    We don’t need a paid job to in order to work and be productive. We can volunteer to make a better society or do something creative. We need to stop making the equivalence between free time=mindless media consumption. Also, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs

    The problem is we need the job money and getting it leaves us so exhausted we restore to lay down and watch a screen. But this is a situation created by the job-centric culture, not solved by it.

      Yeah bud I am a specialty nurse for disabled pediatrics, I don’t have a bullshit job. Maybe what you said applies to someone else.

        Not all jobs are bullshit of course. Yours is much needed. But that was just an example for of the argument, the core remains. Job-centric culture and chronic exhaustion is a social issue regardless of your personal experience.

          Maybe I said what I said a little too defensively. I don’t want to downplay the quality of what you might have to say on the topic, however, I feel like the r/antiwork dog walkers are upset with me for liking work. I may not be in the most receptive of places at the moment.
