Or something negative. Maybe you just got a job. Awesome. But you were in front of someone else. Someone who too could have gotten that job, someone who’s been unsuccessful for years. And now he again has no chance. He keeps searching for a few more months, but now in huge debts, that person decides to take their life by jumping under a train. But this is only start. It gives the train driver trauma, he’s no longer able to do his job that his family so much depended on. They can’t afford education for their children. And things keep getting perpetually worse and worse. From 1 person, it now affects 5, which creates even bigger impact and the story could continue.

I am certainly overthinking this, but you never know.

Or maybe you just rejected mediocre artist from art school without thinking about it. You know that one.

My dad ate a dog, and he says it’s pretty good.

user224 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain?

Move that mountain over there.

Actually, when I think about it, you sort of can. Because the mountain is a part of Earth you can just move the Earth. As you know, every action has an equal and opposite reaction so you can just start walking or running by which you ever so slightly changed the Earth’s rotation and kind of moved the mountain along with it.
But actually, speed is relative. So if you’re walking (which the mountain probably isn’t, at least not in exactly same direction at exactly same speed) the mountain is moving relative to you.
Although you could also probably just kick it. Vibrations are also movements, no matter how small.

But what if you just took a rock from the mountain and thrown it somewhere else? If it’s considered a part of mountain, you just moved it relative to Earth which is a big success in this case. I mean, think about a pile of gravel. Take some from one side, place it on the other, it’s still a pile of gravel and it is also slightly re-positioned.

Anyway,…

Yes.

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

What I do, I definitely wouldn’t recommend. It’s definitely unhealthy.
If I feel weak and shaky, I’ll dissolve like 15 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of water and drink that. Then flush that down with extra water. Obviously only if I don’t need to go anywhere, otherwise I wouldn’t drink a lot of water.
But maybe it’s not that bad. To be honest, I have no idea how much sugar is in regular soda.

20 minute power nap

Just curious, how do you guys manage to do that? It can take me up to 2 hours just to fall asleep, unless I just woke up in which case I still shouldn’t do that because few extra minutes of sleep just totally destroy me for the day.

user224 , 11 months ago to asklemmy in Where and when did you start your fediverse journey?

06/16/2023 on sh.itjust.works and 06/17/2023 here on SDF. Since I didn’t yet know what Lemmy was, I used same username I have on sdf.org UNIX system. And now I am stuck with it.

user224 , 11 months ago to asklemmy in your girlfriend gets an unencrypted copy of all your files. What happens?

What happens? Well, I just got a girlfriend!

About the files, I don’t even remember what’s in there.
So much random stuff.
90 random PDFs some of which is books I planned and still plan to read, but firstly I need to somehow gain some understanding in mathematics
Files recovered from 128MB MicroSD card I found on sidewalk some years back
Files recovered from my tablet I had when I was 8
Files recovered from mom’s old phone
Copies of DVDs I own as .iso files
1,118 songs I’ve been collecting since I was 8
54 “Educational videos” - Electronics plus GSM cracking series
Leaked source code of FarCry because why not
212 pictures of Hatsune Miku
Never Gonna Give You Up video
1,739 Screenshots
22 Firefox buttons and banners
140 satellite images received with my SDR
1,553 Photos (Camera)
3 websites downloaded with wget

And 10s of thousands of insignificant files I don’t even remember. But that’s just my phone’s SD Card. I don’t delete stuff, at most I move it to directory named ZZZ_Garbage.
