Do enough just to get by C/D ?

Whatever you put your hand to, do it with all your might. I am sure you've seen how this applies to masturbation. Start putting to work in the rest of your life.

coming from a person called Aimless

If doing enough just to get by keeps you (and any dependants) happy, then fuck 'em. If it's secretly eating away at your soul that you should be doing more, then don't fuck 'em.

There's also this thread:

Taking it easy as over-riding life principal: c or d?

Perhaps there is some wisdom there.

yeah it's harder for me to work than other people. I have to deal with tons of crap and It affects me more than lots of people. I just rather have peace of mind -- meaning I don't do as much school work as I should and I avoid confrontation sometimes. I'm probably not the only ilxor with mental issues.

You get out of things what you put in them. I think that's pretty much true.

Aimless, Dan Savage is all the time harping on how masturbating (male) with a "death grip on your penis," can make it really hard to get off with only the "more subtle sensations" of a vagina (Maqc Almond to thredd? but maybe not this one?).

seuss lol

see: lazy zing thread

see: lazy zing thread

how mature would that be. we'd be better off with a poll [lazy/not lazy]. either way I shouldn't expect insight on certain topics. but, since abbott is correct, go right ahead with the zings, I won't stop you.

The question is irrelevant, by and large. GI/GO.

"seuss lol" What means it?

No, Cpnlrx, there is a thread that compiles examples of "lazy zings" like "lol jaymc.xls" or obvious things to pick on, not zings about those who prefer to be lazy.

he was saying 'lol u have naem of Dr. Seuss character," which is abt as big a zing as "lol u wearing a backpack to school" or "way to have hair" or something.

Different definitions of 'getting by' apply though.

Once we were content with having a full stomach, grooming and idly wondering where our next banana was coming from. Now us smart monkeys have higher expectations of what the basic life involves.

A lot of ambitious people are real jerks, y'know?

And there's no such thing as "wasting" time.

I agree w/that, spending as much time as I do staring idly into space in reverie and all.

Do what you do, man. Just maybe don't expect to be friends with people to whom it's important to make things happen, etc. Or at least expect to have sweeping disagreements of approach/scale with them, and figure out a way to deal with it.

I mean, personally I think it's a dud as the question is framed, but as you mention that you deal with "tons of crap" maybe your priorities lie there.

I'd rather work hard at things I give a shit about, and be up front about not giving a shit about the other stuff. It simplifies expectations a whole lot.

Yeah, I agree with the lot of you. Sucks though, that a friend I've had for a few years tries to change me since he mentions how much he hates Jehovah's Witnesses and all. His definition of 'for the better' is different than mine and I wish he would accept that because when he calls me lazy and etcetera it comes off as spite rather than a helping hand to change to be a more proactive person. (He's a wise-ass and spite is befitting of him I believe).

Another thing someone mentioned when I talked about this with them is that some people think they are better than you because they don't watch tv. This isn't directly related but I see parallels.

yeah, i know what this thread is about. i don't wanna work any harder at anything than i have to. i just don't really give a shit, and i can't see why i should. i just wanna jack off and eat doritos and get drunk and listen to wham!.

Depends on the goal. If it's a uni course and you only need to pass, only do what it takes to pass comfortably.

I finished a degree in June by doing what was required plus a bit more. If extra work was explicitly labelled "HD work," I didn't bother with it. 40 hours for another 6% of the mark? No thanks. In the end I got a degree and a ~72% average, which is what I wanted.

If you're working your way up in a company or writing a book, give it everything you've got, for obvious reasons. It's all about the goal.

Crap I need a wanky suit and a mic strapped to my face for that drivel.

Apropos of nothing, I am so using "way to have hair" as an insult from now on.

What do Jehovah's Witnesses have to do with anything? Have a birthday, already. Go to someone else's wedding. Live a little.
