"I feel tired"?

I never said a bad word towards you, or about your business, or about your values and beliefs. You never objected to anything I had to say.

I expected better of you.

This is amazing. The discovery, the method, the data...

It's marvellous to see things like that crop up. The data of the rest of the world. Helps you remember how many cool things are out there.

...and your background in physics gives a whole new level of justification to being called "Heisenberg"...

...or "Oppenheimer". Depends entirely on your illegal career of choice.

Still looking for a job that's at least marginally related to my skills and interests, but half-heartedly. It's hard to stave off apathy about it.

How do you feel about a goatee and doing something illegal?

i haven't been feeling my best lately, but i'm trying

So, I'm not sure how welcome what I have to say is, but:

Sometimes, trying is all you can do. Sometimes, doing something isn't an option. Sometimes, you have to lie in bed all day and let your energy and mood fill themselves back up.

Best wishes. I'm sure things would turn out better soon. Like, Italy? Holy shit. That oughtta turn them brain cogs around.

What kind of design?

Robert Frost said that "home is where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in"

Familial obligation doesn't equate to familial support. Experiencing that at the moment.

...wow. Did "Don't be so cynical" hit a nerv? I was sure I'm talking to a reasonable, thoughtful person.

oh brother

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Defining dignity isn't the problem. The problem is making so many people adopt the value despite their own highly-complex lives that leave little desire for pain and discomfort. It takes a certain amount of wisdom to share good with others regardless of one's own suffering.

The problem is making people see value in that.
