  • I agree with everything. Though we shouldn’t forget that Lemmy also allows for that sort of mindless scrolling and it needs afford to not get trapped in that. It’s far from perfect but it’s still better than nothing, because as you said, we gain so much from all the interactions, discussions and topics to engage in. Personally I believe we also always grow to become a better person via engaging instead of only consuming or ignoring. Of course you can still build your own bubble, but that’s with everything.








  • Start small and do one thing right and stick to it. Look at a YouTube video explaining you how to do that one exercise correctly. If you feel pain, you do it wrong.

    That’s it, that’s the whole magic.

    Start with something light, like 5 pushups, every other day and keep doing so. Soon you wan to do 5 pushups and 5 deadlifts and 5 crunches. Then you start to quadruple the amount and at some point your workout becomes too long, so you split it up. That’s it, you’re in.

    All these fitness apps are total overkill. You start the workout and then boom “do these 20 things in 40 reps”. Nah, that’s how people get frustrated and stop.

    Also sore muscles will go away at some point. I only ever get sore muscles when I work out something new or had a long break.


  • Only nightmare’s related to my real life. Multiple and they were all related to people ghosting me, ignoring me or publicly blaming me for something I didn’t do. I always woke up all sweaty, as in my dreams I tried everything to befriend people.

    I tried to convince them, be happy and friendly but at the end they all left me alone or made me feel like a piece of shit. People were running away from me and me chasing them made no difference. Explaining myself for something I didn’t even do, didn’t interest anyone. Also saying nice things was twisted around to make me feel bad.

    Often I spend the rest of the dream trying to figure out what I did wrong. Often I saw myself as young child, crying, with no parents I could go to and ask for help. Often the dream turned all narrow, like walls left and right, so I couldn’t simply take a different route or escape.

    They were pretty scary, because I’m used to have, like half of my dreams be, lucid dreams. At least those I remember, always give me some sort of control. Often when I want to avoid a situation in them and I try really hard, I can escape by flight or something else. But those… No escape. Made me skip work for two days.
