  • Sure, yeah.

    20:30 December 24 as a kid through 05:30-ish? Until I actually fell asleep anyway it felt eternal. Like the second hand on the clock fucking with you by sticking but still ticking. Which that shit did back then but always sprung back to barely-any-time-passed.

    I had a long career with plenty of digg/reddit time that made a nine hour day feel like a pleasant nine, but still nine. Too bad they also made the rest of the 15 feel like shit.

    I answered tier one tech calls from collection agents. Eight hours was eternal. Worse than Christmas, soul crushing, can’t make a joke about it. Left.

    Now I have a job that I love that is 12 to 15 if OT. Breezes by.

    Human nature I think.

    If you meant on a larger timescale then - yes also, but nobody needs dreadful anecdotes.








  • Under a Trump administration, the US would withdraw into itself. It would abandon its closest allies while cozying up to enemies like Russia, North Korea, and China whose leaders are skilled at stroking Trump’s ego and manipulating him. And under a Trump administration, with autocrats encouraged and allies abandoned, the world would devolve to the rules of the jungle with the strong preying on the weak. In this environment, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, the three Baltic States, and all of Eastern Europe are under threat.

    Well put. The whole thing is good.
