It’s busy but it looks similar to how I’ve been wanting to set up my home screen for ages. I have the standard grid right now but I took a look at some widgets and I’m having a vision of a brighter future lol. Redoing my home screen will be my self-care activity this weekend haha

I feel like there are kinder ways to express your opinion than to say “ew” about something someone made for themselves…

Psychologist, work in schools. I feel like I’m slightly more tech-inclined than my peers but idk

I’m not great with math so please let me know if I’m understanding this right:

1. Company has 100 employees
2. All 100 employees quit
3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

= 100% turnover rate

Then…

4. Company has the 100 new employees
5. 50 of the new employees quit
6. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

= 150% turnover rate

and so on?

how can you have a turnover rate over 100%?

Sort of tangentially related to this… Today I was telling my mom about something I bought and I mentioned the brand + a general description of the item. About an hour later, she showed me a screenshot of her Facebook feed with an ad for the exact brand and item even though she didn’t google it, etc. Makes me so uncomfortable. I’d feel a lot better if I knew specifically how they were getting the data so I could try to block it.

All good!

Perhaps that’s why they said

Zoomers overall

Also not sure what’s so inconsiderate about their comment. I feel like it’s pretty widely accepted that zoomers generally don’t have the same tech problem-solving skills that many gen x/y people do. No one’s claiming they’re dumb. It’s a byproduct of growing up with tech that has been designed for simplicity and ease of use.

Single game would be Skyrim, series would be Pokemon or Harvest Moon. I haven’t put a significant amount of time into a game or series in a loooooong time :/

I’d been considering asking my doctor about this but I figure it’s not going to make much of a difference at this point. I have ADHD and got my hearing tested a few years ago because I was concerned about how often I couldn’t understand what people were saying.

Nope, my hearing is perfect. My brain just has a hard time decoding sounds sometimes I guess. A lot of times people sound like they’re mumbling. I’ve started telling people that I’m hard of hearing and asked them to speak a bit louder, slower, and more clearly. Makes a big difference!

I was in a meeting with one of my school’s principals and he whipped one of these out. I had my own pen to sign with but I kinda wanted to ask if I could use his lol

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are continuing to stick with it + be supportive. I didn’t expect anything beyond the planned end of the blackout, although I didn’t expect thousands of subreddits to participate in that either. Either way I’ve basically cut Reddit out entirely. I used to scroll 2-3hrs a day and I’m down to maybe 10 minutes once or twice a week when I’m trying to find an answer to something. Attempting to fill my newfound free time has been… fun

i’m so confused. what do you need all of this for. why are you being so secretive. what could possibly be this dramatic
