I get that, I used to work with an old timer +65 and their job made them feel useful. They told me that otherwise they’d be drinking beers and cruising on demand media. I hope he’s still out there doing exactly that. Personally I’d rather be murdered than work until I’m dead.

Covid quarantines and stuff were so boring that everything I normally enjoyed became boring also. I learned that if I don’t have something to break up time between leisure activities I’ll get tired of them. I work, and it isn’t the pinnacle of existence, but what I like to do when I am not working feels better or atleast stays as good.

I don’t know, with the huge backlog that I have regarding videogames, movies, TV shows, Anime, podcasts, mangas, comics and books I think I’d be pretty busy without the need of a work, doing one activity at once is tiring ofc, no matter how fun it is but having lots of hobbies helps (and those are the “quarantine friendly hobbies”).

Yeah I really can’t do purposeless living. I would get depressed in like a week. The content of my work gives me purpose. Those are great hobbies, I enguage with many of them, but none of them would be fulfilling without a purpose beyond them.
