It's kinda funny/crazy how everyone thinks they are special and how their path is the right one to take. Those who chase careers say how it's horrible to focus on a family, those who want family laugh at those who chase better and better jobs and who spend majority of their time working. Some are quite close to relgion while others don't believe in anything, probably not even in themselves most of the time. Perception of reality is a difficult thing to handle when you're surrounded by different people who view things differently, but it's a good thing, since you get the wider picture and see feel other angle from their point of view. More and more people seem to be focused on hedonism, wanting everything the very same moment, killing the patience itself that creates whole wider problems later on. But so much time looks to be spent rather wasteful.
Ah, the war on normalcy. Everybody is a failure unless they are a global social media starrrr.
But you're right in that there are a lot of polarities out there. Have you ever heard of Polarity Mapping (
http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Polarity_Mapping )? Interesting concept, as sometimes there are dynamics in a system that cannot be solved for together but rather end up being a balanced tradeoff. And you've touched on a few here.
But you can't write this stuff unless a) you've read more than a few books, and b) you've slowed down long enough to allow time to think bigger thoughts. Well done, sir.
That is genius. Thanks for that.
You guys know any good torrent sites to download complete series? I'm trying to download the Wire.
eztv would do it for me
Do torrents still exist?
Was Pirate Bay like the best out there...but it got shut down.
Aw, man. I know I'm an old fart because I prefer to download than to stream... it's because I can't trust streams in this country.
Majority of "figuring out life" comes down to fun IMO. And it's where everything goes different because fun is defined differently. But it's hard to imagine people connect when their sense of fun is worlds apart. Some might enjoy reading while other enjoys travers. Being an introvert/extrovert obviously makes a big difference, although such things change in a life span so not even there you stick with one route.
I don't think it's fun. Fun is kind of a diversion in a lot of contexts. I think the pursuit of joy is stronger than fun per se, as a general rule. And joy I would argue is more a state of being than a state of doing. Too many people are trying to do their way to desired states ... seeking the answers outside themselves. When the real answers to questions come from within. And are more a state of being than doing.
You have a pm

.
Do share.

I still download like a sad relic of the '00s.
-53 in Chicago? That's fucking crazzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy!
I've lived through that a few times. It's kind of wild. Having your spit freeze before it hits the sidewalk. Your eyelids fusing together when you blink. Breathing in through your nose and feeling like someone jammed icicles up it. Good times, good times...
Anyone here work in the field of data science or data analytics?
I work with them if that helps.
