I've had 2 data loss near misses last year. Still haven't set up automatic back ups.
Guys, be sure to sleep and wake up at reasonable times.
Sleep is important for the human body.
telling advice is just yapping. applying advice takes effort.
Isn't this just the basic difference between knowing and doing?
Guys this was me playing bowling the other day with my buddy every time I instructed him how to throw the ball he got a strike but otherwise... GUTTER BALL! But then I gutter balled when I went... just thought I'd mention that
Yeah, I suck at bowling
Hey that's awesome you coached him into getting strikes
(Strikes are a good thing in bowling but a bad thing in baseball apparently)
Who the hell does this Solomon guy think he is calling me out like this.
Because sometimes it is easy to give reasonable advice to someone because it is easier to look at a situation from detached view and thus no emotion involved. But apply the same advice to yourself, and emotions could come running.
I know this is a shit post, but I have wrestled with hypocrisy or more specifically saying one thing but doing something else for a long time. Think of a murderer saying that murder is wrong.
I think I am comfortable now saying that hypocrisy doesn't discredit a true statement, even if the person who is saying it may be considered disingenuous.

Best advice I've ever given and not taken was:
LAWYER UP, HIT THE GYM, DELETE FACEBOOK.
To delete Facebook I must first overthrow Meta...
1/3 ain’t bad, I’ve made progress.
I hit up a lawyer named Jim on Facebook.
Hit up or hit on?
"Hey Jim, I got something for you to litigate. Why don't you come over and rest your case on deez nutz 😉"
You should be in bed, it's midnight
Me? I've just started a movie
is there a name for the reverse of this? like making a change for yourself that works great for your needs, but then assuming that others just need to do the same thing?
Sharing what worked for you is a pretty normal way to give advise. It can get annoying when its done too much, but that’s also not really rare. Though that tends to happen more when it’s a fresh experience and probably related to sincerely wanting to share a good experience.
But I don’t any specific tarm for this. Projection maybe a bit

I gave decent advice, never been in one. Lmao, told my friend to go get him, didn't go get another friend.
This is the guy who recommends cutting babies in half?
The craziest part of that is the idea supposedly working. Like: instead of both calling out his idea as outlandish, one of them was like "Yeah - cool. We'll go with that plan. I can accept taking home half of a human child."
I was always baffled by that story as a child, who would fight over keeping a baby?
No analogy is perfect.
We often have better perspective regarding other people's troubles than we do our own.
We're also often still wrong about it, anyway.
I feel attacked
Oh I just met a guy not more than 10 minutes ago who openly admitted to injesting the horse version of ivermectin to help with his stomach cancer. his doctor won't prescribe the human version. So he has to go to a vet. Lmao well hopefully one less trump voter come November
You met a fella and ten minutes later told the Internet you want him dead. Classy af.
Fellas, is it "unclassy" to wish harm upon those whose entire fucking identity is causing harm to others?
I agree it's scummy to wish death upon a stranger you know nothing about. In this case, the guy thinks he knows the stranger is a fascist. I think that's jumping to a conclusion, plenty of non-fascists do really dumb stuff with regard to health. This particular dumb thing with regard to health was popular among fascists, so it's not totally nuts to think he might be.
Anyway, wishing death upon a fascist (stranger or no) is not scummy. Only a bootlicker would think it is! That said, I also don't think you have to be a bootlicker to think we shouldn't assume someone's a fascist because they want ivermectin.
Oh is the bootlicker offended?
What a weird response.
I had to double-check the definition of bootlicker to see if it changed. I'm not sure how it applies to pointing out how scummy it is to wish death upon a stranger. I'm not offended, just bummed that combative people like you have stumbled onto Lemmy.
You're just weird. Typical maga shill
It's called self-actualization when you can give yourself the same advice. MDon't let the term allow you to believe it's more than a resting place of awareness.
Understanding my propensity to give good advice that I struggle to follow when applying it to myself has helped to push me towards actually following my own advice.
After all, I don't want to be a hypocrite. It would feel wrong to give advice if I weren't at least trying to follow it

How to use “Solomon’s paradox” to give yourself good life advice
Being too close to a problem makes it hard to analyze without an outsider's perspective. If I don't have an outsider nearby or within friendnapping distance, I use the Rubber Ducky Debugging technique.
Practicing self-compassion makes it less awkward to treat yourself as amazingly as you treat those around you.
that first link looks like ai slop
I use tarot cards. They're pretty and I get to be the weird bog witch I always wanted to grow up to be.
My wife is into Tarot and we have others around us that will read (I guess... casually?).
I'm not into them as a real future-telling tool, but I absolutely believe in them as a way to guide understanding of your own thoughts.
When I was growing up, there was a way to solve a simple yes/no or a/b question you couldn't decide by flipping a coin. Heads, you go A; Tails, you go B. If, upon the coin being revealed, you are disappointed or feel negatively then the other answer was the one you actually wanted, even if it wasn't surface thoughts, and that gave you more insight.
Tarot fills a similar need, but is much more broad or vague. Ask "them" about a question and get a random set of extra questions: Does the Tower mean your decision is bad, or just will result in significant change, which could be good but shake stuff up; high Pentacles? Sure, maybe it's worth money to change jobs, but what if it comes with a ton of extra stress.
When read by another, The reader can also prompt you to be clear about your desires or fears, and the cards are a good tool for opening up.
As a skeptic, Nah. As an untrained therapist, Yah: "How does that make you feel?"
☝️
Using spreadsheets during dbt taught me a really solid framework for the underlying concepts, but I'm finding that on a long-term day-to-day basis, a richer spiritual practice is more sustainable.
Sometimes I make a conscious effort to think about what I would say to someone else in my situation. It's helpful.
Reminded me of this song.
