Learning how to get better at critical thinking.

I study rhetoric and argumentation for fun. Rhetoric is for understanding how people persuade me, argumentation is for understanding the tactics they use to achieve that goal. I’ve developed a certain style of rhetoric and argumentation that I like a lot. Essentially, I think people should learn to identify their own assumptions and make them explicit. Far fewer misunderstandings would happen if people know wtf they themselves were saying.

Reading math books, Linux, Lemmy, and Extreme metal. I have nothing to talk about with people IRL other than the fucking weather (that I actually want to talk about).

The overlap between math and death metal fans is larger than im comfortable with.

Learning languages. It’d be nice if I could meet people irl who are interested in learning different languages and it’d probably keep my motivation up as I’ve been slacking.

Taking classes would basically put you in the perfect situation.

A few years ago I was in some discord servers for language exchange, but I had to put it all on the back burner to focus on job hunting and I lost motivation ever since, but I’m trying to reignite the flame.

I’m currently making an Astro theme to make static sites way easier and then after that I’m probably going back to working on the API viewer I was making with Svelte, Tauri, and Rust. (Think of something like Postman but way less bloated.) I mainly just need to finish the settings and redo the data input form and then it should be ready for a first release (but it’ll still obviously be far from finished.)
