Seriously, it's only polite.

So I got my head scanned and lo and behold, fucking white matter lesions just superior to the claustrum in my frontal lobe. So that explains my executive dysfunction. Seeing as that can't be treated with ritts, what job should I do that doesn't require planning and organisation, but does pay the bills? I am not good at my current job and need to switch for my mental health.

Obviously the inclination is to say

no, that's a captive audience and it's creepy.

Because part one is always true and part two is sometimes true, maybe even often true. Idk. It's part of how people take things.

But if you're a guy or a less than hot gal getting some attention, isn't it potentially a little nice?

Should it be reserved for 'socially acceptable for middle aged people on the right side of 5 to hit on young staffers who are no higher than a 6..?'

Or is this always bad business?

Time to find out who's an extrovert and who's not, I guess.

I heard someone say it's good because it gives people a boost of confidence and self worth.

I've heard others say it's always bad.

An ex girlfriend of mine used to give me the business cards and phone numbers she got whole being a waitress when we met as almosr a sign of bragging lol, she was proud of all of them

Stretch Goals (hilariouschaos.com)

So this concept is about setting goals that challenge you, "stretching" you perhaps a little beyond your current limits. I was curious what your experiences have been with this idea?

It seems some businesses do a bad job with these, perhaps stressing people out with unrealistic aspirations. Yet this is probably just a problem with setting the appropriate amount of difficulty and not inherent in the concept of stretch goals themselves.

Have you had any good experiences with the concept of stretch goals or any ideas on how to make them work better or any you're working on you want to discuss?

Summer Plans? (hilariouschaos.com)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 
 

With the arrival of summer, does anyone have any interesting summer plans to share?

I have some loosely organized family "reunions" or gatherings planned or in mind, but I suppose for the short term besides that a lot is up in the air and life is like a "rolling release" (by analogy to software) of a bunch of tasks that are being incrementally worked on.

There's also various local events and festivals going on that I might check out.

What's summer looking like for you?

What does "Juneteenth", this new federal holiday in recent years (based on celebrations that have existed for much longer), mean to you?

A celebration of freedom and the responsible use thereof?

A day to highlight ongoing illegal chattel slavery that still exists today, or "legal" wage slavery problems that still are to be fought?

Something else?

At work, for example.

I've heard this claim before that it is not possible for atheists to have "objective moral beliefs" because many moral claims are based on religious authority, which atheists do not believe in.

Thus atheists are subjectivists when it comes to morality: each atheist may disagree with the other about what is moral. Obviously this opens atheists up to problems of disagreements, with some who might believe very conventionally "immoral" things are acceptable for them.

This is not of course to say that atheists may not choose to live lives that are some what "moral" (moral, as is often defined by religions)

So, what's the status of the idea of "objective morality" and atheism?

So assume three lanes (or more), I guess in some places (everywhere in the U.S.?) the person in the left most lane has the right of way to merge right into a center lane if there is another car that wants to also merge into the center lane from a right lane.

My solution to this is ideally people shouldn't merge if there's a car over directly a couple lanes, but to try to either speed up or slow down to "stagger" the cars so that if you were to merge to center or the other car did, they wouldn't collide with you or you with them.

Is this a standard solved problem on the highways beyond what I've described?

Since the social media nowadays built the modern society, many things have changed, for the good and the bad. It brought us to the point that beauty and money are the most important things, but are not.

What would be important for you in a relationship with someone? Who would you consider a partner for life? Someone you would love and expect things from?

Has anyone found "disorganization" to be a general problem plaguing so many random things in life?

I've found it to be a worse problem than a bunch of other things, particularly because it's not viewed as a "sin" or "unethical", it's just "being messy" or an "an expression of the creative lifestyle".

Whereas dirty things are thought to possibly create illness, being a little "disorganized" isn't viewed as being that harmful. It's not like people are doing drugs or something.

I've found it to be enormously harmful for this reason that it's not viewed as being a problem, so it can just grow into all these unrelated problems.

I don't know what would be a good example; maybe there's the growing national debt, with no real plan on how to fix it. It seems like either no public debts (that in a way "no one" is responsible to pay back) should have been taken on, because there are simply incentives to take on the debt until the government crashes, it seems.

The quote was shared I think that a "disorganized space is a disorganized mind". I've come to believe this in my experience; it's a tough call sometimes because some people live "messy" lives without it causing visible harm. But often physically disorganized spaces lead to lost items, wasted time, disorganized ways of living and choices, and so on.

Maybe it's why places like the military want their soldiers to make their bed and dress sharply and all that; in themselves, sure, maybe one could fight effectively and still be messy. But it seems like it creates a mentality of organized living.

Has anyone else found "disorganization" in general to be a problem, and if you got things organized, how did you bring things in to order?
