    Why bother living.

    I guess maybe if the extreme overwork overtime is a means to an end by getting money, retire early, get experience to find a more reasonable job… I guess maybe some can justify it. Maybe. There’s probably some who feel forced due to desperate circumstances.

    Idk. I hate this overworked overtime culture.

      Yeah I just was forced to quit after putting in 10 hours a day for 5+ years at a company. It caused health problems and is definitely not worth it. Put the extra time into YOUR OWN projects instead of someone else’s.

        Agreed. And remember that a good personal project does not necessarily have to be for profit.

      I’m proud to be a ‘loser’ by our standards. I think it was theory of a deadman’s lowlife that really made me think about how much better it is to simply not fucking care about all the bullshit.
