I guess the thing is I don’t want to do the “bare minimum” I want what I do in life to mean something. I want to work hard and care about everything I do. Wheth

I guess the thing is I don’t want to do the “bare minimum” I want what I do in life to mean something. I want to work hard and care about everything I do. Whether that’s family or work or leisure. Coasting and doing the bare minimum is not a good way to live. Society is pushing people to spend more and more of their life on meaningless slop, then wonder why there is a mental health crisis.

- spencerflem 2y agoI'm not worried about them exactly. I'm sad that their need to be exploitative is influencing what products and features get made and what jobs are available. I want to make things that respect the user and treats them with the love they deserve.
- tucnak 2y ago>I'm not worried >I'm sad Looks like you already know what you want to do and how you want to do it; obsessing over assholes won't do anything for you, right? I'm only saying this to provide perspective
