dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Yeah I needed this thanks. Been stuck in perma crunch for the last 3 years and trying to snap myself out of it and go back to taking the piss. But like my brain is either cba to do anything cos why would I? I hate my team, company, product, tech stack, design decisions, leadership, office etc. Or i crank things out through melting my own brain.

Mmm the solution is play MMOs during work hours and work on personal projects.

Good call. Personal projects can be so joyful. It’s felt like crunch city no matter where one goes, so there’s gotta be some way to get away from it. I tend to enjoy high stress work - probably because it lets me ignore my needs lol until I’m eventually like “oh I feel like absolute shit”
