Yeah, his hair isn't fucked up and over washed like yours.

Bro has hair? Must be nice.

Me neither before I start my day as a therapist at a hyperosmia treatment facility

Great, now instead of just anxiety and depression, I also have massive existential dread

[–] profdc9 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry, none of this will matter after the heat death of the universe.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

You won't matter long, long before that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

you know who else has that? most people around you

talk to others, recognize the difficulties you share, organize, and reclaim your rights.

I just cry at work to be efficient

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime That's why cry I on company time

Doesn’t matter cameraman never dies

can confirm, im in the pixel beside that (88.6 light years away from earth)

[–] Diplomjodler3 12 points 7 months ago

And don't forget that our galaxy is just a tiny tiny speck in the universe.

[–] Daft_ish 9 points 7 months ago

Great, thanks for telling the entire milky way galaxy!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I don’t have a job. Idk what am I doing with life tbh. I should be coding as I am naturally good at it and it’s fun but… procrastination

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Find something else to do and focus all that energy on that thing, you'll start to procrastinate and that's when you start coding.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

That’s relatable haha I wish it was that consistent. Deadlines make me do 3d modelling in blender maybe I need some 3d modelling deadline and then I will code for 10 hours in ecstasy then completely forget about anything for a week then panic then feel guilty then switch to „I want to be an artist” mode after which is I want to be a game developer mode, and then there is I want to be a mobile developer mode

I am entry knowledge level at sooo many things. Maybe if ai assistants materialise in sufficient form it will be era for people like me that know a little bit of everything but lack the willpower and consistency to ever master anything.

This week is a music artist week for me I am producing stuff in Ableton maybe it isn’t good but it is the only thing that makes sense right now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I feel you. I am the exact same, so many unfinished project. But I think it's good, i have fun for some times and then when it stops being fun I switch to something else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Okay but how do you keep a job and make money like this ya know this isn’t the exact mindset they are looking for or makes it possible to finish serious stuffs

Might as well surf the waves of privilege except that sucks and feels bad

[–] WhyDoYouPersist 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

How old is the joke about crying in the shower before work? Was it a more popular thing to do then than now? Do we have more to cry about now, but cry less often because we're numb? What about people with bathtubs but no showers? Why am I crying? Why is Jamie crying?

[–] Diplomjodler3 9 points 7 months ago

Look at Mr. Moneybags here who can afford to cry in the shower! I bet he has warm water too!

[–] suction 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What is crying?

What is?

[–] theangryseal 2 points 7 months ago

Freezing in the shower because the hot water heater took a shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

How do you know where I am?

[–] SlopppyEngineer -2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

It's also the only place that has life in that vast desert of stars with empty rocks orbiting them.

Edit: funny how this turns into a "I want to believe" session

[–] Diplomjodler3 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How do you know? It's like you sampled a thimble full of water from the ocean and concluded that whales don't exist.

[–] SlopppyEngineer -1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Some astrophysicist are saying that. And like they say: it's never aliens.

[–] Diplomjodler3 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No serious astrophysicist is claiming there is no extraterrestrial life. We haven't found any definitive evidence yet, but that's just because our sample so far has been tiny.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 0 points 7 months ago

Nobody claimed there was no extraterrestrial life. Most expect some life with at least some algae. Just chances for intelligent life, as more data comes in, turns out to be rather small and with a reasonable chance we're the only one in this galaxy. The values originally used in the Drake equation were very optimistic.

[–] Gabu 2 points 7 months ago

The meaning of that phrase is "don't assume things without evidence". We have plentiful evidence that life should be common in the Universe - of which not the least reason is that the Universe is believed to be infinite, meaning there are countless galaxies out there nearly exactly like out own, with planets exactly like our own.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

That would be very surprising if it were true, considering the incomprehensively vast numbers of stars and planets out there. I wonder what the equivalent of crying in the shower would be for some alien though? Maybe that is our unique trait.

[–] ricdeh 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

If it were not true then that would be the actual surprise. The probability for life to form has been computed over and over during the past century, incorporating ever more gains in scientific knowledge, and it is on the order of 10^-100^, meaning that there likely is no other life in at least our galaxy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

There's no one that can make the estimate accurately right now. Any calculation like that is going to rest on lots on many wild estimates and unknowns. Happy to look at it if you have a source though.

[–] Gabu 1 points 7 months ago

Source: your anus.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

But so far chances of intelligent life seem to be vanishingly small and using those numbers we get one civilization every few galaxies.

[–] Gabu 2 points 7 months ago

There could be ten different civilizations in a radius of 100 light years of us with the same technological level we had 200 years ago and we wouldn't know.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

We're working with an n of 1 basically. If you're talking about the drake equation, many of those terms are wild estimates that we simply don't know the answer to, it's more of a thought experiment. In the course of astronomy history when we've assumed uniqueness about earth or our cosmic situation we've generally been wrong. Unfortunately the vast distances between stars make an estimation of life in the universe difficult with current technology, as there is so much we can't observe.

But there's billions of stars in the galaxy, billions more planets, and septillions of star systems in the universe with billions of years for life to happen. Intelligent life has happened at least once because we're here. Even in the tiny slice of planets we've been able to observe in some way in our narrow little corner of the galaxy we've found numerous ones in the "goldilocks" zone. It would be utterly shocking if we were the only intelligent life out there, even more shocking if our planet had the only life. And all of this assumes we know what kinds of life are possible! We've only ever seen our own type of chemistry.

Don't mistake this for me saying we've been visited by aliens in UFOs or something though, not saying that at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

We do not know that
