What if you get stuck in a for-loop, doing the same thing every day until a certain condition is met..but that condition never comes.  No thanks, I'll stick to real life.  Welp, gotta be up for work in an hour, but I can't sleep.  Guess it's another round of YouTube videos for ol Propagandhim.  :-\

Sometimes, when I'm at a low point at work, I wish I could have a job where someone dumped a bunch of forms in my inbox in the morning and all I had to do was process them to an outbox by the end of the day. No thought required, no decisions, just data processing.

Then I realise I would be bored senseless after an hour and want to throw myself off the top of a building.

Being CPU 0 would suck

Being CPU 7 would be pretty chill, just stare at CPU 0 doing everything

To be dominated by me is not as bad for human pride as to be dominated by others of your species.

that's pretty cool! never saw or felt interested in Battlestar Galactica before. I remember it getting criticized with the plot not really making logical sense but maybe I'd like that? would it work if I approached it as like a spiritual Eva-like thing

(the reason I bumped this out of order is that I wrote the reply days and days ago, but couldn't come up with a satisfying way to word it so I just left it open as one of the 748568584838 tabs on my phone. while clearing out tabs I came across it and decided fuck it YOLO)
