New instance, who dis?
Oof @ 3 part time jobs. Hope life shapes up for you in the near future friend. Best of luck!
What’s stopping you from doing this now? Seems like it would be naturally the place that industry professionals would flock to and would see dramatic success.
What are your thoughts on the headline: People No Longer Think Working Hard Leads To Better Life
Is this just the natural state of things then?
Oof is this complicated. Yes, but no.
If there is no IP then why would you bother creating or inventing?
On the other hand, Disney extended the timeline of copyrights beyond reason.
Edit: I understand not everyone needs monetary rewards to create something, however I think there are a lot of things that without the monetary reward would not exist.
Do you like video games? Everyone here seems to think we can just copy the files without any harm to anyone. But if all games were free, what sort of games would be created? If game companies stood to make no money, why would they bother with such a large production? Why would Nintendo bother being Nintendo?
It’s not that video games wouldn’t exist without the IP, it’s that without the monetary reward there wouldn’t be such a drive over such an extended period of time. But maybe we only need indie games and no one here has ever enjoyed AAA games. That’s fair, if true.

Neil, if you’re gonna speak relatively but are exclusively comparing stars, you’re going to have to be more specific.
Relatively speaking, stars are hot compared to the rest of the universe.
It’s so we can recreate that, but with like laser beams and stuff.
Projection. Guys like this are admitting that they themselves are incapable of the discipline required for at home work and think no one else can either.
Congrats! I wanted to grow an atemoya but I’m worried about hard pollinating would be.
Willpower is definitely a thing. It’s defined as:
Hey there, subject aside, I think you need to review what you truly think is important in your life. Based on this post you seem to feel a lot of pressure to succeed, but what success really means is up to you, not anyone else. I found the book “Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” to be helpful on this subject; as for the title it’s not about not giving a fuck but choosing carefully what to give a fuck about. There’s some interesting stories on this exact subject in there, e.g. did you know that Dave Mustaine largely considers his majorly successful music career a failure because he was kicked out of a band before starting Megadeth? The band he was kicked out of was Metallica, so he compares himself to them and robs himself of any joy.
There also is more than one path to a goal. Even when you feel like you’ve “failed” it just means you have to find another way.
Personally, I’d find a compilation of such notes a bit morbid and quite sad. So much wasted potential because people felt that they couldn’t change, and we can all change if we want to. But it’s a genuinely interesting concept. Maybe others find them motivational the way you do!
Well, yeah. People are acting like language models are full fledged AI instead of just a parrot repeating stuff said online.
Definitely agree. I know it’s supposed to be a joke “he’s such a great guy we hate him” but it’s physically hard to watch.
They let a bad apple spoil the bunch by not getting rid of the bad apple. Reaping what they sow.
It’s not a donation if they get to dictate what the organization does - it’s a bribe.
