[Random] Health Tips!

Off-Topic
#1

I am so bored, but I haven’t the time for much else.
I will randomly come back here and post stuff because whatever.

SOCIAL

Social Health Tip #1 : SEEK VENGEANCE! I mean, forgiveness.
List the 3 (anywhere from 1 to 5) people you loathe most in this community.
Find out why, then apologise to them if you think you’ve done them any wrong.
If you think they ought to apologize, too… that’s your pride talking.
The poor manners of others does not justify yours!

Social Health Tip #2 : Opinions exist. Argh!
Just because someone disagrees with you, doesn’t mean they hate you.
Nor does it mean they are your enemies.
Don’t take it as an offence that someone tells you they don’t agree with you!
Be cool, brush yourself off and say something edgy, like “Yeah, okay.”.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

Physical Health Tip #1 : BLINK, YOU FOOL.
Close your eyes for 15-20 seconds every 15 minutes!
If you’re too lazy to keep track, try downloading a safe browser app (I use eyeCare on Chrome)
(I disabled the sounds, so I just get a small pop up window in the corner)
I don’t always notice it and sometimes I just ignore it, but when I’m not too occupied, it helps.
Bonus tip (by chettone) : Every 15 minutes, look at an object about 15 meters away for 15 seconds!

Physical Health Tip #2 : THE SCREEN, IT BURNS! by chettone [Click here for original post]
Use a lower brightness for your screen during the night!
Try using an app to help with this.
chettone recommends Flux, get the link from his original post. (click the link next to his name above)

Physical Health Tip #3 : Sit up straight, young (wo)man, before I send you to your room.
It’s that simple. Sit up straight, don’t force your body to bend or let it slack.
Just sit as neutrally as you feel inclined to.
This is also a mental health tip, though I do it purely to look good.
(and to reduce the occurrence of neck pains and tears. they hurt.)

Physical Health Tip #4 : WASH THINE FILTHY MUG!
Wash your face thoroughly every few hours.
Especially if you’ve to sit in front of a computer for any long amounts of time.
If you’re so fortunate to have a bag of soft wipes nearby, use them from time to time!
It’ll help stave off all the usual dirty face… things.
Keep yourself pretty for your future/current girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/slave/mistress/master/pillow!

MENTAL

Mental Health Tip #1 : Don’t wind yourself up!
The instant you need to explain something to someone, when it has no impact on
what you’re trying to do, consider saying “I give up” and walk away.
Trade in that empty pride for some relief.

Mental Health Tip #2 : Oversleep is for the weak. (and the wise)
Is it past 2am? Do you have nothing of importance to deal with overnight? Are you smart?
If you said yes to two or more of the above, then go to bed before your butt expires. (12am, if possible!)
I don’t even think I need to explain why this is important for you.

Thanks for all the tips! Regarding Physical health tip #1 I would also add the 15-15-15 rule, that means watching for 15 seconds something 15 meters away every 15 minutes. It helps a lot, trust me, I worked as a programmer and stayed in front of a PC dialy for more than 8hs.

Physical Health Tip #2

Try using less bright on your screen during night. I use an app called Flux that changes the gamma color to a more warm tone according to the time of the day. Since I use Flux I never get my eyes tired as I used before. At the begining the change will shock you a bit, but once you get used to it you will thank me :smile:

That was pretty uhh… heart-warming, Shiro.

#5

But…do you even lift?

#6

Hey I just did this and my girlfriend saw it and thought it was cool. She got it on her computer too and loves it. Thank you for this. What do you suggest for the transition speed though?

#7

I use Flux too, it’s great!

#8

Good to hear she likes it :smile:. I use fast transition but my lighting range isnt that big (from 3700k daylight to 3300k at night). I used long trans and everyday at dawn I got a small frame drop when it changed “drastically” from bright to allogen. Nothing to worry about, but you could notice the change while in fast trans you wont notice it at all.

@chettone
Flux sounds great, though it’s a bit of a messy program for
people who spend all day doing any sort of ‘colour-sensitive work’. (as the program puts it)
Do you think it’ll cause a greater strain on my eyes to only use this on certain off days?

#10

I’m happy you liked. I have put all of my heart in that message :blush:
And damn OP was right, I feel so refreshed now.

#11

Oh wow, I have to say, I’m liking this already, the sun set here about half an hour ago and it’s pretty nice. Thanks man :smiley:

#12

You can always disable Flux if you are doing color sensitive work or if you would like to appreciate the “true” colors of what you are watching (a movie for example). You can use Flux for specific tasks such as reading or long gaming sessions. It wont strain your eyes. Getting used to watch a cold bright screen isnt a good thing for your eyes.
From my own experience, I had to use eye-drops because my eyes were too dry at night. I found Flux as a solution to that problem.

I would also recommend having good lighting in your room in order to not get “flashed” by your screen.

I found that it would be really nice that ToS loading screens include some healthy tips as an extra :smile:

#13

I suppose it’s just a bit too annoying to keep up with.
I’ll make do with just being in a well-lit room and taking short breaks.
