eighty

first rule of english pronunciation: there are no rules. All that matters is if people understand what you mean when you say it.

I gave up on this discussion when you have to consider gin, generate, giraffe, gene, gym, etc

Also I pronounce it with the soft sound because that’s what it sounds like in the bloody alphabet.

it’s gotta be the one where the professor reveals he’s much older and goes to the near-death star

edit: as blueharvest said “clone of my own”

Sounds good - it’s important to get those 8 hours and listening to your body (avoiding screens when you can during dark hours since that’ll fuck around your circadian rhythm).

Sometimes you can get away with 6 hours in total if you haven’t been overexerting yourself. I found that I slept like 9 -10 hours uninterrupted after exhaustive days but taking the naps and ensuring I have good sleep hygiene leads to me feel great with only 8 segemented sleep.

9 to 5 sucks ass.

You gotta listen to your body and take that powernap when you can (already made a previous comment about how the human body isn’t built to do strict wake-sleep cycles, it’s natural to have 2 separate sleeps in the same night, and historically people from early morning to noon since the sun is too harsh by then). I generally found taking a 15 minute nap after a meal is enough to get me through the rest of the day. Though it’s insane that corpos expect anything more than 60% effort after 2pm when most have been up since 6am.

Take your hours back, they won’t give it back to you.

beers are great in moderation 🍻

Similar situation. I quickly glance between Lemmy and Mastodon and only use old.reddit when I’m on my PC (just realised I hadn’t really used it since I’ve been making an effort to engage with the manga communities on lemmy) . All my friends and favourite artists seem to use Instagram so I only use it out of necessity for messaging and quick inspirations (I tried using Cara but I found the app somewhat slow and disliked that it wasn’t federated, so I could see it having a very low lifespan. I saw it as a poor move for artists to move to it solely on the promise of being “anti-AI” without any redundancies that a de-federated option would have)

i messed up and stayed up doing cable management - good night everyone!

There was a mass exodus of Escapist writers (including Yahtzee) and formed Second Wind. Been watching a lot more of their stuff since they left the Escapist outside of Yahtzee
