yesterday i was working from home cuz we got the day off, but we can use floating holidays so i was like i'll work and then take my bday off
and i was like aw yeah i'm gonna get so much done, i have so much to do, but today is all set, sunday i made a good plan and a to do list, was productive with life stuff and reading sunday, i had no meetings or distractions, no commute
and then i started my day off in a distracted manner with internet
and i managed to get a bit of work done but mostly i just clicked around the internet for the entire day
i couldn't break the loop
according to rescue time, i barely spent like 25% of my time on my computer on work (that is, even having the work document being the focus of my screen)
and according to my phone when i went to bed i spent 6.5 hours on my phone too
Accidentally committing suicide by trying to take a selfie, I tried to consider the philosophical implications there and my brain did the equivalent of turning two mirrors to face each other.

Stan Lee must really be wondering why he is in a Christian version of the afterlife.
He was Jewish right? What huge differences are there between Jewish and Christian heaven other than Jesus being the reason for the season?
It's a LOT more vague since there isn't a lot of focus on what is to come rather than how you live your life in the world, is how I always understood it.
Like, what is to come is supposedly better, but bright lights and pearly gates and whatnot are trappings of pop christianity not supported by any kind of text.

The fill valve in my toilet is spraying water when I flush, so it dribbles down the side of the tank. Not too bad, and hopefully a simple replacement.
I assume it's cracked from the tectonic force of me dropping ass

Also, "what is to come" can just as easily describe the post-messianic era and the resurrection of the dead as it does any concept of an afterlife.
Honestly I am a fan of religions that shrug towards things they can't be certain of. It's endearing as opposed to folks who say they know exactly what exists beyond the unknown.

I had been feeling detached interest and or indignace about the whole matter. Something big happened, it's interesting and indignance over the stupid errors likely done
But today seeing the pictures of if going fully under I felt a sharp pang of sadness
On Nov. 12, 1970, two infamous characters were given life in Oregon.
On the same day Oregon engineers used dynamite to remove a beached whale's carcass from an Oregon beach, figure skater Tonya Harding was born in a Portland hospital. Both characters would inspire awe through their sheer power, and both rose to and fell from grace, leaving behind a trail of debris that would captivate people for decades to come.

jewish iconography generally would not portray the sort of direct, physical interaction invested in christian art and eschatology. there are of course holy figures who communed, historically, but there's far more of a uh, brightness. most observant jews would not think of just, speaking with yahweh. it's a staring at the sun sort of reverence.
There are stories about God opening the Earth and swallowing people who pissed him off. Gehenna is the term that is usually used. Judaism is more focused on the, "don't get struck by lightning because you fucked up." Its a more focus on living not on what happens when you die.
You do get the messianic stuff where when God comes to Earth and lands the temple he resurrects the Jews to sit at his right hand as his eternal bureaucracy.

Right - the post-messianic era is definitely a state change in the world according to the faith, but it's not a classic "heaven" as it were.
I honestly place that stuff alongside the Book of Revelation as a metaphor-strewn prophecy of its time rather than something guaranteed to transpire at some point.

Its more "God shall resurrect Jews and they shall sit at his right hand." It always seemed to me we run the "eternal government" thing by sitting at God's right hand. We are the Court aka the bureaucracy.

cicadian shit must be real because i do not understand people who are night owls by choice. there is some fundamental, broad schism between them and i. middle of the night is the most useless, shitty stretch of time there's ever been. what a waste of hours in a day.
There aren't any people late at night though, it's great.
We are no longer going to use the kilogram as the true unit of measurement for kg any more. Come the 16th, we will rely on pure math instead of the physical object.
End of a fuckin' era.
Also, this paragraph blew my mind:
Le Grand K has proved this point itself. Although the kilogram is made of one of the most stable alloys known to science and treated with reverential care — it has sat, undisturbed, in the same location for almost its entire life, encased in a trio of vacuum-sealed bell jars — it has also, inexplicably, been losing weight.
During ceremonial weigh-ins that take place every few decades, when reference copies of the International Prototype Kilogram are flown in from around the world and compared to their distinguished forebear, the IPK has been found to have lost around 50 micrograms in mass, roughly equal to a single eyelash. Of course, because the IPK is the definition of the kilogram, it can’t technically lose or gain weight. Instead, it’s more accurate to say that the rest of the world has been getting slightly heavier.
I am glad to know it is not my binge drinking and overeating that has caused this dilemma. Thanks, science!

judaism is very focused on living a meaningful and good life. thinking about it now, the afterlife is not a popular question in judaism. that's pretty amazing. i don't mean that in an ass kissing way, where judaism is better. it's just remarkable to me, raised for most of my life now in a culture where eternal communion with god and his grace is this ineffable, ultimate desire. because as time goes on, the question of the jewish afterlife is talked about less and less (ime, in both israel and america). everything is about mitzvahs. the closest thing to a jewish heaven i heard discussed in my ultra orthodox upbringing was a realm where the righteous just continue their study and practice of judaism. so meme-y that the best outcome a jew can hope for is to be a better jew forever and ever.
