I go take a walk. Beach would be ideal, but nowadays even at the park or lastly at the mall. Anywhere relatively safe to just walk and listen to music. I find it improves my mood.
Eating good food and taking a shower after a rough day helps a lot too.
I only usually rewatch films whenever I feel like I’d need a pick-me-up. Something light-hearted, so I’d usually go for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
But during my recent movie marathon, I discovered more films which are actually good contenders for a rewatch such as The Fundamentals of Caring (highly recommended) and The Land of Steady Habits.
Lucky! How were they upfront? I’ve only seen their live shows on YouTube.
I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
+1 for Sleep Token. Amazing band, love their latest album TMBtE.
Once in a while, I visit Vsauces old videos. They’re thought-provoking.
Agreed lol. Finally had the heart to watch it last weekend (after having known it was by A24 films). Suffice it to say, it fucked me up at different parts of the film. Amazing juxtaposition between cult/psychological horror and colorful, vibrant scenery. Great film, but probably won’t watch it again.
Have heard a lot about Hereditary too, but not sure if I have enough courage to watch yet.
I do light workouts at home, and it’s honestly a hassle, but I enjoy the benefits of it (especially walking just to take my mind off of things). So I kinda just suck it up lol. I’m still working towards making it a habit (if not already), so what I do is also watch videos during sessions.
I find that being active along with having a balanced diet makes me feel energized throughout the day, and also make me sleep better at night.
I also look forward to cheat days. I work hard and in return, reward myself with something good. Whenever I find myself feeling lazy, I try my best to push through with it. Feels kinda bad to skip tbh so I try to make it up the following day.
I am currently eating, what the fuck am I doing here in this thread
Jfc, I’m salivating. I’d happily dunk my face on that plate, thank you.
Liking it so far. It’s like stepping into another reality (or instance? am I doing this correctly) where people are just decent and not all the time spiteful. It’s such a breath of fresh air. I kinda feel more at ease here. I noticed that I have shared more of my feelings here than the long time I spent on rexxit. Maybe it’s cuz I share the same experience with my co-refugees. Maybe it’s also the upvotes that makes me feel that people are actually reading lol
Not from a movie, but there’s a line from The Office that really stuck with me:
“Not everything’s a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes, you just fail.”
Thanks for this reminder.
Using Connect rn. Seems ok in my experience and might explore others apps on Android too.
Honestly, not as much anymore. Transitioning to Lenny was quite smooth with Connect and it made me aware of the Fediverse, which is such a fascinating concept.
RIF will always have a place in me, and I have not, and will probably not delete it anytime soon. I don’t see it from the Playstore anymore, so all the more reason not to. Instead, like what I read somewhere here, I created an “Apps Graveyard” folder and placed it there, keeping me far from unconsciously tapping on RIF for updates.
It will probably take some time.
Thanks for this. Currently using Connect and so far it’s been good.
Lol same, I’d gladly pay for this. RIF was the best app that I’d used, and I will dearly miss it.
Using Jerboa rn. Scrolling feels a bit clunky.
RIF was the app that I used when I decided to go deeper into Reddit. Been using it for the past 7 years until today. You will be missed.
Looks pretty good actually
