tss93on A proposal to classify happiness as a psychiatric disorder

Usually I don’t do math of sums, just let the happiness be and then fade or sadness or any other. Just grew to be ok with nothingness, cos I had a tendency of pushing towards sadness when I am not happy and then its like a pendulum and me riding it

tss93on A proposal to classify happiness as a psychiatric disorder (1992)

The critique feels valid to me. There’s a tendency in modern psychology/media to pathologize the average human baseline: if you’re not consistently optimistic and thriving, something must be wrong with you, or at least you need to be in a pursuit of this.

But constant happiness isn’t realistic, it’s like a desire to be permanently high. From my own experience I’ve landed somewhere near the Buddhist framing: the healthy default is just calm and neutral, with happiness and sadness coming and going away.

Trying to force happiness as a permanent state seems like its own problem, which is kind of what Bentall is pointing at from the other direction.

tss93on Ask HN: Did you find any job boards not flooded with spam?

Yea, I end up in greenhouse/level anyway, and then I am in the same ATS as 100+ more automatic CV's, and then I get a generic rejection

Also, it feels some companies are not even hiring for those roles, so the effort of manually applying is kinda useless.

Got ghosted after the automatic (now it seems it was automatic) test assignment. I spend like half day to make a Python script, analyse the data make a report... and then crickets

tss93on Ask HN: Thinking about Leaving Gmail

I am using cloudflare free email forwarding (https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/email-forwarding) and I also moved my domain to Cloudflare as it was cheaper then Namecheap.

Ive set it up so mail from my domain is forwarded to my free gmail account.
