Deme

Searching for something in a place you'll never reach is about as useless. By the time you reach it, it's no longer called the future. All there is is the here and now. It's ever changing and infinite, so keep looking.

The idea is good enough that it would've deserved at least some effort in the final execution.

It's the experience of a toothbrush collecting data about your daily routines to sell for profit.

I think its basic courtesy to put even a little effort to something as important as a breakup. Not doing it face to face or at least in a call removes the interaction completely. It's taking the easiest possible path in a situation that will certainly affect the other person in a significant manner. It's cold. Using a LLM for said text like in the meme is even lower effor and leaves the recipient feeling utterly worthless. Basically the same thing as getting fired via email.

Polaris is the one start that doesn't rise. It's always at the same height at the same spot. Learning the constellations of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major is a great first step into observing the night sky.

Finding the big dipper (the seven bright stars of Ursa Major) is usually very easy. Then you just follow the line formed by Merak and Dubhe until you find Polaris.

Adhering to the treaty would result in there only being half as much anti-personel mines for civilians to step onto after the war, so it would still be doing something very positive. That being said, I do understand the reasons for withdrawing from the treaty. I miss the optimistic world where the treaty was drafted up, when it briefly seemed that most issues could be solved with multilateral international cooperation :(

What do you think they meant with the alternating caps and the emoji? Personally, I think that it's quite clearly an attempt to ridicule the meme and those who agree with it, built on the preceding facts about modern white collar work being relatively comfortable, which is (as per my previous comment) irrelevant to the question at hand. If you disagree on this interpretation of their intent, then we'll just have to agree to disagree. Good day to you.

Oh I'm actually quite happy with my own job in the public sector. It's varied and at times challenging work that benefits society as a whole. The pay isn't all that much, but we're talking about fulfillment here not salaries. Unfortunately for my peace of mind, I posess empathy and the knowledge that most aren't as lucky. Companies either grow or die, so massive faceless corporations provide a large and growing share of all employment. And it doesn't even need to be a big corp for the job to be a bs job.

Huh. It's almost as if all the various alternatives to capitalism couldn't be lumped into one... Revolutionary Catalonia was Anarcho-Syndicalist, so about as far from the totalitarian soviet system as possible.

The meme is about a lack of fulfillment, not of comfort. The comment by ikr muddles these two off the bat by focusing on comfort as a retort to the meme, and my reply was to intentionally follow that flawed reasoning to display its absurd conclusion. Modern comforts will not make a job fulfilling.

Usually when people call anything a luxury, the implication is that it's something to be happy about. Given that the meme is about wasting ones life away in an office generating shareholder value, I would say that that's the it here.
