For me, porn is not really worth it because I get addicted easily. Some people might be able to use it in a healthy way but Idk.

Taekwondo. Cooking. Creative projects. I’ve also done therapy on and off, 1-on-1 conversational therapy as well as Psychodrama in a group therapy setting. Therapy is nice but I wouldn’t say it is the thing that helped the most.

What’s cool about the Fediverse, as long as the censors miss one instance that federates with the blocked ones, the content is still accessible. Slightly OT, but some Mastodon instances are blocked as well, e.g. I could not access mastodon.gamedev.place without VPN when I was in China two months ago.

I don’t understand the question, what is the “web store”? A bit more context would be nice.

Usually not. I was in the same situation and had to register a company in the EU. That way I pay my own taxes, insurance and pension contributions. If you do that, make sure to calculate the extra cost for insurance/taxes and raise your rates accordingly.

Definitely watch that one if you are into food or cooking, it’s a classic!

I also watch that one every couple of years! Highly recommended if you like black humor.

Dinner in America (2020) I liked a lot

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It’s terrible and fascinating at the same time. What I took away from it is that there is an inherent value in things you build yourself and a moral right to own your creations. I know the book is flawed in many ways, but I still think it’s an interesting read. Wouldn’t exactly call it my bible, but I don’t think any book fits that description.

I use a folder structure in Nextcloud where each “album” folder starts with YYYY-MM-DD so I can sort them alphabetically. I delete the photos from my phone when I copy them to the Nextcloud folder. I can always look them up using the app. This is some manual work, but it has worked very well for long-term archival and it will still be organized and searchable on other platforms as long as they support files and folders.

IMO the age gap doesn’t matter as long as both parties get what they want out of the relationship. I would give it a chance, but try to find out if your relationship goals match up. I’m currently in a relationship with a bigger age difference than that and so far we are doing pretty good.

For Kanban I use wekan, because it has more features. Nextcloud I host using snap, which I cannot 100% recommend because it sometimes has troubles upgrading to the latest version. Still, for me it causes less trouble than a manual install.

I don’t see how the gameplay helps with the programming tasks, and I don’t see how the programming tasks enhance the gameplay. Let’s assume the game is already finished, I think the game part would be improved by replacing the programming part with a simpler, more rewarding mechanic. And the programming part could be improved by getting rid of the gameplay, as it would remove distractions. Pulling off educational games that people actually want to play is notoriously hard because of conflicting goals. IMO you should aim for a more integrated experience with in-game “coding” and direct feedback.

The Witness

Except if you need banking apps etc which will refuse working when they detect a customized OS.

What? I’m never sure about anything these days. I just feel “I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant, would you be interested” is better than “I have to confess something … I’m totally attracted to you” That being said I’m in a committed relationship right now and it started with just spending time together naturally.

Because there are so many easier, safer, less awkward ways to check if someone likes me back or not. And if it turns out they do, I don’t need to confess anything, I just set up dates, or do nice things for them and see where that takes us.

I cook dried beans a lot and have to say the canned beans are different. Dried beans often split during soaking and the shells are harder. I think for canning they cook the fresh beans directly. About the pressure cooker, I’ve done this too but found that at least for me the beans are more easily digestible when you cook them slowly and for a longer period of time.

If you end up hating your job just keep looking and find a different company or position. Job satisfaction is so many factors, e.g. how well you get along with your coworkers, how much recognition you get from the higher ups for what you do and so on. The career path you choose now might not affect the outcome that much.
