    Because you spend most of your life working, you have meaningless sex without forming emotional connections or freinds, even if you did you spend too much time at work to enjoy their company, then what little free time you actually get, you squander it doomscolling or engaging with the crab-brains on 4chan, or playing games that make you angry and in the process constantly consume media to desperately try and eek out some good chemicals from you completely fried neurons and never give them a break.

      or, you stay outside the system, nibbling off of whatever jobs you can find around the industry of your professional focus, but never committing to any of the big players, hoping to retain some shred of a soul but also knowing… the jobs they’d offer would come with hooks that would drive me nutso and eventually out.

      bah. the only way to avoid this is to avoid interacting with it. it fucks up my ability to progress professionally but those who know my work are enthusiastic to put me to work, within those constraints.
