I'd like to see what a train wash would look like.

If one asks how I got triggered last night and 'studied' the thoughts and emotions of injustice...

Well, let's just say my country had a family unfriendly movie about a life of a caretaker of an autistic child.


Quite a balanced plot, accurate enough and reasoned but...

Again, not family friendly; the circumstances are bad from the start.
The whole plot and the tragedy itself isn't too focus on autism, but on helplessness and unfairness in many directions overall.


Also spoiler on that movie (not family friendly remarks)

Hungry.

New year's resolutions. Not necessarily mine.

And this weird, weird strange feeling. This is something I feel at least every week -- being in a very to familiar setting but... It's just weird detached weird.
As if... Something between my emotions towards a memory changed.

With enough boredom to wish I could accompany my mom everywhere and assist her.


Local pandemic enforcement is... Hard and confusing.
There's monitoring, there's this redistribution of goods, there's also surveiling and authorizing travel...


Too bad having the symptoms of damn chronic rhinitis gives off a huge, huge paranoia fuel false alarm of a red flag.

Passing fails of words and actions, weirdness of my movement and thought be damned, I'm sniffling.

I'm going to buy another pre-built gingerbread house so that mine won't be lonely.

I don't want to go xmas shopping today, but at least I have the money to be able to. I should quit complaining about it. My daughter isn't driving and accompanying me. It should be okay. I have a planned break, back up I need place, good security net. Besides I really want to get HBG his teapot. Yeah, this will be okay. I got this.

I estimate that my thesis will be 62±2 pages when fully written, not including forward/table of contents, references, and appendices. Could easily be 80+ pages with those included.

I just about to wrap up the discussion so all that's left to write is a short conclusion (~2 pages) and an abstract (~1 page).

The Ethics of Ambiguity was Simone de Beauvoir's attempt to create an ethical system out of the existentialist framework. This is a naturally difficult problem, and one that Sartre tried himself but never really published anything on, because Sartre and de Beauvoir's brand of existentialist centers human freedom, so it becomes very difficult to explain why someone should follow any rules whatsoever, or even why it is worse to authentically be evil. In the beginning of the work, she explains the different modes of existence that human beings take, and why they are inauthentic modes of existence. She, rather amusingly, breaks down humanity into five divisions that seem, well... somewhat arbitrary: Sub-men (what I called 'losers'), Nihilists, Adventurers, Serious men, and lastly the Existential heroes who are following her and Sartre's advice. Of course she doesn't actually think everyone is precisely one of those five types, but more uses them to illustrate how a large number of people flee from their freedom, and thus from their moral responsibility as well.

She does give more positive examples than that; like, you cannot with consistency use your own freedom to deny freedom to others. The only way to do this is with a kind of inauthentic, bad faith willing act. If we are to be authentic in the world we must believe in the same thing for others that we believe in for ourselves.

This place is really limited.

How many pictures of a homeless camp near my house I should take
and which media sources to hand them over to.

Dang, I love cornbread. I should make some.

Wow

The league cup won't be won by a club from Glasgow

Wow

I'd have schaudenfreude but again... won't be won by either.

Another variable to track...
And I have to learn how to recognize when it happens.

Just gotta keep updating...
