Agree and disagree. Things that bring joy are worth it (as long as it can be afforded). However, I never think food delivery are worth it unless its a group order or someone is physically or mentally unable to pick up their food. Its much cheaper to pick it up yourself. Also, these food delivery services are absolute vultures and take too much of restaurant cut. If you want to support your local eats just go to them directly.

It really is subjective. However, if we are talking commercial art, Robert Britto is one of the biggest names.

And I’m not sure what kind of answer you are looking for. My cousin is a professional artist but he only makes a limited number a year (def less than 10), makes a living off of it… His mind just works differently and his imagination is crazy. Its hard to explain what he sees in the mundane like just standing in line for coffee or looking at his dinner.

As far as art in my house, its been just art from local art galleries, and therefore local artists. They all have different styles. Traditional, contemporary, mixed media, etc.

Thats why its really subjective.

This. I fear more for others than I do myself

I got mine a while ago so ive been grandfathered into 16gb data, unlimited text qjd calling for $25/month.

I have this one on my desk :D

“What’s the deal with English muffins and why do the English like them so much?”

The statement is making the assumption that those of British descent “like them so much”… However, it turns out your assumption was wrong per comments on this thread (most people think theyre just okay in general, even the British). So people are agreeing with your personal opinion of “English Muffins” but not your approach.

A more open ended, respectful question could have been something as simple as"Why do some people like English Muffins?" Something introspective for communication if you choose to reflect.

Agree with LBS/LGS!! If you live in an area that doesn’t have those maybe try discord groups of some games you like? Or be a rando in some group games and maybe find friends that way

Agree with this. Stardew Valley and many games can be found on mobile and quite popular with the gaming community. I am not sure as a beginner player I would start off with Stardew Valley as there are a lot of mechanics? Would recommend more of the below as there are not as many things to figure out:

High recommendations for Vampire Survivors. There is a demo with that link as well as direct app access.

Additionally, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for $20 come December is great intro. Super relaxing game.

100% recommend Slay the Spire as well.

For games without a mobile option, I feel like Portal 1 and Portal 2 are must plays for anyone. And are not too graphically intense for any computer. Its a puzzle game. You run and jump into portals to figure out the puzzles. I wish I could play them again for the first time. All the above are amazing games. Wishing you the best on your journey!

P.S. if you have a friend to game with, It Takes Two is a pleasant experience.

Same. Too little time and so much to do

Honestly, my top advice is to read what you enjoy or what you want to. That’s how best to get into reading. If you don’t like or enjoy reading a book, drop it. I saw you have six books youre currently reading. Do you even like them?!? Maybe find one that really absorbs you and go from there? If standard text does not grab you, what about graphic novels like Maus? You listen to podcasts. What about audiobooks? Any with a good narration?

• What are your reading habits like?

I read when I feel like it (physical and ebooks), audiobooks during car rides if the narration is good. If I am not in the mood to read, I don’t?

• What do you like to read?

Fiction is my favorite. Sci Fi, wholesome books (cozy reads), etc. However, I would occasionally mix in a memoir or a nonfiction like you said because I also felt some pressure to want to learn something

• What kind of stage of life are you in, and how does that affect it?

I’m in my early 30s. I got burnt out of my job during the pandemic. Took some medical leave due to new depression, stress and other effects on myself. Took time and started reading again. Picked up Murderbot Diaries as one of my first books and Anxious People by Fredrik Backman… Absolute love.

• Have you made any changes, positive or negative, to your reading habits?

If I don’t like a book, I drop it. I added audiobooks to my reading and it increased number of books “read”

• What else? See above

If you read, even if its 1 page a day, you are a reader! Please do not discount yourself!!

Love it though admittedly I haven’t utilize much of the color e-ink feature. Primarily book covers right now and highlights (btw, contrary to what someone already responded Kobo has yellow, blue, green and pink highlights). The book covers look great in color but not as sharp as black and white. I’m hoping to read the Sandman soon though and other graphic novels from my library is why I got it (and it was a free upgrade for me).

But I love both my Kobos and have no complaints. Theyre so customizable and easy to use.

Kobo Libra H20 owner here too then Kobo Colour!! Love both! My husband upgraded me for free because he worked with Kobo

Unless he is actively suicidal this is not the answer and can make things worse

Nurse manager. I browse when I wake and during dinner. Sometimes during work breaks. I don’t really post. Mostly comment. Doesn’t take long to comment

Dungeon Crawler Carl 4, The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matthew Dinniman. Its just good fun and the sound effects are amazing. Though I think Carl sounds too old for a 27 year old.

It has also been a good break after Pet Sematary by Stephen King.

In addition to all the above, I found a weighed blanket really helped me. Make sure your room is very dark, pitch black. If it is not, upgrade your blinds or a sleep mask. I got one that’s simple and cotton and it works wonders.

Now its winter I also have a heated blanket.

Mold because I’m American
