When i give something, i give wholeheartedly. They can do whatever they want with it; keep it, sell it, throw it in the trash, give it away, or recycle it. Otherwise i would feel like i gave them something with some restrictions attached. I will also never check what they did with it. I gave them something because i wanted to give them something. It’s nice if they like it, but it’s not an obligation to appreciate it.

Actually no, because they are no more sentient than a rock. Samsara is about living beings and how to end suffering

Meditate

The older i got, the happier i became. Despite physical aches and decline. Mentally, i’m much stronger now. And i don’t care should people not really like me, or have whatever opinions about me. Also, being kind to others makes you happier.

Probably nine or so. I go to bed early and get up reasonably early too. As a morning person, and with chronic pain, this seems to work for me.

Papyrus on my android. It’s not even in the playstore anymore, but i keep -and backup- apk’s. It’s just the simplest notes app, without any markup. It saves as simple text files.

I just open it, jot something down, and leave it. Saves automatically. It might be way more than 10 years even, 15 plus years?

Universe Today

Not funky, but interesting articles, also for non-sciency people

I’m sure it’s deliberately marketed that way to boost sales

They would pick me out

Last book: Children of ruin. I didnt really like this one, while i was in awe of the brilliance of Children of time.

Currently reading a non-fiction book called The genius of birds. I already knew from direct experience how smart birds are, including ones that people perceive as dumb, like pigeons. But this book really gives a different perspective in how birds are complex creatures that adapt to their environments in intelligent ways, and how other birds will instantly copy these novel ways.

As a european, it takes me 8 minutes to walk to a supermarket, though i use a bicycle

I need to know whether they like animals.

One of the ways i select a movie or series is by watching the poster. That tells me enough about whether it will be about male heroes and (maybe) female sidekicks or mothers in the kitchen. Particularly american ones have a lot of those movies. So, these i will not even try to watch anymore.

English, which is not my native language

Two and a half day for a fast. I don’t count being ill, like a flu

Lots of things already mentioned, but to add: Be careful playing certain sports. Damaging your joints frequently can also lead to osteo arthritis or make it appear earlier.

Stop comparing yourself to others. You are you, and you can’t possibly please or displease everyone anyway

True, but it’s an important reason for many people to start to learn how to make their own clothes. It takes effort, but one can learn how to do this. And it used to be a very common skill. With today’s junk on the market, we have a good enough reason to start learning.

Me neither; after all, complaints about pockets are around everywhere. But at least i’ve learned how to deepen existing pockets. Next step will be how to create pockets

Decent fitting clothes with deep pockets and quality fabrics with the colors i like
