edit: thinking about it, you probably were talking about people on the fediverse doing this out of turn and not the example I was thinking of.

I was. Collective "you" and not a personal "you". Could've been more clear I suppose. I usually try to say "one" instead of "[collective] you" but sometimes that makes the phrasing awkward.

Edit: For clarity, the "you" used here is the collective you and not "you" as in the account I'm replying to.

For the record, I agree with your example and personally won't eat/buy The Lord's Chicken™. But do you really think you've changed anyone's mind? Probably not. All you've accomplished is making yourself feel morally superior. You don't like something? Fine, more power to you. Don't buy/support the thing (you should see the ever-growing list of companies and subsidiaries I won't buy from). But also don't slide into the DMs of other people's lives and shit all over what little brings them joy. Why is this hard?

Go for it. You don 't even have to credit me. I consider everything I post to be public domain anyway, double-so if it's used for good.

10 years ago, I'd snooze until the last moment and then rush to get ready on time. No idea why; just couldn't force myself out of bed.

Today (including, literally, this morning) I'm awake at least 15-30 minutes before my alarm goes off. Wake up ritual is basically:

• Pee
• Put coffee on
• Let dogs outside
• Have coffee on the patio while the dogs do their business and play
• Answer any texts/messages that came in after I went to bed
• Check the news and weather
• If time allows, read a chapter of whatever book I'm on
• Start getting ready for work

I think the change was realizing those extra 20-30 minutes of sleep (if I could even get back to sleep at all) weren't going to make me any more awake when I do have to get up. Then it was just a matter of figuring out how to use that time effectively.

Bonus/Derivative meme, and I don't know why this made me laugh so much:

Apparently I still have some curating to do on my subscription/blocks. It's not about any one specific person - just the Debbie Downers that pop up.

Yeah, I was in that situation. Hard copies were limited to used paperbacks for $150. Yikes.

I ended up buying the audiobook and high-seas'd the epub which I'm reading. I refuse to buy DRM'd ebooks but I do want the authors to get paid, so I compromise by buying the audiobook (which is a bit more expensive than the DRM'd e-edition) and acquiring the epub by...other means.

Not so much "watch" but I'm about 1/3 through Andrew Robinson's "A Stitch in Time". The way it's written, it's the perfect book to pick up and read when I have a few spare moments.

My saved items / wish list is full of stuff I want and could use. When I have some extra money, it's difficult to choose one thing, and I get stuck in limbo. So given I could set limits and hit a button, I feel like it would help me.

Despite posting a photo of the book in my hand, I haven't read it for a good minute. You're referring to the clinic scene? (I think that's first in the book, but not 100%).
