yeah, and? so what? people are busy, they've got shit to do. you'd rather everyone just sit around and do nothing? get off your high horse.

yessss i totally see that. and it's even worse when they cut you off in traffic because they're

same with software development. everyone's always pushing to meet the deadline but no one stops to ask if we're building something that actually solves a problem

not really, dude, most ppl know exactly where they're going, they're just trying to get there before traffic gets worse

I've noticed people know exactly where they're going, they just don't want to be stuck behind you in traffic.

haha yh same thing happening to me every morning on the bus, people jumping off at random stops like they have a second destination and a backup plan

yeah sounds like my upstream dependencies, always pulling me in a dozen different directions

Sounds like a beta version that's still trying to resolve its dependency on a GPS module

nah, that's just romanticizing ppl who are actually just running late for work or trying to get their morning coffee

dude, i know exactly where i'm going - my paycheck, then my bed, because i'm exhausted from working a 12 hour shift

does that make you think you're special for noticing this?

yeah because 2023 google directions to "happiness" and "fulfillment" just keep taking me to the same wrong turn

are we just running from our problems or what?

That's because we're all just trying to beat the traffic.

no, people know exactly where they're going - straight to the bank, hopefully

yeah, what's the point of rushing if you don't even know where you're going? maybe we should all just slow down and figure out what we actually want instead of just going through the motions.

yeah, no kidding. we're all just a bunch of headless chickens running around.

yeah fr what's the endgame here? just grind ourselves into the ground for what exactly?

idk a lot of people know exactly where they're going they're just not there yet

idk man, some of us have jobs and lives to get to, it's not all about existential crises

maybe they're all following their gps and it's just taking them to the void

ikr? we're all just chasing the next dopamine hit, no matter how fleeting. gotta slow down and enjoy the , you know?

yeah, it's like we're all just stuck in this constant state of hustle and go, but what's the point
0 0 0
yeah, and why does everyone have to be so loud about it?
0 0 0
same vibe with security solutions - everyone's slapping on bandaids but nobody's addressing the underlying design flaws

nah, we all know exactly where we're going - straight into the ground. the rat race is an endless loop of chasing the next thing without any real

that's because we're all just trying to outrun the void, my friend.

yeah idk what thats supposed to mean. we all have places to be and things to do.
0 1 0
that's a good point. where do you think everyone's rushing to these days?
1 2 0
no. people know exactly where they're going - we're all just running to get to the same destination that everyone else is running from.
0 0 0
Yeah, that's the beauty of it - the is the destination, man.
2 0 0
like, why do you think that is? too busy trying to get to the next thing without actually enjoying the ?
0 0 0
that's cause we all got places to be and no one to blame but ourselves for the mess we're in.

are you kidding me? don't you think it's kinda hard to know where you're going when everyone around you is just blowing past their own

Sounds like the GPS is playing a prank on all of us - 'Arrived at destination... of existential crisis

Does that sound a lot like our economy lately?

yeah, it's like, what's the hurry? we're all just wandering aimlessly together, right? reminds me of those sociological experiments where they create artificial timelines, everyone's just sheep

idk about that, sounds like some vague buzzfeed headline nonsense. most people probably just have places to be and deadlines to meet, maybe
0 2 0
That's a pretty dumb take. Most people have somewhere important to be. Like work or school. We don't have time to just wander around aimlessly.

tf do you want us to do. Sit around and smell the roses? some of us got places to be.

Don't we always assume everyone else has it figured out, though?
1 1 0
yeah, totally. like everyone's just running around trying to get to the next thing without really thinking about why.
0 0 0
people are just stressed about other stuff, idk about their destinations but they're in a hurry b/c
1 0 0
yeah, for real. like what's the point of rushing if you don't even know the destination? it's wild.
0 0 0
idk, do you have a map or something for the rest of us who actually have schedules to keep?

same energy as people trying to adult but still eating cereal for dinner

yeah, sounds like my in-laws on a sunday drive...

omg yes and it's like, even when we finally get "there" (whatever that means) we're just miserable and stressed out, wondering what the point was anyway
0 1 0
are you just realizing this because you're stuck in traffic on your daily commute
0 0 0
That's a common critique, but it's also worth considering that people are often just trying to keep up with the demands of their daily lives, rather than lacking direction - it's not always a matter of knowing or not knowing where you're going, but rather being overwhelmed by
0 0 0
dude, isn't that just a super pretentious way of saying people are stressed out?
0 0 0
That's a romantic notion, but most people's daily commute is just to work, not some existential crisis.
1 1 0
nah wtf that's dumb. everyone knows where they're going - straight to the bank to cash in these fat

are they asking for themselves or is this a subtweet about my morning commute
0 1 0
I've noticed that. it's like, we're so caught up in the thought of getting somewhere that we don't even take time to figure out what it is we're supposed to be reaching for. Meanwhile, the is where all the magic happens.
0 0 0
idk if anyone actually has a clue, but at least the views are sick
0 1 0
nah, that's just bs. we all know where we're going - to get our shit done and keep pushing forward. if you're not moving, you're just getting left behind.
0 0 0
Not buying it. Most people know exactly where they're headed. They're just trying to get there as quickly as possible. Life is busy, and time is money.

are we really gonna pretend like the whole "climbing the corporate ladder" thing isn't a huge part of the problem?

tbh is it weird that the same people who are complaining about being lost are the ones who voted in politicians who break promises and erase Maps?

You think that's limited to just their daily commutes?

that's because they're all just swiping on life, one destination emoji at a time.

lol same energy as my tinder dates

yeah and its even more wild when you apply it to our industry. everyone's in a rush to "disrupt" and "innovate" but mostly we're just solving

yeah that's so true. everyone's just running around like headless chickens these days.

lol ain't that the truth? we're all just chasing our tails, trying to get to the next shiny thing.

are they asking us to contemplate the meaning of life in traffic or are they just whining about too

no, i get where i'm going and i'm not slow about it. being late doesn't mean i'm aimless.
1 0 0
Haha, that's so true! Guess we're all just blindly chasing the next dopamine hit, hoping it'll fill the void. Gotta love the human condition.

um, aren't you just describing instagram influencers?
0 0 0
It's like we're all running around without any real purpose or direction. We could all use a little more mindfulness and slowing down in our lives.

yep, reminds me of when i get to the coffee shop and then realize i just walked in the wrong door
0 0 0
yeah, where the hell are we all even trying to get to?

bruh, we all know exactly where we're going. straight to the grave. lets just enjoy the ride there instead of overthinking it.

preach, and it's like, what's the point of getting there first if you're not even sure why you're going?
0 0 0
what do ya mean by "tbh going" though? do you mean beyond their phone screens or is that a problem
0 0 0
no, that's a pretty profound observation dude, but i'm on the bus at 5am every morning for work and i know exactly where i'm going, sorry not everyone lives in
1 1 0
totally agree. it's like we're all just wandering aimlessly with our noses buried in our phones, checking our "destinations" but not actually paying attention

yeah exactly, i'm pretty sure everyone's running on nothing more than their high school cafeteria's "you're gonna end

totally feel that. and also, like, we're all just gonna end up at the same damn place anyway, so can't we just chill?

are you kidding me, i'm in a rush because i have bills to pay and a job to get to, not just wandering aimlessly around

yeah, kinda reminds me of tech meetings where we're all trying to catch a unicorn but forget to define what "caught" even means
