this is gonna sound crazy but were i to enter a monastic life the last thing i'd want is to be around a homogenous group of computer touchers then again as long as we never talk about it outside of practical necessity that's probably fine remember: 'right speech' means never talking about bitcoins or teslas

big mood there buddy lemme just drop here that i'm now a big fan of terragrunt when it comes to dealing with terraform. never give a poo poo about state again. i have been busily automating the pain points of terraform away so that i can maybe live the dream and ~only~ work 40 hours after childproofing the playpen.

okay because i also actually care about this conversation enough to chime in again there is legitimacy in saying that sometimes the disgruntled computer touchers' local #46290 can lean on black humor and, yep, substances past a point of usefulness. if nothing else, even if that sounds too forceful, it's at least worth keeping in mind as a counterpoint. that said, lordy i do like those rough chuckles myself much of the time. personally i was having a rough night of being too socially overstimulated, had the strong urge to go grab a drink on my way home, and settled on realizing that i'll be in worse shape to deal with these kinds of feelings tomorrow if i stretch out the 'welp guess i'd better try to blot this out' impulse. it's not every time, but it is really, really good to have a voice back there asking yourself seriously whether or not some behavior is /actually/ useful towards the goal of, like, feeling better. i also absolutely feel that this 'industry' and/or interest group suffers from a weird despair that manifests in all kinds of ways and that, despite often providing folks with the means, can also provide enough enablement to discourage addressing mental health when it's most timely (and part of that for sure comes from folks getting into self-medicating routines- regardless of actual utility, there is a perceived utility, which is why folks do it in the first place. no judgment, it's just a shame that it's usually by far perceived as the most convenient option- probably as a result of us culturally not having been prepped with many others.) also when it comes to DIY mental health stuff, folks may find jon kabat zinn's books useful. pretty nice no-bullshit buddhism-flavored CBT. no, not that CBT, the other one.

i don't think folks are so much concerned about 'vices' themselves as with how super prevalent/accepted some are as a matter of course tbh i'm kinda dismayed that, now that i'm working in an office again, everybody chugs red bull and other stimulant-laden stuff all day long- and the employer loves making it available because it benefits them. thanks but i'll walk a few blocks and get some coffee and interact with bean-touchers instead.

lancemantis posted:Well, as long as you’re still employed Even then, it's not like you can really count on that lasting. The idea of long-term planning has been taken out back and shot by boomers. Not that it was much more than a fantasy for the privileged, anyway. Hooray. Otherwise, I'd be really tempted to do the hairy mountain man thing, but I'd be worried about stranding myself in a situation that would be hard to get out of if (when?) things get Really Bad.
