Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 what do you mean "fill", idk why people should need to be babysat by an employer on the offchance they might get bored
Being bored and life being pointless aren't the same thing.

see, that I can agree with more
from the vantage of thinking people should be productive in life
I don't fully agree, but I can understand it
I think Spooky for sure and me to a lesser extent have a hard time agreeing because both of us for sure have the thought "I do not have enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do"
If I had more free time, I already know what thing I would fill it with, and I don't even work, its just PhD studies
I think there is a subset of humaity (probably 40-60%) who legitimately need to have thier lives structured for them or they cannot function
I also think there's peace to be found in accepting that your life is small, that you don't have to make contributions on which the world turns
A lot of people rush to whatever the biggest city they can, and work their way up come cooperate ladder trying to attain importance or influence
and define their life by whether they are able to have a lasting impact or reach some threshold by which they've "made it"
I think the problem with this discussion is I think for the most part most of the people in this server are not good examples of "the average person" in the sense that we are all fucking weird and strange in different ways
Easily
If you expanded time somehow to quadruple that, I could still fill that
I could perhaps fill infinite time, although that might be harder
yeah I agree
I don't feel stressed by the idea that a week could go by where I was "non-productive"
Nor do I think I'm the kind of person who lacks the ability to find or think of interesting things to do
like I said, most people need their lived to be externally structured to function
and historically, average people have been fine at that 2nd part, and worse at that 1st part
Unrelated, but why has Rob chat become debate/discussion chat
but the last 20-30 years, I think have bred people who have that flipped, and the 2nd part is far harder for them
tf2 is not a hero shooter btw
lol Pika
Replying to mtcdood #mtcdood I agree that some of us might be able to, but the Everyman probably can't.
From my perspective, I can
fucking enter
I can
FUCK
I can't even use one lifetime to learn all the math I want to learn, let alone also do my hobbies
I also think you can have a more healthy balance than 40-hours/week
even if you're someone who needs structure
40 hours isn't some perfect number or anything, it was itself fairly arbitrary
yeah, I really meant it when I said I can understand that perspective
even if it's the complete opposite of how I feel (at least right now)
my circle of coworkers have a bit of the opposite problem, and don't value their time effectively
where they will do anything for extra money, beyond what is reasonable
One of my engineers spent the better part of 10 hours fighting for a $0.18 pay differential bump for a couple weeks
One of the other ones that bugs me is, the way we do awards you can take X hours of leave or a small cash bonus
and they're never even sort of equivalent
it'll be 20 hours of leave vs $100
or something equally insane
and some people will actually take the money
Spooky what the fuck why did you link this to me
goon moment
I could tell you'd goon
context is the woman on-stream rn is wearing overalls
Watching the pyro video now. Its kind of sad the way he treated his life. He talked about how he decided to be 100% productive and stopped playing games for like 4 years and only came back to them recently. Also his "I want to retire thing" was moreso him wanting to be able to go part time only so he could just do 4 day work weeks
I was going to probably listen to it while I did nightreign runs, but I'm pretty sure it will make me sad
Its just him answering questions people sent him after the last video
A lot of it is him answering "I have not talked to this person in 4-5 years"
Coe's comment is also quite sad in that same way
