l3x4ur1n··on Young adulthood is no longer one of life's happiest times
Well for me adolescence was pretty OK. Had my fun, played games all day after school (which itself was alright too) and that continued well into my college and even few years after that. In college I had a blast, really the best years of my life from "careless freedom" point of view. Never ever will I live like that again, it is not sustainable in the long run, but it was really fun when I was under 25. I continued the lifestyle later, but the satisfaction with my life went rapidly down, because I wanted something deeper. Today, at 30, with wife and a child, I don't have so much fun as I used to, life is more stressful and busy, but at the end of the day it is more satisfying and I would not want it otherwise.

l3x4ur1n··on How babies and young children learn to understand language
Slovak children usually grow up with Czech narrated cartoons, so they are able to understand Czech more easily. I heard that Czech children does not receive this language training for Slovak, so they have a harder time understanding Slovak language. I never "learned" Czech in school but I watched a lot of cartoons as a child (born '93) and read books in Czech so I have no problem understanding Czech language as a Slovak. I have a hard time understanding Polish though, never clicked for me.

l3x4ur1n··on Show HN: I created an app for you to be a more unpredictable romantic partner
"Not available in your region." You're saying it's because of data privacy laws. I'm in the EU, so it's not available in the whole EU? Why even is it so privacy sensitive? Do I have to share any private information to use the app?

l3x4ur1n··on The failure of self-checkout technology
Same in Slovakia. I love self-checkouts, been using them preferably. Paired with scanning items to the store app as I pick them from aisle and then just scanning self-checkout QR code so all the items neatly import to checkout register and I just pay for it and go (Kaufland, Tesco). It's been really good experience.
l3x4ur1n··on The Subscription Trap
Ah, I see. I didn't want to brag, if that's how it felt. When I was at a low point in life, I learned to monitor all my expenses and keep money on short leash. I can understand someone who never had to deal with that kind of situation never learned the skill and might have problems with keeping track of subscriptions. Thank you for the elaboration.
l3x4ur1n··on The Subscription Trap
Is this a problem for people? Like, do they not know how much they pay for subscriptions? I have detailed knowledge of every service I pay for and I seriously don't understand the issue.

Any recommendation for best noise cancelling headphones? I'm looking at bose quiet comfort 45 or Sony WH-1000XM5, but I can't decide.
l3x4ur1n··on Forget subtitles: YouTube now dubs videos with AI-generated voices
What are you on about? Youtube's auto generated subtitles are pretty good. granted, 5-10% of them are miss, but they usually convey at least enough to grasp the context. I would be lost without them (I'd have to be listening to really loud sound and/or focus more intensively to what is said)
l3x4ur1n··on Social media is too much for most of us to handle
I used to use Facebook a lot. It knew me, always recommended stuff I'd be interested in and I sometimes spent hours on Facebook and not even realizing it, only after I finished and then I'd feel guilty about it. The same shit next day.

I quit all social media 3 years ago. I don't visit them daily anymore. I visit Facebook only with a purpose to check something specific when I need it in one of the groups (in my country reddit or Twitter is not popular, we have Facebook groups for everything) and I almost never check the feed. When I do I realize I changed so much in those three years Facebook no longer knows me and the stuff it recommends is not interesting anymore.

I don't miss any of it. Yeah, sometimes I don't get what colleagues are talking about, but it's not important. I have more time on my hands to do anything else.

l3x4ur1n··on Thought Cloning: Learning to think while acting by imitating human thinking
How do you think then? I have two modes: 1. Conscious thinking with words, when I am actively trying to think about something, when I'm trying to solve a problem. 2. And unconscious thinking where I don't actively think about the problem and do something else, but after a while I come to some conclusion.

But when I am trying to actively think of something I know no other way than to think in words. I am not a visual thinker (I'm kind of aphantasic, when you ask me to think about a horse, only an idea pops up in my head without any specific image and I have to try really hard and describe the horse with words to make some kind of misty parts of the horse).

l3x4ur1n··on Ask HN: What are ways to combat loneliness and build meaningful connections?
I actually just yesterday attended my first ever event from Meetup (it was not paid) and I met a lot of interesting people and had good conversations. So I'd say to OP to give it a chance if they find something interesting there.
