Things which affect how valleidaemonicity:
- Slack: Do you have the money/time/freedom/energy to follow your desires?
- People: Is it safe for you to express your valleities? Will they be seen as demands/judged?
- Self: Will YOU judge yourself for your trying to articulate?

I'd like to propose the adjective "velleidaemonic" to describe environments/ways of being which are conducive to recognising/fulfilling your velleities.

(I'm open to other words, I just think it's a useful concept)

What are some fun things to do in New York and London which are not just seeing tourist destinations?

E.g. I'll go to Broadway and West End, but probably not Statue of Liberty or Buckingham Palace.

fr one week of holidays with my family (incl. a 6 month old and a 2 year old) has made me much less keen on having kids.

this feels like an over-update but i don't have any evidence yet to NOT update this far

And to me that's the entire POINT of a marriage (this and the commitment to stay together to raise kids).

People sometimes talk about having limited time marriages. I can see some of the benefits, but I think this is a really important feature which you would lose.

The main difference between creating with my wife and creating with other colleagues is a felt sense of long time horizons.

There's a sense that what we do together is for all eternity, not just for right now.

I thought I was uncovering some deep dark dissatisfaction with my life but maybe I was just getting sick

@doubtshrine@stoat.zone lol dammit I didn't mean this pun

Taiwan bus drivers open the door before they've fully stopped, which is a level of efficiency I can get onboard with

Who do I know who is going to vibecamp? Is there like a list or something?

Do I know anyone who could sell me a vibecamp ticket? I'm trying to negotiate with work but there's a possibility I could make it.

to extrapolate, this means i need to be able to carry around kronos, the imprisoned titan, for seconds; and a little toy doll for days.

I don't know if this is part of the definition of the dad bod but my brother is looking pretty fit from having to carry around a toddler like half of the time we're out.

There is no expected response time to replies. You can reply whenever you want. We're all shouting into the void, when the void shouts back it is a gift not an expectation.
