I would only recommend short games. Ive been gaming my whole life and basically quit recently, because I was playing grindy games that were so exhausting mentally.

Even great games like Terraria, Minecraft and dont starve leave me exhausted. Such huge time sinks. Ive moved onto hobbies that are much more satisfying.

Aeropress coffee maker.

Its like 20$, works really well, very simple design with few things to break.

Swiss army knives. You’ll find at least one in everyone’s bedside drawer or junk drawer.

Ive found them dull all the time, but never broken

The TSA confiscates tens of thousands of these things

Im not sure if this is relevant but I completely agree

Depends what you use it for. If you are trying to provide something informational, I do not trust chat gpt.

If you use it to respond to work emails because they force communication for the sake of communication, then its fine.

Where tf do you live then? You’re just gonna need to buy another home

Please tell me to go fuck my self in the coolest way possible

This might not work long term but for my ADHD I pit a timer for my task.

Depending on the task, I will come up with a time just long enough to complete it. I’ll start the timer and be so busy rushing I don’t even think about how much I hate it. Just blaze through it as fast as possible.

In would look into old workstations with decent grapchis cards.

They are super sturdy, so toddler proof, reliable, usually have good repairability and upgradability and can be found cheap. I’ll let someone else fill you in on what specs you want since that’s a long note.

The state I live in, they are also illegal to expire. The problem is that companies blatantly break the law with zero consequences.

If you try to use an expired card, it will automatically decline, and an employee physically cannot override it. To use your money you have to go online and submit a complaint/ticket to customer support. Good fucking luck getting a response.

The only way after that is to threaten to sue, or sue. Sueing can cost thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars, which is completely ridiculous and why nobody does it. Thats why even though many states outlaw expiring giftcards, most of them still have expiration dates in blatant violation.

In every policy change there will be losers and winners, lowering the cost of housing has been a long time coming. So long in fact people assume it’s a great way to invest and raise money.

I recruit spiders as mercenaries. Don’t want mosquitoes in the shop

Good luck getting that CEO in a court room

Except Chinese

Gifting cash is normal for us

I feel like at that point you just invite them to dinner/massage/etc. Much better way to bond anyway. Plus if someone is rare to prioritize fun, a bunch of gift cards to random ass places like rpg quests is stressful for those on an already tight schedule.

Having a bunch of gift cards you know you HAVE to use is stressful!

I’m glad I’m Chinese where gifting cash is normal 😹

I’ve heard that too, but employees can’t override rejection of expired cards, so to use your rightfully owned cash, you have to fight with the company via online customer service and maybe even threaten to sue.

Because of that, even in countries and states where cards don’t expire, they essentially do.

This is fair. Restricted cash for people who should have restricted cash. Or something to incentivise good habits.

But what about the alternative? Cash? You can buy anything you want with that, even pay rent!
