bro

My brain does the same thing, but I'm trying to 're'learn how to just enjoy hobbies without having to push them to their maximums.

I will say, though, that built in automation is a good idea for even the simplest of hobbies, so bots may be a good move for you. My fishroom is mostly automated at this point. It's nice not having to worry about every detail of care.

I fell into this trap with one of my main hobbies.

I've always loved Aquariums and plants, and found my favorite niche in aquascaping planted aquariums. It gets expensive. I needed money to support my hobby and life. I sold a few extra plants and realized I could start making the hobby pay for itself. Everytime I sold something I'd add to the fishroom. I made ok money and eventually built an impressive aquarium collection.

I got a bit burnt out, realizing I was spending all my hobby energy on farming and selling, rather than creating aquascapes. My selling channels also mostly dried up, and I don't have the drive anymore to search for other markets.

Now I'm weighed down with a fishroom that I still keep running, but pay little attention to. Not sure what I should do with it.

I still sell occasionally, so if anyone wants any aquatic plants or shrimp, I have plenty...

I used to wait tables. Made a couple dollars an hour plus tips, and it was a decent wage.

From that perspective, I get it, but I also can't stand that everyone demands tips these days. As a consumer, I'm far more inclined to visit a place with a no tip policy. In fact, I make it a point to not return to places that push their guilt trip tip iPads in my face before they've even performed a service. I have tipping fatigue and limited funds.

$30 does seem like a competitive wage there. Provided they get the hours to work, I'm sure many people would be happy with that pay. The protesting workers should probably seek work elsewhere instead of dictating terms this early in their employment.

This whole mortality thing is a real bummer. I hope George pulls through. I was counting on him to narrate my manifesto.

Thanks. Can't say I'm surprised..

Seems a necessary arrangement to keep Mozilla alive and Google on the throne. After reading that, I doubt it's possible for Firefox to ever get out from under Google's wing, but I can see Google eventually tossing Firefox from the nest. I guess that's how business works...

This a conspiracy, or validated claim? Either way, I believe it.

Bet they make good pets.

There've been a few occasions where I disagreed with my own post. I couldn't just let myself get away with bs comments, so I had to downvote to teach myself a lesson.

I'd really prefer that to be a last resort. Instead, maybe there should be donation drives like Wikipedia and rewards like Reddit.

I never once bought Reddit coins to hand out, but might be convinced to if I can trust where the funds go.

Hi all. I'm told this is the place to be. Entertain me!
