It is the polar opposite of the hustle culture, and I despise the hustle culture. Here I can be comfortably adequate and still feel valid.

I haven’t done a damn thing today at work. My inbox is empty. The helpdesk is stagnant. Nobody’s come into my office with an emergency. I’ve been watching Star Trek TNG interrupted only by toilet and coffee breaks. I’ll wait for the cleaning lady to check the trash cans (they’re empty), lock up, and go pick up my dad’s gift.

What a perfectly adequate day.

    I agree, this community is very cozy feeling. It feels like having a conversation with my Dad about working on fixing things or just old stories.

    We need more spaces where people can just be their unremarkable selves without being pushed a ‘message’, bombarded about a cause, or pressed to transact or trade. Just be. It’s good for the soul.

      It certainly is… as long as The God Of The Rack accepts our sacrifice and none of the servers crap out during winter break.

        Just make sure you stocked up on magic smoke in case one of them blows a gasket or whatever. Once it runs out of magic smoke you have to send emails and mark tickets ‘pending’.

    Hell yea, brother. Also, I feel like Lemmy is now how reddit used to be 10 years ago where people are still nice and not just being dicks and arguing on every comment.

    We are dullsters, the antonym to hipster. We embrace the ordinary.

    I also had a very chill day in which I did little and left early. Good stuff.

    I’ve recently discovered the documentary “the world at war” and these dull days are now much more interesting! 😁
