All animals can have sex, most without thinking. It’s the definition of skillless work when even a mouse can figure it out and most humans get it for free. Some guys are lonely and will pay for any hole to stick it in, but that doesn’t mean

> I presume your job must be much more important for the good of society than sex work. It sure is and I think it would be hard to deny that. Everyday I go to work I generate a large amount of value for the economy, far more than I get p

A story as old as time. I’m am however increasingly tired of this glorification of sex work, it’s low skill low value work, end of story.

Yah, it’s not so glamorous when you wake up in your own vomit like I did yesterday, with no memory of throwing up. I learned to sleep on my stomach a while ago

> Humanity is mostly good I don't believe there is any evidence to back this up whatsoever. People are compelled to be "good" by society and laws, nothing more. Humanity is fundamentally bad, but reined in by a handful of

Your comment resonates a lot, at least with me. I don't enjoy my life, any distraction I can get and any negative interaction I can block is a positive for me. I don't care if someone finds it problematic or pathetic, at the end o

This isn't reassuring, it's depressing. God we truly are cursed aren't we? Being born into this meat grinder is not worth it and we are unlucky to be here.

I am not quite old enough for a midlife crisis, but suffered a period of extreme burn out which was followed by some kind of crisis/breakdown and I am actively in the process of destroying my life and everything good I worked for. I at

Self driving cars have been only a few years out for how long now? So much money has been dumped into them and it’s not unreasonable to imagine that they may never be “good enough”. Frankly with higher interest rates and reduced investment,

The more time goes on, the less opposed to this I am. There are too many bad actors in society who fuck things up for the rest of us. Behaving is too hard for some people and I'm fine with punishing via a social credit score.

Why not? I've worked on systems like this as there is a demand. We offer it on personal lines and people like the discount, but business lines? They actually want these devices on their vehicles.

It would be a much more interesting story if that were the original sin.

It’s completely impossible when you bring trains, planes, and boats into the conversation. It’s almost surely impossible to replace the global fleet of cars in that time too.

It shouldn’t be a big issue, fuel tanks of that size aren’t just empty spaces. They have baffles inside to prevent sloshing.

You and I have the same poison of choice and we are probably both working our way to having a problem with it…most people who use it to forget are. I know HN users on the whole dislike alcohol while being open minded about other drugs, but

The frustrating thing is I have excelled in this career before. My second last job was really amazing and I made real, valuable contributions. I stayed with them for years, it was a match made in heaven that I'm starting to think I won

Nah, this isn't possible. My ability to afford that time is due to having a mortgage and being in a low COL location. Going somewhere else while cool, would actually reduce my total time because my base costs are fixed and not optional

1) I am the misfit at work, I've been one my entire life. I've always been the "odd person". I really try my best on this front, but it's worse with WFH. In office people found me kind of funny and enjoyed having me

Thankfully I can be confident it's not COVID of any particular length. I have never caught COVID at any point and I actually have the data to back up the claim unlike most people which is helpful since I can rule it out. I'd never
