Besides working out and taking care of mental health, I would advise you to make an appointment to check your vitamins and testosterone levels. I had problems with that in my 20s. Sure, your energy will drop with age, but it should not be "a lot less" in your 30s if everything is good with your hormones.

Oh I only see it at the extremes, e.g. all-night flight, coding, or drinking will ruin my next 1-2 days, while in my 20s I'd be up and running almost immediately. I also did gain a bunch of weight during covid and now I'm getting it back out though, so that also makes a diff.

Edit: also, I'm comparing now with a full-time job + studying a language + free-time coding vs on my early 20s as an undergrad with all the free time in the world so...

The last part is the answer for your question: they just don't want to get in their car if they can pay someone else to do that job for them. It's the same reason people pay for cleaning services.

I have used Tidal, Deezer and Amazon Music in the past, but I've always went back to Spotify. I prefer the UX, but not only that, the recommendations are WAY better for me than other streaming services. However, my music taste is very eclectic, so maybe that helps a lot to recommend something within my taste.

I got a prescription for vitamin D deficiency and started researching about it. On the way, I found the Coimbra Protocol[1], which evolves around giving high doses of vitamin D (40000-200000 IU) to multiple sclerosis patients.

Same here, and with good results, but a note of warning, according to my doctor 10,000 - 20,000 are considered in the protocol a normal daily supplement for adults with vitamin D issues. Dosages above that require medical supervision (in the form of regular blood and urine analysis). Also at those high doses there are potential negative side effects that must be mitigated (osteoporosis being among them). So please don't just YOLO massive doses of vitamin D.

People say that the most part of communication is nonverbal. If that's true, written communication would be heavily impaired by the lacking of all the visual cues that we use to interpret someone's words. I tend to agree with them, but that's just my personal experience.

Written text is perfectly capable of communicating all that, as evidenced by zillions of poems, novels, essays, screenplays, etc.

No, I counter that the real problem is that some people are either incredibly bad at communicating their real intent, or incredibly good at communicating their inner asshole nature.

There are other comments in this thread from throwaway accounts created very recently. It's the first time that I see something like that here on HN.

Ha, open your eyes then, throw-away accounts have been super common here for a very very long time (at least a decade).

It's plainly obvious what's going on, and what the near future of HN is if dang and co don't change things.

Well, I agreed with the parent's comment until I clicked on your link. I'm not american, but I understand how important these topics are for you. However, /active is completely filled with US government news and politics. I would not access HN if that was the homepage, honestly.
