I once pirated a book because I didn’t want to get it from another room.

Instead of

I never remember this when it’d actually be useful

I did the same. I wanted to watch a TV series of which I own the box set but I was too lazy to get the box, put the disc in and go through the menu for every three episodes or so. So I pirated it.
go through the menu for every three episodes
So many providers these days STILL don’t get that the more control you take away the less incentive people have to buy their product. Oh I have to see a mandatory FBI piracy warning splash screen and the speed control is locked at 1.5x max? Jeez it’s a shame you can’t compete with the pirated file that has no nag screens and I can blow through at fucking 20x if I want.
Called someone in the next room to bring me something.
Adhd?
yo pass me some adhd

I SSHed my laptop to turn it off, even though my laptop is not that far away from my bed
I WoL my second computer to turn it on, even though it’s at an arm’s reach (but I’d have to stretch a bit to reach it)
Using a state of the art local LLM and an agent to ask it to find all files with a certain extension, because I always forget how to use the find command on linux and I can’t be bothered to read it.
I did that kind of thing once, had Qwen-3.5-122B as a fancy find-and-replace because I couldn’t be arsed to write a find and pipe it to sed
ls *.txt?No that would be just in the current folder, I needed to search recursively
That would work for a single directory.
Most file managers have a global search.
ls -R *.txt?
How are you getting a local LLM to read files for you?
Take a look at pi.dev (or similar tools)
I buy new socks instead of washing them.
I legitimately think my boyfriend does this. That man has more socks than any person needs.
I remember when my grandfather died, we were going through his belongings and found a drawer full of electric razors. Why did he have so many?!? Then we noticed every one was full of hair, and concluded that he bought a new one every time it filled up rather than emptying it.
Then years later, my parents became snowbirds who went to Mexico every winter, and they stayed with this other family who were locals. They got good at Spanish and one day I guess, my dad was talking to the other dad and they burst out laughing. I asked what that was all about, and he said the Mexican dad’s father also had a drawer full of electric razors, and he never understood why?
Are they really cheap socks, at least?
But you should always wash clothes before wearing them for the first time???
(Seriously though, they have all kinds of dirt and chemicals on them)
Pro tip: If you buy tons of the same type of socks such as 20 pairs of black you can wash and dry them and they pair easily. It’s less effort than going to buy new ones.
Gosh I’ve been trying to force myself to do that for like 5 years already. I’m just too lazy to spend some time and choose a good fit (instead of just buying random socks every once in a while). What brand and type of socks would you recommend??
Buy one pack of 5, if good go back and buy 3+ more packs leaving some unopened and throw out old if not find better. Look at what sock you like currently and try finding similar. I like thin/semi thin. I don’t do brands, just feel with the hands.
Dickies Dri-Tech in whatever length you need. They’re my go-to because I wear safety boots for work. They’re way more padded than typical socks, and they’re extremely durable.
This is exactly what I do. I have like 30 identical pairs of socks. They just get dumped in a pile in my sock drawer, and I grab two off the top of the pile every day.
I do this, except for the part where they’re all identical.
I dated a girl who did this. I asked why her socks were always mismatched. She looked at me like it should be obvious, and said “I pull two out of the drawer. If they match, I know I’m going to have a good day.” I said she could just match her socks, and then she’d have a good day every day. But apparently that was missing the point.
Black socks
they never get dirty
The longer you wear them
The blacker they get
Someday, I’ll probably launder them
Something keeps telling me don’t do it yet

I don’t wash stains on walls from dogs or kids. I just paint every few years

I’ve found alternate means of watching a show because I couldn’t be assed to open my authenticator app more than once.
An authenticator app is required for media streaming app!?
TBF, I’m getting a bit fed up with these logins that require 2 factor text or email.
I once threw away sink full of dirty dishes rather than hand wash them. They had been there for like two weeks and were really nasty. I think that was at the height of my depression.

Been there as well
And I tried to save a pan, but the fat and dust would never get of it, and I needed to throw it away anyway…
That’s why I like stainless steel cookware. If there’s a tough mess stuck to them, I just switch from my usual sponge to the stainless steel scouring pad and wear it back down to the metal.
Can do similar with cast iron, but it can turn into more work if you need to reseason it.
Since some months now we have a carbon steel pan and I absolutely love it, because it’s also very thin and adapts quickly to temperature changes
And also has the advantage to clean it quite roughly
That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.
On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).
I usually account for that, by starting to heat up before that
Maybe a thing of preference :-)
As someone who has spent their fair share of time deep-cleaning greasy commercial kitchens, I believe the stainless steel scrubby is one of humankind’s greatest creations.
Depression is expensive. I lost a couple crock pots that way. Finally found disposable liners!
Pissed out of a window rather than walk ten feet to the bathroom.
In fairness, I had the flu, and was a teenager. Feeling like hammered vulture shit, with a window right there and open anyway? No way was I getting out of bed. The window was just barely above the top of the mattress, so all I had to do was roll over, kinda prop up, and let 'er rip.
Surprisingly, not only did it not go horribly wrong, but the little forethought I had with a fever that high managed to prevent any drips from being a problem. Well, a problem then. Still had to wash the towel later, and that left me without a clean towel for fever sweats, but I had bandanas I could use for that.
Look, I was creeping into dangerous fever levels lol. Not the best set of decisions, but it worried out in the end
Where was the pee falling to? Any neighbor that could have seen?
Out into the yard. It had plenty of arc what with being backed up a good bit lol.
Our yard had plenty of trees and shrubberies even back then (now, it’s essentially a meadow), so for someone to have seen anything at all they would have had to be in the yard itself, and thus deserved to see a dick hanging out a window and pissing on them :)
In hindsight, you could’ve used a bandana for the drips
Ordered delivery from across the street because it was raining and I didn’t want to…
A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.
I once had a cheap German everything fast food restaurant downstairs. I went there so often to eat in because I didn’t want to cook and clean.
I did that with a pizzeria that was in my building.
Instructions for delivery : Go upstairs.
I wasn’t depressed or anything it was more a little bit of a joke to the delivery man.
I got a pair of slippers with brushes on for when you clean the floor, I put it on a remote controlled car so I didn’t have to get off the couch.
That’s genius
That’s great though, because it makes cleaning the floor fun. You get to drive a remote controlled car instead of just mopping or whatever.
That’s not lazy, that’s brilliant
We rented an apartment for 5 months after listing our house for sale because we didn’t want to have to clean it and leave the house fora few hours every time someone wanted to come do a viewing.
In our defense… we had a 3yr old, a hairy dog, and were preparing to leave the country permanently, which took 10 months of nonstop preparation on top of working full time, so I still think it was worth the money to save us the extra work. But yeah, probably the laziest thing I’ve done.
I totally understand this move, we did something similar to avoid having to pack up our cats every time someone wanted to see the house.
That’s not lazy, that’s just good planning. The last thing you need before a massive move like that is more stress.
