I absolutely love horror movies and have a long list of fantastic ones but not very many of them actually scared me. Most of them have been named already but two I didn’t see were The Babadook (2014) and surprisingly a Netflix movie called His House (2020) was actually awesome. One of my favorites in the last few years.

I love this. I always tell people trying to get into fitness and struggling something along these lines. Anything is better than nothing. Even just going to the gym and walking around the place and walking right out… Still better than doing nothing at all. Terry crews has an awesome quote kinda along these lines:
I tell people this a lot - go to the gym, and just sit there, and read a magazine, and then go home. And do this every day. Go to the gym, don’t even work out. Just GO. Because the habit of going to the gym is more important than the work out. Because it doesn’t matter what you do. You can have fun — but as long as you’re having fun, you continue to do it.
@Mog_fanatic@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?1•2YBehold and bask in the glory of working from home! Here, all your free time can actually be spent free! No more alt-tabbing to a random Excel spread sheet or dumbass email everytime the floor boards outside your crap ass cubicle squeak. No more desperately searching for mildly enjoyable activities that are only slightly conspicuous when viewed from over your shoulder. Revel in a world where if you bust ass and finish what you need to you are actually rewarded with the free time to cuddle your dog, take a nap, binge stardew valley, or just do absolutely nothing.
The fact that it is for this exact reason working from home is hated by old farts is so unbelievably frustrating it’s difficult to put in words. I know they like to word it differently like “lack of productivity” or “lowered team dynamic” (which have both since been repeatedly disproven by what little research we have) or some crap but we all know they just can’t stand not knowing exactly what we’re doing at all times. It honestly feels like they’re just irritated that workers are genuinely happy for once.
If it’s a skill/competitive game I totally get watching. Like if I like basketball I’m gonna watch Steph Curry or an NBA game cause I’ll learn how awesome people play the game. If I liked valorant or something i could totally see watching the top pros (or a really high level YouTuber) or comp matches from tourneys and stuff.
I feel like this is pretty much the path the large majority of YouTubers take. They gain a following. Stay consistent over the years. Slowly grow. And after a while people just watch because that’s what they’ve always done for years. The person could post a video of them just like peeling a potato and plenty people would still watch just cause.
@Mog_fanatic@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you knew you were going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 would you have kids?4•2YI’ve come up with the idea of an annual test of basic facts and current events (very basic). Once I get to the point where I can’t pass this test with flying colors, off me and launch my corpse into the ocean via trebuchet plz. Game over. Not interested in seeing where the rest of that ride goes. Seen it many times before with family members and I don’t like it.
@Mog_fanatic@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you knew you were going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 would you have kids?4•2YOne thing I don’t see mentioned here at all is the financial burden incurred by caring for a family member with serious problems like this. Obviously this is very dependent on the country in which you live but at least in the United States it is very possible to be buried in debt for caring for someone else. Personally, I will be trying to pay off medical bills from taking care of a family member in their final days probably for the rest of my life barring a miracle.
I’d rather not potentially saddle my children with the same if I can avoid it.
@Mog_fanatic@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you knew you were going to get Alzheimer’s at 65 would you have kids?15•2YThis is the main reason I have not had children. I am almost 100% guaranteed to get Alzheimer’s in the pretty near future. Having watched countless of my family members go through the absolutely heart wrenching process of Alzheimer’s progression, I can’t in good conscience have children (so far anyway, I’m not 100% on it) for two reasons:
-
I don’t want to put them through the grueling process of caring for, and dealing with someone dying from Alzheimer’s
-
While it’s not guaranteed obviously, I don’t want to doom a child to a very very good chance of getting Alzheimer’s at some point in their lives.
There is of course a chance for a treatment to be developed but they’ve been saying that for decades and haven’t really come up with much of anything so far.

@Mog_fanatic@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•in a general sense, how would you feel about people having their pet dog(s) in the workplace?1•2YI absolutely love it cause it’s such a fantastic break from the stress and frustration of working. Dog comes in and you just get to chill out and pet a dog for a bit while getting paid for it. But I could definitely see it being annoying if the dog was yapping all day or just being annoying. I haven’t had a bad experience tho.




Lol this applies to virtually every single possible subset of people current and past in some form.
