What's the point of that?"

I got suckered, and take no comfort in being part of such a large club.
@Dgun8 While the large club is not a great incentive or great value to propose, may I suggest anyway;
- if you're going to die anyway, reduce the level of 'making a living' (profit for others) since that is also a kind of dying arguably
- and then see what happens as a more fun story rather than running around for others perhaps making it worse (if your first post was something around that)...
For example I accept we are economic #war now, and I simply do less to win... which has led to better conscious (not supplying as much war / taxes from my own cruelty at work) and moved on to more interesting places,
Not perfect but also consider saying to yourself "hmm maybe I don't need to feed these problems and do less / give chance to something else than pay for ALL* this monthly again AND working"
*ALL = all this stuff / extortionate rent etc

How do you fight YouTube addiction and procrastination? (BEST 2 ANSWERS)
@hkrn
EXCELLENT QUESTION!.
❓ How do you fight YouTube addiction and procrastination? ❓
✅ BEST ANSWERS: ✅
1️⃣#Procrastination is not a time management problem; it's an #emotional management problem.
What it comes down to is not having belief in what you do, so you do other things. You might feel #trapped, so you pass the time with stuff like YouTube because that is the most compelling thing available to you.
A man will walk on broken glass with a smile if he truly believes in what it will accomplish.
2️⃣ I've come to accept unproductive downtime as a #counterbalance to highly focused times. If it becomes too extreme, the best bet is to #unplug totally. #Schedule some tasks out of the house, preferably in nature.
Before you begin, take some time to outline the tasks you need to complete. Now when you return to the home office, you are only there for one reason.
If problems persist, you may need to find more #interesting #projects.

A #video #documentary about two #rocks bands, spanning a number of years. Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols.
What makes it special is the examination of the complex contrasting personalities and the ironies of success and failure.

MORE BELOW - COMMENTS SEPARATE GENERALLY
#FreeSchool says: "For me it's about developing better emotionally intelligent people (#EmotionalIntelligence) not just developing #Technology and developing #STEM...
The Tech way would be very lop-sided and in-human, and I think we're seeing that with tons of people doing Tech while leaving humanity without proper human interaction and communication developed.
Isn't it a wonder how much money goes into other things more than caring / developing people or to really listening to problems. Sure it's not profitable and that's why unhappiness continues [as a result of profit].
You could see profit as inverted measure of damage to nature and it's people (directly or indirectly as #habitat / #urban #environment / #climate or again lop-sided human #development... for more profit and less happiness).
More #emotionally #intelligent #decisionmakers are needed for the way so it's WITH others going forward to understand better and make better decisions (in their own life / company and externally with others). So many projects fall apart for example due to #emotional issues in groups...
Tech is abusing and also taking advantage of these kinds of default "idiots" (untrained but clever people in a few compartmentalized fields or #specialists) and less emotionally intelligent people are not excluded from lesser human intelligence overall). Yes it could be you doing A LOT of one thing and never the other...
================
TECH IS POLITICAL...
[MY ADDED COMMENT]
================
Tech is political if money, the people behind it and profit are a measurement.
"No wonder" how much money goes into #STEM more than caring about people / listening to problems at the same time. It's proportional profit to not caring / developing better people / principles, as Tech can skip and cut that out to serve owners agenda.
Doesn't help that #jobs help #compartmentalise everything to whatever trigger chain it wants to make, and anyone in a job shrugs to say "it's not my business" to care for the rest of the people / life.
=======
SUMMARY: I think it is our "job" to care even if #states don't pay for it...
=======
Can expect any $tate looking for it's own money to really care or take less money from people as time goes on (instead of more using banks (negative #maths), #STEM, etc..)
Comments appreciated.
@mc Developing people, not just #STEM ?
In general the intelligence of people (emotional intelligence, not just #maths etc) is rather low, don't you think (referring to your comment you mentioned about this server or other servers).
A lot of #clever people around but not with #emotionalintelligence necessarily or able to see working with imperfection and incrementing that (towards #perfection) is the best way with #imperfect #emotional human beings.
In short developing people, not just STEM ?

#QOTO @freemo (2 things please)
1/ "Pinned Posts" limit back to 5
2/ Saying changes out loud...
1/ The pinned posts seems to have decreased from 5 to 2 posts pinned?
It was 5 I'm quite sure before.
I'm not sure what happened but could we have 5 Pinned Posts again?
2/ It would be good to have even minor changes said aloud to #QOTO hashtag to check this and understand.
Thanks

This is a mastodon instance. I have every respect for it, but I don't use it. It's one of several to recently start blocking British users.
I can still interact with its users through mas.to.
This is because of the UK's new Online Safety Act of 2023. It requires site owners to moderate content "considered harmful" to minors; meaning, anything the government doesn't like.
Extremely orwellian law and I have mad respect for lgbtqia's banner they now serve to UK visitors:

Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
