i will start: if you have scrolling problem, watch reels on mute

reason: if you watch it with sound, you will discover music not by yourself (meaning algorithm will recommend it for you or you will find music/other content due to band wagoning [no individuality]) , because there is a common perception process that if you get recommended music by others you are more likely to not like it / get bored after listening it a few times

    If you have a problem that seems unsolveable, the best way to think of a solution is to go sit somewhere quiet and try to meditate. Just set a timer for 20 minutes, 30 minutes… maybe an hour. Then just focus your attention on your breath and don’t do anything. By the time is up, you will have at least one, and sometimes 4 or 5, potential solutions to your problem, and often a much more positive attitude.

    Also, don’t fix dry squeaky things with wd40. It lubricates at first, but it was never designed as a long term lubricant, and the grease will pick up debris in not very long, making the problem worse. Instead, use a silicon-based dry lubrication spray.
