Running Kitty the past year and a bit and really like it. Used to run into weird laggy issues with other terminal emulators, but Kitty runs like a beast for me.

fire!

So what you want to know is: if i have a very negative attitude towards Italian people, can i support my wife in putting as much tabasco on her pizza?

My brain is not wired to be proud of things (chase the process!).

But i think achievements that I would put on my resume of life:

• Smoked for 15 years, quit, now 10+ years, nifty to think of. (i like number go up)
• Still alive even though i never thought that would happen a lot of times in my life, keep on keeping on
• I have released a bunch of cool music with other people and it has been a ‘getting out of hand’ hobby also for the past 15+ years
• Up until now haven’t screwed up the next generation bonus-mini-me, today was their first day in high school, so pretty proud of them (not my achievement though, i just supported along the way).

That is a great achievement, and a good looking one as well! One i haven’t yet reached!

So how many days do you take a year? As the other comments also touch upon, it becomes an outperform thing with co- workers, to take the least amount to “perform better”. Also how easy and often do managers then deny requests?

With a fixed set it has an actual value, at the company they can’t deny PTO’s as they are yours. Of course planning comes into play a little bit, but if you let the company know that 2 months from now you take 4 weeks off for a good long summer holiday, that is what you will be doing then in those 2 months.

ps. I have 25 personal paid days, a bunch of public holidays. Doctor’s appointments are on the ‘please try to schedule them outside working hours if possible, otherwise, well, that’s life, you need to visit that doctor’. Full travel reimbursement (fixed amount per month, can spend however i want), A lot of secondary items in my contract as well dealing with having to take care of partner / children if they become sick (is paid time off), etc etc.

Can’t think of a word, but want to add ‘automagically’ to that list.

It is hard to find the outlets that are not just doom spewing but try to make it smaller and more personal, hopefully some of these podcasts give you a bit more that type of content that is motivating for you.

There are more podcasts that deal with these kind of issues and maybe how to improve on those, or at least give context and options.

A few other podcasts that touch on these subjects:

Revolutionary Left Radio Mass Struggle Live Like the World is Dying (also with Margaret Killjoy) Final Straw Radio This Anthro Life
