    I’m currently 100% remote, and to be honest I do sometimes miss having to spend 2-3 hours of my day getting ready/up early and going to work, spending the extra gas money, being late. Cause if we don’t go to the office, WHO WILL FUND ALL THESE CORPORATE LOANS? /s

      I moved to where I lived so I could walk to work. 6 months later the pandemic hit and I more or less spent 80-90% of the past 5 years alone in my apartment. I miss working in the office because I miss just being able to talk to close coworkers/friends, no slack, no zoom, just walking over and if they weren’t focused chatting or discussing and just having social interaction

      Fuck, I miss the walk to work and interacting with people

      There was lots of shitty stuff about working in the office but damn I do miss it

      Only time in my adult life I managed to be regularly hygenic tbh

        Have you considered getting a social life?

          Have you considered that that might be difficult with antisocial attitudes like the one expressed by OOP becoming the norm?

            All social interactions aren’t equal. When I go to a shop I avoid people because I am not in that space to socialise. However when I go to a social event I try my best to be outgoing and engage with lots of people.

              The OOP reads like all social interactions are equally bad, so I’m not really sure why you’re disagreeing with me for disagreeing with the original post. I did not say anything to the contrary of what you are saying.

            Nah, it’s not about to be the norm: people just vary in their social disposition with some wanting none of it. That’s fine & should be accepted. Have you looked at society?

              Yeah, I have, and I think being fearful and avoidant of each other is more destructive than it is helpful. Have you looked at the up and coming generations, taken seriously the loneliness they are expressing, and acknowledged how that might affect their views on the world and how they treat others?

      Stop uisng creditcards (if you even still use them) and stop buying from mega corps, that will have a way bigger impact than you going to work. Heck generally staff working from home is cheaper if the production is the same.

      Also, you can walk bike or take the public transport to work unless you live in a corrupted hellscape.
