    5 day work week. Always seemed odd to me as a child and now that I’m seeing how broken a lot of retirees in their 50s and 60s are it’s pretty clear to me that it’s a terrible idea.

    Doom scrolling short form video.

    My dad does this for hours per day after work and nothing else, and now it seems he’s lost all his critical thinking completely and is commonly disregulated, and I’m kind of afraid he’ll get more forgetful and erratic, since he’s already showing signs of slipping into Alzheimer’s.

    Commuting back and forth five days a week working mindless jobs producing next year’s landfill so you can pay for food that half of it ends up in the trash, while talking earnestly about pollution and climate change.

    Isolate themselves to mostly just their phone and the façade world that exists within.
