State management seems a bit counter intuitive at a glance.
I found this statement to be confusing; https://vanjs.org/tutorial#state-val-is-immutableWhile you can update State objects by setting the val property, you should never mutate the underlying object of val itself.
Then beneath is an example of the following;
const text = van.state("VanJS")
...
input({type: "text", value: text, oninput: e => text.val = e.target.value})
Which looks like a mutation - after reading a bit more around it is clearer that .val has a setter; but at a glance it just isn't obvious what is happening which I feel isn't intuitive.
States are mutable whose value can be get/set via the ".val" property. However, the value of the states should be (ideally) an immutable object (or primitives).
The burnout game is hard, you absolutely should tell your work about it. If they can't support you, you then need to decide what works best for you. But remember, you can always make money - health is fleeting.
Yes, I am in the same boat here. It feels like there is always a new iOS or Android version being released which always manages to break a feature on my app and sheds months off of my life.
If you want to live a healthier health style, you will naturally gravitate to it. Start off by trying to get your 10k steps in a day. After you have begun to shift your mindset you will start to find yourself naturally wanting to get into it.
I got into powerlifting over 2 years ago and I have not looked back since. I got myself a PT/Strength coach, and to meet my goals I had to expand my knowledge to fill my daily needs, fix my sleep habits and manage my stress.
Don't focus too hard on the exercise / food, you need to change your whole mindset. It's a journey!
My solution to burn out was to go down to part-time; I have been incredibly fortunate that my work place supported my decision to go down to 4 days a week, with the option to do 3 days for 3-6 months and keep my full pay - I was not expecting this.
A huge amount of western industrialized life is built upon wage slavery, the constant threat of being made homeless at gunpoint if one does not work long hours at a completely shitty job.
It takes a LOT of garbage haulers, floor sweepers, line cooks, dishwashers, and the like to keep our society humming along.
It's ostensibly voluntary, so not the same thing as in TFA, but close.
There is also a huge amount of slave labor used in the US's world-leading prison population. Slavery was never really abolished in the US, just limited to prisoners. Correspondingly, the number of black people in prison skyrocketed.
So, so much suffering. The worst part is that we all support this global system of inequality with every purchase and every vote. It is the inescapable consequence of "more for me."
It can be simultaneously true that men have systemic problems with Eg. A higher completed suicide rate (women attempt suicide more often, but men chose deadlier methods when attempting) and also that women are also oppressed on multiple other axis that are also important to evaluate and support, such as women having significantly higher risks of being sexually assaulted and being significantly higher risk of being subjected to being a victim of sex trafficking and sex slavery.
I do think it merits a serious investigation as to why so many men are undersocialized and unable to be vulnerable and intimate outside of a relationship, which in turn forces relationships to essentially be their therapy (which is deeply unhealthy and codependent). But doing a men vs women thing is a distraction from focusing on men.
Ah right, so men-on-men violence, it doesn’t count? Because all men are pigs, right?
Are you asserting that women can’t do anything about it? Try harder: In 1914, they demonstrated so that single men go to war, because they wanted to be protected.
And up to today, the men who date are the ones who are feminist, ie the ones who require other men to do things for women. When it’s men-on-men violence, it’s often in the name of women, who will complacently benefit from, for example, men establishing a large company at the expense of the people who were overworked.
The ones who date men do turn a blind eye on the competition men face at work, as long as they have a nice date, a nice holiday together or a nice family. But all those require to be at ease with money, risk bankruptcy for those who create a company, truck accidents for those who work day and night, shootings for those who enter a big drug coup, and cardiac arrest at 45 for office jobs. And god forbid, not annoy the missus with those “details”. It’s just risks we’re talking about, why bother her before they are realized.
That should probably read "rich people", because while, yes, it was usually men doing the dirty work of enslaving other men, it was usually rich families who reaped the rewards.
That doesn't make it right, easy to address or something to dismiss.
The feminist movement showed that it is possible to address gender roles and inequities in society without it being a zero-sum game. Some men have noticed.
> I want to know why these folks won't LEAVE shitty redneck states and head to places with more opportunity.
Sometimes you just don't know any better, or you're stuck for what ever other reason. I am 100% certain if it was easier to walk away from situations, anyone really would.
Regardless, congratulations on being sober for 22 years.
