    I think people may be seeing it the wrong way round or at least not taking into account the other side.

    I’ve been unemployed two years since a mental breakdown. A lot of people may think I’m living the high life with nothing to do and just chilling. But it destroys you having no work! Everyday is a battle against the dark thought - “what’s the point in life if I’m not DOING something?”

    You may think you’d do the hobbies you do at weekend - but you don’t. Not when you’re not working long-term. You just coast with every day exactly the same. Nothing has meaning. Weekends aren’t special Even something as simple as going to the library - I love books! But why bother? I can do that tomorrow. Tomorrow comes and I don’t go.

    I’m not saying people need to be wage slaves and work dead-end jobs. But people have to work for their own sanity. It’s why a lot of retired people degenerate and/or go back to light work.

    I dunno. I would agree but there’s some anime where the Japanese name just sounds better and it’s easier to say.

    Kimetsu no Yaiba has a silky feel to it that’s lost in the English translation “Demon Slayer” which sounds a bit corny.

    Same with Jujutsu Kaisen which sounds a lot better than “Sorcery Battle” or “Technique School”.

    Shingeki no Kyojin sounds better but I never remember it as easily as “Attack on titan” and people always shorten it to the English acronym (AoT).

    We don’t have BSD communities and even if we did they probably wouldn’t be big enough to get a decent answer.

    So I asked here cos there’s a high chance that some Linux users will also know something about *BSD.
