About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Putin: NATO-Truppen hätten keinen Einfluss auf Krieg ++
Russlands Präsident Putin glaubt nicht, dass NATO-Truppen den Kriegsverlauf maßgeblich ändern könnten. Die Ukraine meldet mehrere Tote nach Drohnenangriffen in der Region Donezk. Alle Entwicklungen im Liveblog zum Nachlesen.

An incomplete list of inappropriate comments I received from my male colleagues recently:
- You look furious.
- You have a quiet voice. A woman from Ukraine in our department also has a quiet voice.
- You look nervous.
- You gave me an angry look at the elevator and I didn't dare to discuss a project with you.
- You are so modest.
- You don't have to get so confrontational.
They reduce our professional interactions to an imaginary emotional state…

I hope people look at this and realize that licenses will not protect them; they will only ever protect capital in the long run https://aus.social/@KathyReid/112413898118066645

So just as a change of pace, I just had a decent cold call.
Them: “Hi we’re calling about x, interested?”
Me: “nope”
Then: “Ok thanks, have a good day!”
Me: “You too!”
Boom done.
If they were all like that I’d probably still answer my phone. 😂

LE LORO CONDANNE, LA NOSTRA DIGNITÀ
“Fate chiasso, fatevi sentire”, diceva il Papa. “Siete l'ultima generazione” spiegava ai giovani il pontefice. Eppure la sentenza di oggi, pronunciata dal tribunale vaticano “nel nome di Sua SantitŠ”, svuota quelle parole di significato.

Ultima Generazione
LE LORO CONDANNE, LA NOSTRA DIGNITÀ "Fate chiasso, fatevi sentire", diceva il Papa. "Siete l'ultima generazione" spiegava ai giovani il Pontefice. Eppure la sentenza di oggi, pronunciata dal tribunale vaticano "nel nome di Sua Santità", svuota quelle parole di significato. Condannati, di nuovo. E, mentre veniamo condannati, in Sicilia l'acqua viene razionata e le persone in Emilia-Romagna ancora non hanno ricevuto fondi per le case che hanno dovuto abbandonare. Eppure noi ci abbracciamo,…

Every day that I'm obligated to be in my office (which is currently a couple days a week) I arrive at my desk and think "why the fuck am I here?" No one has a valid answer.
