Metal-American User ID: 73836248 United States 08/19/2022 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many here have sleeping problems, I know my sleep is wack, I mean like I can go to be at midnight and still note get a wink to like 6 or later in the morning. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83822354 Rodney Dangerfield had a line in a movie, his wife says to him, "why don't you go upstairs and go to sleep", he responds with "I don't fall asleep I pass out" that is how I feel about sleep. For me I am sure getting a good restful night of sleep would perk me up, have a brighter outlook on life, try praying for me, maybe I am not doing it right. lol Here here. I sleep about 4 hours a night. in shifts of 2 hours. It's going to kill me. Same here - the circadian rhythm changes. Over fifty is completely different. On the positive side, my workday is now 20 hours long. Sadly in my case, that would just be four more hours per day that I don't feel like doing shit.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84037490 Australia 08/19/2022 08:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is less about OP and more about young people... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82280704 Most of what you accomplish in life, or at least the most "complex" happens in your 20s and somewhat in your 30s. Take advantage of your youth, energy, and creativity. As a generality I agree, some burn fast and bright, some of those continue to do so, though for sure there's outliers who absorb a lot and then express it in a supernova kinda way later in life. A measure of good health is key of course, enthusiasm is the wellspring of creativity. |

Feeling the same time. It all seems futile considering the options. If NOTHING happens, if NO conspiracies are true, then what are we left with? An Oligarchy and digital banking future, with more and more automation, more and more dumbed down people, less and less originality and collapse as an exponential and inevitable end whether they win in depopulating the planet, or if they are overthrown and the natural birth rate sky rockets instead. I've come to the conclusion that we already reached our peak in terms of being an advanced society and that the period between 1850 to 2012 has been nothing more than decades and decades of theater, complete with costumes, pop culture, music, social mores and so on. Seriously look at the stark contrast of each decade in the 1900's and what we have now, for these past 10-20 years and we haven't become the future we once dreamed about. No, instead, they hid all of the ancient technology and reintroduced it with patents attached to them, and scientists and doctors and inventors and researchers they tap and give the script to. Maybe part of this idea was introduced into the Matrix and what Agent Smith told Neo about the world being stuck in 1999 and reset to that date or such? Or like Dark City, where it's always night time but nobody realizes it? There is SO much information injected into media and the big screen, and ALL of our history that we believe to be history as well. In other words, this is ALL theater, we are in an illusion, asleep, and I am no longer certain that death releases you from this conundrum and prison. |
