Finally checked out the Murderbot series on Apple. Not bad for an adaptation of a book that's largely about hacking and internal anguish. If anyone hasn't read the books yet, they're amazing.

    I had the same problem on midwest.social, but a request of the admin to add it as a language for the instance was all it took to resolve. Try contacting the .ml admins, goodness knows there's plenty of Hispanophone Marxists.

    I still get replies to questions I asked on reddit most of a decade ago that never got fully answered, and I really appreciate the people that make that effort.

    tiring having 2 personalities?

    I personally find it very calming. Personal me doesn't need to worry about interactions that work me had. Similarly, work me doesn't worry about all the stuff in my personal life, allowing me to focus on work.

    It helps me read faster, but IDK what effect it has on comprehension in a longer text. If I struggled to read I might be tempted to try it, but thankfully that's not one of my many issues.

    but they bore me. And engaging EVERY topic? I disagree: to extroverts this comes naturally, effortless whereas I have to consciously engage and listen to a boring story. To me this is like a second job of top of my duties.

    Yes, you will occasionally be bored at work. Yes, socializing is a form of work for us introverts. But what you don't seem to get is that this isn't a second job; it's part of the main job.

    One person's "getting to the point" is another person's "stripping away context", unfortunately. Sometimes we just have to suffer through a long anecdote because the speaker can't separate the relevant and irrelevant parts themself. They're not trying to waste our time, they just organize information differently.
