Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you’ve been slacking off for a few days because you know it’s small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.
For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.

A desire for a different way to live your life. If everyone else around you wants something else, you can either suffer it or disengage from society all together. And odds are neither of those two options are what you wanted to happen.
Hence why the members of c/fuckcars are so intense (I include myself in this).
The only practical way to avoid exposure to society’s car dominance in your everyday life is to live far from society… Which ironically forces you to own a car and drive to get literally anywhere.
