  • I know that headline must be incredibly infuriating for a public like lemmy, * but *, personally I have some conflicts about the whole retirement concept since it starts a chain of cognitive decline and isolation (this is a source but there are many more: https://bmcgeriatr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12877-017-0556-7)

    I’m not saying that people should be working forever, I just wonder if there could be some optional way for some elder people to contribute to society in a way that feels meaningful? Are there jobs where they could fit and have that feeling of fulfillment? Understand that I have met a fair amount of old people that felt useless and was just “waiting to die” in a depressive way. In some ways jobs can be a source of happiness if people isn’t being exploited. What I’m thinking about would be optional and with less hours involved

    On the other hand, maybe what I’m describing is not necessarily a “job position for old people” per se, maybe if we as a society invested more in quality of life for the elder I believe we could make them happier. I feel terrible that we’re barely doing anything for the loneliness problem…

    Given:

    • the current status of the housing market
    • the job crisis that will come as a side effect of the AI revolution
    • the climate change fuckfest that is coming in the next 20 years

    I feel like this generation of young people might face something even worse than the great depression

    Not sure if this is the right place to start this conversation, but I find glassdoor much more pleasing and respectful than linkedin. If you’re struggling to get a job maybe give it a shot, it’s incredibly though out there right now, best of luck to all of you!!







  • Hahah, I noticed!

    I’ve seen the negativity towards the anime stuff and I don’t think it’s THAT bad if the pic has characters with realistic clothes and a “street wear” vibe. As you mentioned, design starts with a drawing, but I can also see why some people would rather keep the sub-lemmy “real pics only”, either way. Instead of complaining that much they could contribute 👀
