neocities is rather unique in its format, part social platform, part indie web. the lack of financial incentive is blessing and curse, as there is little content on here which would have monetary value, even the most popular sites.

it is, in some ways, one of the few routes of online "rebellion" (commoditizing everything) in a tongue-in-cheek reflection

i use a "mx master" myself and haven't had button issues... yet. have had many mice that lasted shorter.

it's time to upgrade to a wacom tablet for scrolling

most religions can b deconstructed as the desire for permanent happiness, which is impossible here or anywhere else. even prolonged states of bliss must come to an end. thus the seeking of the profoundly religious and drug addicts are essentially the same

...I always thought that most of them were about seeking to understand truths beyond transitory emotions or social conditions. Indeed, seeking a "permanent bliss" for oneself alone and without consideration of the conditions that facilitate it is empty.

the telos of most religion is about getting to heaven, jannah, sagga, etc. going to the toilet is more important tbh

None of those are "places" as such, but dualistic states of mind...One can meet immediate needs in the short-term, have purposeful goals in the long-term, *and* be overcome by neither.

perhaps it is impossible...

power anywhere in the world is based on 關係. the desire to rise above one's station in society, was taught by society. yearning for change, but everything stays the same.

Ah, you see clearly how the two are interconnected. The ideas of "competition", "hierarchy", and "classes" are not only what make "work-life" a burden, they are also what make "sex-life" a burden. Ideas and actions are imposed without consent, an acceptance and reciprocation that is voluntary. Likewise, expectations can only be met when they are shared openly and are equitable in nature.

Partnership is collaboration on shared goals that are both meaningful to each and mutually beneficial in practice, not focused on selfish hedonism and striving for "hypergamy". If someone is constantly seeking out another who is "younger", "sexier", "richer", or some other objectifying metric rooted in comparison, then there is no commitment to sustaining the relationship itself.

"Work" is unbearable for the exact same reasons. I do not exist simply for the "production of profit", and abuse is wrong whether it is done in the "workplace" or at "home". Reducing relationships to transactions and trying to "gain power" at the expense of others will always make for superficial, yet painful, interactions. What do we value most, life or "ownership"?
