    I can confirm that normies do not, nay, CANnot understand this. It doesn’t compute for them. Because I have tried explaining, in depth, with metaphors (“you know how feel about cleaning the cat’s litter box? That’s how we feel about virtually every necessary life task!”). Nothing works.

      cleaning the litterbox is actually less unpleasant:

      • doesn’t have to happen at a specific time

      • if I fuck it up, it doesn’t spill over into other tasks

      • it’s an act of service towards someone else and thus easier to motivate me than something that’s for myself
