  Nice Rs.

  That “spark” is whatever consciousness is in the end I think. Everything else is subject to direct inspection and can be found to be deterministic or emergent, not actually subject to any kind of “will”. I speak also from insights gained while meditating (or doing psychedelics 🤗)

  Daily life is what daily life is all about.

  I do think I’d potentially be happier with a partner who I could speak philosophy and politics with, but if we couldn’t also function simply navigating running a household and raising our family, then we really couldn’t be anything more than friends with benefits long term. Not that that would be a bad thing. It just depends on how you want to move your life.

  Was not expecting Elon Musk.

  She is great in the books. One of the most unique characters in fiction imho. CDProjekt did really well adapting the continuation of her story in the games.

  Hi, my name is ynthrepic and I’m a workaholic.

  I have one of those jobs where holidays just mean double the work when you get back. None of the work goes anywhere, and there’s nobody else who can pick up the slack.

  I actually love what I do, but…

  I work in the public sector, and do heaps of unpaid overtime, to make life better for people who don’t understand the only reason we don’t do a better job is because the government keeps cutting our budgets, claiming it’s because we don’t do a better job with the money we were given the previous year.

  We also do regular restructures which reduce morale and stoke fear, but the only people who lose their jobs are low level workers, or they just remove vacancies and claim savings on those, while moving middle managers sideways and not actually improving efficiency.

  My job gets harder, I end up making more mistakes or have to cut corners to make shit happen. I complain I get in trouble. I have a kid.

  I’m so fucking glad though I don’t live or work in the US. Y’all are so fucking fucked.
