Spending your time “productively” is a capitalist brainwashing tool. They already exploit you in your working hours, five days a week, all day. They came for our off hours with the advent of newer technologies. They came for our third spaces because they implied you were allowed to live your life outside of spending or producing capital. And they’re here, already vying for your small sliver “you” time because that doesn’t churn the gears of this life sucking system.
Fight the fucking system. Do goddamn nothing and enjoy it. Don’t let them guilt you into thinking your life is wasted if you’re not “producing.” Fuck them.
I mean, I should have washed my towels because I ran out of clean towels last night but here we are at bedtime and it’s not been done. That’s got as close to nothing to do with capitalism as it gets but it’s certainly got a lot to do with being productive and it’s something I should have done today but didn’t
The devil wears overalls.
Two thousand to look like a fancy farmer. Yikes
I allowed myself to get pulled into another rewatch of Ted Lasso and have been stuck in my feels since last night. Honestly? Worth it. I can emerge tomorrow to be an adult.
I mean… I’ve posted memes on lemmy… it’s something 🥲.
o7 doing the lord’s work
It took me far to long to realize o7 represented someone saluting, and not 007’s lame intern, 07, that everyone was talking about for some reason.
TIL what o7 is.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
There’s a parable about this Taoist Master who’s seen standing by a mountain view.
They ask the Master: are you meditating? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you contemplating nature? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
They ask the Master: are you waiting for something? And the Master says no, I’m just standing here.
Sometimes it’s okay to just stand there.
“And thus, the students were enlightened”
Yes, okay, but I think that in this parable this master was, in the way that we would understand it, mediating. But in saying this trying to make a deeper point about how mediation is “just standing” (or sitting, or whatever) and not striving for a particular goal. The same principle is commonly expressed in zen and other related branches of Buddhism which absorbed some ideas from Taoism. That said it is totally 100% okay to just stand there, or to play video games or relax on the weekend. But I don’t think it’s quite the same as the master in this story was doing.
Yeah, what I like about those stories is that they’re open-ended enough that you can interpret them in various ways. What you’re saying is definitely a valid interpretation.
It’s nice to sometimes let the world pass by instead of always trying to keep up
fucking ouch
I did both today. I’m really proud of myself.
Good work, I’m proud of you too
I feel personally attacked.
Just polish off this one more season of The Big Bang Theory and then you can figure out what to do about it.
Guilty.

Why does the hitler mustache disappear in the last panel?
Edit: seems humour is not to taken lightly or joked about!
It’s not a mustache
So it’s a mouth? Loks like depressed hitler IMO.
The chin chinned so hard it’s giving frowning face.
I get that, but a mustache usually doesn’t disappear in the last panel, so it must be the mouth.
True, still confusing with the wrinkle being, two wrinkles? And one looks like a sad mouth.
In case not a joke - that’s his mouth. In the last panel it’s closed.
