Me when someone from work messages me on teams

Yeah they definitely have a tinge of virtue signaling imo.

But if people enjoy em, who am I to judge.

Green is incarceration and wage slavery

Experts? Experts of what exactly? Teleportation?

No longer? It never was

Ew no

There is nothing honest about this work here

Way too many comments saying way too many people in the comments thinking they’re serious.

While I agree with the sentiment…there are workers who are fighting for things like safe working conditions, access to clean water, above poverty wages, etc. …and then there’s Billy Bob here drafting (and subsequently screenshotting and posting for all to see) a temper tantrum because his potential employer uses an operating system he doesn’t like. They’re welcome to turn down an offer for whatever reason (assuming this is even real in the first place), but I’m sorry, this is entitled as fuck.

Why not turn down an offer because a company is supporting the military industrial complex? Or has ties with black market business? Where are those screenshots? Those would be much more apt reasons for turning down an offer, rather than this shit 😂.

Let me tell you a story. For as long as I could remember, I was always externalizing my happiness on set conditions.

I just need more money, then I’ll be happy and at peace.

I just need a new car. Then I’d finally be fulfilled.

I just needed to be in a fulfilling relationship. Then I’d finally be whole.

I just needed excitement. Adventure. Change in my life. Then I’d be happy.

I just needed to find “meaning”. A purpose. Religion maybe? Some kind of metaphysical concept or something. Then I’d be happy.

And on and on and on and on.

And when I did achieve what I thought would finally make me happy, it was always momentary and hollow. And soon the background dissatisfaction would come back.

Realizing that there was nothing external that could keep me at a consistent state of peace and happiness was one of the biggest realizations for me. There is nothing that can “make” me happy. Happiness must come internally rather than external. You must be happy to just “be”. Just your “being”, your awareness, should spark joy and happiness in you all the time. This is a difficult concept to put into words.

For me, mindfulness and meditation allowed me to be aware of my thoughts and mental forms. Which allow me to more easily stay only as an “observer” to any negative thought forms. I had been mistaking the clouds for the sky. When they are in fact, only clouds that will pass eventually. And the sky is very beautiful and bright indeed, and is always there for you to access, even if it seems obscured by clouds.

Once I was doing pretty good, I used psychedelics to enhance my understanding (shrooms, dmt mostly). This has allowed me to “be” with the universe itself. To realize that I “am” the universe experiencing this dance called “life”. And that’s exactly what life is. A dance.

And then eventually, I don’t even need psychedelics to experience myself.

Realizing this, I have more fun. I don’t take things too seriously. I am much more at peace and happy. I don’t attach myself to unnecessary wants. I still feel negative emotions, yes, but I do not attach myself to them. I allow them to come and go, and I can finally live life the way it was meant to be lived.

At what point do brain cells develop the complexity for consciousness? Is there a specific number of brain cells which produces self-awareness?

I have a difficult time believing that consciousness is some artifact that arises from material “complexity and structure”, and tend towards the nondual view of reality.

But that is just my opinion, and what makes consciousness such a fascinating subject imo.

Smiling friends is hilarious

It would start a fire from the wood long before the metal melts

I believe our conscious mind works in a similar manner. We observe only a filtered, distorted projection of external reality. Which is really the “self”.

If you take DMT, this becomes extremely apparent. It is quite interesting.

Thank you for your service

Did anyone actually think this was valid reasoning?

Used to work at a company that was selling computer equipment to terrorist organizations. They wanted an engineer to work with compliance to basically, very illegally, “reclassify” components so that they could get them to shady organizations more easily (figured this out after I had already accepted the position).

I could’ve just quit. But then they would’ve found some other engineer to do the work, and probably quite easily (they were paying well).

Instead I just refused to do what they asked of me. Got yelled at, they tried everything possible to get me to quit (moving my desk alone in the warehouse where it was freezing, making up rumors about me, etc). Still, it took them a year to finally find a reason to fire me (and still, it was without cause, so I got unemployment too). That’s 1 year that I wasted for them.

Most companies aren’t going to go through the hassle of firing for cause, because that opens them up to lawsuits. They will likely just take the hit of having to pay into unemployment, and lay you off instead.

It is possible to say No. You might get yelled at and be treated like shit, but at the end of the day, I knew I was doing the right thing. And that’s what’s most important, in my opinion.

People say “well if I say No, they’ll just fire me on the spot”, but have you actually tried to say No? If they do fire you, then make them go through the hassle of firing you, and for fucks sake, fight back!

If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Well of course he is. He’s not a cat.
