I just watched Wishbone

I do read extremely fast in my native language (Spanish). Feels like entire sentences go straight into concepts and my brain builds a whole world based on what I’m reading.

However I started reading in a verbalized way with my second and third languages (English and Swedish) because I was completely useless at pronunciation, while reading at a high level. So I had to learn the sounds and they started invading my reading, which I sort of resent.

But the verbalization is still very mild; faint, monotone, non-enunciated.

Some people talked about poetry and I hadn’t considered that my absolute lack of poetry-sense could be related. People have told me about the metrics and whatnot and it really doesn’t click. I have to sort of analyze a poem and explain it to myself in prose, and I imagine that defeats the purpose of poetry?

Whenever we drive through one of these we’re stressed about finding the right exit and the GPS stops working inside the tunnels so we end up coming out where we didn’t mean to.

We don’t own a car or anything anymore, but I really don’t miss these.

Same. My partner and I are engaged but there’s never going to be a diamond in the picture. If they had found the diamond ritual important, we wouldn’t be too compatible.

I also cannot deal with rings in general due to sensory issues.

We do want to find some kind of wearable, interesting symbol though.

I never liked that part about The Matrix. It’d be an extremely inefficient process.

Seems to be the same as it started near Grindavík, the city that was evacuated previously as a precaution.

This is such a beautiful comment.

Logseq has worked best for me and my ADHD so far.

This sounds like a boast but it’s actually sad? Like I live in Europe and a lot of people I know seriously have functional alcoholism, but it’s normal enough that nobody thinks it a problem until it is. Alcohol is a pretty strong drug. It doesn’t matter if you can “take it”, it’s still doing things in your body.

I’m 37 and never really developed an appreciation for the bitter taste, so I’m neither a coffee drinker (not even the milk/sugar types) or a beer drinker; I also don’t like dark chocolate. I’ve tried, but it just never became enjoyable.

For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I’m also passively seeding more.

This is what I live for. :D

I agree with most of that. In formal settings, I prefer full sentences with conjunctions; however, choppy sentences are the ones that often end up in my Lemmy comments.

Yes, I tend to do that, and thankfully some of my colleagues do too. Clever but readable solutions, following good and relevant practices, clear documentation, making a good MR description that makes it easier to review, and more.

I am really happy when people are quite strict in code reviews, it makes me feel safer and I get to learn more.

Nothing worse than some silent approvals with no real feedback. What if I missed something obvious… and now it’s merged.

To be fair, I also enjoy getting my grammar corrected. I’m juggling 3 languages and things can get messy.

I got the “doubling down” part, but hadn’t seen that the screenshot was about a Dublin location until another user pointed it out.

This is why I left medicine.

For the uninitiated, what does Dublin have to do with chickens? I searched but I just got restaurants from Ireland.

The website also put me off, I only kept at it because my partner was already using it and it looked solid enough. I even asked “Are you sure this is the logseq? It looks so…idk Marketing?”

But so far I just seem to use it a lot, and the more I use it the more useful I find it, especially after learning how to add tags (didn’t seem particularly obvious in the docs), and after finally getting into the flow of using Syncthing.

Logseq is the only note taking system that has clicked with me, by lowering the mental overhead at the time of adding notes. I just throw it in there without any considerations while still feeling like it’s not going to get lost. Later I may revisit the day’s journal and add tags or connect other information, move a block into its own page, etc.

Zoomed in, my competence is a bunch of sharp spikes in both directions. Zoomed out, I’m rather competent overall. I find most people to be more consistent day to day. My confidence fluctuates with the spikes.

I don’t know how to zoom out, but I’m trying to at least detach my self-esteem from my performance.
