Had hardly a few minutes to write something properly. So I put all my remaining thoughts in the title.

MY experience with HP and Pavilion in particular been :
- NEVER ANY MORE IN MY LIFE ANOTHER ONE
- crap build quality
- non-upgradeable
- poor performance
- cannot install Linux on it ( not sure why, tried the impossible )
- battery went soon shit
Overall my impression is that HP is NOT "a good brand" for laptops.
What do you think
I just read some of the best advice ever and I think it applies in adulthood too (inspite of being arrested for it).
The best way to stand up to a bully is to fight back, and really make it count.
I've dealt with bullies almost my entire life and I can confirm that is an effective strategy. It's bullies who don't like when there's someone stronger than them. So this is the point of making it count when you do fight back. Not saying outright murder, but more like a life long thing to reflect the suffering you've endured.
And sometimes that is the best way to make peace.
Gary Hensel: "You're so hard on yourself. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life. At the grief that softened you, at the heartache that wisened you, at the suffering that strengthened you. Despite everything, you still grow. Be proud of this."
interested in opinions about purchasing an iMac. Would be trading in my M1 MacBook Pro so that I can have a larger screen (I rarely travel these days so portability is not a concern). Guessing I probably want to go for the 512 GB version and am considering the certified refurbished program but wondering if it really makes sense, and would love to hear any advice on any aspect of this from people who know more than me!
Im looking for a scale capable of measuring body composition. I dont mind spending on it. I do mind if it requires an app.
I just need it to tell me the vitals its measuring, not be smart about it.
Edit: I might have found precisely what Im looking for from Omron, $90 on Amazon.

P PROTIP: Tossing "word salad," or "essay," or "thesis" at someoene who wrote a long, thoughtful, and consoderate post, only to follow it up with a vacuous sentence of sheer nothingness It doesn't make the person you're attacking look bad, it only ensures that you come across as an obnoxiously vapid anti-intellectual. If that's your goal, though Great. You're doing a good job.
-Footnote 2
Radical cyclists advice be like: 'Point your front light straight forward instead of on the road! Because omg it's the 'cars' which are so dangerous!'
If you like to take advice from them then by all means go ahead. I mean what could possibly go wrong when you can't see the road you're driving on AND blinding the person who drives the 2 ton car coming in your direction.
It's just very very silly.
Just did my 3rd block ever on Mastodon. 1st was being needlessly rude, 2nd was for saying I deserved to die in a terrorist attack (yikes), and this one was for arrogant unsolicited advice. I believe you should not give strangers advice unless they ask for it. Ideally you should not give anyone advice. What you should do instead, if anything, is ask them questions to help them figure out what would help them. But I guess that doesn't give people the same ego boost now does it

How do I become a better writer when I hate reading
I like telling stories, but I dont care so much for reading them. Its not for me. But the number one advice to become a better author is to read a lot.
Is there anything else I can do
, , Writing SE, 2019
This was my answer back in 2019
As a dyslexic, I understand the general aversion to reading. As someone who loves storytelling, I nevertheless want to be exposed to stories.
There are some life-hacks for the reading adverse that want to write.
Get the audiobook
Not only does an audiobook outsource the reading to someone else, but it is something you can listen to while travelling to work, sitting on the bus, or whatever.
Read along with the audiobook
There is a second use of audiobooks that I do not see discussed much read-alongs. As a kid, I loved read-along storybooks. I must have listened to Autobots Lightning Strike so often it must have driven my mother spare. To this day, I can still replay the whole thing in my head.
Reading along with the narrator takes the pressure off. If you want to just get used to the pleasure of holding a book and get a feel for the flow of words on a page, this is ideal.
Record audiobooks
There are sites you can go on (Ill let you find them yourself) where you can get paid to read and record audiobooks. If you are the sort of person for whom money is a great motivator then this one is for you.
Find a series to be passionate about
For me as a kid, it was robots and adventure stories. My mum gave me the Enid Blyton book, The Boy Next Door and I was soon reading every one of her books as fast as my mum could buy them for me. These days, I find those books boring and repetitive but thats just because my tastes have changed.
I know of other dyslexics who never read at all. That is until Harry Potter hit the shops. Suddenly it did not matter how exhausting it was to read, they wanted to find out what happened next.
When your passion for a series, genre, or author gets strong enough, nothing will stop you from getting hold of more and just reading the heck out of them. Terry Pratchetts books are great for this.
There is a reason us nerds and geeks tend to be experts we consume everything there is to find on our favourite subjects. Dont like fiction Try travel guides, technical manuals, science textbooks, biographies whatever floats your boat. You are not likely to learn story writing so fast but you will pick up a thing or two about tone and pacing.
Join a writers group
No matter how much you generally avoid writing, the quid quo pro of reading a little of a persons work and offering feedback in return for a load of feedback on your work forces you to read but in a fun setting with people that you can get along with.
As the reading is bite-sized and you take a break to discuss it afterwards it hardly feels like reading at all.
Learn about the theory of storytelling
There are some amazing videos on youtube that dig into the mechanics and theory of storytelling (film, TV, and books). Terms to search the heros journey, the three-act structure (also the five-act structure and seven-act structure too), and storytelling tropes.
This will turn all your Netflix binges into storyteller training. Although, I have to warn you that learning the patterns of storytelling will spoil some of the more formulaic series.
I spend a fair amount of time deconstructing the story pace in my favourite Netflix shows. I write humour and so tend to try and work out why a joke is funny. That is not for everyone but it works for me.
Make your peace with reading
Sooner or later, if you are serious about writing, you will have to make a sort of begrudging peace with reading. Some dyslexics I know invest in coloured overlays which help calm the text down and make it easier to read. Others read exclusively on their phones (dont ask me why it sounds terrible to me).
What helps is that the more you read, the more you enjoy reading and the easier it gets. Even if you are dyslexic or for some other reason a weak reader. Sure, you start off at a disadvantage but that only means you need a bit more effort to catch up. Read books you love and you will hardly notice you are doing it.
Watch and read
Some of the better adaptations are so much more enjoyable to read after you have seen the series. Good Omens is a perfect example of that. Watch it, read it, and then watch it again. It is amazing.
I would add in 2024
I stand by my answer. Id add something but I stand by it.
Today, I would add that a good streaming service can feed you many examples of good stories. You wont pick up on the word-to-word skills you might with reading but if you actively watch, you will still learn from them.

I'm working on some artwork now for a new tattoo, and I'm only just realizing how much I've improved. It's actually kind of crazy. Even though it's almost a trace, it's got details that make it so unique and pop out.
It reminds me of why I gave up on hope. I slapped it in the face. I couldn't stand living to its expectations, so I forged my own path, into one which I feared, but one that I know can only bring results. That being the unknown. Because with complete darkness comes complete possibilities with a chance of light.
That's why I haven't given up on my hobbies. Hope, practise, and even progress to an extent, are meaningless so long as you don't pathe your own way forward. Already given the advice about copying to find a style by accident which has helped me several times now. The only way is up now it seems. It took years, but I'm finally there.
The internet was not a mistake, it was overlooked.
Not sure if this has ever been said, but there is plenty that the internet is good for. It's just that people and corporations for that matter, will use it to bad effect. News sources create aggression and scare mongering. Content creators will create drama at the worst of times. And advertisements are so invasive, you feel mentally violated.
All this literally leads to that aggression. But if you are faced with these things in a real life situation, you wouldn't react as harshly to these things. Advertisements not as invasive. Content creators or well, popular people, not as they seem online (in a good way usually), and news sources well they're still dicks, but it's avoidable and doesn't spread as frequently by word.
This is to say that we lose sight of our real selves. Ironically I couldn't say anything like this in person both because of anxiety and speech issues (+ autism). But I'll try.
