  • Water and/or unsweetened tea or coffee is pretty good.

  • Righteous (deserved) anger

  • Ah just an ADHD hyperfixation/rabbithole mate 🙃

  • Thanks my dude! I’m still working on stuff— but I think we all are 😊

  • They used encryption when using carrior pigeons for centuries. Pretty easy to explain the concepts when, for example, MTM attacks were actually happening thousands of years ago.

  • It’s not. Any further questions?

  • Nice try, FBI

  • Sorry this is unedited because I’m on a train, winding its way through Fukushima at the moment.

    Let’s go the Moc masterlist:

    • Drinking coffee black. Used to think that I wouldn’t like coffee without milk and coffee. Turns out I love it, just needed a few weeks to wean myself off sugar and milk and learn to enjoy it. Lost heaps of weight by doing this.
    • Weightlifting three times a week. Gaining muscle mass helped me look and feel good in my 20s and now 30s. I was never a good looking teen, but now in my 30s I get compliments from people pretty frequently.
    • Losing weight. I have sleep apnea. Losing weight is the single most effective treatment for it.
    • Getting jaw surgery. I have TMD, and this constricts my breathing at night. As part of my orthodontic treatment, I opted to get my jaw extended by 7mm. This was very expensive, but I’m in a high paying profession and I’m good at saving. Between this and losing weight, I sleep much better and don’t snore at night. I never used to feel like I ever got any rest.

    Getting my ADHD treated

    Getting medicated. I have ADHD. If you’re clever enough, you can brute force your way through the entire education system; school, undergrad, and postgrad without realising you have ADHD. It’s only after a couple of years in a demanding profession (SWE in my case) that I realised I needed help. I was prescribed Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride) and the difference is night and day.

    Because I don’t have to wrangle my brain into submission the entire day, I’m no longer completely mentally exhausted after 4 hours of work. I can focus for long hours now and feel pretty normal at the end of the day.

    Dealing with high cholesterol Listening to scientists instead of keto idiots. I went to my GP for the third year in a row for my physical and got told I have the highest cholesterol of anyone in their 30s he had ever seen (I was 31).

    He wanted to immediately put me on statins, because he had never seen someone with my level of cholesterol who didn’t have familial hypercholesteroloeamia. I asked him if he could give me six months to try and fix it through diet.

    I had been following fitness influencers, and had lost 10kg cutting calories and eating heaps of beef, butter, and eggs. I cut that out, and upped my plant protein, lean poultry, and fish protein instead. I feel and look heaps better, and am still gaining muscle at about the same rate I was before. I just try and eat heaps of fibre (veggies) and aim for about 100g of protein a day.

    I went for my most recent physical and have the cholesterol of a normal person now. Doctor isn’t trying to put me on statins anymore. I couldn’t believe it.

    Deciding to be an optimist

    I, like my late father, was a pessimist. My whole extended family is and was locked in generational poverty. I took advantage of my intelligence and work ethic and got into university, but my pessimistic attitude towards life persisted. And it seriously limited me.

    I had to actually decide to be optimistic, and believe in myself before things got better. I won’t go into too much detail on this, but my outlook is that;

    Pessimists are more mentally prepared for hardship, but optimists and more emotionally prepared for hardship. Maybe, It’s better to weigh the risks, and still take risks than forever be risk-averse.

    Years of pessimism grinding my spirit into a pulp has beaten this into me. It’s only by adopting an optimistic outlook, working hard, and taking risks that I managed to finally achieve a better life.

    What I’m working on

    At the moment I’m trying to get into the habit of journaling, and quit coffee (drinking green tea instead).

    I need to do better with mental habits such as journalling, not browsing Reddit and YouTube, and doing hobbies such as writing and reading instead of playing video games.

  • I have ADHD, and relying on calendar and reminders applications have been the single biggest improvement for me other than medication.

  • Waterpik is great, but it’s not as good as flossing. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of done though!

  • Thanks for this, I might have to try it this new year. I’m not conservative, so the coming Trump administration will emotionally affect me.

  • FYI Soda water is still highly acidic and will therefore erode your enamel on your teeth.

    I know a lot of people don’t believe in it, but fluoridated water is a proven way to combat this. If you drink a bit of water after a glass of soda water, it will protect your teeth against the acidity of the soda water.

    PS: I’m not interested in debating anti-science idiots on this matter. You don’t need to listen to this advice, if you don’t want to.

  • Way too pro-establishment for me

  • Yikes! I’m a leftie myself and I haven’t been on this platform enough to notice. Definitely moving.
