starting to think the secret to life is just tricking yourself into having a good time

“As a white-col­lar mil­len­ni­al, I’m sup­posed to be cheer­ing on the re­mote work rev­o­lu­tion. But I’ve re­al­ized that I can’t be my best, most hu­man self in sweat­pants, pre­tend­ing to pay at­ten­tion on video con­fer­ences be­tween trips to the fridge.”
—Kevin Roose, NYT

“Of­fice ban­ter, bad jokes, and even unc­tu­ous cor­po­rate talk in the hall­ways can be dis­missed as emp­ty blath­er. But Du­ane calls these things ‘the car­ri­er wave for psy­cho­log­i­cal safe­ty.’ Al­most every­thing that doesn’t feel like work at the of­fice is what makes the most cre­ative, most pro­duc­tive work at the of­fice possible.”
—Derek Thomp­son, The Atlantic

“Just had a 1.5 hr con­vo with my best friend about what a scam it was to in­doc­tri­nate mil­len­ni­als into find­ing mean­ing and pur­pose from our jobs while sur­viv­ing in a cap­i­tal­ist so­ci­ety with two eco­nom­ic recessions.”
—Bo Ren

 

So I’m glad to know it’s not re­al­ly on anybody’s agen­da to let the Amer­i­can peo­ple stay home.

Pay­ing peo­ple to stay home is not as good for cap­i­tal­ism as send­ing them to slaugh­ter. Wa­t­ev­er helps in­crease an imag­i­nary num­ber for a small hand­ful of psy­chopaths, right?

It’s not worth ex­am­in­ing, I’m sure.

But don’t we need some­one in gov­ern­ment to ac­tu­al­ly give a shit about wat hap­pens to us – not just set some rules and call it good?

Clear­ly, wat we do need go­ing for­ward is to crowd into MOR places but with masks on.

And to be clear,
I’m 100% on Team Wear Your Damn Mask, and I don’t per­son­al­ly know any­one who doesn’t,
but
     several
          of
               them
                    still
                         got
                              sick.

Also

I feel like the film in­dus­try is re­al­ly miss­ing out on an op­por­tu­ni­ty by not mak­ing a movie with a masked cast.

It could be so eas­i­ly dubbed into any language.
