How’s the job hunt going?

Obsidian is the gold standard for notes apps IMO. I don’t see any reason to move to Joplin if you’re using Obsidian.

Scrivener is fantastic for large projects with a lot of moving parts. It lets you keep all of your character sheets, locations, research, notes, etc in one place. It lets you easily move scenes around and will automatically format your manuscript.

Super powerful tool. However, it has a learning curve, and I have definitely used it as a means of procrastination. If you struggle with the habit of actually sitting down to write, maybe stick with Word for a while.

You could always use Lemmy.world, or you can make an account directly on Lemmy.nsfw. The Memmy app lets you switch between accounts like you could on Apollo

I read a book called Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. My mom is similar, and it gave me a lot of insight into why she behaves the way she does, and how I may have developed unhealthy coping mechanisms as a result. Highly recommend.

My friend and I bought trucks around the same time. Mine is a simple tradesman Ram, no bells and whistles, primarily for moving and hauling stuff that can’t fit in my wife’s sedan.

I’m a pretty passive driver. Live and let live, y’know?

My friend had a similar personality when he first got his Tundra (of course with all the extras he can afford). Then he goes and spends $10,000 on a lift, winch, and floodlights. Now he’s like a different person. He drives super aggressively, whipping round corners, weaving through traffic going 20mph over on the highway. He was driving me through some quiet neighborhood the other day and nearly mowed over a cyclist. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he shrugged and said “if she’s gonna ride a bike in the street, she’s gotta look out for trucks. Not my fault if she doesn’t see me”

TL;DR - truck drivers are fine, a truck is a tool like any other vehicle. Lifting your truck turns you into a redneck scumbag overnight though apparently.

You should check out the soundtrack for the original Nier as well, (Or Replicant I suppose). I fell in love with the OST back when Nier first released as Gestalt, and I still think it’s better than Automata. Well except for the amusement park. That track slaps.
