  • Labeling anything a disorder only means that whatever behavior is causing you distress and harm in a meaningful way.

    On the other hand, recognizing that certain tendencies can be detrimental to both yourself and those around you can be key to actually getting help changing or managing them.

    I do agree that we should be careful with how we label it, though. There is a difference between “this is hurting you” and “something’s wrong with you”.

    Sure, I might have worded myself a bit clumsily. I meant using them in a conversational way. They’re trying to say “less than 500 steps,” which is very different from “500 is larger than steps per day” in tone.

    My point was just that in normal speech and writing you would say “less than 500”, which would be written “< 500” if you insisted on using the mathematical sign.

    It’s why ~40% of Americans didn’t vote in 2024.

    Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well…


  • Great brewers, but I’m not sure I would recommend Chemex for single serve. They’re a little large for small batches.

    Personally I would go for a Hario V60 (01 or 02 size) or a Cafec drip brewer (the Deep 27 is perfect for single cup brewing!). They’re easily available, and the filters are also both cheap and easy to find.

    Doing something you don’t like for yourself feels quite different from doing it for someone else, though.

    Most people who do something they don’t like for a living does that thing purely because it is the thing that makes some shareholder more money. All (or most of) the meaning has been sucked out, and that definitely has something to do with capitalism.

    Of course we’ll probably never get to the point where everyone loves every day of their job, but injecting some value (that isn’t purely monetary) back into work would do wonders, IMO.
