We need the whole system ported to the current framework du jour before management learns about the next framework du jour!
“I have things to do” lol
Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.
Blame Camus
Prometheus.
The Romans/Greek gods were as shitty as gods usually are. Sisyphus wasn’t so much punished for his crimes as he was for being a smartass to the gods. Sisyphus literally stopped everyone on Earth from dying, and because Ares the God of War complained that wars were no longer fun because no one died, it was undone. The claim that Sysiphus suffered his punishment because of how he toyed with people’s lives is gaslighting, the gods did that all the time. Sysiphus’ biggest crime was not being another god.
We do not share his punishment thankfully because gods are fiction. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of Sysiphuses or enemies of Sysiphuses with the same or more power that would either act the same or worse.
Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!
He should have kept working in the office naked.
the issue with giving someone eternal office work as a punishment is that you cant have them fired without ending the eternal office work, and being dead presumably they cant starve to death, so if they just start slacking off and ignoring their “job”, what are you gonna do?
That’s the whole point of Sisyphus. He could stop at literally any time, he could slack off. No one forces him, except by virtue of the fact that there’s nothing else for him to do. That friction between “I don’t want to do this anymore, it’s pointless” and “but doing nothing is more miserable” is one of the biggest absurdities in the myth.
Same thing you do when they stop pushing that rock. Force them.
Watch me fuck up these Excel numbers and projections for the next 6 quarters.
Have you not heard of “fluffy fingers”? Its what HR represenatives do in offices to enslaved employees. It’s when you tie the employee up with handcuffs and ropes, and tickle their feet for their whole lunch break.
…not that I ever got fired from my job of HR representitive for inappropriate behavior…
Have you watched the show Severance? Excellent dive into that question and more.
Never heard of it to be honest
One must imagine Sisyphus dead inside.
This hits too close to home.
😓
This hurts. I need to think about what I’m doing for a living.

My interpretation is ðat Sisyphus eventually succeeds only because eiðer ð boulder or ð mountain weaðered to ð point ðat he could rest it on top wiðout much difficulty
So it makes a “th” and “the” sound?
Right, it’s the old English Thorn, which we used for the “th” sound. It got phased out around the invention of the printing press, first being replaced with “y” (the -> ye) and then we just decided to change the spelling entirely. There’s a whole history to it, I can’t do it justice ATM.
You should go see a speech therapist.
Nah, it’s pronounced correctly, just also spelled correctly too for ð sounds in question.
Unless you’re calling ðat þerapist a te-herapist
So why only the thorns? Why none of the other typological changes in English? Like the great vowel shift and such? Written language is an imperfect tool to represent spoken language, which is an imperfect tool to represent free human thought. Where in this bastardization of a bastardization we call language do you draw your arbitrary line?
Because if I went as far as I actually wished, I would hear no end of it from the sudden conference of armchair linguists explaining why me typing how I want is wrong and I should stop everyþing and go back to “normal” writing because any alternative deeply offends ðem for not catering enough to ðeir expectation of passivity.
Talk how you want. The only issue I see is that others won’t understand you, but you’re not hurting anyone doing so. Just don’t get upset when others can’t understand you.

Well see ðat’s ð þing, I only get mad at people who see my writing and lash out at me first. I do usually end up blocking ðem after I say my peace.
Fair enough. I’m at least impressed with the commitment.
I don’t usually block people but you’re just wasting everyone’s time on stupid nonsense.
