Yeah but to get there you have to be bored first, or maybe people jump right from interacting with something to daydreaming/making up ideas? I dont know, but I dont think they do. I guess maybe we find ā€˜being bored’ to mean different things? To me it’s usually a restless feeling that’s not being affected by external stimuli and its essential to really get into a deep thinking zone because I don’t have any alternatives.

Same here, for the most part. You’ve got nothing to do, and you’re wide awake, so you’re alert. I guess my real gripe is treating enduring boredom like it’s a flex. I remember a time where we had no other choice but to endure boredom in many situations. We don’t have to anymore, so why should we? Personally, I don’t want to go back to the days where there’s no other choice. It’s one of the reasons why I work in warehouses; there’s always something to do. And during that menial work, the brain doesn’t shut off. There’s still contemplation, creative thinking, memory management, etc. It’s like occupying your time while allowing your brain to compute in the background.

I agree, its very silly.

Thats very true, but the brain is quite preoccupied when youre watching/reading/listening to something, which isn’t bad at all, it just doesn’t have to be your every waking moment is what I’m saying.

This is so nice, I love the name Font Lonesome haha. I recently removed Material Symbols from one of my sites where I was using it for (several cases of) a single up arrow … really took me 4 years to conclude that I could just use a Unicode one instead of embedding an entire symbol font :melting_face:

Love reading about your language learning adventures! You’ve taken on far more than I could. I’m only learning Spanish and Latin at the moment, and my attempts at it wane every now and then. I’m terrible at keeping up with my flash cards, so I try to immerse myself whenever I can. Good luck on your Chinese studies!
