That's the neat part. There is no point. You get to define what matters in your life!
Optimistic nihilism. π«
(this is not meant to downplay the real strife brought about by the rich trying to min/max society and looking at human beings like expendable resources)
That sounds like me during my decades of raw dogging ADHD and a bouquet of comorbidities.
It can still be that way for me, but with medication and vigilance and mindfulness and constantly trying to reverse engineer my brain/body's needs, I had a much more productive 2025 than previous years. (productive at the things I care about, not just becoming a good cog in the machine at work)
That couldn't be a picture of Andromeda though, since that is not the perspective you get from our galaxy. Andromeda is facing us more with the edge than being broadside like in this image.
I'm not complaining though. Thanks for including the alt-text!
βYou think maybe heβs a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him?β
Fuck his feelings.

I thought he made some references to Musk taking care of the voting machines.
It's pretty stunning how they talk like terrorists and abusers and people just go with it.
But I guess I know from experience that conservative culture has a lot of "shut up and deal with it" conditioning. And not like "practicing stoicism is good for you" dealing with it. It's more like "know your place, respect your betters, and shut your mouth."
Maybe not the race of the person who got shot, but overall? This is ICE after all.
I know, right? How am I supposed to take that argument seriously?
This is not a situation where being technically logically correct matters. Of course we don't AHKSHUALLY know. The world is complex and chaotic. Maybe if Harris got elected and started a reasonable administration the butterfly effect would have led to kim jong un launching all his nukes last month.
We don't get to try both ways. Sometimes we have to estimate probabilities and acknowledge that all choices are flawed and come with numerous risks.
Just look at the news and be honest with yourself.
I think you are completely right, but that doesn't invalidate the point behind the OP even if the specific comparison doesn't fit great.
Having a cozy dark indoor day won't kill you, but it does seem to be good for us to get ample exposure to the natural world.
Yeah, that's another fun aspect of our culture. Jobs that many people actually want due to what they are passionate about lead to abuse.
It's the reason I never seriously considered getting into game development or becoming a teacher.
I am the rare father involved in the PTO (parent-teacher organization) along with my wife at our kid's elementary school. We were handing out basic cheap supplies to the teachers last month as a Christmas thing. We'd interrupt the class to give the teacher a SINGLE roll of paper towels and then a small box of tissues or some glue sticks or whatever, and they were excited and grateful every time!
Hell yes!
I love losing my phone in my own damn house and not worrying about it for hours.
Many times even if I'm listening to music while I do yard work and tend to animals, I'll leave my phone inside. That's one nice thing about wireless earbuds with good range. Keep the screen far away. Even if I'm not in the mood I know that looking at trees and pets will produce better results for this brain.
I've been working on reverse engineering the brain requirements for a while, hence the existence of some of that stuff, lol. Straddling the line between still working the tech job while playing retired goose farmer. (no geese here, but various other types of terrestrial and aquatic critters)
Yooo, can communism get ME that swole too?
