Good take. Some things are not even worth engaging with and my life has been much calmer since that realization.

Going back to the shower thought, turning off your hearing aids during an argument is like a live version of putting someone on mute.

Language learning is one thing that can be done when you only have your phone on you but want to be productive. Browsing Wikipedia can also lead you down some interesting rabbit holes where you end up learning something new. I’ll also use downtime to clean up my files and photos.

This must be one of those two wolves that we are always being told are inside us.

First, it’s not only you: making plans that accommodate everyone’s schedules and budgets can be tricky, especially if a lot of people are involved, so you might not be doing anything wrong. You can try letting them know what you want to do earlier in advance so that they know not to make plans for the day. People are more likely to respond to concrete dates, times, and locations instead of vague ones.

Also not all of your friends are going to share your hobbies and interests and that’s ok. Try inviting just the ones you know for sure enjoy the things you do, or joining clubs or activity groups for those things to potentially meet new people to do them with. The time with your other friends can be spent on things you know they want to participate in and can afford.

Metallic mini backpack.

Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.

For my next trick, I’ll be turning a liter of spirits into domestic violence.

 

Talk nerdy to me :D

Fake Traveler is another GPS spoofer that was recommended online, since you say MockGPS didn’t work consistently for you.

I have on several occasions left my uncovered leg as an offering for them so that they would stop zzzzZzzzZZzZing in my ear while I’m trying to sleep. They do it anyway. This is why we don’t negotiate with terrorists.
