One of the worlds greatest wonders
A courtyard of bamboo and late-night snow
a lone lantern a book on the table
if I hadn’t encountered the teaching of no effort
how else could I have gained this life of leisure

Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?English4·1 month agoYeah the Anglocentrism is super unfortunate. Speaking as an European. Though I don’t really like hanging out on the internet with people from my country though lol
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?English3·1 month agoTrust me, I’m trying! But still, it doesn’t cover everything.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?English2·1 month agoYes, fully agreed! Yeah at the moment I need to save money, but working less, like 80% seems like a great thing. If one works 80% then one can rotate the days so every other week is a 4-day weekend. Luckily I have no co-dependants at least
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?English2·1 month agoThanks for the book rec but as I mentioned in other comments, I know that there won’t be a job which I’ll enjoy doing 8 hours a day for the rest of my life. I even enjoy my current job sometimes, but I still rather be without it if it was possible. And I’ve also tried different sectors already… Either way, I’ll check out the book.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?English2·1 month agoCan’t say I have large issues with my job tbh. It’s fine. I sometimes even enjoy it. But yeah, I’d rather not have a job at all if the world was made like that.

Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?English1·1 month agoFor sure. I have a steady meditative practice, but still, it takes a long time to change one’s mind and it’s easy to forget…
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?English3·1 month agoI don’t really hate my job to be honest. It’s just that, no matter what I’d do for pay, it will never be anything I really want to do. I’d rather spend my spare time pursuing whatever studies, hobbies, exercise or random leisure I really want to do. Capitalizing on your interests doesn’t lead to anything good, at least for me. People always say, “try to find your dream job!” but for some people, there will never be. Because capitalism and 40 hour work weeks are unnatural in itself. But yes, mindfulness and meditation is key, still.
Bed at 21-21:30, up 5:30 the latest pretty much everyday. Usually work out or study things I want in the morning. I really love early weekend mornings, such calm!
I mean, 8 hours is more than enough? I’m way younger but always sleep 8 hours more or less. I don’t care about sleeping in and getting up 5 AM is an amazing feeling for me.

Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you browse the fediverse at work?English18·2 months agoOuff great call! Then I’ll just keep browsing on my phone.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you browse the fediverse at work?English12·2 months agoI do a lot of personal surfing on my work computer… But in my country the employer isn’t allowed to track what I do on the computer as long as I haven’t committed a crime 🤷
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some things that you appreciate about the modern-day world?English161·2 months agoThe information superhighway as we called this thing way back when. Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, Gutenberg, free MOOCs, shadow libraries and what not are a godsend.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s with the porn without the nsfw tags on lemmy.sdf.org recently?English1·2 months agoSame here! I never used /r/all on reddit either. Just found places organically and sometimes intentionally.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s with the porn without the nsfw tags on lemmy.sdf.org recently?English1·2 months agoI try to find communities named after the same subreddit, and I subscribe to trendingcommunities@feddit.nl which I can recommend.
Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s with the porn without the nsfw tags on lemmy.sdf.org recently?English51·2 months agoMy subscribed communities? Yes, there’s a lack of content in general but I’m content by filtering what I’m interested in. I’m not on here all day
I’d say a fair idea is to host your own personal website with your resume, if you’re capable and/or want to learn. There are often examples you can base your portfolio on.
