no, see... like... getting to "fuck off" more and being less "accountable" is only of benefit to you.

unless you're doing revolutionary work or feeding/housing the hungry/unhoused, why would you want to work 8 straight? why would you want to be away from home? why in the heck would you want be more productive?

your difficulty focusing when you're at home is your body telling you to purge your

comedy truly is subjective huh? i don't get it either. "random" humor and bit accts just make me sigh (/u/Civility excepted ofc).

congrats, falling asleep without the help is the hardest part to get over (for me), keep it up! there's some difficulty humps to get over, it doesn't necessarily feel like a straight difficulty-downtrend... but it is only gonna get better! good work!

so cheesy as ît sounds: just do it for yourself. this life is an awful slog when we live it for the man, monetizin every skill. if you wanna learn something interesting, just... learn something interesting. leave whether it's gonna feed you or is the equation. may sound naivé... but if as you say, that calculation is impossible? maybe it's not.

just think of what skillsets youd like completed future you to have. then work towards that person, flipping off the haters along your path

no you're right.... it's not an exaggeration. even when the election ends both parties are always campaigning/fundraising.

never governing

i drank a can of coconut bubbly water thank you for reminding me

did you know you can type a colon followed by your emoji of choice for a shorter list to search thru (if you have some idea of what it is)? for example :jack or :jerk would pull up your emoji

did you seperate them or are they in a box together?

i looked at your policy ideas and know exactly one millionaire who would fiercely reject your idea of a 35/hr min wage and rent cap. i live in a small town (smaller than Aspen, but not too far from it in setup or distance), and this particular millionaire gets "their" money through rental units and ownership of local businesses, the employees of which they'd be loathe to pay more per hour.

now i only know the one millionaire, and thru suffering their constant complaints about not having enough money (even as they are traipsing around the world more often than they are at home), know that convincing them to back this would definitely be a non-starter.

the other millionaires in this town i don't personally know, the small, non-billionaire rich in this decimated, hollowed-out town, i still know thru their political actions.

historically and recently, they are united in their will, using their political influence to reduce the will of the people who live here full-time, increasing their own power.

they use that power to make sure no popular will affects their business interests. they happily import kids from other countries to work (J1s) rather than provide places for people to live or a wage to live on. as a result, there are almost no services left. this does not trouble them, they can drive or fly, and many vote because they own a second or third home here. yeah, they forced that thru a long time ago.

while i agree that the system is stupid and they should definitely see that, so too are these indolent millionaires a deeply ignorant, deeply disconnected lot. they might not even be dumb, as tempting as it would be to claim they are...most of em don't even live here, they don't care. their concerns don't mirror ours and never will. if the town rotted to dust? they'd just move their assets elsewhere.

i just don't see it, friend.
