It's insane how much time I lose to my job

Welcome to the meat grinder my friend.

You sound part of the younger generation starting to enter the work force. Stay at home as long as possible (family situation permitting) and save your pennies.

I think these days with the current climate you have it really tough - everything is fucked in the work world and its all about more production more money at the cost of your soul. Good employers are far and few between.

You have 2 options:

  • Stay on your current trajectory and feed yourself in to the grinder, you might eventially find stability.

  • Alternative life paths to the traditional ones.

I know a few people that barely work and travel around all the time. They are some of the happiest people I know. They usually have a skill that can be traded for goods or money like painting, woodwork, think trade based skills, handyman stuff.

You also have the third option of asking your parents for a small loan of 1 million dollars and starting your own business.

The UK and US Google results for "freezing definition" differ slightly

Little steps: (applicable if you use google services)

  • Changing email from gmail
  • Changing browser from chrome
  • Use alternative search engine
  • Using Docs alternatives
  • Using photos alternatives
  • Using maps alternatives

Major impact steps:

  • GrapheneOS
  • Uninstalling google play services
  • Using push notification alternatives
  • Using alternative app stores

I never really used googles apps much to begin with apart from youtube, maps and chrome, I used a lot of microsoft shit before they really started shitting the bed with windows 11 and ai garbage.

Biggest issue I ran in to changing to Graphene and not using play services was lack of push notifications but these days i prefer to have notifications off for most things and the really important stuff either has alternatives or runs in the background.

Battery life without play services is insane too so thats a bonus.

Havent deleted my google account yet cause I still use it for youtube subs but im sure in time it will disappear.

I'm starting to think my uncle is an incel.

I wouldnt say interchangeable but more often than not both are paired together.

Incel = Involuntarily Celibate

Misogynist = A person who hates women

They compliment each other as "qualities" of a person and generally create a feedback loop in the losers bracket, intensifying each one until maximum power is achieved in both.
