There are things that affect me, everyday, and everytime - like a daemon service. Things that stop me from enjoying life, or be more loving to the people around me. It results in a certain heaviness, and keeps me away from noticing the vibrance of the world. Afterall, how do you deal with knowing that there are certain people - people that are close to you, who can hold such absurd opinions, cause immense pain to another human? How can someone be so blind to their actions and the consequences that those actions bring about? How do you reconcile closeness with that kind of blindness?

I gotta say, the movie kept me at the edge of my seat on my second watch too. The atmosphere was so well done, building the tension up until its limits, and releasing it altogther in the end. Upon a bit more thought, I wonder how many religion/cults there was in history that led to such wide-scaled massacre of human life, just because the members of these groups were absolutely certain of their ideas to be true? Maybe this is why it is important to not be too confident of yourself, despite the more popular notion that opposes this idea. You can always be wrong.

Signing off.

Finally nuked PulseAudio. I had some initial friction with the dependency tree (yes my system was not upgraded for months). Anyways, to install pipewire-pulse I had to do a full system upgrade but rstudio-desktop (from the AUR) was not allowing the upgrade because it was clinging on to some previous version of some packages, so had to uninstall it temporarily. Its all good at the end, but probably because of one of my stupid hacks, my bluetooth speaker was sending audio to my laptop. Had to add

monitor.bluez.properties = {
  bluez5.roles = [ a2dp_source hfp_hf hsp_hs ]
}

somewhere in wireplumber configuration.
