rotor posted:we all trade time for money and there is no need to make this weak attempt at shaming someone because they want to trade more of their time for money than you do at this stage of your lives. It's not a weak attempt. If you aren't salaried, go for it I guess. If you are, then you are working extra for free.

Like you know if you accept a tiny pay cut you can work less and for a cause that you agree with right

I went to culvers the other day to get me and the missus some ice cream and it was like $15 I very explicitly remember my parents being shocked that ice cream for a family of four in Oslo in the late nineties or early naughties was the equivalent of 15€

The past few pages demonstrate the point of my meta-gimmick better than I ever could. I'm an emotional mess who can't stop being annoying, getting wildly caught up in doubling down on points everyone else finds irrelevant, being wrong a lot and loudly, being boring as hell more often than not, and melting down constantly. It took me a lot of work and self-reflection to be this way. Because I used to just suppress the misery and concentrate on working, waiting for a better day when I could do what I wanted to do. Except I'm now too disabled to work, and that better day is never coming. It's not that I can't shut up and be stoic. It's that it was turning my life into endless monotony filled with interchangeable days of vague misery where I couldn't allow myself to feel anything.

Yeah I do what I'm good at for 30-50 hours a week and am rewarded by getting to do what I like with piles of money for the rest of my time. Bonus, it feels good to do things you're good at, so it's not a bad life.

serious questionn do people have an obligation or a responsibility to contribute to society? I thought 'obviously, like, at least a little bit' but no joke I got shouted down for 3 solid days by several people who thought the answer was no no no no how dare you

I think my answer would vary heavily depending on the definition of contributing we're using. There's ways to contribute to society that aren't working a job after all.
