The beauty of being a software developer is that if I hate the industry I work in I can just go and work in a different industry, and in time come to hate that just as much.

A few days ago I saw a thread that suggested ingesting raw lentils at midnight led to an increased mana response by dayfall. Can't link to it for obvious reasons, but there you go.

This was me. I went into banking because I wanted to make money and naively thought it was a harmless service industry. Cue years later and I just can't handle going to work and feeling like a bad person everyday who is pushing evil in the world, so I call it quits.

Haven't made anywhere near as much money in the decade plus since then, but I also don't wake up feeling like I'm harming my community every day, so I haven't regretted my decision for even a minute.

Good for you comrade, let us not be complicit in eachothers exploitation

Yeah what I've realized over time is that while no ethical consumption (or work) exists under capitalism, specifically unethical consumption and work definitely does.

Nobody is truly 100% free of the cycle of abuse, but certain people are specifically perpetrators of it. I couldn't take being one.

There are no ethical jobs under capitalism, not any that pay enough to live on.
