  • I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be “superior” to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.

    I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that’s up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn’t a factor.

    This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You’ll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.


  • My SO and I have been obsessed with this game for the past few weeks now. Unlike any other game I’ve played, this one makes you feel smart for remembering small details about things you spotted earlier, or when you look back on a note you took that is suddenly relevant.

    That said, we are at a point now where we know roughly what we have to do, but we still need to slog through multiple days to get the rooms we want to appear.

    We’ve built enough starting bonuses that reaching 46 isn’t really a challenge, so now the drafting just feels like a slog.

    I think from here on out we’re going to be looking up hints just to get to the finish line. [Edit: spoiler tags aren’t working for me, removing them for now]


















  • Like you, OP, I’m going to be a parent in a few months. So far I’ve enjoyed “The Expectant Father” and “The New Father”. Both of those take a month by month approach and focus on the emotions the father, mother and baby are going through, their relationships to each other, and some practical advice like what to pack in your hospital bag.

    I also really enjoyed "Bringing Up Bebe", which follows an American expat learning about French parenting. The advice is mostly sound, but more importantly, it exposes you to a completely different philosophy on parenting (unless of course, you happen to be French, OP). This lets you to reexamine your own assumptions about parenting that you may have learned from your family or tv, and you can decide for yourself what kind of parent you want to be.

    Hope this helps!
