I don't need to be different but I am effectively different because everyone around me hates their job and spends their money on fast food and cable tv

no amount of wage can compensate me for the ugliness and existential misery of this world

haha

we basically live in the metal gear universe now

consider this even

this is a country of 600k people

in even such a small place

we have at least thousands of people who are consdiered super-duper "qualified"

i can scan their entire life and find nothing exceptional

not only in material matters

but their life isn't enjoyable at all thanks to their qualifications, nor do they produce anything

they are just another guy with a job to do for somebody else

it's better not to invest yourself in these matters, and even if you do something merely to get paid, at least you remain detached

for let's face it, the only really and in it's substance dignified and enjoyable work is the one that nobody gives you a paycheck for

yes

in today's world adult working life means being deprived of all dignity, personal agency or self expression in even the slightest matters

I am starting to hate the shit out of psychiatry

they talk as if depression is a brain disorder, not a natural reaction to the world as it presents itself

"it's a brain disorder where you don't have enough serotonin lol"

do you live in a big city

horrible experience of life with no hope for the future->fucking magnets->magical decrease in serotonin->pill fixes it

yes

a hive

yuck

dalit hive

I am in a small town for the first time and it's a world of difference

well yeah you live on the scale people were meant to live

we are moving right now and we have to be home so dalits can come into our place and look at it

yeah. it feels that way. I have plans to move back to a city in a year or two but I'm trying to slither out of it. after a year of walking to work I can't imagine getting in a car and joining the freeway of ants

it's funny how a long commute --> magnets --> no seratonin

yes

hellish life->???->omg brain chemicals 😦

maybe, just maybe, we are people and this is an unacceptable way to live

just a thought I guess

a person I work with has been out of the office for two days at a critical time

due to an asthma attack

which would normally not bother me except that knowing he has asthma really makes his thrice daily smoke breaks look pretty fucking stupid

@UOC your job seems to be evil

How do you cope

Or is it not an issue?

The only people hurt by my job are the corporate structure of power companies
