[dead] Most men live lives of quiet desperation, but I'm not one of them
1 point by davix55 28 minutes ago | flag | unvouch | hide | past | favorite
There's a lot of ways to give meaning to life. You can get married, have pets, get the job of your dreams, you fill your time with cheap dopamine, you can have many acquaintances you call friends who are just as average as you - that should feel familiar enough to know you are enough.
But to find true meaning you have to know the real you. I have many traits, many masks. The mask of fear, the one of smarts, the mask of joy, but in the rare glimpses where I can be the real me, I am a dreamer, I can build realities in my head and believe in them with all my heart without ever knowing if they will be real. I can imagine worlds and even see them, I can live 1000 lives in my head, and I have, but how can the real me in a dream world? Conventional wisdom doesn't interest me, nor conventional pathways in life. I always believed I was a teenager rebelling against his parents, a poor boy trying to be rich or at least make enough money to buy new shoes, never knowing that that's the real me. I don't quit. I don't give up. When I set my mind to it, I make it happen. What I haven't realized is that the power of the universe is infinite and all anyone has to do is feel, understand and dream. That and work your butt off. There's a famous saying: millionaires don't believe in astrology, only billionaires do. I want to be me more than I want to be rich, because once that happens, peace will follow.
I have a very important interview tomorrow and I practiced with a friend, asked around, prepared, I did prepare. I prepared more than I usually do, that's how I know I'll get it. But something was missing. When talking about the team I automatically thought that I have no achievements and my employees do. So I put some phases in CHATGPT to see what it comes up with. It was pretty good, but the word that kept repeating was “nonconventional”.
And I am. After a lot of preparation, thinking about the go to market and whatnot I almost forgot the most important: be me. I'm a maverick, a square peg in a round hole, I'll never fit in, and why would I? The moment I'm close to fitting in I get bored because I'm an infinite learner fascinated by human behavior. At every party I have fun because I observe people, it's like a TV show. I look through the eyes of my persona and see how people see me, but when I look into the eyes of my persona it is hard to understand my achievements because all that matters is the next one and while biggest one hasn't happened yet: being myself.
Funny that I said "every party". I don't go to parties because I'm not invited. I'm not invited because I don't answer people when they call, I don't text back or when I do text I just say "ok".
Is a person defined by the actions they take, the feelings they feel, the words they say, the lives they live, personality traits? The problem with finding the real me is what makes up a "me".
For me, a person is defined by their actions so can I define myself by my actions? Most men live lives of quiet desperation, but I'm not one of them. I am chasing my dream, I prolonged the chase so I didn't reach the goal because the goal was always to be myself and there's nothing more scary. Until now. Regardless of the interview, I will be me, the real me and more than enough to succeed.
when it comes to Patent IPRs

I'm a fan of the proposed change (as someone who feeds themselves off patents and patent litigation). Do I occasionally do a little patent 
-ing? Perhaps. But generally speaking IPRs are absolute aids to deal with and serve just as much as a kick in the balls to smaller inventors as patent trolls themselves.
Limiting them to parties that are actually of interest, will not only make the process less of a pain, but also generate a lot of 
. As such the dramatic thing to do is to support this with all my heart.

You can just upload full movies to archive.org with seemingly no repercussions now? You can google '[movie] (year) archive.org' and it'll show up at the top of the results, no delisting, deboosting, 'some results omitted due to DMCA claim' etc. Is there like a legal loophole that lets them do this? Or have the studios' legal departments not caught on to it yet?

Ok you Python-using heathens. What did you think for difficulty this time around?
Post your coding atrocities below.
For those of you who missed the early signups. Feel free to join the leaderboard late (though rankings are based on time).
Top Poster of the Day:

Current Registered Users: 25,879
tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?
