Both!
Always go a list nowadays as I have ADHD and if I go for three things I will forget one of them. The list is what I must get, but once there, I get what is on the list and then maybe get a few more things that I forgot to put on the list.
So I never really make a full and complete list, just a list of necessities and wing the rest.
I did date a single parent, and it wasn’t any better or worse than any other relationship.

OP said it was not for integrity, which is wrong because it is for multiple things including integrity.
They want everyone in the office for the same hours so we can collaborate. But we don’t need to collaborate for 8 hours a day and it is perfectly fine for people to come in at 7 and leave by 3:30, and hour and a half early, because of the stupid early to rise bullshit. But fuck me for asking if I could do the opposite when my kiddo is done with school and come in at 9:30 to 6 (half hour lunch required) because that would be too late in the morning.
It is all stupid.
The well paying jobs that don’t have massive amounts of overtime are 8-5.
I am not a morning person. Ever since starting an office job where I have to get up at 6 a.m. to get the kiddo to school so I can make it to work by 8:00 has been a continuously escalating level of exhaustion because it doesn’t matter how much sleep I get, it is when.
It is less bad during the summer on the days I get to work from home as I can at least sleep till 7:30 or so. If I could just work 10-6 with no lunch I would never be tired again, but too many people in leadership positions see rising early as a virtue because that is what they were always told or they happen to be morning people.
No, don’t tell me I have a sleeping disorder or I just need to work on going to bed early unless you tell people who wake up early that they should just sleep in. Different people have different sleep schedules and it only looks like a disorder because of social expectations.
They are referring to the thing that is used to wipe the ass, like a wet wipe or toilet paper.
It gives your body time to start digesting, and once digesting it is like “I got to work on this food, don’t need any more just yet.” If you eat fast enough that the digestion doesn’t kick in then you still feel as hungry as you did initially and you have to fill your stomach before that feeling kicks in.

For me the big problem is that as a kid I would eat something for breakfast and then one big meal a day after playing outside constantly, so my eating pattern is wolfing down food until I feel like I could burst. That doesn’t work well when life changed to have three scheduled meals a day, but it did take a decade or two and a desk job to really catch up with me. Still a struggle not to over eat, especially with people around me encouraging me to eat more.
When there are enough, which changes depending on circumstances. Many things are approximates and understanding that there is no correct answer is gaining true understanding.
We will never truly know what nothing sounds like because our ears and our sense of touch that feels sound vibrations pick up our own internal noises made by biology. We can approach the sound of nothing, but we will never be able to hear it as long as we have senses.
How we perceive colors is scientifically defined as the colors being absorbed and not really a thought experiment like the first two. A fun question would be what prompts plants to create new colors?
Choice has the value we give it, nothing more. We are one small species on a planet in a solar system in a galaxy that is part of a galaxy cluster that is part of the overall universe. When life on Earth fades away the universe and everything in it will move on, and the only meaning that exists is that which we create in our minds.
There is a lot of peace in knowing that nothing truly has meaning, because it means we actually make those choices out of free will and not because there are no universal right and wrong choices.
No I mean fire breathing dragons. Possibly ice dragons.
Being honest with myself: They don’t exist so you really can’t decide how you would interact with them.
Yes, I am enlightened.
I thought about things a lot and accepted my faults and bad habits without excuses.
I know exactly who I am and am at peace with being less than perfect, but aware of what I need to do to be better. Knowing doesn’t guarantee success though, sometimes it requires constant work.
I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about with the dragons. If you mean Komodo dragons, I sure wouldn’t ride those as they are fucking dangerous.
You are not honest with yourself if you believe you are honest with yourself.
Saying that it is impossible to be honest with one’s self is self defeating. The rest of the post explains why, but if you can’t get past someone disagreeing with you then I can see why you struggle with the idea of being able to be honest with yourself.
Being honest with ourselves is how we can improve.
You are not honest with yourself if you believe you are honest with yourself.
That is a load of self defeating bullshit.
It is often difficult, but not impossible, to be honest with ourselves. Hell, there might even be things we didn’t consider because they slipped our minds, like whether we acted in a selfish way or not when we were 10 years old, but that doesn’t mean we are not being honest with ourselves. Being honest means that when we do think about something specific, we can consider our thoughts and actions and not hardwave them away without thought. It also acknowledges that things are often complicated and how we see things and how others perceive us doesn’t align.
But being honest doesn’t mean perfectly perceiving everything, it means actually thinking things through and not letting our pride or other hang ups get in the way of introspection.
Acknowledging that sometimes you avoid thinking about certain things is part of being honest with yourself, even when it is subconcious. Being aware of who you are doesn’t automatically change anything.
That is not universal, some of us have actually thought about things for a long time and are honest with ourselves.
For me, movies/tv or novels/short stories because games just don’t make me feel afraid. Seeing something happen to someone else is actually mkre immersive for me, because most games have game engine limitations that remind me I am playing a game.
It can still be good as a game, just hot as horrifying. Also, gore and violence are not horrific to me on their own either, they can compliment the real horror I find terrifying which is powerlessness or losing a sense of self.
I do have filters on what I say in different contexts, but do not consider it a mask as I will always say the same things outside of the filtered contexts. So while I don’t bring up a lot of things at work, it is simply because it isn’t relevant to work and isn’t something I want to talk about at work. There isn’t a presentation of something else.
Like I don’t bring up hobbies for the same reason I don’t bring up my sex life, it just isn’t relevant. I don’t consider anything like that to be a mask.
The closest would be that I phrase things at work in a more positive and less critical manner, but it is pretty subtle and if that is considered masking then the word loses a lot of meaning for people who behave completely differently from who they are due to social pressures.
Can’t be from the show, Malcolm isn’t in the middle.
Maybe every 5 or so years, and generally there has been something worth upgrading the mobo for like new connections for storage. So far it has been when it struggled with 75+ FPS in games that I care about at the settings I want.
Since it is so spread out I can’t say it is a solid pattern, but so far each CPU and mobo upgrade have been together with a new set of RAM and occasionally I get extra RAM in between. Hard drives/SSDs and GPUs are whenever but generally they are years apart too.
People who haven’t upgraded in 5+ years and need a newer PC also need to buy RAM.
