for me it’s more the claustrophobia. the increasing dread of not being able to get out of a labyrinthine space. I’ve literally had nightmares like this, lost and trapped in some winding fancy hotel hallways…

Nosferatu is a remake, not original. But yeah it was pretty decent.

This. As someone with a humanities degree, I can tell you it’s not something that really shows up much when scrolling through pages and pages and pages and pages of job listings. It’s almost always something technical, or something like nursing. You’re lucky you stuck with the CS degree long enough to find what sounds like a decent job with non-shitty managers.

What people usually tell us starving artists and philosophers is to find a “real” job (like a trade skill or tech skill) and do our artsy interest as a side hustle or hobby. There are historically many authors and artists who’ve had to live this reality, unfortunately. That’s capitalism for you.

am a simple noob who started with Mint, and remain on Mint on my main gaming machine.

i have fun distro-hopping on my other old, cheap laptops though
