Hang on in there buddy, I've been where you are now.

I've got experience with exactly the feelings you're dealing with, the apathy, hopelessness and the desire to start something and finding no one with the enthusiasm required to go on. Also, I'm located in Berlin.

What helped me the most at the time was talking to and really connecting with people who were in my shoes at some point in their lives.

I've just created an empty Discord chat, if you want you can use a throwaway account and find me there https://discord.gg/4zm7TT

All the best!

Hello DouweM, I've been considering joining gitlab for a while! I have a couple of questions about how you guys make remote work run smoothly, can I reach out to you?

Thanks!

How can being at home ever make you lonely when it gives you more time to focus on relationships that actually matter.

Am I alone in thinking that those who expect any kind of meaningful bonding at work are misguided?

Yeah, one can enjoy smalltalk and the like but I'd much rather change that for a chat with a friend or my dad early in the morning.

Oh, and I don't think hunting animals for food is the kind of "violence" we're discussing.

You didn't understand what he was trying to get at.

He was talking about hunting as an outlet for anger, so in that context I suppose he is framing violence through hunting as an outlet and hence a solution to anger.

This is also my line of thinking but would love to read more about your perspective.

Would you be willing to elaborate on "the forces" you think shape our society?
