Everything in their world is transactional
I grew up in a pretty conservative household and we were literally raised that life is work and work is hell. By way of the transitive property, life = hell. It’s taken a long time through various degrees of depression and I’m still not fully grown out of it.
But yes, the entire culture and identity is about being miserable and persevering through it, even if that means making yourself and everyone around you more miserable to justify the perseverance.
Like the saying “nothing good comes free.” You could say the sunrise is free, but they’ll argue it’s not because you have to wake up early and waking up early is by necessity miserable so that the sunrise can be good. They’re brainwashed into thinking the only way a good thing happens is through suffering. Except the truly lost ones who only see life as suffering.
In my opinion, the probable burnout isn’t worth it. Burnout is like a heat injury, once you get it you become more susceptible to it for a time. I recommend maintaining a healthy work-freetime balance now so you know how to do it in the future.
God, I hope people can rally around Harris. My biggest concern with the sudden change was fracturing across the Dems. I hope it’s just a concern
6-3 split, but yeah
Looks like a coordinated disinformation campaign masquerading as amalgamated ragebait designed to discredit any non-conservative voice on Twitter.
Oh I see. When I said it, it’s because I thought that meant we were safe from this movement continuing to exist. But you’re right, it’s definitely more about being prepared for that death struggle
That is almost verbatim what I told myself leading up to 2016. And here we are.
Why did they use a Hieronymus Bosch painting?
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and sometimes Young). Also, Wooden Ships, same band. Four Way Street is an outstanding album full of heavy hitters
Try the Expanse series. It’s long and very well done, but you can tune in and out and still get the story.
The Andy Serkis narration felt like watching the movies again, but with hours of bonus content, which is also the original content
I tried to read the Fountainhead twice when I was a teenager and I never got more than a third of the way. It felt like watching an old person try to remember their shopping list
This is exactly why I love Lemmy. I noticed it within hours of quitting reddit. The sheer volume of content on Reddit, plus the algorithms, kept my attention for hours. Lemmy just isn’t that big and probably 60% of the content I see is in swedish, gerrman, or dutch, which I can’t read, so I spend like 15 or 20 minutes max here and then go do something else.
Hey, we suspended morality for this thought experiment
See exactly how many ways there are to skin a cat. The same one. Repeatedly.
Thanks, I’m on Voyager and kept looking to report the account itself, but I guess I can only report comments
