To put life into perspective

I don't shower before work.
- We know.
  
  Yeah, his hair isn't fucked up and over washed like yours.
- Me neither before I start my day as a therapist at a hyperosmia treatment facility

Great, now instead of just anxiety and depression, I also have massive existential dread
- Don't worry, none of this will matter after the heat death of the universe.
  
  You won't matter long, long before that.
- you know who else has that? most people around you
  talk to others, recognize the difficulties you share, organize, and reclaim your rights.

Proof the government is spying on us

I just cry at work to be efficient
- Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime That's why cry I on company time

Who took this picture?!?!
- Doesn’t matter cameraman never dies

can confirm, im in the pixel beside that (88.6 light years away from earth)

And don't forget that our galaxy is just a tiny tiny speck in the universe.

Great, thanks for telling the entire milky way galaxy!

I don’t have a job. Idk what am I doing with life tbh. I should be coding as I am naturally good at it and it’s fun but… procrastination
- Find something else to do and focus all that energy on that thing, you'll start to procrastinate and that's when you start coding.
  
  That’s relatable haha I wish it was that consistent. Deadlines make me do 3d modelling in blender maybe I need some 3d modelling deadline and then I will code for 10 hours in ecstasy then completely forget about anything for a week then panic then feel guilty then switch to „I want to be an artist” mode after which is I want to be a game developer mode, and then there is I want to be a mobile developer mode
  I am entry knowledge level at sooo many things. Maybe if ai assistants materialise in sufficient form it will be era for people like me that know a little bit of everything but lack the willpower and consistency to ever master anything.
  This week is a music artist week for me I am producing stuff in Ableton maybe it isn’t good but it is the only thing that makes sense right now

How old is the joke about crying in the shower before work? Was it a more popular thing to do then than now? Do we have more to cry about now, but cry less often because we're numb? What about people with bathtubs but no showers? Why am I crying? Why is Jamie crying?
- Look at Mr. Moneybags here who can afford to cry in the shower! I bet he has warm water too!
- What is crying?
  What is?

I’m in Andromeda?
- OMG we're gonna crash!

Freezing in the shower because the hot water heater took a shit.

How do you know where I am?

It's also the only place that has life in that vast desert of stars with empty rocks orbiting them.
Edit: funny how this turns into a "I want to believe" session
- How do you know? It's like you sampled a thimble full of water from the ocean and concluded that whales don't exist.
  
  Some astrophysicist are saying that. And like they say: it's never aliens.
- That would be very surprising if it were true, considering the incomprehensively vast numbers of stars and planets out there. I wonder what the equivalent of crying in the shower would be for some alien though? Maybe that is our unique trait.
  
  If it were not true then that would be the actual surprise. The probability for life to form has been computed over and over during the past century, incorporating ever more gains in scientific knowledge, and it is on the order of 10^-100, meaning that there likely is no other life in at least our galaxy.
  
  But so far chances of intelligent life seem to be vanishingly small and using those numbers we get one civilization every few galaxies.
- We do not know that
