  • Speaking as a Canadian and repeating a comment from a few days ago that was in a different context.

    If Trump/US invaded Greenland.

    Pollievre (leader of Conservative party) - “yes Daddy invade them!”

    Carney (leader of Liberal party & Canadian Government currently) - “Canada is alarmed by these actions and will continue to work collaboratively with its international partners to find a solution.”

    We all know the Liberal response is the better one but it still means absolutely jack shit.








  • What im reading from this is not new but i don’t want to discount your sentiment. What I am assuming is the difference is for me and those older we are the frog in the pot of water with the water being brought to a boil. Because we grew up before The Internet we are effectively better grounded for the overstimulation now? The shock for those younger is far more jarring especially if they have not been adequately prepared by their support systems.


  • I understand everything you’re saying… I don’t see this as burning out though. This is more existential or nihilism. Welcome to experiencing life as a GenX 🤣

    It’s always been pointless. I work in Finance everything is smoke and mirrors. If you want real meaning it’s all those jobs none of us care about. Social workers. Nurses. Construction. Cashier’s. Farmers.

    This is why IT people like me end up dipping out before retirement and shifting careers drastically. It’s all bullshit. It always has been.


  • Making your bed, bills and errands around us new? Commitments at work are new? I’m not being factitious I genuinely don’t understand.

    Yes the world is different. My dad at 82 had a vastly different world than me at 48. But here’s the rub, you peel back the technology advancements it’s the same world. How are kids today not seeing the same world? Parents may not have failed but someone/something has.

    Doing dishes shouldn’t be burning you out.

    Edit - minor generic tweaks
