But was it really me then?

The French found a solution some time ago, maybe history really repeats.

Yep. And if you mention this, you're a commie and capitalism is the greatest thing ever and under socialism we will all starve and have nothing and it never worked look at Cuba.

Like capitalism works, and there are no imaginable alternatives.

Just don't use resources to produce that much useless crap to just dump it in a landfill or burn it? Is it so hard to understand?

In 2016, being young and naive, I really thought that every human being had at least a basic common sense, some very basic decency, no matter the cultural background. I was so sure that this weird old man won't be the President Of The US fucking A.

And then those guys made him their president.

What the hell? Whats wrong with y'all?

Nah, the money makes up for it. I give code, I get money. The rest is up to management.

Maybe we are not done yet with understanding how our biological computer works.

On topics like this, I like to think about bacteria:

Before microscopes, it was unimagible to have little organisms on us and everywhere around us. People have been labelled crazy for believing that there is a whole small universe of organisms everywhere.

Then came microscopes, and suddenly everyone could see it for themselves.

What if we just don't have the right tools to make our magic sauce, spirit, soul, whatever visible to us yet?

It is also going to poison your brain, and mine, too.

Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?

The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn't slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?

Shit.

So where can I send a sample now?

I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.

I changed from shift work in industry to a desk job in IT, in my early 30s after having worked shifts for 8 years. I always liked shiftwork, the varied times and the active nature of the job never got boring. I chose the industry because I always knew I would hate a desk job, being in an office all day.

And it really sucks, I cannot stand being in an office and working at a desk for 8 hours a day. Pay is good, the job very interesting, the company and coworkers are nice, nothing to complain - but man, I fucking hate office environments. Luckily, we have a lot of flexibility and can work remotely, or take frequent breaks at the office, and generally are flexible in how to structure the work day.

Without all this, strictly having to be in an office for 8 hours each day with rigid times - I would not last long.
