read zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance and you’ll realize that no one has a “rational” basis for their views. it’s always ultimately based on feelings no matter how you disguise it with facts and logic

in what way? I’m not sure I understand

yeah but what if you’re wrong? it’s not like it would hurt to apply anyways

excellent choice :)

just because you were that person doesn’t mean you are now. the advice still holds

maybe figuring out how to enjoy whatever is going on is more important than speeding through it to the next thing and the next and the next

I mean it’s the only one that explains why we actually do anything at all

someone forgot they’re standing on the shoulders of giants

now is that kinematic or dynamic viscosity?

and that it takes way longer to work than the movies would have you think

really the impossibility level depends on how much you care about what other people think of you

to be honest Judaism isn’t particularly organized either. there is no central authority past each synagogue’s own rabbi and even then their “authority” is rather limited

I fear this is happening to every industry

one fluid ounce of water is one (weight) ounce of water

that’s not the point being made

but in the long term there’s always a swing back the other way

solidarity means solidarity. other working class people are not your enemy (re: 1984). the all or nothing mindset accomplishes nothing besides closing your mind off to the plights and perspectives of others.

it’s been long enough that minimum wage should be $25/hr anyways

drop the “today” and it’s still a true statement
