Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I feel like violated when Windows just go, update and restart by itself when Im away.

Thats so sneaky...

my solution for that is to leave game mode on and have one always up in the foreground, then just turn the monitor off.

Ive been watching videos reviewing many complex stories.

Seems like most "complex" story nowadays involves a daughter having to deal with a father that either molest or have molested the daughter in her younger years.

Idk, Im slowing becoming desensitivized by this, if every single story portrait that situation...

Soon the algorithm is gonna stop recommending things to you and just show you this

At the moment, I’m thinking a lot about work-related things, a lot of pressure there, experienced. I’ve played very little lately, FFXI, I’m wondering if I should completely quit my nursing job, I’ve experienced so much crap. I’m on partial disability pension, so I only work 50% of the time, financially I’d manage even without work, I don’t know what I’d do. I like my job and I like the clients, but the work community is awful. Well, yeah, these are the kinds of things I’m thinking about."

I was always someone who really despise comunist ideas, but over time, I started to understand few conceptsand actually agree with some of them.

One of them was the notion that "work" is something degradating. For the most of my live I endorsed the "standard" way of life, having a family, having a job that you would perform your entire productive life there, retire when very old and live with your savings.

Nowadays though the concept of "working your entire productive life in a single place" was already demolished. You work where you pay more, companies dont see you as a "part", but as a pawn.

Also, in practice, when you accept your salary, you are not only selling your service. You are also selling your allegiance toward one of a couple of bosses, because you also need to hear and obey many of someones commmands.

Having that for like 15 years (my current productive life), I kinda see the point of thinking this kind of thing as degradating: without a salary, you wouldnt ever need to obey to someone you have no relationship outside company. Your boss is on your very same level outside company. Still, when you step inside your job, your need to give up many of your own positions to become a "vassal" of someone strictly for money.

Also, maybe you could use your productive life to genereta mode knowledge, you create more useful things, to be more independant both in body and spirit.

So, nowaday I do agree working is a bad concept. It is not different of prostitution, and anyone can understand how degratating its . You are not selling your body, but selling your freedom, your capacity, your potential.

All that to say, yeah, if I had the chance to keep my current expenses for my entire life without working, I would surely retire asap. Im not one of those who feel empty if not working. I would just work something I really feel like, none would be bpssing around me, and my produtions would be entirely managed by me.

That is one part of freedom I still want to restore for me.

You already have the freedom to make that choice, and you don't need to retire to start a business. So what's stopping you?

Life is not that easy, kiddo

You didn't answer the question!

(It's okay, you don't have to answer if you don't feel like it.)

Life is not that easy, stinking kiddo

Hey, that's not nice....for a light-aligned.

started a Dragon Quest 8 playthrough, somehow never managed to beat it as a kid. pretty cool how good you can make ps2 games look these days.

I played that one long ago.

Last year I also tried to pick again Dragon Quest 6, but damn... I wasnt aware how much repulse I have for turn based combat.

Its almost like physical rejection. Its not like I get bored. Its more like my body forces me in toa hard sleep mode just for entering those fights.

man i quit the game sold my acc too now i am having ffxi itch after waching 1 stream thankfully i had an alt bard acc with all 3 instruments lol just reactivated lawl

I dont watch movies, but i enjoy watching videos that analyze them.

Yesterday I watched a couple discussing “No country for old man”.

This was highly praised, despite the review of the story per se being relatively simple: just a guy trying to ran away with some found money.

But most of its praise was due the bad guy Anton Chigurh. People were discussing who exotic and unique he was. Not a person but a force of nature.

Idk, I can definitely see the selling point of him, but I also think the biggest characteristic of him was his unique design. Definitively I never saw a dangerous and complex guy using that haircut. Its like a contrast: such cruelty, such violence hidden behind such “harmless” haircut.

Im sure Chigurh would lose like 50% of his appeal if he was sinple bald

It would take away something if he was just a generic bald assassin. Like put "Hitman" in that role it becomes super formulaic.

I can't ever imagine selling an account you put 10+ years into, dunno how people can do that, especially not for a few k. That's like selling your cat or something.


He is a psychopath character and we live in the most soft modern times in history, pretty much every movie now is made for pu**ies. Showing a character that is a stone cold monster is fascinating to people. He kills strangers, kills people over a flip of a coin and kills women.

It's not much different than documentaries about serial killers that women in particular seem fascinated in, they aren't special or strong individuals usually. They are just people who see no value in human life or empathy.

The movie wasn't that good tbh, but he was a decent badguy. The weapons he uses makes him more unique too, the cattle bolt gun thing and the heavy suppressed gun.

Why the *** do banks insist on making ***so god damn difficult. (I know why)

Go on the website. Log in. Check balance. No problem.
Go on the website. Answer security questions. Log in.
Go on the website. Answer security questions. Verify text code.
Go on the website. Answer security questions. Verify text code. Complete Enhanced ID verification.

They just keep adding more *** irritations. The automated system is no longer allowed to give balances. And there's a call queue of 40 *** people to get a human. And the closest building is on the other side of current construction that has a 3 mile detour. And it's 25f outside and I don't want to leave the house anyway!

After a long road, finally I completed my first course of Angular. I still want to read one book of it before feeling like on a good level to use it profissionally, but the next course on my list is the UX from Coursera.

This one particular is urgent, as this one cost money for every month Im not completing it. I subscribed to that course back in octomber/november, but have not been serious in studying it.

Now is the time to finish UX and save a couple of dollars monthly.

Not just banks, damn near everyone has 2FA now. Gotta love waiting 20 seconds for google authenticator to pull a new code because it doesn't update in the background or force an update when opened.

I got like 10 different banks on my phone and 9/10 just let me face ID when I click the app and fully login with no clicks or anything.

Laptop/desktop stuff is like 5/10 bank sites annoying for sure. But I gladly stick to the authenticator apps now because I used to just let them text me a code and it meant I was forced to go into the office the single day my cell provider died in the last 4 years and microsoft tried to text me a code to sign into my work account, and if I had the authenticator app loaded on my phone instead it could have been avoided.

Total agreement. I haven't played XI in over 10 years yet if I could sell my account for what it would have been worth at XI's peak I still never would.

What do you do when you lose your phone with 2FA?

On selling accounts, I've done it many times, no reason to get attached to something that isn't really yours anyway. 99% of it is replaceable.

@kaffy

the microsoft authenticator app my healthcare workplace forces on us is just an app, not tied to any one device. so losing a phone or not having cell signal doesn't mean much.

It's that my bank makes me, 2FA AND do security question AND have photo ID AND still login after.

Like, pick one. Next month they'll require blood and stool.

Just get the implant ahead of everyone else like all those sci-fi movies anticipate.

Then the session times out and you have to start over. lol

Best to not get too attached to things man, objects will always come and go. I'm not saying you need to go buddist but watch those potentially unhealthy degree of attachments to possessions closely; Last thing you need is extra stress from that form.
