Drop all technology and you're suddenly a keinbernd.

I'm determined to become a Keinbernd, i. e. fixing my problems and improving myself, not necessarily becoming a normie, but being the best version of myself and living a life that is more enjoyable than it has been so far.
Things I've been doing:
- Improving my diet and watching my weight and bodyfat percentage.
- Regular exercise.
- Trying to be responsible and get stuff done without procrastinating.
- Started meditating.
- Making an effort to have a social life despite being isolated at home and having little friends and family to begin with. Regular calls with existing social contacts.
- Tinder. I already went on a bunch of dates, but they haven't lead to anything yet. I still feel it is probably good to expose myself to new social situations.
- Trying to fix my sleep schedule.
- Installing time tracking and blocking addons on firefox, so I can keep myself from consooming websites that rot my brain. (For example the other KC.)
Please point out stuff I might have forgotten about, offer insight into a particular topic or just AMA.

Tinder is a horrible way of getting to know people, but I met an amazing fwb there two years ago, which tells me it’s not pointless and frankly there are no other options for me right now.
Thanks. I’m not worried about being 35 or 45 though. As long as health and life circumstances are good, age isn’t an issue until quite late in life.
Today I went outside, hugged a friend and had cake in a cafe even though Mutti told us all to stay home. Felt good. I’ve had literally no human contact for months.

Honestly it hasn't been that bad. Gives me time to kinda focus on the simple pleasures. Just going for a walk outside is nice enough when I don't need to worry about having anywhere to be, because until a couple days ago legally I didn't have anywhere I could be.
What hasn't been so good for my coping is the fact that I can't procrastinate my studies. Instead I'm forced to contend with the fact that studying gives me stress and anxiety. Spending 8 hours a day not being as productive as I would like. That's what I don't like. I guess seeing friends and family would be good at some point too though.
It's definitely a bit rough to deal with. I've found that I feel much better when I "schedule" which days I will work on for a given subject, and give myself enough time so that I have enough time to fuck off. Some days I do procrastinate, and when that happens, I usually wake up extra early in the morning to complete work from the previous night.
it's definitely tough to hold yourself accountable, but if you try to trick your mind into thinking that there is an immediate reward to your tough work, it becomes a bit easier.
After two months of no work visa, my mind is starting to grow dull and sullen without adequate socialization or working.
Problems were. Fucking nz government is taking their sweet time to issue me my visa and my seasonal work is a few weeks away. I'd rather be deported at this point than spend another day trying to fill my day with novelties and ignoring my newly refound weed habit.
Man needs a schedule. Even the most mundane one so that it can justify antagonism and give a minor sense of accomplishment compared to his peers.
What are lörs thought about veganism and vegetarianism?

I think meat has become for me a special treat rather than something which should be consumed with every meal. That way there is less waste. I save all the offcuts to use in soups and things. I think meat has become too mundane. There is less demand for things like offal because everyone wants their perfect cut of chicken breast or beef steak.

list of the things no apple faggot ever tells you:
[spoiler] worth considering before making a decision to buy a new computer/phone [spoiler]
apart from well know issues, such as crappy keyboards on macbooks, and absolutely shit-terrible thermal design, super-fragile display hinge and no Invidia support there are
- poor compatibility with peripherals made by third party (you are going to have troubles waking up a mac with your keyboard, if it is not an Apple™️ Magic™️ Keyboard™️)
- poor compatibility with external storage devices. If you think that you will buy a USB-C SSD from some lesser Taiwanese brand, plug it in and it's gonna work – it won't. You'll going to have issues all the time, until you spend 2x that sum on an analog from Samsung.
- poor compatibility with 3rd party access points. All devices just work with modern dual-band routers. Macs don't. Either have a single band, or provide a separate SSID/passwords for each band.
- notarisation. All the apps running on an X86 mac should be notarised by Apple, otherwise you should allow each and every app to work manually, by clicking yes on three dialog windows, and type your admin password on one of them. The problems multiplies geometrically if you have a DAW with 20-50ish free plugins, each and everyone of them should be allowed to run each time you scan them in your DAW.
- if you are developer, be prepared to see some junk files in your IDE which Apple's file system automatically created. Junk files have an identical names to the files you created, but with underscore
- if you are a dev, you should use Apple developer account subscription ($100/year), or your apps won't be signed/notarized and be a pain in the arse for users
- on iOS you can't just plug in your phone to your mac and transfer all the shit you store in it, you should use iCloud™️, because users have no access to the iOS filesystem
- if you sending photos taken from your iPhone to your mac, you should either use iCloud™️, or sync with Apple Photos™️. The latter is basically a convoluted data-mining app, from which you can't extract anything. The iCloud™️ has super unintuitive way to grab your photos from there, so you probably won't figure it out without googling.
- ah yes, you could send them photos via AirDrop™️ (a rebranded bluetooth). But if you sending a batch more than 30 pieces, all of them is going to be resized
- swarms of faggots telling you that: "the are no other ecosystems", "mac-exclusive apps are just better", "apple cares about privacy", "you just need to buy everything apple and then it's going to work seamlessly", "i never had these issues, you probably doing something wrong" and other dogmas
and yeah, future ARM macs will be iPhone-like, meaning that users will be allowed to run apps only from the Appstore™️
