How do you deal with the expectation to have a "career", and like a structured 9-5? I'm coming around to just saying fuck societal expectations, but I don't actually, practically know how to live like that.

But another way I've thought of things is that I essentially have two options. I can do the middle class life thing, own a car, have a few hours a day of free time, work towards buying a house by the time I'm 50. The daily life would suck but it would be somewhat predictable. On the other hand, I could live according to my own clock. Let money be secondary to keeping myself alive and passionate. Look for and accept whatever help I can get without shame. It seems more risky, but the risk of living the other life is that I hate it and destroy myself

    Are they learning to be a 14th century bureaucrat or something? Wtf are these skills, why does it look like an education for fancy young lads who will inherit daddy's land?

    Ireland's reputation as an anti-zionist nation is kind of a sham. The average person supports Palestine and might even attend a march, but there is next to no effort to affect any kind of change. People keep buying Israeli goods and using Zionist services. The state still imports a massive amount from Israel. People are supportive of Palestine in theory alone, they don't want to actually change their own daily life.

    There are so many people who deserve to be dead, who would make the world a better place if they were. Its never bad people who wonder if the world would be better without them.

    I think there's value in moments that dont mean anything. Like when I see a stupid meme or a cute dog or I hear a bird that I used to hear when I was a kid. Suffering doesn't have much value, and there's a lot of suffering, but the valuable moments did eventually make me want to keep living.

    I've been extremely suicidal. I've spent most of my life since teenagehood being depressed, crippled by mental illness. Today I am fairly happy, and I like living. Depression and suicidality isn't a terminal diagnosis. You actually can want to live. I couldn't imagine it for a long time.

    I had to decide to want to live, though. I didn't get suddenly inspired to pursue happiness. I decided to make it my goal to be happy because literally what do I have to lose. And it was hard and I lacked motivation a lot of the time. I didn't just want to get better, I had to want to want to get better. If that makes sense.

    I spent all of yesterday building a PC (NOT easy, Jesus Christ) and now it needs an OS. Fuck windows, or course, so I want a Linux OS. I'll be mainly using my PC for gaming and editing videos, and I'd much prefer something that works similarly to Windows just for comfort purposes since I'm already familiar. Also I've heard Linux is incompatible with some games?

    So, nerds, what do you recommend?

     

    Watch with captions!

    Ough my god it scratches my brain soo so good. Idk what Jamie Paige did but I need to inject Teto straight into my blood. Fuck I've listened to it like ten times today. Oohohojo and the animation and the lyrics. In what other song does the singer get her words wrong and scream "aaahhhh my penis" in the middle? It's so fuckin good

     

    God its so fucking good. I've never played a story-heavy game and then wanted to immediately replay it. I've played through chapters 3 and 4 twice in the past month and I wanna replay it again already. Honestly if you haven't played it, and you have any interest in story games, I recommend jumping in now. The release of chapters is such a fun and exciting time and I wouldn't wanna miss future releases. Also if you don't want to play, at least check out the OST because its without a doubt the best I've ever heard.
