Good luck in April!

For me Ive found replacement activities like painting to do instead when I’m tired and get back from work with no brain capacity left. And whenever I notice that my phone use habits are starting to become much too dominant I take a week to decouple. So I turn it off and leave it at home as much as possible to break my habits. This takes some mental energy so it’s only possible in periods where I have the energy to spend.

I also intently buy small phones because it makes them less attractive to use in my experience. It’s unfortunate that small phones are seemingly disappearing from the market.

Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of February!

February 17th will be the first day of the Year of the Fire Horse, which occurs every 60 years in the Chinese calendar and is known as a period of rapid change. This is a year that rewards fearless courage, dedication and punishes indecision, hesitation or impassiveness.

perhaps it was my fault for not reading much theory, but i really really like the insight harper shares in this video, explicitly that we are improving ourselves not because we want to be better workers for capitalist exploitation,

but that we are be the best we can so we can be people in progressive movement that people look up to.

people can look at and say "i can admire this person".

the mindset of the becoming more educated/competent/fit to better advance proletarian causes reminds me of that scene from the phasmid to harry from the game disco elysium.

Thank you. I also have one more thing to say to you: that woman -- turn from the ruin. Turn and go forward. Do it for the working class. if IsHighestPolitical("communist")

So-called "swoletariats" are exercising for the resistance.

There’s a lot of fitness content in conservative manosphere circles – that’s not new – but now, there are also fitness influencers who call themselves the “swoletariat.” That’s a combination of the word “swole,” meaning buff, and “proletariat,” meaning the working class — the swoletariat are people whose fitness regimens connect to leftist politics. NPR's Life Kit producer Margaret Cirino shares her reporting with Brittany on the history of leftist fitness – and why she’s seeing the swoletariat picking up steam on social media.

I think the real master skill in getting good at something is keeping an open mind. I think any good craft has an element of rigidity that forces you to adapt if you don't fit to it.

That can be good and bad, personal growth and correcting deficits in your character is a good thing. But it's also very hard to do. Confronting yourself with a mirror can be painfully elucidating. Sometimes maybe even often times, what you're bad at is not completely your fault or not your fault at all.

Personal failure can derive from bad environment and ignorance, there's very little you can do about that except- keeping an open mind.

It's actually very painful to see yourself in this light and that maybe the world has failed you in someway, left you with the damage it wrought and all you can do is dig your way out of it. It's a miserable place to be in. But the only thing you can do is hope that the other end of what you're doing is worth the catharsis. Maybe this process will lead you in a different direction that ends up being more valuable to you in the long run.

Maybe being aware of this position is actually good too? Atleast you're not confused or ashamed of anything, the path is clear and you know what to do.
