    @Girzo @Thought Art @Average Investor thanks for advise guys I've decided to use a hybrid system for now. Writing some notes by hand and some on a laptop + taking photos of handwritten notes like Girzo advised.

    @Leo Gura so basically I would need to have a whole library of separate notebooks for different topics if I went fully with handwriting, right? 

    @Stretch how do you organize them exactly?

    @LSD-Rumi yeah this is probably what I will do or get a scanner in the long term. I am just worried that my commonplace book file will become too big over time and if it might cause any issues.

    In your particuliar case, the best combination would probably be a mixture of paperback gratitude journal/general journal for everything. And an online journal for a more intelectual stuff. I

    Yeah, that's a good idea.

    I would still use Onenote on laptop/PC, whilst combining it with Notion for mobile/tablet. That way you have the best of all worlds.

    Having two different apps sounds like a bad idea for me and I don't really need it on a mobile. Also, as I said I don't really like one note because it's not really clear to me what will happen if I decide to switch OS to Linux for example. I like obsidian more because it uses standard files and markup language so my files won't be tied down to just obsidian if anything happens to it. Plus it's available on mac, windows, and linux. I just need to learn how to use it properly.

    Personally, I've completely transcended the need for all paper stuff, including books, magazines etc. I only use the screen.

    Ehh, but they are so awesome, haha.

    @Lila9 thanks for sharing. Does it save notes in pdf so that you can watch them anywhere?

    I don't think this is the best option for me though. I like the feeling of writing on the paper and disconnecting from all the electronic devices since I already spend too much time in front of the screen.

    Also, I've just bought a new fountain pen, ink, and a journal and am really excited to use them, haha

    I think I will go for a mixed system where I take some notes on my laptop (for example from actualized.org videos) and then also have a paper journal on the side.

    I've come up with a really cool idea of an emotional mastery journal (inspired by your suggestion btw).

    I love handwriting much more than typing on a computer and whenever I really need to think things through I do it on paper. I am not sure why, but I feel like it's easier for me to think this way, not to mention that I just love the process in general.

    But of course the issue is that you can't really organise and store your notes the same way you could in a digital commonplace book. So I was wondering if there is anything I can do to overcome this issue. The only thing I can think of so far is to make photos or scans of my notes and then upload them to my digital commonplace book, but I am worried that they will start taking up too much space and it will be cumbersome in general. Has anyone tried to do it this way? What software should I use: Notion, Obsidian (I don't like outlook because it's windows only and I have a mac and don't want to be tied to one OS forever in general).

    Thank you for reading my journal!

    No problem it was very interesting to read.

    I am surprised myself I ever decided to have a second child. It was a horribly difficult time when my baby was small. But apparently people pass these periods and they forget how it was. I have to confess that it's mainly my husband who wants the second child. I am completely OK to go both ways. 

    I see. You sound like a great mom, so I am sure you will do great. If kids should be born to anyone it's to people like you I think.

    9 hours ago, ElenaO said:

    You seem interested in being a parent. Do you have kids or planning to have kids?

    Idk honestly. Sometimes I feel excited by the idea of having a child and raising it, and can fantasize about it here and there. But also sometimes I feel like dedicating my life to myself, haha.

    In any case, if I will every have kids, it will probably be in my late 30s / early 40s, because I would like to be the best dad I can for them.

    So we are basically fucked because even if we should actually shut it down, there is no way humanity would organize itself to actually implement this decision, right?

    Like even just doing it on the scale of one country, like the US, would be super hard. There is no chance that it can be done on a worldwide scale.

    @Leo Gura shouldn't intelligence be correlated with how loving you are? Do you think that this is not going to be the case with AI?

    I mean, if it has no self-awareness or consciousness, then it shouldn't act out of its own free will. And if it will indeed become conscious, hyper intelligent, and able to act on its own, then shouldn't it also be able to appreciate life? Or am I getting it wrong?

    @ElenaO wow, I've just read the whole thing and think that it's really cool that you documented your journey here.

    In the beginning you didn't sound like you would ever want to repeat this process again, did your opinion change now? What made you decide to have a second kid?

    Edit: also, did doctors tell you why did you have the miscarriage / what went wrong?

    1) Trying to hurt me will be the last thing you do in your life.
    2) More seriously, why are you so interested in what I could possibly do and which concerns only my private life?

    Idk, it's kind of fun.

    I've watched a bunch of serial killer documentaries lately. Maybe I could become one as well. Maybe it's my life purpose to be a vigilante serial killer, haha

    And if I was contemplating my choice of victims, cheaters would be at the top of the list.

    But don't worry, I am just trolling ^_^

    It's just in your head, you created a relationship -> cheat = mean = loser etc.
    Can you explain how ejaculating in another vagina one night puts me in such a category?

    Because you behave like one.

    You could honestly let a woman who you are dating know that you plan to sleep with other people even after marriying her because that's just who you are and because you have a very primal libido, and blah, blah, blah.

    That would be a strong move. But you know that if you did this no woman would decide to build a relationship with you so instead you decide to use sneaky tactics and manipulations.

    You would be a loser because you can't get the amount of sex that you want  while being upfront and honest. For example by building a polyamourous relationship or by staying single and having casual sex with different women. That would require some skills, effort and character on your part, and you have none, which is a definition of a looser.

    On top of that you decide to compensate your lack of skills, effort, and character with petty lies and manipulation. Which turns you into a little, sneaky looser.

    Having sex with another woman isn't going to make me love my wife less or just alter the relationship, so I don't get it.

    If you have sex with another woman while being in a committed monogamous relationship and hide this from your wife because you are fully aware that she would be hurt by it and wouldn't like it, then you don't love your wife in the first place. And probably also have no idea what it means to love someone at all.

    So the notion of you "not loving your wife less" after it is irrelevant since there was no love to begin with.

    Are you a woman? women often struggle to understand the very primitive and emotionally detached nature of the male libido.

    No, I am a man, and I would rather cut my balls off than cheat on my partner.

    Imagine that you end up with a girl with a good ass and big tits.  You can sleep with her and neither your wife nor anyone will ever know.  What is the problem ?

    Besides you turning into a sneaky little looser? There is no problem.

    For you.

    For your wife it would be a problem however, cause that would mean that she has wasted a tonn of time and energy on a sneaky little looser instead of spending it with someone who genuinely loves her and cares about her.

    For a person who wants to make a conscious and humane choice, better to adopt a cat or a dog from the animal shelter, for free or for a low price than to buy a purebred dog or a cat and support this cruel industry.

    100% agree with that, but I also think that different breeds should have a place to exist. Border Collies are amazing for example and are a quite healthy breed.

    And yeah, the industry could be much more conscious and ethical of course.

    I feel like this song is so true

    Это как бросать постепенно — тот же самый развод
    Размазывать свои сопли по стенам на ещё один год
    От гнезда до полёта — только рывок
    Ты либо бросился навстречу неизвестности, либо не смог
    Я буду долго запрягать у хлипкого моста
    Но с прошлым своим распишусь в один удар хлыста
    Сорву с себя всё напускное, за слоем слой
    Открою глаза и впервые увижу, кто я такой
    Во всём себе признаюсь, все пластыри посдираю
    Где я сужу, не остыв, где надменен до края
    Где я на самом деле о себе, а не о ком-то
    С чем я родился и что нацепил для понта
    Где я себя обманываю — впредь и отныне
    Пропасть в один шаг между достоинством и гордыней
    Чтобы научиться парить, на небосклоне мерцать
    Нужно увидеть в отражении слепого птенца

    What stops me from changing my life right now and becoming the person I want to be?

    The only thing that stops me is my own victim complex. I like to whine about how lost, depressed, hopeless I am. I've put myself into a mindset where I feel helpless. I tell myself that I just "can't control myself" and how I always backslide to where I started. But what if it doesn't have to be like that? What if it's my own decision to backslide and give up, and go back to my old ways?

    What really stops me from saying "No" and moving forward forever? Nothing, my own limiting beliefs and victim mentality, that's it.

    I can do it, I can change if I really decide to. I can change right now. I don't have to keep struggling back and forth forever, this is madness. Whatever suffering I escape by giving up is nothing compared to how I suffer by drowning in this swamp I am living in now. Suffering comes from victimhood, uncertainty, and back and forth struggle.

    What about a premium quality pet food? There is a difference between low quality pet food and high quality pet food.

    I mean sure, it's probably better. I just remember being into this topic a few years ago (mostly regarding dogs) and there was a youtube channel that I liked that did reviews of pet foods and basically all of them, including "premium" brands were not good.

    From vegan pov, from a wider perspective, it doesn't make sense to kill on purpose many animals only to support one pet, especially if the pet can live and thrive without much meat or any. Like dogs. And apperantly cats either. But it requires some understanding of food in order to give the right diet. Same like with humans. 

    I say what it's like from a vegan pov, and even for vegan pet owners there is no one right answer. 

    I generally agree. My only concern is that it's really hard to know what is the right diet for your pet. Like you might think that you dog is thriving on whatever diet you give to him and then he will die 5 years earlier than he could have and you will never even know about it.

    It's not always something that people plan. You can be in a situation (happened to almost everyone at least once in their life, I bet) when you find a sick poor or dying stray cat or dog and no one wants it, and maybe you know that you can give it, not necessary a luxurious, but a better life than the animal rescue shelter who even might kill the animal if they won't find them home soon (most of them). There are bunch of homeless cats and dogs and too little people to adopt them. The most humane thing to do is not to buy any pet but to rescue them and give them home and a safe place to live. Cats and dogs are domesticated animals who can't survive in wild alone. Unlike other animals like parrots and rats.

    Okay, that's a good point.

    *Parrot also probably won't survive in the wild unless you live near the Amazon rainforest or something like that, haha. I am not sure about rats. I think pet rats are different from the ones that live in in streets.

    @Lila9 my logic is that getting a pet is something that you by choice, nobody makes you. You can't even get accidentally pregnant with a pet like you could with a child.

    So if this is your own choice, you might as well approach it responsibly and do your best.

    And I understand that sometimes you feel like you really want to have a pet but might not be able to provide the best conditions for it. I feel like that myself sometimes. I still think that the best decision is to avoid getting one if that's the case. Or get a pet that you are able to take care of.

    Because it's not like you can only get a cat or a dog. There are also rabbits, hamsters, rats, fish, parrots, etc. Like seriously, if you are vegan, why not get yourself a rabbit? They are cute as hell, you can still play with them and cuddle them, and it's much easier to feed them.

    Or a parrot. Parrots are really cool, be cause they can be very smart and you can teach them to do all sorts of things. And if you raise them properly they will let you to pet them, rub their head, will sit in your shoulder, etc.

    Edit:

    Look at this, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen

    Don't you think that given the condition and the production methods of the unprocessed meat today, can't it also be harmful? 

     

    Probably still less harmful. Pet food has basically all the same negatives of meat from a grocery store baked into it (antibiotics, animal eating random crap, being kept in horrible conditions, etc.) plus much lower quality standards and all the additional stuff that's added in the production process.

    I guess you could get some high quality meat and eggs either from smaller local suppliers or some brands that sell that kind of stuff if you really care.
