I get annoyed by some internet stranger’s conduct online, I don’t engage. I disengage. Life’s too short to get worked up over the little things I find, and we’ll all feel better when we don’t engage in that negativity.

Yes, I’ve blocked people without ever saying a single word. Sometimes while lurking, I’ll find some conduct (not beliefs, conduct) that I disagree with. I don’t then go on and admonish them, I make them “disappear” from my life, then go on thinking about what I should eat for dinner.

Yes, deleting all the old backup Linux kernels was something I had done before in a 128GB SSD. I then had to delete the Time shift entries as well to actually get that space back.

Aww. Yeah, I should wake up earlier too. I’m always the most productive in the early mornings before all the noise, and late at night when everything is so quiet again.

Including you!

I see “more bike paths” and I also say ‘yes’.

If the road is narrow and visibly winding with lots of trees close by, you bet those cars would slow down just to not wreck themselves. All while everyone else can use the road as normal.

Yeah, life is way too short to be negative about things.

I’ve been applying some of what I’ve read from How to Win Friends and Influence People, and it seems to work out a little bit. Though ADHD would rear it’s ugly head sometimes and I would slip from the impulsive tendency to keep something going way past when it should stop.

*It’s now 4 am rule

My 2 moods are happy and debatable.

I think it’s the lead from back when leaded gasoline was a thing.

They are during rush hour, they all are, all the way to the very brim. Which is why LTA is being politically pushed to tighten the train frequency ever closer (currently at around 2-3 minutes at peak).

The counter here is also counting 2 people per car as well.

Oh, how so?

There are 3.41 million MRT rides a day in 2024. While I don’t know the figures per train, considering personal experience of just how crowded the trains are during peek hours, it seems to be well within the ball park.

Automoderation is rather uncompassionate and emotionless. I didn’t leave Reddit just to join Reddit lite, I don’t like it.

Yes daddy!

Okay, that’s quite a cool memento. I might not mind that.

Know when to let go sometimes. When you can start to tell a friend is getting irritated by a discussion (or worse, a debate), drop it, even if it’s naturally hard to do so. You’re friendship isn’t worth whatever inconsequential thing you are getting way too deep into.
