I find the Fdroid offerings dull personally… I just podcast or audiobooks instead.

But if I were to play on my phone, I normally like games that are also available on consoles. This can be Slay the Spire, Stardew Valley, and Vampire Surivors.… Vampire Survivors may slow down your phone but some of the other ones should be okay.

Theres also Peglin!!

Sorry for linking back to the R word. But FIRE comes to mind with your post

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.

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

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!!

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.

Social workers are all recommended to have a personal therapist for themselves. And its possible for the personal therapist to also have social work degree

The Americans is the best show ive ever seen. Absolutely brilliant from the story to the acting.

My favorite show is also Haunting on Hill House. Its on Netflix. Perfect for Halloween if anyone is interested.

This or some kind of psychosis… Mental health, neurocognitive abnormalities scare the shit out of me. That its very possible it can happen to me.

Well I guess for me is wondering if this trend started because people thought it would be either functional or cool vs businesses being malicious and their aim was more surveillance tolerance?

People dont think its weird to have a camera on a laptop or phone anymore. Instead, people sometimes are now buying phones for the picture quality… And fridges with WiFi because the tech is cool or something.

Many influencers too in general.

The addition of microphones and cameras to things like phones, computers, watches and other technology is to normalize being surveiled as well as minimize other privacy violations. We now have fridges that have WiFi capabilities now and often in the presence of some sort of device with a camera due to phones.
