That’s precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.

Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.
That “etc.” certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn’t care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.
what if I can’t put my feelings into words?
Read more. Then, write more.
It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.
That can be, in many cases, because you don’t read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you’re even convinced that reading isn’t worth it.
If this is the case, you don’t have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.
You mean Forgejo?
I think he was very polite, considering.
I knew my first long distance gf on ICQ. I remember also having that service in Miranda IM along Yahoo Chat, MSN, Google Chat (back when it was based on XMPP) and Jabber.
Messages from my current gf are announced with the classic ICQ “Uh-oh!”.
It’s a really bad term because it’s usually associated with a mind, and LLMs are nothing of the sort.
And you seem USian, so please, kill each other once for all and stop destroying other countries for profit.
I don’t click in unexplained videos, sorry.
Nope. I don’t have a panic reaction when I go outside (and now I go daily to the office, because it’s near and more confortable than my house). I just don’t have the Nature fetish some people do.
In my country I went to see the Iguazú falls and my reaction was “Huh. Nice.”
You really don’t think electricians, contractors, plumbers etc aren’t problem solving on the daily?
General problem solving, probably. Deep thinking? Nah.
And besides, I doubt most electricians need to apply Kirchhoff’s Law on a daily basis.
I don’t specially dislike it, but everybody talks about the outdoor like the thing they cannot live without. I… actually thrived during COVID, I wasn’t force to tolerate idiots and I didn’t need to leave my house. I didn’t really feel the need to see the external world.
Please enlighten me about the deep thinking challenges involved in fabricating a chair. I’ll wait.
I have another impression about romanticizing trades: there’s a deep anti-intellectualism and an exaltation of not having to think. For me that idea is pure hell.
I have an outdoors job
Not for me, I despise the Big Blue Room.
There’s satisfaction to be found when labour results in a tangible and lasting result.
Nothing human is eternal. But you’re speaking in absolutes and I challenge that. Give me intellectual challenges, I couldn’t care less about making a nice chair or a sculpture.
Too many jobs at startups
That’s the problem. You can try elsewhere, maybe?
I will never understand why burned up people in IT is so intent of changing a work where you may have intellectual challenges but you don’t need to make strenous physical effort for extreme physical labor. I wouldn’t be caught dead doing one of those jobs, and the idea of wanting them is unfathomable to me.
Yeah, because surely the drug is the same…
It depends on the country, I’d say.
What is “less” for you?
