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

But there is so much to do that isn't work

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

There are 2080 hours of work in a year, if you work 40 hours a week. Can you list fill 60K hours?

yes

Easily

Yes

If you expanded time somehow to quadruple that, I could still fill that

I could perhaps fill infinite time, although that might be harder

I agree that some of us might be able to, but the Everyman probably can't.

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

From my perspective, I can

fucking enter

I can

FUCK

I also can

Enter

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

I could probably be fine going back to part time work if I had the money to do it.

I don't think I'd be restless or anything.

Nothing was just too little for me, personally.

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)

I also think time is like money. Some people genuinely understand how much is on their docket or how much they earn/spend. Some people don't and just assume they don't have enough.

Had a conversation with a coworker about that once, he wished his role paid more and when I asked how much he would like to be at his figure was... literally what he was being paid.

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

+respect

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

As DSP, I shit you not, once said "Some things are more important than money, real talk."

hey Pika

Spooky what the fuck why did you link this to me

goon moment

I gooned, ty

Rob too hot in that

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 left him a comment

Coe's comment is also quite sad in that same way

I don't think it's sad, just feels more like an update video. Lots of interesting things and seems like Pyro is learning life and finding what he likes!

This is not the one from Robs server, but how the fuck did I find another bunny pronoun person
