Thank you, although I'm just a master of none... Yes, I imagine looking for a job with a philosophy degree is limiting. On TikTok, I've noticed some recent graduates working on self-made projects (magazines, private classes, etc.). That's a creative solution that I hope works out for them.

I'm sick and tired of this Reddit-ass kind of "advice" meant only for neurotypical white men. Male defaultism is one of many things we should not import here.

Too late... Or maybe it was already like this before we migrated from Reddit. Comments are very black-and-white and tend to favor men over women, STEM over other fields (just read the comments here), global north over global south, etc. It's obvious who the majority is and how biased the opinions are.

It is funny because Lemmy is the leftiest site I know, and still these problems are invisible.

I didn't graduate in philosophy, but the little I know about it is useful every single day.

I guess monetary success is capricious in philosophy; they all cannot be Chomsky or Žižek (because unfortunately intellectual stardom is reserved for a few by definition in any given field). Also, academic environments are depressingly unfair and are influenced by ridiculous factors more than they should. But is money all there is to life for someone that most likely loves to learn, to ponder, to explore? Answers might vary among them.

Communities for news, papers, and general conversation around humanities and social sciences. Communities for underground music (e.g., goth music).

My first Nicole message was today. You'll join the club eventually.

They already got half of it in the 1800s. 1900s were busy times. The 2000s are for northern expansion: Canada and Greenland. God bless Donald Trump /s.

I love rainy and cold weather, but it's a little obvious now that autumn and winter are bad months for me, while I thrive in spring and summer. I wish it was the other way around because I expect autumn and winter with such joy. In addition to the weather, I love the festivities around death and darkness, the winter reunions, and I have important birthdays in those months. But almost every year I spend these holidays/celebrations with some apathy. My writing slows down. I sleep more, eat more, but it's nowhere as enjoyable as in spring and summer. So I can imagine that some people feel energized in the all-year-round hot places. Silly, but even if my body is healthy, I do not like spring and summer. I hate the clothing, I hate sunburns, I hate to feel thirsty... But at least I get the energy to hate and rant about it and not just shrug. It feels better. I should be thankful for the light and warmth, and I'm trying to like these seasons a little bit more.

I just commented this to some other person here. I'll paste my answer; I hope that's okay.

China, India, Peru, and Mexico, to name a few, have deeper and larger canyons. A similar one to the Grand Canyon is the Copper Canyon. It is located in Chihuahua, Mexico. It is four times larger and almost twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. It has many tourists' activities, and you can even add other destinations to your journey if you visit it by train. It is a nice option while we all wait for the end of the almost-fascist/probably-fascist situation in the U.S.

Depression be scrambling my braincells like an egg 😓

Exercise (even simple stretching or a small walk), good sleep, and good diet (supplementation if needed) clear my brain fog a little. Depending on the cause of my brain fog, caffeine can help too.

Also, spite. A German acquaintance tells me that their family is going to vote for the AfD to punish their current government. In my opinion, Harris lost because of similar actions—citizens trying to teach a lesson or punish their party for not being what they want it to be (which is a reasonable wish, but I'm not sure about the action). Argentina also had some resentful voters that led to the clown in power today.
