A beyblade

As I’ve grown up and learned more about the world, I’ve learned that it’s not so much that no one knows what they’re doing, but more that most people don’t have clarity about why we do what we do. We’re disconnected from our work and we don’t receive it’s benefits personally. Instead we exchange it for currency, so we don’t know if we’ve “hit the mark” or not. Is my work accomplishing it’s intended purpose? Who the hell knows. I just try to do this thing and keep my boss/teacher happy. We live in a hyper real world where the appearance of accomplishment is a standin for the real thing, so it’s like we’re throwing darts blindfolded at a target. And don’t get me wrong, we might be doing everything correctly and benefiting the world, but at the end of the day what we see is not it’s benefits, but it’s supposed equivalent currency. We’re all going through the motions and just hoping it’s “right”, and that can feel indistinguishable from “I don’t know what I’m doing”

I’ve been meaning to start reading some Chomsky & Alfie Kohn! Both very revolutionary writers from the reviews I’ve been checking out

Honestly, not that great. In Ontario, health care has been heavily affected by Doug Ford’s Bill 124, which capped nurse’s wages at 1% a year for 3 years, causing horribly long wait times and understaffing at hospitals

Memmy has been my favorite, although I wish it would go back to having updates. I understand they’re taking a break though and I just need to be patient

Copper is such a perfect name

Cool app so far. Would it be possible to hide nsfw in search when the option for “hide everywhere” is enabled?

Fuck Isaac, honestly

I got recommended to read Thinking Fast and Slow on lemmy and I’ve been really enjoying it, much of it is about hidden assumptions and critical thinking

All I see is hunter2

I’m told I’m a talented public speaker and that I look calm on stage. Honestly I think I’m just better at hiding how nervous I am

This is how I feel when I’m at a get-together and slowly approach a group of people talking

What you think of others matters equally as much. Be a good person and be careful who you surround yourself with. Be descerning of different groups of people and their beliefs/values/culture. Being rejected by a group of bigots is a good thing, and you wouldn’t want to be embraced by them to begin with. There are countless historical examples of individuals led astray by group-think, so don’t be too concerned what multitudes think of you. It all depends on context, and wanting to be “rejection proof” might signal too much interest in one’s reputation, although I’m not accusing you of that.

I mentioned this in another thread but I think it’s regression to the mean

Regression to the mean?

Same with messaging app on iOS

That’s just the cigarette lighter. All cars used to have them. Kids these days…

Well for one, I wish I could tell people no when they ask me to social events without being interpreted as an asshole

Horns: loud, disruptive, rude, wake up bby, hey quiet down people are trying to read

Bell’s: polite, delicate, ring ring, refined, happen, excuse me please I am passing through thank you

Two birds with one stone
