AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•Populist billionaire Andrej Babiš wins Czech parliamentary electionEnglish13·19 hours agoWhy do people keep thinking that billionaires have our best interests at heart?
There are some nice low-end millionaires. There are no nice billionaires. Plain and simple. You don’t become a billionaire by being nice and playing nicely.
Billionaires do not want to get into politics for the good of the people or the world. Ever. Full stop.

When one of my jobs didn’t give raises one year we all decided to make our own raise…by coming in 30-60 minutes late, taking an extra 30-60 minute lunch, and leaving early.
I was still there another 1.5 years and nobody seemed to notice…so, yeah.

AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto AuDHD@lemmy.world•How do you deal with “existential anxiety”?English10·1 day agoOP, this is a legit answer. And I am only replying because I’ve given a similar answer to some and they brush it off as me being dismissive.
But I don’t mean to be.
Purpose is generally how you define it, there is no “boss” dictating what your purpose is and then you have to find it. You need to make it…if that makes sense.
It does take work, but finding the people you enjoy being around, the hobbies you like to pursue, the games you like to play, the “work” you can pour yourself into and feel accomplished - that’s what life is about.
It took me until 30, but I woke up one day and decided I was going to stop trying to please people every second of every day. Stop bottling my own wants up to save face. My friend group shifted drastically. My dating life became a discovery of who I am and what I want. My, now, wife can tell you stories of my stubborness early on because I was not going to change myself for anything or anyone.
I am much more laid back nowadays, I am more confident, more happy. But I had to go through all of that and more to get there and it was soooo freeing.
As soon as I accepted that I don’t have a purpose and that I don’t need to answer to others definition of purpose or success - I discovered and paved my purpose and success. It sounds weird maybe but it’s…awesome.

I’d add that they should be identified and not welcome anywhere ever.
