I don’t know if that’s sustainable. We’re all stuck with this work-thing being one third of our life for the foreseeable time, so spending 33% of like, everything I’ll ever experience on something I don’t give a fuck about seems like both a lot of dull time and a bad decision overall.
- immibis 2y agoWell, your choices are that or death - no matter whether you give it bare minimum effort or a lot of effort.
- Aeolun 2y agoYou you actually feel fulfilled giving anything minimum effort? Like, I’m not going to work overtime for free or anything, but the time I do work gets my best effort.
- mattgreenrocks 2y agoCynicism is a cope for not doing the work. Minimum effort is exhausting for the long term.

- throw_pm23 2y ago"We're all stuck with this..." I think you are rationalizing your choices by thinking everything does the same. It is not true, some are not stuck anywhere, some choose to live a simpler life that needs less money, fewer compromises, etc. etc. the world is a big place.
- 9dev 2y agoSure. I was specifically talking to people browsing hacker news, which have a high probability of working a job in the capitalist economy. Of course there are other ways of life, but the predominant part of humanity does not choose those. So I still think it’s appropriate to talk about ”all of us“ in this case.
