Give me ideas if what to cut from my life

What’s some things that neurotypicals do in day to day life that society sees as normal, and expects, that you have actually cut from your life? Things you felt guilt for not doing in the beginning but now makes your life so much easier/better because you don’t do it anymore?

Help understanding what is realistic posture (side sleeping)

Context: perimenopausal side sleeper now finding that I'm waking up with sore neck and shoulders. I understand I need a better/appropriate pillow and a pillow between my knees.

Dilemma: When I am looking at videos and images of correct side sleeping I keep coming up against the same issue. All drawn pictures show the correct posture as straight horizontal spine. Every real person video demonstrating correct posture side sleeping (regardless of what pillows they use) their spines look angled and often the neck is also slightly angled up or down. Real person videos never look straight.

In my head I also can't visualise how you can lay on the ball of your shoulder and not have your spine on a slight incline upwards towards your head even if you manage to get the neck straight in alignment with the spine.

Question: Please help me to understand what is the actual reality of correct post when side sleeping?

Pasta

Chuck a stock cube in a pot of cold water and turn on the heat. Add any vegetables can be fresh or frozen. Fresh ones slice, can do this in your hand over the pot. It’s about a smaller/thinner size not perfection or shape.

Once the water comes to the boil add pasta and cook.

Can serve with broth or drain.

Advise and suggestions please

We have a free range duck who has a large pond. He has full reign of the back yard. We also provide water for lizards, bees and magpies.

I know with the smaller water dishes it’s a wash daily thing but how can we minimise the risk of bird flu with the pond?

Removing the pond is not an option. I realise it’s likely impossible but open to any suggestions regardless of how outside the box they are.

Supermarket all time low for me

So I realise coke cans are a luxury buy but I normally just by them on special. Colesworth both literally have the 24 packs on special at a higher price per L than the full price 30 packs 🤦‍♀️🥴

Christmas pjs

Each year I buy new Christmas family pjs, it's a tradition and one of the few clothes we actually buy new and not secondhand. I buy cotton. Is there a difference in getting them from Amazon vs Kmart etc? Also I'm open to any other tips or suggestions to make this more eco friendly.

Good bankcard/credit card points or % back

So I’m looking for the best % per spend. Not wanting specific retailer requirements. So for example if you spend $100 on groceries (at any supermarket) what $ value do you get in points or cash back based on the bankcard or credit card.

Half/whole cow question

So my family doesn’t eat sausages and we don’t buy the expensive cuts of red meat. Tend to buy things bulk like rump whole/steaks when on special at Foodland and Costco mince. So when I look at buying whole/half a cow it doesn’t seem like it’s cheaper. But I’m aware my brain isn’t always good 😅 am I missing something?

House keeping tips

Please don’t recommend books, audio books, videos, podcasts, people etc. I’m not going to do any of that because this type of stuff makes my brain shutdown.

Please share with me one simple tip for something you have done that has changed housekeeping for you. Bonus points if you’ve been able to make it long term habit.

House is always messy (not actually dirty/mouldy), OCD means I do tend to struggle to throw things away. Autism means I like clothes to be hung/folded so no wrinkles (absolutely refuse to iron) but means they don’t often make it off the inside clothes line (no dryer).

Where to start?

I’m middle age and don’t have any experience in any aspect of game dev. I have an idea for a game, think Stardew Valley style, that I’m considering making. Yes I know the mammoth size of this project and the learning required. Knowing myself and life achievements if I stick with it I can achieve it. Knowing myself it’s also very possible I don’t stick with it.

So my question is being all the different core design and technical elements required for game dev, what would you suggest a total newbie start with?

Monthly 10% off question

Can anyone tell me if I have signed up to one of the services that gives a monthly 10% off, will I receive the 10% off code/email around the same date that I received the first one after sign up?

e.g. If I signed up and received the first 10% off email on the 14th July, will I receive the 10% off email around 14th of each month? Or does it start coming at the beginning of the month after the first month?

Looking for guidance and tips

My psychologist has asked me to try journalling to better connect with my emotions. I don’t even know how to start. I mean I have a book and a pen but what do I actually do? What will I get from it? Sorry if this sounds dumb.

Teaching the wrong thing

I regularly see posts asking about if a specific age gap is inappropriate and it’s starting to annoy the fuck out of me. If both people are consenting adults the age gap is irrelevant. What should be being taught is to watch out for the power imbalance. It’s a significant power imbalance that puts a person at risk not how many years difference between their ages.
