I hate researching appliances. Literally every brand and model has a ton of haters (often with tragic stories of how the appliance caused thousands of dollars in damages). There’s no way to research an appliance and come out with any sort of objective view point on it.

Sure there’s high level takes (Samsung bad, speed queen good), but then if you dig deeper into those off the cuff statements you realize even that isn’t true.

So I’ve generally just said fuck it and gone with whatever.

Xitter is pronounced ‘shitter’ I’m pretty sure

Same. They also don’t allow password managers and I have multiple systems that don’t use my main password, so I have at least 5-6 work passwords for different systems.

Nobody can remember all that.

So everyone makes the simplest password they can (since it has to be regularly typed in) and writes it down somewhere so they don’t forget it.

Yep. My 2025 resolution is to be as uninformed as I can possibly be. My mental health can’t handle it and I stress out and obsess over things that I can’t fix.

15 years of being informed did fuck all for me. I’ll go vote when it’s time (where I will do a minimum of research on my vote), but otherwise my goal is to entirely ignore all politics and political figures for at least the entire year, but hopefully longer than that.

If there ever comes a time where I can actually make a difference, I’m sure it’ll be obvious and widely spread. All the outrage, pointless and ineffective protests and ‘awareness’ campaigns were utterly worthless. The last 10 times I called my local rep they laughed at me for being from the opposite party and told me to go pound sand.

I do not have the capacity, competency or mindset to run for politics myself, so as far as I’m concerned there’s nothing of value added by being informed and involved.

My ‘memories’ are random art asset files from a mod I downloaded.
