It depends. It’s not dependent on systems changing but a person’s mental health and personality.

If you struggled talking to people 10 years ago and didn’t do anything to change that, you’ll struggle now too.

The past tense of wake of course.

When I’m burnt out from programming, I tend to just play some video games. Depending on how fried my brain is, it might be simple, mindless games like Brotato or Slime Rancher, or maybe something more complex like a survival game.

Currently: The Talos Principle.

EDIT: The game, not the story. Though the story is quite interesting too.

Won’t spoil it for those who haven’t played, but some of the philosophical questions and statements are quite interesting. The overall tone of the game fascinates me, even for someone who doesn’t really like (but acknowledges) religion.

When more than 50% of it has been replaced, it’s a new PC.

I’ve been binging a lot of anime lately, so a lot of anime opening & ending songs are getting stuck.

Currently I have “Innocence” by NoisyCell stuck in my head (ending song to Barakamon).

Wow, you responded really quickly!

I try to do something similar, though the temptation to listen to more of the stuck song is strong too.

I don’t have a particular preference when it comes to performances. So long as the piece roughly sounds like the source, I’ll enjoy the performance.

For classical music, is there anything you look for specifically?

Currently, my collection mostly contains works from well-known composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and Debussy. However, I do have some compilations from lesser-known composers such as Antonin Dvorak and Franz Schubert.

Do you go for any performance?

I’m open to any classical piece, be it from famous composers like Mozart, to lesser known composers like Dvorak.

Music!

I’ve been building up my collection for a few years now. Mostly just video game soundtracks and classical music. I don’t have any interest in popular music.

All of them.

I would add the country’s initials to every national flag. Since so many flags are really similar, it gets confusing to remember which flag belongs to which country.

Initials would be taken from the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country codes format.

A bunch of new indie games coming this Autumn, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 in August/September.

• “Science for Dummies” book
• “Latin for Dummies” book
• “Engineering for Dummies” book

I would try to jump-start science way earlier to see what would happen. This would be pre-gold rush and pre-oil, so most of earth’s resources are still present.

Ideally, try to advance science while avoiding global warming this time around.

No, but I’ve seen a lot of pessimism in a few communities, even on positive posts.

• Breakfast: None.
• Lunch: Cereal if I feel like eating, otherwise I skip.
• Dinner: Chicken wraps, with tomato, lettuce, and Mayo.

I’ll eat a snack later in the evening if I’m still hungry.

Real life money? 0

Video game money? Highest was ~1e57 (Balatro)

This is an extreme example if you really want something like an old, ‘dumb’ phone from the past while still using modern hardware:

• Remove any non-essential apps to making a call or text. I would only keep F-Droid to keep your launcher up to date (unless there’s a built-in updater)
• Replace your current launcher with something more minimal like Minimo Launcher
• Optional: Install a game (Just one!) like Breakout 71 for something to do on your break (Like how old phones had a game to play)
• Disable all notifications not related to phone or text
• Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, All Location Services, anything that isn’t essential to making a call or text.

EDIT: forgot to add:

• Only re-enable Wi-Fi for updating your launcher and/or game. Disable when you’re done.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully ‘dumb downed’ your smartphone.

Apollo for Reddit shut down, and Reddit’s app sucks. Voyager looks identical to Apollo, so I moved to it.

Your question is a lot like this thought experiment:

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Whatever your answer is to the above text can be applied to your question.

Yes, I throw in other things besides pee, poop, and Pepsi: Toilet paper
