At the time I made the change, vscode had a better plugin ecossystem to my needs. Still use it when I need for specific stuff, but it isn't my main text editor anymore.

The single piece of software I attached to in my entire life. It was a really hard decision to leave it behind.

I had this same feeling with SNES games and Diablo 2 and stuff I listened to when I was 10 till 14 (especially with System of a Down). Took me years to disassociate then. Not that I wanted, but it happened eventually.

I kinda have a friendly relationship with my tinnitus. If I move my jaw in circles, the noise frequency follows the movements. I find it kinda funny. For example, right now I don't hear it (only if I really focus on it), but if I move my jaw, I immediately can hear it.

Man, barbell stuff do wonders for me. I sleep better, I eat better, the pain I feel is a good feeling, like, my body is repairing for some heavy effort I made, my sexual drive is (a lot) better, my energy levels are better. Food has a purpose. My hormones are better. I feel great overall. I eat without guilty. Besides that, I'm stronger by the day.

I tried to simulate these feelings with other activities (soccer, running, bike, even calisthenics). No success. Not the way that barbell stuff do to me. And I'm not even a very strong guy (101kg bench, 130kg squat, 150kg deadlift @ 73kg).

One of the reasons why I don't do weightlifting stuff is that they seem a lot riskier. Same doubt here. These people who recommend weightlifting stuff (I don't mean in any way to discredit Robert Oberst, Eddie Hall... I follow and watch Strongman scene and really enjoy these guys), are they recommending it as "you should get a weightlifting coach and learn the movements properly" or "go to the gym and do power cleans as you go"? I find powerlifting a lot easier to learn alone, youtube only. And less riskier with the progress of increasing load + nonstop learning.

Is it? I always read about it as "used" by Navy SEAL, not "created" by them.

Until 2012 I was using an old laptop, Celeron with 760mb RAM, running Lubuntu and Windows XP. It was very crappy, but allowed me to do some web freelancing (thanks Sublime Text, I miss you) and browse web in general (sure, one thing at a time. Sometimes I couldn't listen to music on Banshee and have a heavy RAM tab opened). That's what I could afford at the time. Today I got a powerful Dell laptop, don't care anymore about these micro optimizations. I feel like I'm betraying my old self, hah.

I kinda have a mental map of brazilian people here. Everytime I see some nick which resembles anything in portuguese, I check if the person is brazilian. From time to time, I'm here scrolling and then... Oh, the soneca guy again. Same with the atum one, and some others.

Some mnemonics about the subject. Mnemonics made me learn hiragana in 2 hours. Cyrilic in less. http://ryanestrada.com/russian/index.html

Sure, I wasn't able to write and read fluently in 2 hours, but I least I didn't need to take a look on a table anymore.

I started to write my personal notes in cyrilic. It's very fun and kinda cryptographic.

I share the same feeling. Since Deep Work, I work less and do more. I'm supposed to be 8 hours on my company, but since I do everything in much less time than anybody else (due to make an effort to don't get distracted), I usually spend 7, 7.5 hours at company and nobody complained yet.

There are 2 things to take into consideration. One, phone apps (the problematic ones) are extremely more addictive than TV. Two, once you make a little effort to resist the urge of entertain yourself with mindless stuff (which is considerably harder when we're talking about phone apps), your dopamine resets and it becomes easier and easier to do whatever you really want to do instead of distract yourself.

Congratulations! You've finished the hardest game of life. Now you can never do anything you do not want it again, if that's your wish.

Now you can do whatever you want. This includes: Spend how much time you want with your family and important people to you; Work on something you really want, or some significant project for you; dedicate your life to arts or an hobby; Have time to know wherever you want; Take maximum care of your health; Take some risks in general, but not so much, or you might end up dying or being broke again; etc;

You have three resources to manage now: Time, Health and (assuming you won't spend all your money at once) your stocks/bonds [EDIT: or any other passive income of your wish.].

There's an entire subreddit dedicated to these things.
