The perfect way to mourn your mundane life.

      Here’s mine:

      • Wake up when the neighbour above me slams their door
      • Glance over at my phone and realize I have an hour still
      • Bask in that extra hour sleep without actually sleeping
      • Groggily get up, shower
      • Walk to the station, buy a coffee
      • And wait for the next autopilot routine to kick in

          Eh, it’d be the same routine under socialism but the end goals would be different.

              That’s the ideal, but I imagine there’d be a great deal of equity required to get the ball rolling, and people wouldn’t immediately change households to build a new utopia, but would likely have to go through the arduous process of either doing the work, or setting up the committees to do the work.

              The end goal would be different, but I imagine it would be the same daily slog, just with perhaps slightly better hours, and maybe less enthusiasm for doing it since the threat of homelessness and starvation would no longer dangle above our heads.

              A small minority would bounce out of bed every morning with a burning passion to complete the mission, but I think that same minority tend to be the ones who happily work dog hours and dog wages in feel-good startups

    Hey, bud. I can’t leave the office after just getting there to go lift weights. I also have zero control over 80% of the meetings I attend. Dude has no idea how privileged he is.

    Most people don’t get a chance to do those things. Wake up, commute while sending off kids, work dreadful shit, collect kids, shop, make dinner, relax15 minutes, pass out, repeat.

    Except. bank holiday comes 6 times a year. Cheers.

        Believe it or not, kids bring joy to an otherwise bland life. As for the kids’ future, you can do a lot with a little, just spending what little time you have at the end of the day w/ your kids can help them surpass where you were able to get to.
