I don't even hate my job, it's the long hours and the attitude of my coworkers that kills me inside.
I work 10 hours per day, 5 days a week. That's 50 hours on a 40 hour contract and only 10 additional hours per month are paid overtime. Do I get a thank you for working so many hours for free? No. I get asked why I haven't come in on Saturdays and Sundays lately. Because most of my older coworkers also work Saturdays and Sundays, despite the office being officially closed. Some don't take a single day off all month, clocking in at 60+ hours per week because apparently "that's what you do if you care about your job".
It's made me realise that I really don't care about my job and that some people just live to be exploited.

I liked it but then the chorus happened...

I just prefer something more like this

Er... Whatever floats people's boats I guess.
To me it just looks like a heart attack waiting to happen and not very appetising either because it's s completely burnt.

Why is Greenland not here?
Because it lists countries by land area rather than total area. About 80% of Greenland is covered by an ice shield and they likely substracted that.
Bit silly imo.

It is not that remakes and sequels are necessarily bad, it is just that they are making stupid changes to update them to "modern audiences". Like for example with this particular film from what I am hearing they removed all the agency from prince Eric, he is unimportant in this.
They are also about to drop a new Indiana Johns movies where a younger female counterpart is better than him in every way and lectures him about stealing from indegenous people. Like who's gonna want to watch a movie where your favorite hero is being brought down constantly.
Sounds suspiciously like the Star Wars sequels.

I wonder what they're gonna do once they've remade everything... Start the next round of remakes? And they aren't even particularly good remakes at that. They're neither faithful to the source material nor do they add anything new or interesting to those well known stories.
I was also far from impressed by the trailer. I saw it in 3d when I went to watch Guardians of the Galaxy and all the characters looked like a bunch of floating cardboard cutouts.

Oh god, I read that as he "is nice". I'll see myself out and go to bed.

Im just glad I decided against pursuing a career in art (illustrator) a few years ago.

It's about 50/50 really.
I recently even read a book about physics. And despite never having been good at physics at school I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think if a teacher had presented physics in the way the author did (with obvious passion for the subject rather than an air of "none of you idiots will ever grasp these concepts anyway") I would have been motivated to study a lot harder.

Yeah, me too unfortunately.
I hate when that happens, but it's difficult to avoid sometimes. An unexpected phone call can suffice.

Neurotypical here and much of what you write sound very familiar to be honest.
I myself can't listen to music on public transport for example or really anywhere where there's other people around. Listening to music is a very personal experience for me and crowded places stress me out so much I simply can't focus enough on the music.
I can't listen to music on my way to work either, because I'd then start to associate those songs with all the negative emotions I feel, so I only ever listen to music on my way home.
I also associate sounds with colours so some songs "feel" purple for example (no, not BTS songs), while others might feel yellow or green to me etc.
So I guess I can only truly enjoy music when I'm alone in a place I feel comfortable and when I know I won't be interrupted.
