thinking about working 3 days a week and taking off 4 days a week - the concept of working fewer days than I don't work is appealing to me and I could technically do this, but it would cost me $300-$400 a week ($15-$20k/yr) to pay someone to write the sizzle 2 days a week while I do 3 days a week
@DrALJONES That reminds me of a certain decreasingly admired Prime Minister who said, apparently straight-faced, that there was no evidence of corruption in Canberra.#auspol

When I was a teen, I was aggressively anti-theist, imagining myself quite clever for demonstrating how silly religious beliefs are.
But life is fucking hard and I learned not to begrudge anyone any solution they’ve come up with to make life a little more comprehensible to them.
I don’t share anyone’s religious beliefs, but it’s not as if I’ve figured out how to run my own life successfully. I shouldn’t be in the business of telling other people how or how not to handle the world.
@HeavenlyPossum@Radical_EgoCom Acting according to our finite conceptions, religious OR otherwise, in an infinite reality, will tend toward absurd results. That absurdity becomes harmful when resources are applied to the futile effort to force reality to conform to the belief.
Resources on the scales deployed around the eastern Mediterranean...
