Because pretending to care seems so fake. About to just be that guy who rants about the stupidity of it all, evoking David graeber or some shit, because it seems to be all people ask me about at bars or meet-ups. Do I have to like re-program myself to care
What’s the solution comrades
just a tip for everyone, when you meet someone don't go for the extremely overused "what do you do?"
ask what they like to do in their free time, or something else. don't ask about their job
I wish "what do you do?" wasn't automatically understood to mean "what do you do for work?" because taken literally, it's a very nice open-ended question that could be about anything.
