As someone who was involved in Greek life in college, it is sad that I am not surprised by this. The amount of times I heard “better dead than coed” as a half joke was just sad. And I was part of a coed fraternity that had active members who were women. They always complained when we had problem members who were women, using it as an excuse as to why we shouldn’t Be coed, but turned the other way when we had male members who were an actual detriment to the chapter.

I don’t think Greek life is inherently a bad thing, as it really helped me come out of my shell during college, and I made some lifelong friends from it. It really needs a cultural shift though, because they still have some pretty dated ideas

That looks very clean, and I like the fact that you can have bookmarks and other QOL features with it. I may have to take a peek at that one as well

Ok that’s super interesting. That is much cleaner than my current way of downloading my books to my iPad, so I’ll have to check that out and see how easy it is to integrate

Huh ok, I’ll have to give zathura a peek. Sounds interesting

Yeah I love calibre. I use it to manage my main library on my server, in addition to calibre-web for managing my front end. It’s really good at managing a ton of ebooks

I absolutely get that sentiment. That’s what killed it for me the first time even though I was doing so well. Around thanksgiving a couple years ago, I decided to top tracking because “oh it’s the holiday, I might as well enjoy it”, and then Covid hit and I really said fuck it.

I got back into it last year after I finally decided to get myself medicated. It started off rough, and I definitely missed some days, or skipped some days because “why would I count, I know I’m going to go over anyways?”, but eventually the habit stuck and it’s been almost a year since I’ve started tracking. It’s still tedious at times, but it’s become second nature to log my foods when I’m making a meal. It may be slow going at first, and it may take a few tries for it to stick, but eventually it will

I have a shortcut that turns on my tv’s in the morning (Apple TV), switches them to Spotify, and plays a logo music playlist for me. It lets me have music playing throughout my house as I’m waking up making breakfast

I’m starting to try and learn it right now, and it really doesn’t seem that bad. To be fair I’m mostly going through books and documentation to make sure I understand the differences before I jump in. Learning some of the specific features of the language doesn’t seem too bad either

I’m currently going through the frustration of having to get a psych evaluation through my psychiatrist’s office to get prescribed stimulant meds.

My PCP was fine giving them to me because I’ve been seeing him for the last 20ish years. He recommended I go and see a psychiatrist though since the meds he tried for me were giving me weird side effects, and seeing a specialist would be better for me. It has been great seeing a specialist, especially with the therapy since it helps me learn some other coping mechanisms besides meds.

I’m currently trying to switch to Concerta because Straterra was just making me so tired all the time, and my psychiatrist said trying these new meds would help. Turns out to get the stimulant medications, I need a psych evaluation according to their office guidelines, and the soonest appointment I could get was mid September. It really sucks, but I understand that they are probably slammed. It just really sucks to have to deal with meds I don’t like for a few months because it’s better than the unmedicated alternative

You know, I’ve never implemented Conway’s game of life, and that sounds like an excellent way to work on a new language
