I obviously have none, so I’d like to see if I can mooch off of you lol.

Please don’t leave any pessimistic top level comments. Or do, I’m not your mom 🤷‍♂️.

    Something to do with purpose I imagine? I feel the same way. I’d like to be useful to others. Not like ‘good conversationalist’ useful; useful the way a shovel is useful.

    I find it’s not something well understood.

      Lemmy feels like young people hating the shit world they’ve inherited. They have shit jobs and think they would be better doing nothing. I get that feeling! But not having a useful purpose is awful. And then they think they’ll invent some useful purpose for themselves. Well, successful entrepreneurs and people who truly make a social difference are rare. It’s like thinking you’ll be one of the few left fighting the zombies.

        The truth is it will likely take an enormous amount of effort to keep ourselves busy. I’m unironically considering going off grid with some friends and family just to create problems to solve.
