Maybe bring a book? Why not save gaming for when you can actually do it well, not on a tiny screen at sub-60fps?

I guess I’m the only one in this thread that does other things when I’ve got down time away from the computer. When I want to play a video game, I don’t want to play a shittier version of it.

So glad I have a computer I can play games on so I don’t have to mess around with a smaller computer with a smaller screen and worse performance.

Edit: I pissed off the dad caucus with this comment. Steam decks are only for dads who can’t get more than thirty minutes of game time anymore and have no space for a legit gaming PC.

Whoa TIL I’m a slut

Only three jobs?

Yeah, Hawaii is huge and Idaho is way smaller than it actually is, despite it being right behind Hawaii, alphabetically.

To be clear, the vast majority of academic philosophers (at least in the Anglophone world) find Freud to be useless pseudoscience. Freud gets taken seriously in literary analysis and continental philosophy. The latter is a minority position (although drawing a hard and fast line between “analytic” and “continental” philosophy is pretty difficult these days).

When I was getting my PhD in philosophy, I would have been laughed out of the room if I wrote a term paper that used Freud in any significant way.

But in the US way, you’re only one floor from the ground on the first floor. 0 isn’t a floor, it’s literally the ground we put the first floor on.

Just a few more months and I’ll only have one and all my debt will be paid off. There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Yeah I work four part time jobs. I’m working every single day. It is a real bummer.

Me after working every day for four months straight. 😑

Man, where do you live where unemployment is nearly a year at 80% of your salary? When I was unemployed here in Washington, it was six months and more like 50% of my salary. And from what I understand, Washington is a lot more generous than most states.

Lots of good reasons why someone might end up in debt. I got divorced and laid off. Dog needed $2k surgery to not have a terrible quality of life. Got a terrible staph infection on my chest after losing health insurance. This all happened in a four month period. I moved to a cheaper apartment, cut off any subscription aside from internet, which I need for two of my four jobs, got a cheaper phone plan, and mostly ate rice and beans every day. Still, it’s taken a year just to get back to zero.

It’s remarkable how this is basically exactly where I’m at, too. I’m two months of salary away from zero.

I can’t see this image and not hear the warping audio distortion growing more intense by the millisecond.

It’s not ethically okay to ignore it, but you’re also not morally obligated to solve it, only to do your part!

According to philsurvey, 80% of academic philosophers in the anglophone world are. About ten percent are agnostic and ten percent are theists.

As somebody that spent three years trying to get a job as a tenure track philosophy professor, this is very accurate.

I have some bad news to tell you about capitalism

You can soften “a black” or “a Chinese” entirely by adding “person” to the end of it. English is weird.
