It is with the confidence of decades of experience that I can say that the problem is that you have a bad attitude about your job. (I have elaborated on this in the past: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17164086 >)
It is with the confidence of decades of experience I can say that to quote Alan Watts aloud is a sign of desperately needing to read another book.
Is anything in that quote so wrong that it invalidates the larger point the quote is meant to illustrate?

Not gonna lie, this whole "Feel - Emotions on Demand" thing sounds like a slightly dystopian scifi concept. Maybe like a Black Mirror -style parody of how even emotions can be manufactured nowadays.
I get that reaction and see how it could sound a bit Black Mirror ish. It's literally just art and curated audiovisual experiences designed to help you feel and process your emotions though. We’re already living in a scifi dystopia where our emotions are constantly being manipulated by social media, algorithms, ads, etc. Feel is an attempt to offer an intentional alternative. It's not about manufacturing emotions. It…
Not a psychologist, but I have doubts that this is a more conscious and aware way of going through emotions. If you're so stressed about something that it makes you cry, this is a signal that there is something wrong that you need to change or takle/face in some way. If you're inducing cry once a week to relieve your stress, you're instead trying to silence the signal telling that something might be wrong. Like taking a painkiller after breaking a bone, but without taking care of the fracture that is causing the pain.

> the fact that it doesn't open in russia makes me happy, to be honest Mind to explain why?
Standard "boo Russia, yay Ukraine" vibes + forgetting that Russian people are just regular people with regular-people hopes and fears.
Yea, but I wonder how they try to justify (if those silly emotional bursts are justifiable) those statements.

#167How can I grab a link for a video to share that specific video?
The Vimeo logo in the video is a link to the video on vimeo.com.
The first video I got didn’t have the vimeo logo in the controls. I guess the play size was too small? Others have had it, but I can’t seem to find that first one at all.

Also you should reformat it like the "Why don't men cry?" [1] meme and have the video in the bottom left square.

#170Well the site definitely works. Currently going through a extremely difficult time at the moment with my amazing cat that is dying of CKD/CHF. First video this site showed me is "A scene from the movie A Dog's Purpose (2017). A family's dog reaches the end of his life." Now I cant stop crying.
Our cat died last year due to blood clots in has back legs. He was a good cat.
