Why this comment didn't get more upvotes is a mystery to me, can you please share more?
If you are comfortable with it, tell us what kind of work you are involved in and if you are not, please talk more about what else you learned.
i.e., If you didn't find any “to my family, I am sorry but I was not productive every day and I wasted lots of time”, what did you find?
Also, any learnings you have had from those? God, I would read if you wrote a post about it! So, please do speak!
And spite. Never let go of the spite that makes you outlive the assholes
Please explain that a lil more.
FWIW you mold your life with a “goal” in mind, and along the way improvise when shit comes at you.
You see, I had this goal for which I was ready to sacrifice a lot, but turns out I would almost certainly fail if I pursue it and even if I achieve that goal, it ain't paying my bills! A lose-lose! After I realized that I gave up on it and along with it everything I knew about myself.
I don't know what I am doing atm, I am just wandering around thinking, if I know enough maybe I will get to know what will make me happy and then I can pursue it. i.e., No use sitting at home thinking about it and having an existential crisis.
I don't hold any answers but if you're reading this comment, I want to know how you take into consideration that if they are asking for money, that money can easily be used for drugs/opioids/other stuff which will hurt them.
i.e., Do you give them money or do you give them food, a bottle of water or stuff like that?
I understand, thanks for differentiating between the ugly stuff (drugs, wanking off...) and the stuff we need.
PS: I am talking mainly about getting rid of Phone addiction, netflix addiction and stuff like that, so these are net negatives if you overdo it and if you can't control yourself, which I can't do most times, they become really addictive.
That's pretty good!
Damn! I will read them when I am really happy about something
I guess this comment makes more sense now, you are right, it's probably not useful to read these messages. But, a counterpoint could be people who are in a really bad situation and are in that space make bad decisions.
i.e., It depends very much on how the person perceives the situation. I have heard of 16-year-olds offing themselves because of something really stupid, so maybe if we read suicide notes which are so obviously wrong in their approach, maybe that will help people realize that even though you think there is no way, there probably is one.
Also, I am not sure how often this is true. I don't want to shit on people who have offed themselves by suggesting there were all dumb or something, I am pretty sure they had legit reasons most of the times. idk!
Productivity is completely unrelated to success IMO.
I am sorry, but I feel like we're getting stuck on words here. You know what I mean by success, don't you?
At least for me it does, I have not achieved certain things I wanted because of lack of self-discipline and then lack of productivity. So it's real to me. But if one accepts the puddle they are in (not judging), maybe then productivity won't matter. i.e., You have to become a Jain or something (again, not judging, they probably will stay happier than me). edit: Your second point explains more, but productivity will make me happy, I know it. So, this discussion is rendered moot for me.
even though i might
This is embarrassing, I hate it when people don't capitalize their 'i's :')
And I thought I was the cynic!
“Will power” is not a thing.
When Free Will is not a thing, "Will power" is a joke, but we have a very strong illusion of free will and I live my life like I have free will because "I feel like it" and there is more utility on this side of the aisle.
The “American dream” really is not accessable to everyone how it’s traditionally laid out.
I love America as an Indian, the First and the Second Amendments, the separation of church and state, the spirit of Innovation and Science, the rebel spirit, the history (except some things of c) and the whole shebang! Gimme, some of that, please!
I know the "American dream" isn't really accessible if you're really downtrodden, but it's a hell of a deal from where I stand. A friend of mine had something witty to say about " the Indian dream", when I asked him about it, he said "The Indian dream is to live the American Dream" lol!
They stare and get too close and touch you all the time. I kept having people touch my shoulders and try and touch my face when I was in public or queuing
This is more of a culture thing, I used to do it a lot when I was younger (it's considered friendly)
Thanks for the downvotes. I need to search questions for an exam I have and I can't do that any other way. It helps me better search the net. I am sorry, it's good. I wish there was a FOSS alternative for it which does as good a job. So, here's how you use Bing Chat on Firefox https://pureinfotech.com/access-bing-chat-ai-chrome-firefox/#bing_chat_firefox
It was working until yesterday but it isn't now. It was a really nice tool to get better searches from the internet without doing it yourself. Now, I want to know if I am doing something wrong or if MS is shutting off Bing Chat for the infidels who don't use the holy edge browser. I remember this happening when MS first released Bing Chat. They probably let users use it on other browsers for a little while to make sure they become dependent on it.
I mean, we can modify firefox settings and make your browser look like edge, but I very vividly remember regret doing this because I faced a problem asap which was resolved by turning firefox settings back to normal (that one particular setting)
I connected my phone to my laptop and turned on USB tethering and removed all my sims from my phone, but it was still showing upload and download values and some torrents were downloading and uploading. How is this possible if I have 0 internet? I mean, my phone wasn't connected to wifi and my laptop was still getting internet. Somewhat weird I think? What are the possible explanations here?
If there are no possible explanations, can I declare this a miracle and myself GOD!? :)

PS: I also have an account on sh.itjust.works and this shit just works over there.
As an Indian, I would like to congratulate everyone here, you tax returns are here, but there is a spelling mistake in your name and it would take $5000 to correct it, please call 1800420SCAM to get your refund.
bad jokes aside, these are the scum of the country and I am sorry for this shit.
But I say to myself, if I ever give a little, it's not gonna have much material impact on their life. i.e., I am not easing their misery for more than an hour! Also, there are many of them, how will I choose whom to give and whom not to? edit: But it's gonna take away stuff from me, I don't spend a rupee when I don't have to.
Is give when you feel like it and when you can (I think you would say yes to this) a good idea?
