I have this weird thing where doing certain things that I know I will enjoy gets classified in my brain as "work", so I put them off, even though they're not substantially different from what I consider "not work"
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
The face resists possession, resists my powers. In its epiphany, in expression, the sensible, still graspable, turns into total resistance to the grasp. This mutation can occur only by the opening of a new dimension. For the resistance to the grasp is not produced as an insurmountable resistance, like the hardness of the rock against which the effort of the hand comes to naught, like the remoteness of a star in the immensity of space. The expression the face introduces into the world does not defy the feebleness of my powers, but my ability for power.* The face, still a thing among things, breaks through the form that nevertheless delimits it. This means concretely: the face speaks to me and thereby invites me to a relation incommensurate with a power exercised, be it enjoyment or knowledge.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal Lisa Schiffren, a former speechwriter for former vice president Dan Quayle, praised Bush for appearing not only “really hot” but “credible as a commander in chief. But mostly 'hot' as in virile, sexy and powerful.”
why do some people think that reporting problems or making statements about issues has to go along with insulting things they don't like in colorful language?
why can't these people state things without including emotionally charged language with their statements?
why can't these people write up bug threads without telling the devs that they're worthless pieces of shit or that the game is shovelware and should have been on mobile or something like that?

i feel this
i have been feeling that playing games and watching tv shows in organized manners and in response to or in light of social expectations really is not substantially different from "work"
and i've also been trying to make my "work" feel more like "not work" so i'm more likely to do it smoothly

if you're a game/tv critic then it is work
i read books, and for me that's work. but even if i'm interested in a book i find myself procrastinating a bit over reading it just because it's work, or because i think of it as work. something about having an obligation to do something makes it suddenly less attractive

as it turns out, the true pleasure of my childhood was not actually getting to play these games per se, but being able to explore them to my heart's content with nary a care, and even when i had to look over my shoulder, it was out of worrying about a scolding, rather than worrying about existential questions

Sometimes, yes, the time for talk as ended and the time to act has begun.
But when it is the time to speak, there is such a thing as learning to be respectful in your speech so as to help other people see the truth.
The combination of reason and emotion makes us what we are.
Not a robot, not an ape, not a demon, not an angel.
Human.
Stupid, flawed, wonderful, weak, short-sighted, creative, amazing, annoying, brilliant, strong, smelly, priceless, confused, dreadful, wise, humans.
