Good one!

Any tips for finding good English language content? The most popular stuff seems to be in German

Reduce first but have attainable goals. Go easy and steady.

For some folks cold Turkey works best but it might not be for you.

Most importantly, find a reason that’s really important to you.

Maybe try sports - something measurable. It easier to tell yourself no after a cardio as you realise how it ruins what you just achieved.

Anyone has any idea why you can’t buy Mi Band 1S anywhere nowadays? Like literally nowhere - almost. There is this store: https://geecr.com/product/mi-band-1s

But it seems kinda scammy?

What do you mean firmware isn’t?

What is it called?

Can I use my current Signal account/use it with other people that rely on Signal?

What is it and why?

Thank you :)

We are not even that close, we have a casual chat once in a blue moon and she is very nice. I just want to make sure she can get help when she needs it.

That is really cool, but too techy for me. I need something plug and play.

But thank you so much for this suggestion and code offer!

Thanks for you answers so far.

My point is, she is still mentally there (I think) so if she wants one of those subscription buttons, she can 100% get it herself.

I was just thinking, as an extra layer of security, if I’m in the area to help out.

If I could find a wireless doorbell that would send me a push notification that would be perfect!

That’s a great rule “three before me” - worth noting down!

Don’t forget about the number one - you!

But in this case, I feel it might be positive for both sides. Just don’t do something purely for the sake of others if you don’t feel it makes you happy as well. It’s unhealthy and unsustainable.

Not 100% true. Some people are more egocentric, like us, but they never look out for any other way of being. These people, will talk and talk and talk for hours, unprompted. Nobody asks them, because they will talk anyway.

You, my friend, made a step forward to becoming a better conversationalist. You asked us for our opinion. Make a change if you feel it will make a positive impact on your life. Observe how your family and friends respond :)

Start small!

I had a similar issue and two things helped.

1. I once heard that people like to talk more than listen (which was true for me). In addition, a great conversationalist is a person that ask and listens - not the loud, funny outspoken one. People will have a laugh and will listen to you for a little while, but will eventually get bored because they didn’t have an opportunity to participate themselves. So what I started doing now is asking a lot of questions, even if I’m not 100% genuinely interested in the answer, but eventually the other person will say something that will bring us closer together and will give us something to talk about. The second rule of this game, is to try as hard as possible not to say anything unless asked. This is the hard part :D But once you catch yourselves giving opinions/story telling unprompted - stop - back to asking questions.

You wouldn’t believe how much it changed my life. I used to be extremely nervous about going out 1v1 even with my close friends, out of fear of “What are we going to talk about?”“What if there is going to be an awkward silence” etc. Now I thrive and I love hearing from people, what’s new in their lives and so on. And I noticed people like to talk to me a lot more too!

2. Realise that “opinions are like assholes - everyone has got one” - and this works in two ways. Respect that your opinion is not definite and final - listen and maybe somebody will say something that will make you revaluate your “truths”. Learn. That’s the only way to grow. Also, don’t give opinion unless asked - sometimes people just need to vent. Not always you need to be there to fix things or correct them.

Just be respectful, wait for your time when called upon and enjoy the conversation. You know your opinions - by saying them out loud you just repeat what you already know. It’s time to find out what other people are thinking :)

Terraria is great! Also kudos to Re-Logic for supporting the industry!
