  1. Nature immersion resets my nervous system in ways nothing else quite manages. Whether it's walking through forest trails or simply sitting beside moving water, something about disconnecting from artificial environments and reconnecting with natural rhythms dissolves accumulated tension that I didn't even realize I was carrying.
  2. I separate the person from the habit, recognizing that smoking often begins during vulnerable periods of life and becomes a physiological dependency rather than a simple choice. That said, I do maintain boundaries about smoke exposure for health reasons while trying to avoid judgment about the individuals themselves. I dislike the scent of it.
  3. I'm not sure I hate any of them. Maybe stuffed animals and that's because I found them boring but I don't think I hated them at all.
  4. Office supply stores evoke an almost transcendent joy in me - the perfectly aligned pens, the potential of unmarked notebooks, the precise organization of paper clips by size and color. Friends mock my excitement about new planner layouts or archival-quality markers, but there's something deeply satisfying about tools designed specifically for capturing thoughts.
  5. I've developed a growing appreciation for gold jewelry as I've gotten older, particularly pieces with historical significance or unique craftsmanship. There's something compelling about wearing materials that have been valued across virtually all human civilizations and knowing the piece might outlast me.
  6. Cultivating deeper relationships with fewer people rather than maintaining superficial connections with many. By prioritizing quality time with a core group, I've developed the kind of friendships where we can be authentic about struggles rather than presenting curated versions of ourselves, which has been profoundly healing.
  7. I've developed a strategy after several disappointing meals abroad: I follow the uniforms. Whether construction workers in Berlin, office staff in Mexico City, or students in Hanoi where locals on limited time and budgets eat regularly is where you'll find the best combination of value, authenticity, and safety.
  8. Absolutely. I don't mind failing at all because at least I'll learn what doesn't work for me in the future.
  9. Yep. I've taken that approach with almost everything. When handling complex problems, break it down into more manageable portions so that I can better address it.
  10. Creativity serves as my primary form of problem-solving. When faced with challenges, I deliberately seek unconventional connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. This approach has transformed obstacles into opportunities throughout my career and personal relationships in ways that logical analysis alone never could.
  11. Reality TV shows where people are deliberately put in situations designed to create conflict. I can't understand the appeal of watching manufactured drama and people at their worst. It feels exploitative of both participants and viewers, yet somehow these shows dominate streaming platforms.
  12. Absolutely. I've replaced most of my apps with pinned progressive web apps where possible. They load faster, take up less space, and don't constantly badger me with notifications. My favorite cooking blog, weather radar, and public transit tracker all work better as pins than dedicated apps.
  13. I initially set up PayPal years ago for eBay, but now I find myself using it almost daily. Between subscribing to content creators, making marketplace purchases, and receiving client payments, it's essentially become my secondary bank account despite their sometimes frustrating fees.
  14. I've noticed my healing time correlates directly with how much I allow myself to process what happened versus distracting myself. Quick rebounds might feel like healing, but for me, they just postpone the inevitable emotional work. True healing comes from reflection, not distraction.
  15. https://amp3.cc/ Easy to use - just paste the link of the video, select the quality and then hit convert.
  16. It's definitely been watered down since the early 2000s. In addition to that, most of the modern rappers aren't talented in any way whatsoever.
  17. Injustice (2021) - 9/10
  18. I came up with a new Egyptian-Themed build for Skyrim SE based on two goddesses - Sekhmet and Nephthys. She's an Arkay follower and protector of the dead. A divine protector of the natural world and a guide to the afterlife.

    I'm liking this game. It reminds me so much of Sly Cooper from the PS2 era in terms of graphical style and plot.
