  • I’d say the Scary Movie 3’s “everyone around you is dying” is better than what my parents did once our cat was old and put down. They lied that the neighbor had droven over him and he had suffered so they had taken the cat to the vet to be put down. I got to pet the dead cat before we all buried him in our garden. I held hatred towards the neighbor until I grew old enough to see through the lie…

    So I’d say that the petting, goodbyes and burial was good. But the lie was unnecessary. You can be pretty damn honest with kids, they like it because they’re always lied to… I loved adults who were honest with me and I see kids like me when I’m honest to them.





  • Jooh, tuntuu foliohatulta, mutta itse tulen jättämään pelin kesken, kun kirjautumispakot iskee - tai ainakin yritän sitä. Ei tähän yksilönä oikein voi vaikuttaa. Ei auta kuin suunnitella ja valmistautua, eli radiota uutisia varten, älypuhelimeen jää vain nettipankki ja sitä käytän esim. kirjastossa… Kirjeitä ja puheluita, Nokia on jo vuosia ollut pääluurina itsellä. Leffat ja pelit fyysisenä hyllyssä, ja ne toimivat laitteilla, jotka ei vaadi nettiä. Ainakin yritän.






  • These are not full solutions, but will help. Get rid of time thieves and take as good care of your body as possible.

    Get rid of social media, contact your friends and family directly if you’re interested in what they have been up to. Try to meet them IRL or talk on a phone call, definitely no Snapchat or such. If you use streaming services, limit your account so they can’t push that “watch the next episode”-crap, only watch what you have time for. Cook your own food, from scratch. Go for walks, sit and relax outdoors even if the weather is not perfect. Take proper care of sleep hygiene, even consider getting a OG alarm clock and ban the smartphone from entering your bed/room. Don’t read news daily, you can’t spend your energy on worrying shit you can’t change.

    These are all just ideas and things that have helped me. Might not work for you, but could be worth considering. I hope all the best to you. It’s tough and often unfair.
