I don't really trust calculated/composite scores from wearables myself. But caffeine/stimulant use might be worth thinking about.

quitting to pick pineapples isn't going to make you any happier until you find something larger than your own ego and physical pleasure to live for.
I dunno, one can be noticeably happier on the pineapple plantations while still suffering from a lack of larger meaning, and indeed that's a pretty fair description of how it worked out for me.
There's also some ambiguity here (and in the original pineapples post)--is "picking pineapples" meant to denote physical work in the outdoors, maybe somewhere exotic, maybe seasonal, maybe paired with travel during the offseason? (Planting trees in Canada, fishing in Alaska, wildland fire, etc. etc.). Or is it merely supposed to be any kind of low-wage minimum viable employment? In the former case in particular, I can see it being quite a bit better than Office Spaceing and swiping harder, while still being ultimately meaningless. In the latter case, maybe less so (though even then, "work a mcjob and spend half the year training muay thai in rural Thailand and living like a local" might fall into the same bucket as the first class of jobs.).

have only really seen that particular work
You trippin foo, "Freedom from Want", "Rosie the Riveter", "Dreams", "The Runaway", and "Soda Jerk" are all at least as common in the US outside of the Extremely Online, "Freedom From Want" quite a bit more so. I've also seen "Be a Man", "Sunset", and "Sunday Morning" around pretty often. While I will otherwise refrain from offering opinions on artistic merit in this comment, I'll add that when I was trying to find links to all these pictures I'd seen but didn't know the names of I encountered "CPA" and "The Lineman" for the first time, and I quite like them both.

I think most women consider the idea of various forms of sex work as a fantasy in much the same way that most men vaguely fantasize about violent crime, or of running off to work on an oil rig.
Whoa

You can also find 3rd party OSes (KOReader, Plato) that work noticeably better than stock.

I'm actually not sure why this method of eating fruit hasn't caught on more outside of Southeast Asia
Sounds a bit like the Mexican custom of eating mango/pineapple/melon with tajín, which is quite good.

Some modestly weighted chins and dips (via a dip belt worn low on the hips) were pretty much an overnight fix for some back pain I was having around January/February.
Nothing much of substance to add, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. Have done a few touring-with-a-purpose trips on pavement, would like to hit the GDMBR and Baja Divide someday.
