Is that why they’re cracking down on ad blockers so hard? So they can keep paying for wasted time?

And some people get “bored” in life smh

Reminds me of that glue on pizza thing: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd11gzejgz4o

The law of conservation of fucks: a fuck given means a fuck taken since fucks cannot be created nor destroyed. Basic fuck physics.

Yeah, I guess that’s the point: if you see a pattern of giving a fuck about something minor, it can become easier to work on not giving a fuck about it. Sometimes not giving a fuck can take fucks.

The true “no fucks given” app is the one that only existed as a thought for half a second before being shrugged back off into the void.

I also feel like it’s aggressively trying to not come across as a bot. It’s got a really intense whimsical energy that’s kinda creepy and… not human lol

My friend was a pretty accomplished academic. Nothing like a mad genius or anything, but pretty excellent and capable. Wasn’t down with the rat-racey pressure to publish and oversell ideas. Left it all to go live in a small farm town. Last time we talked he seemed happy but it wasn’t the easy and smooth path of academia -> farm town, it was actually academia -> enormous existential crisis -> farm town.
