Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a psychological "cheat code" you use in everyday life that actually works?
5·6 天前I have a personal motivational tool I call “dopamine starve and reward”. Basically avoiding things that give a false feeling of accomplishment and allowing myself to feel good when something has been accomplished. It’s handy for big projects around the house. Number one is to not talk about what I plan to do (starve) until I’ve actually taken a big step (reward). Another is to not buy everything i need right off the bat (starve) instead buying materials as I need them (reward). This notion came to me after working for a small family business. The owners would have a project in mind, go buy all the materials, drop them off then go have lunch at the bar and talk about all the stuff they were going to do. Then nothing would get done. I saw this in myself and learned to avoid false feelings of accomplishment

2·6 天前People often ask “so what do you do?”. I find this to be a loaded question, it shows where a person’s head is. Most folks respond by talking about their job. I’ll usually answer by asking “for money or for fun?”. If nothing else it gets a chuckle
Stupid on so many levels

A lot of broken appliances are due to bad capacitors. Sometimes they are easy to spot because they bulge. I was given a large broken television, found a bulged one and had it replaced. Worked for the past 8 years
Where does it say anything about being not for profit?

Technology@lemmy.world•I rented a car, and within hours, my driver's license was for saleEnglish
45·11 天前My elderly father recently fell for a Facebook imposter that pretended to be a family member and asked if their friend could contact him. The friend asked him to take a photo of his driver’s license and text it to them, fortunately he doesn’t know how. I’ve been wondering ever since what can they do if they had it? It doesn’t have his social security number on it. His credit has since been locked and banks notified

4·11 天前They will spend on both parties, it’s called hedging your bets. For those wondering why the Democrats take that money ask yourself when was the last time you contributed to an election campaign
