Jesus Christ that’s such a crazy waste of water

Sounds like a skill issue

This is such a basic ass answer, but my recommendation would be to unplug, go outside, and read philosophy. Read Camus, read Sartre. Read existentialists in general. They talk about these things and come to interesting conclusions. Life is absurd. And it’s even more absurd than it’s ever been. The answer to that absurdity lies in your own personal meaning. Because life goes on whether you languish in it or attempt to find beauty in the monotony.

Another basic ass answer: It’s capitalism. Capitalism stole the meaning from your life to create profit for shareholders. It took the meaning from your life by telling you what job you have determines what you are. How long were we conditioned to attach our value as people to “what we want to be when we grow up.” Life feels meaningless because that deep conditioning is completely at odds with how we actually feel as people.

Another way you can start finding meaning is to find meaning in fighting against that. Find a job that you can ignore so you can live your life when you’re not working. Especially in the US we live to work. That creates this dissonance inside you because that’s fucking absurd. But it’s the kind of absurdity that should breed anger and resentment at the system, and those feelings should get translated into righteous action against these systems of exploitation and control. Find joy and immediacy in sabotaging ads conditioned to make us feel inferior. In doing anything that gives the finger to these twisted injustices.

There are a lot of ways to buck this feeling of joyless monotony. And the best way is to try to create something better, for yourself and for others. We are pushed to waste our “free” time consuming and producing. We are pushed to turn our hobbies and creativity into a “hustle.” Start revolting against these ideas in your everyday life and I think you will start to find a lot more meaning and joy. It’s scary, but a placid safety will while away your life and leave you feeling empty. Dangerous freedom will make you finally feel alive.

Netflix makes games? Lol

Not to mention, the political rhetoric for at least 10 years has been very much “things are falling apart!” I mean, fear has been the greatest motivator for voters for a long time. It’s a weapon used against you to keep you obedient and scared.

Now, does that mean things aren’t going wrong? Of course not. But that feeling is very much fostered by the people with money because it’s useful to them. Add to that, the growing number of non-money people sounding the alarm over things like climate change and late stage capitalism.

But if it helps, think of it this way: the money people don’t actually want things turned upside down. Because that disrupts their money. And the timeline for events like climate change are longer than “any day now.” So, something to think about.

Well, my favorites have been the sennheiser momentum (currently have the TW4). I’ve gone through a few and splurged on the A-T, but for sound quality, comfort, and noise cancellation, I haven’t found any better than the Sennhesier momentum.

The one downside is the case and the buds themselves are a little bulkier because they’re one solid shape as opposed to the little stem coming out from the bottom like the AirPod. So everything is self contained in one squarish-roundish shape. They’ve gotten smaller since the older 2’s that I had, but still a little bigger than the design style with the stem.

A big part for me is privacy, and I think sennheiser are the best for that too. That I’ve been able to find, anyway.

Damn, see I loved A-T but then I got their earbuds and was supremely disappointed.

I gotta say, as a long time android user, when I had to start relying on my phone for work, I was forced to switch to Apple and it’s just a better build. The hardware quality is much better and you can feel it.

Most drinks will stand up anywhere you put them

If that’s what you consider useful curiosity…then im the one worried for “average” people

Woah man you’re, like, blowing my mind here

…how do you know what earwax tastes like

Dude my van has been breaking a ton of websites lately. I had to turn it off to check the tracking on a package from USPS yesterday. Any time a website is sending me to a broken page, I turn off my vpn and it works immediately.

I was going to ask because I’m somewhat new to vpns, but I just assumed it was one hassle for privacy. Is this a new occurrence?

I was born in a super duper small town in Pennsylvania. I’ve met so many people from PA that don’t even know the town exists.

When I was living in Europe, I was at a house party and I was talking to this girl who did an exchange program. Guess where she did her semester? That super small town no one has ever heard of. She even knew a few people I grew up with.

Another time, I was walking in a random Spanish town with some random person, and who do I see walk by but some kid I went to high school with. We just sort of pointed at each other, confused, laughed and both kept walking past.

I love shit like that

Yeah, now all of the reviews are bought and paid for anyway. So it’s not even good for that anymore. I really wish people could put in literally the smallest amount of effort to change bad habits. It’s crazy that people just seem addicted to it

I don’t understand why people just can’t stop buying shit form Amazon. At some point a few years back, I had had enough. I stopped buying stuff from Amazon. I…didn’t think it was that hard. If anything, I’ll browse Amazon for something vague I’m looking for, find it, search the company names and buy it direct.

I mean, I know everyone says it’s impossible for phones to be listening, but I feel like there are just too many examples for that to be the case. My friend was looking for something for our other friends birthday. Her husband suggested opening instagram and talking about the thing she was looking for, describing the specific jacket, saying the company started with an “A.” Minutes later, she got the ad for the jacket she was looking for.

When I was driving with some people from work, we were talking about daddy Yankee, and his song “gasolina.” We were using maps to navigate home from an away job. On our route, suddenly there were multiple waypoints suggested on our map, “estaciones de gasolina.” We were speaking English, the person whose phone it was doesn’t speak Spanish.

If they’re not listening, how could these things be possible?

You should try the second. It’s an excellent game, and you can very much get by without having played the first. Just read a synopsis of the first and you’re good to go.

100%.

All of our time should be “us” time. If you enjoy watching YT videos, great. You can learn a lot, you can laugh a lot, or you can just relax. All of this is fine.

Work steals much more of our life and pays us in fuckin pennies. And exploitation.

B-b-but EA messed with my vidya games!

lol you’re undoubtedly right. I just wanna play some damn soccer video game
