I'm in this moment where.. my only surviving parent has major health issues.. I value my free time immensely with myself, and spending time with my loved ones. 5000 a month is enough for me to live. You aren't going to be remembered for how much you working, but how present you were in other people lives.

I guess it depends on your age and situation. if I was in my 20s, I might have taken the 50k a year for 5 years. But then I if I could go back in time knowing everything I know now, I wouldn't change choose that job. I'd spend as much time and memories with my dad before he succumbed to cancer (assuming I couldn't change his fate). or if I became a doctor that made that much and was able to save him, I'd do that too. But that's not a boring desk job.

I'm the exact opposite. Running in a tread mill or trails around my house are boring. It's hard to make meaningful progress in running and weight lifting though.

For weight lifting, you have to eat more than you normally to get results.. Stalling is boring. But just the mindset of getting more reps or increasing the strength is awesome.

I've done all three in my life:

1. Miner in australia, earning a 6 figure salary with all travel, expenses and accommodation paid for. Working 12 hour days, 7 days a week, shifting bags of cement in the australian desert
2. Campaign manager for a marketing start up, managing 50+ campaigns across 30 client accounts, basically stealing customer money and dealing with their phone calls every day. 60+ hours of mental hell
3. Current job - software consultant for a software dev company. Cruisiest job I've ever had. 38 hours a week, always leave on time, 1 hour for lunch, virtually no KPIs, management is very easy going. About half the paycheck of the first two.
If I could go back to my early 20s I would work the first job again and this time be really sensible with my money. If I was financially literate back then I could be set for life now. I don't think I could do that job now, too physically taxing and not stimulating enough.

I would never take the second job again. Worst job I've ever had. Paid decently and I got to live in the city, but the anxiety was overwhelming every day.

My current job is pretty good. pay could obviously be better, but I never feel stressed about going to work and that is invaluable.
how many days off a month did you get in your first job? That honestly sounds ridiculously tiring.

I've done physically and mentally stressful jobs also. Working 12hour shifts at a printing press after graduating college with a liberal arts degree. 3 days one week and 4 days the other. Grave shift. I hated the job and it was impossible for me to go back to school too with that schedule.

I've also worked another physical job where I was exposed to chemicals (particularly at the end of shift,k. never again.

As I get older, work life balance matters more. Timephysical and mental health are important. I can't compromise those.

My next notable casual fling. I would literally tell her I would never love her but she was fun and I enjoyed fucking her but I could see myself falling for this girl she knows, that Im pretty close to and she wont be her to me.

Have literally ditched women to hang out with other women, and told them what I was doing.

I don't think most people care about the Israel/Palestine stuff much. Mostly Jews and Muslims. We have an ancient pact with Israel that we have to honor, otherwise America wouldn't have anything to do with this mess. So it's not really most people's business.
You're probably not wrong that most Americans probably don't care about it and don't care to be informed. Hell, I'm not surprised, considering the average American thinks gender means the same thing as sex. Most people will only care about movements that impact them directly. How many Americans cared about Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and post 9-11 stuff that impacted anyone who looks Middle Eastern, Muslim, or had a turban on? It's sad

But they should care. Especially with the Israel-Palesteine War, because we Americans are funding a ridiculous amount of our tax payer money--collectively 50 billion a year to towards Israel.. For mostly weapons. And it's not like they need the money. They aren't Afghanistan or even Ukraine. The Israeli government is the oppressor who are illegally occupying and taking away people's homes and forcing millions of others to live in a 24-7 monitored open-air prison. The Israeli government keeps spinning it on themselves that they are the victims--and sadly, they brainwashed much of their people to believe that. "We have a right to defend ourselves" after Palestinians try to defend themselves.. And then they do 10x the amount of damage and wonder why Palestinians hate them so much.

2. A 35-year-old college professor has a consensual sexual relationship with his 22-year-old student.
On the surface, 1 would be worse, but it's probably equal since both the students are adults... And there is a clear power dynamic going on.
