    Suddenly

    As if this hasn’t been going on for decades.

    My solution is to do the very minimum I can to get by and otherwise enjoy my minimalist life. Fuck consumerism with a 10ft pole. Let it rot.

      Yeah, after being taken advantage of by every employer I ever had and still struggling financially I started to realize it’s beneficial for my mental health to fuck off as much as I can without getting fired. Just ride that fine line. If they treat you like they want subpar work, give them subpar work.

      And yeah, stay minimalist. Don’t burden yourself with subscriptions. Don’t buy things that require a lot of maintenance. Don’t over-extend yourself. It’s better for your mental health.
