  • I enjoy Adam Ragusea’s podcast. It is a bit all over the place sometimes, but it’s mostly about cooking related stuff?

    French speakers should check out Mike Ward sous écoute. It’s just Québec comedians* getting drunk in front of a crowd. I really enjoy it.

    Darknet diaries have been named a few times already, but I will also list it, it’s just that good haha.

    * Google tells me humorist is a word in english but im not sure? It’s mostly people doing comedy, not necessarily movies etc.



  • I personally think the purpose of life is to reproduce. Everything we are is just because it made us better at surviving and multiplying. We are merely animals.

    I dont think we need to have kids just because that’s what we exist for. We’re intelligent enough to go against our basic instincts if we wish. In that optic, we all need to find our own purpose!



  • Sometimes most people with the knowledge are gone, the people left need to keep things relatively up to date for security reasons, but the legacy systems aren’t as nice, so it takes time and is generally unfun to do. Sometimes a new law in Europe goes live and you should be able to add a pop-up somewhere, but when you follow the docs on how to update stuff, it doesn’t even work for a myriad of reasons. It’s not like maintaining a software for 12 years really, which a ton of businesses do successfully. When you’re just keeping something alive that works and almost never crashes, you get to a point where doing mandated new updates gets harder and harder. And now with the shops gone, there’s even less of a money incentive to keep the thing going :(






  • I like learning about random ass hobbies without ever indulging in them.

    I watch an ungodly amount of aquarium / terrarium videos, lurk a ton of aquascaping communities. I owned a betta fish in an empty bowl when I was 12 and that’s it. (poor fish)

    I read all you could know about book binding fanfiction, never done it.

    I read a hundred pages long horse breeding guide for the game black desert online and I have no idea why. I only played the game for a month, spent most of it reading a google doc about horse. I’m not even sure I owned a horse in the game.

    Sometimes I try the hobby, for example mini painting, and don’t have the patience for it. But I still watch some random dudes on youtube paint for hours and sometimes they don’t even talk!

    No idea why I am like this




  • Holidays and special occasions are sometimes tough, with family shoving food in my face, but I just exercise extra hard afterward, lol.

    I think that’s the best way to go about it, eating like a monk literally all the time is much harder than eating well the majority of the time, at least for me lol.

    The guilt is an enemy as well, I’m the type to go “well, I’ve broken my diet strike, might as well eat a sundae” in a sort of self hate spiral that makes no sense. If I allow myself to indulge in expected moments I feel much better. Like, literally everyone around the table at christmas goes like, “I ate way too much”, I shouldn’t feel bad for feeling the same haha
