Sincerity

Well, at least now you admit what your true political stances are, instead of playing that false game of being "unbiased". I knew you were a crypto right winger since you first posted in the US election thread. Just own it dude. You'd be more truthful then. Also, fanboying for Vivek... cringe.

Ugh. Everything feels purposeless. Like I'm not doing anything meaningful in the world. What am I doing it all for? I really like my job. My profession interests me. I love my partner. She's the greatest girlfriend ever. I like the close people around me. And I like myself quite a bit. But I'm still feeling hollow. God fucking dammit! I literally don't know what to do with myself lately sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of shit to do. And I'm doing it step by step, although now I have less energy for these chores of life. But after I feel all is done I just don't know what to do. Introspection feels meaningless. Expression feels impossible. I'm having some god damn fucking blockage with my expressiveness, I feel like I don't wanna give to the world, I don't wanna share out, express. Ughhhhhhhh. FUCK!

Go for it. I work 100% remote, but I can go to the office whenever I want. Sometimes I do, especially when I’m feeling a bit drowsy/down but I really need to be focused. It’s def easier to be more concentrated at the office. Less distraction. But on slower days at work being at the office is needless and a waste of time to me. Remote work is definitely cool. I’m very grateful for it. But onsite work has its perks as well. You can more easily „close your workday” after you leave the office. You can meet with people. Free snacks/drinks if they have it. All that stuff.

Tried that with my cat, she just became annoyed with me.

@Davino Hey man, thanks so much for reaching out. A wave of nihilism washed over me for about a week but it's alright. I enjoy life and I really have some great people around me, especially my gf. Love to you as well! Maybe we'll talk again some other time when we're not both in a rush. 🤙

What?

Who's going to tell him?

At least I have some nice people around me. I wonder what would happen if I died. Like, I jump off of a bridge and what then? Would the change in state/reality feel better? Sigh. Fuck. The pointlessness is getting to me again.

I was on sick leave from work today and yesterday. Yesterday I laid in bed most of the day. Today I sprung into action with mostly doing household stuff. It's satisfying. It's really a shame a weekend isn't 3 days long instead of 2. I find from experience that the 3rd day is absolutely crucial for me to rest. It's so hard to rest in 2 days when there's a lot of stuff to do which you don't have time for during workdays. Might sound entitled and shit but I really wish we had a 4-day workweek. That doesn't matter if I don't plan to work for a corporation in the future, but at least for the moment, and for other people... that'd be nice. If I could, I would most likely even opt in to a 4-day 10h workweek.

Btw, look up what this channel is posting. This is some awful right-wing propaganda. There is no law in Poland allowing for shooting of illegal migrants.

Poland does not "shoot down immigrants on sight". This is a stupid exaggeration.

Cool shit I found on Pinterest - part 2.

Awesome! Welcome aboard

I'll let Leo speak about any details, if he deems appropriate.

Thanks a lot!

Screenshot of my conversation with ChatGPT. The last line legit broke me 😭

I love my partner. I really do. We just had an anniversary together. How nice. I like my job. I don't earn that much but it's good enough. I have such a nice flat. My partner makes such great food. There are friendly faces orbiting me. I had a cat once. Life is good. I'm a bit tired, but it's good. I wouldn't trade it for any other. ... It's going to be interesting to die though. It'll happen soon, right? Things will change. I won't be the same. It's a bit sad, but is it really? Maybe I'll be okay with it just before it happens. Maybe I'll embrace the change. But for now my heart is breaking thinking about it. I love you so much... I don't want to let go.

Great picks! I also agree with the suggestion of @Emerald (if she is willing), more feminine perspective within the Mod team would be nice.

Just an fyi, it's there in The Guidelines. Thanks for altering the title.

I will embrace the bugs. I think this is the future.

I think it's not so much about liking, but about similarity in worldview and goals. Example with Leo. An avid pursuer of truth is more likely to see Leo as a genius, whereas a person with entirely different priorities would more likely see him as a madman (eg. when hearing about Leo doing 5-MeO for 30 days). A typical person will consider someone who goes to the mountains to meditate for a year a madman. A more conscious person could more likely consider them as a genius. In science/art I think your point is more valid. Maybe you were only talking about "intellectual genius", I dunno.

No, it would not be "cool".

@Leo Gura Like the title says. Not sure if you forgot about this. 🙏

Things I was obsessed about at some point, more or less in chronological order Specific children books I wanted my mom to read to me as a child (literally dozens of times) Washing machines Birds Hot Wheels Harry Potter Club Penguin CS:GO Team Fortress 2 Other games but less so, eg. Minecraft, Hollow Knight Certain people, crushes Movies Self-help, growth, productivity Actualized.org Knowledge management Spirituality, understanding reality I just watched this video and now I wonder if I'm autistic.
