Fair enough, have a good one mate. Appreciate the discussion.

Pointing out a positive side of something isn’t muddying the waters, nor is it in any way an attempt to refute the original point. If you’re unable to acknowledge something positive about the situation then I think that’s on you, personally. Like I said, we should engage with the things people actually say, not what we think their implied meaning might be. It does not follow that being more comfortable should imply you should feel fulfilled and that is not an argument that’s been put forward by anyone. No need to refute something nobody is putting forward. It just makes it harder to have a productive discussion, nothing more.

My reading of the comment was that the luxury being referred to was the fact that it’s indoors, access to clean water, music etc. Nobody said slaving away for shareholder value is a luxury. My point is these are important non black and white issues and to have a proper conversation about them we need to engage with what people actually say. Otherwise what’s the point of even commenting here?

It’s a straw man because nobody said you should be happy wasting your life away in an office generating shareholder value. It’s possible to appreciate the good things we have whilst still being critical of the system we are in. I personally disagree with the other commenters implication that capitalism is to thank for these things but that’s a whole other discussion.

Save some straw for the animals, geez

I think I just relate to the loneliness and the competing desires for solitude and connection. It’s always nice to see a character heal from something you’re personally struggling with.

Not your size? Are you trying to argue against millions of customer orders and reviews? That’s like…a lot of orders and reviews you know.

That’s the spirit

My God. He may have died, but can any of us truly say we have lived half as much as he did?

Yeah but that’s a whole next day away.

I finally found the answer to all problems in my life: just be motivated to do things. I’ll start tomorrow…well, next week at the latest.

I did not plan for this, in hindsight, inevitable eventuality

For escaping the world: car. Solitude and a background task while my mind ticks away.
