    lol professions often require you constantly be reviewing and keeping up to date with meaningful changes in the field

    Real life may actually require you to keep on learning 🫨

    I swear it feels like people genuinely want the wall-e chairs

      Not opposing education in any way. But I wish it serves the purpose of welfare for good people and not to work under any pedo.

      I do want the Wall-E chairs, but I would never actually accept them. It’s like how I want a 20-liter bucket of fettuccine Alfredo, but I would never accept and eat one.

        Are you sure you’re not confusing what a want is with something that you don’t want?

        For example you actually don’t want a wall-e chair because you would never actually accept one. Similarly, you don’t actually want a 20-liter bucket of fettuccine Alfredo because, again, you would never accept it.

        A want is something you’d actually like to have so if you wouldn’t accept it that sounds like something you don’t want to have…

          I want a world where I can use those things without doing irreparable damage to my body and mind. I can fantasize about them when divorced from the practicalities.

            Even if we removed the health effects…sitting in a wall-e chair chugging Alfredo sauce is being irreparably damaged in body and mind

            You can also just do that already by staring at your phone all day and eating processed food

              sitting in a wall-e chair chugging Alfredo sauce

              This is an unfair and libelous depiction of my utopia where I sit in a Wall-E chair chugging Alfredo sauce with, I’ll thank you to remember, fettuccine noodles mixed in.
