A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.
It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.

I kinda tricked myself into liking running by making a game of how long I could put up with the discomfort and feeling out of breath. Now I no longer feel out of breath, and it sometimes feels actually… good?? I don’t know if I just became inured to the sensation, or if I’m just fitter.

I thought this about myself and then I watch some old shit like Seven Samurai and I am sitting up straight eyes wide taking it all in.
But yeah, there’s no law against just not liking any of it.
1 screen it, or try to be ok missing things.
If we’re going to define it like that then hell ya I’m conservative as fuck
