I am actually ridiculously good at keeping myself entertained. I could stay in the basement forever…

      Unironically the average lifespan for humans is just over 80 years.

      So if you start working when you’re 15 and work until retirement age which in America is 66 you’ll have less than 20 years to just enjoy being alive.

      And by then you’ll probably have some kind of condition that will make existing harder like back pain or arthritis or the myriad of other possible ailments.

      We’re literally giving our prime to corporate overlords who use our work to live the life we should all have as a baseline.
