asr21··on Netflix’s bad habits have caught up with it
It was a good movie, but not a great movie. I would be surprised if you would rate that movie in top 20 for the last decade.
asr21··on Ask HN: How to break anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle?
For me, starting anything is the most tough part, but once I start something I will work on it, I am good. What I do is to turn on the music and make myself start. For some tasks, I usually get engrossed so much that I don't hear the music or lyrics at all. Other times, I force myself to do something with the beat of the music. ( I listen to all kinds of music, for some reason lo-fi playlists won't work for starting my work, I listen to some pop or rap or rock)
asr21··on I thought I’d have accomplished a lot more today and also before I was 35 (2020)
There are some things you can have an impact on. Why not try being a really good person and not an asshole. Nothing matters in the world anyway, you won't get anything by being mean to anyone.

You can try to have good memories with your family and friends. Sure, everyone will be gone after a few years and nobody will ever remember you. But you are here now, might as well have fun.

asr21··on Ask HN: How to use technical analysis for long term investing?
Indian here, so I won't know if this works on NASDAQ or US stock market in general. Also, I have traded only a short time in bear market. Most of my trading is in Bull Market. So take my input with a truck load of salt .

The thing worked for me, is the simple concept of Support and Resistance and Dow theory ( Higher high, Higher low all that shit.) . So let's say there is a certain point or a range after which , it usually bounces back . That's the support and I would buy at that range.

One more logic here was, let's say a stock is trading at 50. It's support is at 48. I can afford to lose 100$ in this trade. So I would get 50 shares at 50$. If it goes below 48. I will take my loss of 100$ . Exit that position. It's more about calculated gambling

asr21··on The Coronavirus Is Here Forever
Totally agree with you, after both of my shots are done. I have been vaccinated, my parents have been vaccinated. A major percentage of the country is vaccinated. Even if after vaccination, I can get covid, then I am willing to take the risk of dying. What else am I supposed to do? How many years will we be in this state. Let's just accept that this is harsh truth about humanity and move on.

asr21··on Trying to study textbooks effectively: a year of experimentation
I am just finding more about this space . Correct me if I am wrong, My understanding is Anki is helpful when you want to remember some extremely detailed information (might even be considered as trivia by some). My usecase isn't like that. I just want to remember the main concepts of everything. Don't want to remember things like who developed that thing or when was it developed.

Have you been able to do this ?
