Jailbreaking my iPhone because stock iOS is boring and there are so many QOL features I’m used to, I can’t imagine using iOS without them

Throw away something I haven't touched in the past 2 years. It's helped me declutter my home.

Dr Bronner's liquid castile soap

Alba botanica maximum lotion (I got very dry skin)

Rotring, Staedtler, Pentel for writing utensils

Lenovo Thinkpads

I paint gaming miniatures, and the only varnish I will use is Testors brand. One pass with high gloss because it's more protective, one pass with "dullcote" because it gives it a matte and neutral finish.

Every other product I've tried has turned out cloudy, frosted, not the finish I want, or even cracked. So at some point I stopped attempting to find an alternative and just only use Testors.

See, they only sell it at one craft store in my area and it's in a locked case so you have to get an employee and there's only like two in the whole store. And it's expensive. So I don't like that hassle, wanted to find something easier to get, but nothing was ever even acceptable. So, it's Testors Dullcote only.

If you booze often, B1 vitamin will make you feel like a relatively normal human. You will still piss out your ass, but strength and endurance gains are still achievable. The only thing holding back this functional alcoholic is sleep. Booze destroys my sleep so I should prob quit, it's aging me.

Your two minute rule is a lot like my rule where if I think of something I just do it now, or never do it at all! I don’t quantify the time it takes which can be problematic but it helps still.

I swear by Mitsubishi 9850 HB pencils. They are incredible.

My motto: if you do what you did, you get what you got.

It mostly serves to remind me (and my public, voluntarily or otherwise) that if you are unhappy with something and want it to change for the better, you'll have to change parameters (i.e. your approach) or you will just get the same result.

Good shoes and a good mattress. Those things can really have a profound impact on quality of life.

Sugar alternatives like allulose and monkfruit have been making my life so much better recently. A little more pricey than sugar, but so much better for you and allows me to keep enjoying a sweet cup of tea in the morning without any of the downsides

Chain wallet. Might be uncool depending on your fit but you'll never lose it. I was skeptical until I got one.

A good home cooked meal.

Usually right next to the thing that caused me to cuss.

Laptop: post-classic Thinkpads, especially the series 30

Multitool: Leatherman

Soap: Dr. Bronner

Zebra F-301 Pink Barrel / Black Ink 0.7mm

I had been using the regular F-301 pen since my early twenties. A year ago, I found a seller on Amazon that was selling the pink barrel / black ink F-301’s for what works out to be $2.10 a piece. My pens tend to go missing from time to time at work, so I bought a bunch.

Worth it.

I too like fancy pencils. Mitsubishi's range are my faves.

People are assholes, who greedily eat up kindness and never, ever return it, no matter how much you need it in the moment.

They'll trauma dump on you, and not even listen to a word of your problems.

They'll beg you to help them push their dead car half a mile home, and guffah hard and say they arent your slave if you ask them to pick something up when they'll already on their way to your place.. something important for the favor you're doing for them.

They demand respect, but the second you expect it in turn you are worthless trash.

Its not a matter of if they hurt you, its simply a matter of when.
