Actual most common regrets include wishing you hadn't worked so hard and living a life you wanted rather than one others expect of you.

I've heard this a lot but I don't put too much weight to it. It's too easy to forget that you had bills to pay and just think "if I had just quit my job everything would have been sunshine and rainbows"

Impression I get is that its more don't treat your career like its your life. Which is absolutely something a fair few people do.

where i live you're a social freak if you don't treat your job as your identity/purpose/reason for being.

it's wild. And yet... all these people are miserable as far as I can tell.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, that is probably the sort of thing to avoid.

Vasectomies are harm reduction.

depends on the job and why you're doing it. a lot of people are working jobs they hate to provide for people they love, who they don't feel loved by. and that's some fucked up shit.

what's weird as a dude, i find personally, is that if you aren't suffering for your job, you're considered an underachieving. I don't get it. there is a weird fetishization that men must be miserable at their jobs, or if they love their work, they must be working 80 hours a week at it.

i work my 35 hours, my bills are paid, i am enjoying life... don't see why this is so offensive to folks.

It really is sunshine and rainbows... and rain, and sleet and snow. because youre homeless, and have no roof over your head.

Remember, this is how we are when there is hardly any scarcity. Just imagine how things will be when its metal on metal.

what if the life i want is the one where i watch media and ignore everyone else's expectations of me?

Your murderbot fanfic needs a little more plot, but pretty good otherwise

[-] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 21 points 1 month ago

Well... That hit me a little bit closer than i like to admit

Looking at nature is just analog media consumption.

having sex is just analog porno

This meme made me to go outside. Thanks.

Thinks of going outside

Opens door

Get slapped with a wave of heat akin to opening an oven

Nah, I'm good staying in.

It's 32 degrees Celsius in my apartment. It can't get any worse.

41C outside begs to differ

[-] Mucki@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

There are places outside that provide cool and shade. I found a small freshwater canal through the dense trees, which nobody cares about. wonderful place to cool down and stay until the mosquitos rise in the evening.

Yeah dying while watching a YouTube video doesn't sound that bad

Just one mind to flip and change to uplift another to spiritually ascending greener pastures via joy and laughter in this capitalist hellscape dystopia by unleashing my algorithmically proven one-word mid-dark gallows humor response... WOULD!
