    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!

    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”

        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.

        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.
