Wait wait wait… So I only know a small amount of French and mostly from media I’ve watched, so unless I’m mixing words here when I’ve heard “garçon” (pronounced garsonne?) in a restaurant, they’re literally calling the waiter “boy?”
I was literally just thinking about this on my way home yesterday. Society is completely broken, there is no us only ME. this is especially terrible in the United States where we fetishize “rugged individualism.” You don’t care for anyone but yourself. Look out for #1…
So when the choice is “money for me” or “consider my impact on my surroundings” the result is “lmfao consider others? It would be stupid for me to not make this money at the expense of others.”
Every shitty self serving decision made for ones own profit is the “smart thing” to do, even if it was literally destroying the entire town around you. I hate it.
That’s the route I went initially. I thought I was being delusional by thinking I could be different, the thought of denying my initial feelings/reactions felt like I was being “fake” or denying who I am, but then I just remain as the person I hate most in the entire world.
I can’t live life being an angry bitter miserable asshat who never misses a chance to beat himself up because I think I deserve it. If I hate that person so much then I should just leave them in the past and be better. It’s so strange that it’s actually physically painful to go through. Like I get headaches fighting off my initial reaction and forcing myself to think differently/positively.
That’s awesome! I wish I could do that. I quit a fairly well paying job because I can’t stand driving in this overpopulated shit hole I live in adding 3+hours to my day and now I’m a factory schmuck so I have to drive some distance just to get to work anyway.
Tried learning some forms of development so I could try to work remotely as that seems to be the only way to really dump your car, but my dumbass brain finds no interest in anything development related… I’m not sure if I hate my brain or driving more lol
For me it’s nice to have someone playing the same game as I am while I’m playing, the streams are usually long so I don’t need to worry about stopping to find something new to put on and I learn stuff about the game I might have missed or just never knew. I live alone so, depending on the streamer, the conversation is also nice to have around.
I can’t say I’m one of those that only watches a stream though, I need to be doing something other than just watching lol
This is 100% me, I just commented elsewhere a similar thing, for me I love that the streams tend to be long. I like having things playing for long periods at a time so having to stop and find a new video every 10 minutes is maddening especially if I’m at work and it’s more like background noise about a topic/game I enjoy.
All I can say is The Big Brain Economists have said that “the labor value theory is absolutely bunk and has no basis in reality.” Along with “only marxists believe this drivel.”
I’m not A Big Brain or an economist so I can’t say why they say these things, but I have seen a lot of pushback on this concept. I think it all comes down to the “agreement” we make when we accept a job, not that we have a choice. “Not working” is only an option for those that are already rich.
Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just...
There is one very specific feeling I’ve experienced “in my brain” and it’s the exact same feeling when I either take anti depression/anxiety medication and when I take something like acid or mushrooms, it feels like an “overload” of sorts, like there’s too much sensory input and I can “feel” it in my head.
This is exactly how I feel. I’m enjoying it more now after I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Service Charge lol
I did get literally 5 fps in the main menu when I first started, that had me worried. I set it to medium settings and then back to high and for some reason that fixed it.
Me: forgets pencil in another room. “Way to go you fucking worthless pile of garbage! How could anyone possibly love you, you’re so goddamn pathetic it’s a wonder you even remember to breathe.”

RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites
How can it possibly be, that an ISP, which I’m paying for gets to decid, which sites I’m allowed to have access to, and which not?...
