I am not a socialist, trade unionist, or a Jew, so I don't see any problems here.

Coronation Street. I spend $10 a month for a BritBox subscription to watch just that.

I get that it's cool to shit on superhero movies these days, but man I hope this is good. I am a DC fan and the Snyder movies never did it for me.

Nice pair of sunglasses. Wanted them, didn't need them, bought them anyway. My wife thinks they look nice on me. Win win.

How do you avoid getting trapped by hyperfokusing on the wrong thing when working from home. in c/[email protected]

What has worked (a little bit) for me...

Make notes and reminders everywhere. Everywhere. I have time blocked off on my work calendar, do this specific task at this time, do this specific task at this time, 15 minutes of fucking around time in between. I will literally make a calendar appointment for taking breaks from work. I have a Kanban board of personal tasks to work on. I have alarms on my phone and watch reminding me to take a break for lunch or when to clean the litter boxes, etc.

One benefit of having reminders everywhere is that even when I'm consciously avoiding "The Thing I am Supposed to be Doing," there's a higher probability that I will land on something else productive to do instead of zoning completely out. I know I need to write this report by the end of the day, but I just saw a reminder that I need to reschedule my dental appt. Great, I still did something productive. Now I'm one step closer to actually writing that report.

It's also important to give yourself grace and acknowledge that you'll never be perfectly productive. Sometimes my 15 minute fuck-around break last 30 minutes. That's OK. Breathe and get through it. Find the next post-it note or block of time on the calendar that tells me what I should be doing and make an honest attempt to do that. It's not 100% effective, but it does help set the guardrails so I don't get too far off track.

'Anora' is the funniest movie I've seen all year. (lemmy.world)
 

I try to avoid reviews/spoilers before seeing stuff, so I did not realize how much of a comedy it was. It doesn't come across in the trailer at all, but there are legitimately hilarious stretches of the film. And Mikey Madison deserves an Oscar for her role as the title character.

What's the weirdest word or turn of phrase you've used recently? (lemmy.world)
 

Inspired by something I said last night when complaining about an achievement at work and the only way I could think to describe it was "pure frippery."
