I’d rather they have a hand-washing policy that is not only ruthless but also ruthlessly enforced.
This works very very well for me as well.
Make sure every point you make is objectively sustainable and don’t deviate from the truth. People hate having rock-solid bullet-pointed lists describing why they’re idiots chucked at them.
It means she’s not poor.
Sounds like corpo speak for instagram thot.
Já pensaste em samsung? Tenho alguns familiares que usam os samsung A que andam por esses preços e parecem satisfeitos.
What’s wrong with being anti-billionaire?
If a dragon were hoarding all the gold in your village and leaving the villagers to get fucked, would you be pro-dragon?
(Yeah it’s a Terry Pratchett novel.)
De certo modo todos temos cavalo na corrida entre uma das maiores fontes de opressão cultural do mundo e o progresso.
As with all pricing: because they can.
These people read the cliffnotes and take everything at face value. Reasoning on material does not get you clicks.
Some of us embrace the meaninglessness.
Sure, one of these days I’m gonna kick it and within a generation, at best, no one will remember me.
And what’s wrong with that? I won’t know anyway.
So, if life is meaningless and nothing matters and we all die in the end, then why not make the most of it? If all I get are (let’s be honest) a good 60 years, then why not spend those around people I like, doing things I like, going places I like?
I’m obviously constrained by not being rich. But I found myself a job that pays well and doesn’t fuck me up too bad. I actually quite like it. I met some of my friends there, and I’m surrounded by smart, driven people, some of whom I actually look up to.
The other 16 hours of the day I spend doing things I find meaning in. Reading good books. Watching good shows. Spending time with my SO. Writing. Having drinks with friends. Lifting heavy things.
By default we have nothing at the start, and nothing again at the end. Why not enjoy the middle? Nothing needs to have any other meaning than “I like it”. Why not spend 3 hours washing the car? I like it. I like those 30 seconds when I’m done and it’s shiny as fuck. Why not spend 16 straight hours playing a new game with a couple of friends? I like it. Why not spend 10h a week in the gym getting way stronger than I’ll ever need to be? I like it.
I call this optimistic nihilism and I find it quite liberating.
