what addiction have you kicked? no matter how insignificant you feel it was
  • Nicotine.

    I stopped counting when my last nicotine hit was, which I think might be the key here. A couple of years at least.

    No urges, never even think about it.

    How many hours a day do you actually work?
  • When I used to work in the office I probably worked about 5 hours a day at most. The rest was spent on personal projects, fucking around, whatever

    Now that I work from home it varies between two and four.

    My production is exactly the same.

    Mike Pence tours Iowa state fair in search of votes – but who is his candidacy aimed at?
  • His "candidacy" is to have his living expenses covered for another year while squirreling away enough cash so he doesn't ever have to be an AM radio talk show host again.

    What is an iconic catchphrase from your grandparents?
  • "Putang ina." ("Son of a whore")

    They said this charming Filipino phrase whenever I did something stupid. So, often enough to count as a catchphrase.

    What do you think about Guy Fieri ?

    What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?
  • Allies.

    This isn't the 90s anymore. Today, unmoderated/poorly moderated online spaces are breeding grounds for the usual toxic assholes who ruin everything.

    Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

    What are you reading this week? [July 3-July 9, 2023]
  • The level of research is evident---Tim Powers doesn't skimp on the details at all. I normally don't like espionage thrillers but he makes the Great Game come alive. And that's before the weirder elements come in.
