Sometimes

My partner and I struggled with whether it was moral to have kids considering the future that we’re facing. But I guess emotion won out over logic. I wouldn’t judge anyone for not having kids, but I love mine more than I thought I could love anyone or anything.

Music: Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Dropkick Murphys, The Mountain Goats

TV: Firefly (feels kind of politically confused but that feels pretty accurate anyway.),

I unironically love the description of one of the most successful and influential works of art ever created as a musical you once saw because your friend was in it. That’s as working class as it gets.

A local type of yam that tastes like a cross between a carrot and a potato.

Everything becomes more expensive once a market for it is created. Meanwhile local foods like murnong and kangaroo apples are free in Australia.

I use an RSS app called Feeder, and Lemmy. I find I go back to The Conversation a lot as I find it covers topics in a calm tone of voice and with a level of academic rigor that I appreciate.

We were just getting into it when we had someone collapse on the footpath outside our house, he was unable to walk and was calling for help. We had to go perform first aid and call an ambulance. Didn’t feel like fucking after that.

Tape is rad for long term storage

Paying more for good quality tools to fix things properly can seem like a luxury initially, but they’re worth it when you’re 10 years down the line and still able to use the same set as if they were brand new.

Well done. That’s a decent effort. I can’t imagine being so motivated when I was that age.

This was years ago. But I’ve never been much into the bars and clubs scene. I remember at the time just feeling isolated and alone. I didn’t like spending 8-12 hours every day without any connection to anyone. Along with an extremely high pressure work environment, I was breaking down into tears on my way home most days.

I did it to myself so I was able to open up and find ways to connect to the people around me once I changed my attitude.

I also found some solidarity. It started as just a few complaints about how things were run but eventually I joined the union who helped me recoup a bunch of stolen wages.

Really insightful comment. I did not understand OPs perspective at all but it feels like you’ve hit the nail on the head.

When I first joined the work force I had this idea that ‘I was there to do a job not make friends.’ but that attitude made me miserable

Perhaps if you are able, consider volunteering? It feels a lot better than anything you can consume and helps build a routine with clear purpose that can help some people with anxiety.

What a fucking whinge

What do we owe to each other? For coexistence without inherent meaning in an afterlife, is the only source of moral good the social contract that we’ve made with each other to coexist peacefully? What are the bounds of that contract? What are the terms of our coexistence?

That’s awesome. I had no idea.

This feels pretty niche…
