I totally have. You're stuck in traffic, someone comes up washes your windshield and demands money. I felt way less safe than being on a train car that happened to have a tweaker or homeless person minding their own business.
Since moving to NYC and taking mostly trains and buses I haven't had anything like that happen and I've been back for 5+ years at this point.
You're asking the right question at least. It's about persistent effective action, what kills that is motivation.
If daily affirmations or visualizing a goal keeps you motivated, great. I went through about 6 months of job hunting last year, doing literally anything but writing apps helped me clear my head so when I started again I got into a rhythm more easily.
I think it's just important to track your progress. What have you attempted, what is the status of things you're currently trying etc will help you determine if whatever you're doing to stay motivated is working and if not you know you need to change your approach.
If that same income was spread out amongst people in low paying jobs, they would be spending that money on rent, food utilities, and going out. There are a lot more of them so they will each have less to save which means the money is circulating more and stimulating a larger part of the economy.
Nah, you make the most progress fighting through frustrating parts.
You do need the dopamine checkpoints to stay motivated, but you really learn by banging your head against a wall for a week or a month, then you get the dopamine hit after when a skill that used to be difficult is suddenly second nature.
Learning topics like math or history, just dive into things you may not be ready for and just take it slow, looking up things you don't know as you encounter them.
For skills, it might help to get a teacher for more physical things, like athletics or music, so you don't hurt yourself. For arts, unless you need a studio, just try it and follow YouTube tutorials as you go.
Independent learning will almost always be slower than a teacher, but at least you'll make progress.
I don't really derive a sense of accomplishment from it, so I don't get the dopamine hit. It's more write a simple bash script to do X because I hate working in that syntax, or this library has terrible documentation, tell me how I'm supposed to use it.
You still need to read and understand everything it writes, but it's easier to validate something is correct sometimes rather than figure out the correct way to do something.
Also the freaking essays it writes as comments burying the useful information in the equivalent of a recipe blog post when you really just need assumptions about input, and side effects.
Nah, put them through the legal system and see how they last in our prison system, and not one of the white collar cushy ones. Maybe they'll end up spending some of their money on improving our penal system then.
It sounds like the suspension of the prison term isn't a special case, and he also can't drive for 3 years. I don't think this is especially favoritism for drivers over cyclists. Sounds like a normal accident with a reasonable sentence for that country for an accidental death
Wade was handed a 10-month prison sentence, suspended for two years. He was also banned from driving for three years and ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid community work.
Noting that the incident did not involve alcohol, drugs, phone use, or racing, judge Nadim explained that, following Wade’s early guilty plea, the appropriate prison term was 10 months. However, new sentencing guidelines meant that any jail time under 12 months would result in a suspended sentence, “unless there were exceptional circumstances”.
En passant is when they're moving so fast they can't stop to think about the harm being done by them on the behalf of the 1%
They do know nukes will blow them up as well right?
Try grapes next, it'll blow your mind. Let them thaw a little and they're slushy because of the high sugar content.
Does building an effigy to burn count?

I look up at the clouds and pray my hard drive doesn't crap out.
But god forbid they hire a woman

I'll give you Bawls and Pixie Sticks as for wannabe edgy kids, but DDR was mostly otaku and otaku adjacent.
If that were true Hindi speakers would be terrible at math.

I never got a high from coding, now compiling and seeing your tests have a green [PASS] next to them is a different story.

Yeah, but we can still vent and post guillotine memes.

How are you file I/O limited with an agentic system?
They're not doing it to be quirky or politically correct, it's to avoid automated censors on platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
