I was just highlighting the juxtaposition in length and depth between the two comments by dropping a dumb meme one level deeper. I get that might come across as not taking this seriously, and I do apologise for that. 🙇🏼♂️
I genuinely value your post. It makes sense, and it fills me with dread precisely because I don't see this changing quickly for the better. I do hope empathy and basic human decency prevail in the long run.
Absurdist humour is one of my coping mechanisms for exactly these kinds of topics, not a way to dodge them. This particular attempt may have overshot that mark a bit though.
I would feel pretty blue about it myself if such a thing came barreling toward me.
Also, I can imagine I'd lack the spine afterwards to deal with any psychological trauma it causes.
For those that have the same issue of the video not playing, try saying "pwease pway 👉🏼👈🏼" at your screen right at the second you click the video preview. 👍🏼
I absolutely hate wired headphones. It always get tangled, breaks or otherwise gets fucked up.
I now have an Audeze Maxwell headphone and as a backup to their dongle, The LDAC bluetoooth codec combined with Qobuz Hifi sound is perfect for me.
Never missed the 3,5mm port.
The only thing in not loving is the planned obsolecense of most battery Bluetooth headsets.
(I do recognise and respect others for wanting the 3,5mm port, of course. To each their own preferred way of strangling themselves when listening to audio I guess)
Yeah that makes sense of course. You are definitely not the only one. Sounds like you know your limits!
In the end, and in my personal belief, we're all one big community and we have a chance to uplift each other (I know, I know, utopian fantasy much?).
It should not be a competition, but a synergy.
In my book, it's the effort that counts, not the hours.
I make my bed because my cats will absolutely shed all their hairs on my side of the bed that one time I forgot to do it.
Slightly allergic, so I learned fast lol.
Holy shit this is gold 🤣
This made my week. Live. Laugh. Shitpost. 🙏🏼

'Red Flags - Tom Cardy' seems fitting here as the store ambient music.

I can relate to your dad.

Perfect timing.. just read this pretty rough article myself yesterday:

This just makes me so sad. Imagine your abusers staying in power and being the most influential persons in the world. Just makes me wanna burn it all.
Or maybe the Nocebo effect instead? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocebo
Literally came here to comment this lol

Blindsighted by Peter Watts right? Incredible story. Can recommend.

Thank you for sharing that. I think that passionate teachers are the cornerstone of a good society and healthy community!
That made me think about the Finnish model. I think they are doing this somewhat right. A masters degree is a minimal requirement for teaching at all levels except very early education.
If anybody from Finland reading this could share their thoughts on this that would be amazing. In not from Finland myself.

I honestly don't mind working a lot, as long as it benefits EVERYBODY and not just a handful of hoarders. I love improving things for others.
I'm trialling this now. Looks promising, EU-based and no shady investors for as far as I can tell. Good sound quality too.
Lol. Thank you for your magical weirdness, kind stranger!
