“Man rests from one labor by doing another.” That also works for managing chronic pain, as I’ve discovered…

Whenever I heard that dopey phrase, I replied (whether under my breath or out loud): “SWTIA?”
“So why throw it away?”
Actually not a stretch, by any means.
Industrial / factory workers have indeed fallen in, and become part of the final product, altho typically moreso earlier in industrialisation’s history.
You could have held a gun against my head for long, sweaty hours, and I would not have been able to come up with this premise.
I love how so many of these are still so charming, all these decades later…


I think that’s in the ballpark!
If I understand correctly, the Buddhist idea of ‘attachment, desire, expectation,’ and ‘anticipated reward’ digs deep upon this shizzle, helping us to understand who we really are, ideally. Is it not?
Ooh ooh, but I remember some Western philosopher must have actually killed it with a succinct line upon such shizzle. Gott verdamt, who was it, though…?


I still get a load of spammy texts directed to the prior user of my #, and pretty clearly they’re almost all produced by simple automation. But even with live callers, I believe many companies have automated a lot of that process as well. So as with email spam (etc), it might take surprisingly little effort to produce the call. So it can still be worth it for them, statistically, to harass you.

Huh! Could you explain the context…?
Dammit, Larson, you just… SUMMONED THE BEAST!


“Look who’s talking.”


Not that I ever saw him in anything other than a Bruce Lee movie long ago, but I had no idea he was such a crazy racist.


This is also true of tuberculosis as I understand it. Most people have it asymptomatically, but it can indeed activate at some point in life.
Kurzgesagt did a fun-to-watch video explaining things:

There are couple free versions for Android (and I would guess, Apple too).
Lone Wolf Saga was adapted from what were originally books, I believe. There’s even a sequel series, I think. Choice Games, (i.e. the one with Ranger saga, Wizard saga, Thief saga etc) is also great, with some seriously impressive writing.
There are a couple others on my phone I could scrounge up if anyone’s interested.
