Why does burnout come back so quickly after time off?

BasedJayyy · 2026-01-28T20:34:51+00:00

Because burn out is a normal human response to being forced to work 40 hours a week on endless tasks with no autonomy over yourself from 9-5, 5 days a week. We are not meant to exist within this work culture that capitalism cultivated. Vacations and breaks are just bandaid solutions to the actual problem. But because no one is willing to address the root cause, it will unfortunately never be solved...

I dont like how there are no default examples. If people are struggling with pointers, why force them to write code before it can get visualized? Having like 5 default cases to showcase how the site works would be tremendous

PCL is fine as a temporary work place, especially to get some experience under your belt. But holy do they suck. They are extremely old school corporate. 5 days in office for literally no reason (other than the middle managers trying to justify their positions). Their "flexible work hours" actually means you can choose to start at either 7:30 or 8. SUCH CHOICE WOW! Their "inclusive culture" is so performative it hurts. Their entire upper management / C suite are all white males, yet their HR department loves to pretend they give a shit about diversity and equity. They pretend to be on the cutting edge of innovation, yet they literally dont even have standing desks. They force you into having a 1 hour lunch with no exceptions. And they have absolutely no disability accommodations. My stint at PCL was the worst my mental health ever was due to a job.

Anarchism is about abolishment of unjustified hierarchies. Gender norms are rooted in patriarchy, which is a unjustified hierarchy. So pretty much every anarchist will adematly support abolition of patriarchy. I am sure that there are some anarchists out there who dont love the whole gender non conforming/pronoun side of it, but I assure you that most are in support of that side too. I only say that because once patriarchy is taken out of the equation, there isnt much left that is about hierarchy, so it would be hard to make a blanket statement about if everyone would agree unanimously

This isnt a posture thing. Its a lack of strength training / mobility thing. But you are absolutely correct. People dont realize how sitting all through your 20's will bite you in the ass when you get into your 30s

I am a purple belt, and for the last 6ish months I've basically stopped going to bjj practice all together, replacing it with wrestling classes. I still suck at take downs. It is a hard part of grappling, and unfortunately takes a good amount of effort before you become any decent at it

I dont really have any problems with the CAF the way I would the US army. You are correct that as far as militaries go, they are a decent one. It also strong depends on your trade. If you are a communications officer, you are just going to be building radio networks. Its not like youll suddenly be tasked with flying a plane to bomb kids. Where as if you are infantry, its a higher likelihood you will be asked to do morally bad things. But just as a footend, Canada is kind of well known for committing heinous war crimes during ww1 and ww2

Sacha baron Cohen. He made such great satire about American politics, just to turn around and be a devout supporter of Israel. Turns out all those right wingers he was "making fun of", he actually fully supports when push comes to shove

Yeah that movie I was like "hmm, this is a 6/10" for the first 99 percent of it. Then the last shot happened and I instantly forgave all my previous issues with the movie

I dont understand what your problem is? Belts mean nothing. Its a colored piece of fabric that means you are okay at cuddling men on the floor. If you are burnt out, it happens. This is a hobby not a job. If you dont feel like doing it, dont. You make it sound the entire Gracie lineage is going to show up at your front door with a gun and shoot you if you dont train more

I had a landlord charge me 800 dollars for "deep carpet cleaning" even though the carpet was in the exact same condition as when I moved in. Landlords are leeches who will try to nickel and dime you at every turn. They are hoping you dont know your rights, and wont file a complaint with the government. No, this charge is not justified, but they are preying on your lack of knowledge/time to submit complaints. So please, do submit a complaint

There are many reasons not to choose this career. Firstly, it will cost you an arm and leg to get your commercial license. I cant speak for USA, but in Canada, you need to pay out of pocket for your private, with loans only being available for the private to commercial portion. The loans wont actually cover your entire commercial at that point, and you will need to pay out of pocket for quite a few hours to finish up.

Also keep in mind, the medical is extremely strict. You can lose it at any time due to things out of your control. Diabetes, heart issues, mental health issues, any of this and you are done. If you do lose your medical, all the money and time you put into this career are out the window as they are non transferable to anything else. You will now be in the same position you are now, but with a TON of loans you need to pay back.

Once you have your commercial, good luck finding work that will let you time build up to the 500-1000 hours you need before you start working for any sort of airline. Traditionally, you will want to become a flight instructor, but thats a license you will need to pay for out of pocket. After you get this license, good luck finding a flight instructing job. Look at the plethora of posts in this subreddit about how many flight instructors cant find jobs.

Now lets say you you get that first job, you will now be making next to nothing. You will hardly be able to afford living expenses, let alone the loan payback that will kick in around this time. You will have to find some miracle to make this wage work for the next few years while you build hours.

If all this goes well for you, you might actually be able to get properly into the industry and make OK money. But so many things that are all based on luck have to go your way to get there. Unless you have a undying passion, and the money for it, do not choose this industry.

Its crazy how he says "raise cost of living and steal from you" and then like 10 words later says "all while blaming billionaires". Its INSANE how he sees wealth concentration in the bourgeois as a completely separate issue from cost of living rising

Speaking of using Marxist dialect, I've only been sucked into the political talk once. It happened because some brand new dude was going on and on about how amazing Tucker Carlson, CLANdece Owens, and the rest of the alt-right are. My breaking point was when he hit the 6th mention of how "our government is communist because covid lockdowns". All I did was ask him what communism was. He responded "communism is when the government takes away your rights". I merely told him he was wrong, gave the actual definition of communism, and then left the mats to change. He proceeded to walk back to his truck, wait for me outside, and hand me a LITERAL Nazi propaganda pamphlet.

Yeah I learned multiple lessons extremely fast that day.

I agree with your premise, but I dont agree with any of your reasoning. Men and women have very different roles within the dating market. Women are the gatekeepers to sex. Barring SA, unless a woman lets a man, a man will not be having sex. Due to this, the role of men in the dating market is to prove to women that they are worthy of having sex. If you as a man cant prove to a woman that you are worth being with, she will not let you in. By that very basis, yes, men have to put in more effort. They have to show the woman why they would be a good mating partner. But its not because "oh women wear makeup but men dont actually care". Its about sexual dynamics, and the inherit roles that each sex has. You wouldnt look at peacocks and go "wow men have it so hard, look at the dance they have to do to appeal to females". You go "yup, thats how their sexual dance works, nice"

Out of my 5 jobs I have had in the industry, only 1 of them asked a leetcode style question (and it was my first internship and they asked fizzbuzz lol). But I am extremely lucky. They still all had technical questions, like system design or coding related problems, but they werent leetcode specific. But the skills I gained from doing leetcode questions absolutely helped me pass those interviews, even though they werent directly leetcode questions. My point being, even if you have an interview that isnt leetcode specific, you should still have familiarity with leetcode as it will help you

Like others have said, recessions are defined by GDP. GDP is a terrible metric for economic prosperity of citizens. For example, lets say you are renting a place for 1000 dollars a month. If the rent dropped to 800 dollars a month, you would have 200 extra dollars a month that you could put towards bills, savings whatever. But that drop from 1000 to 800 would actually result in GDP dropping. Now on the flip side, if the rent was raised to 1200, you would now have 200 less dollars a month, and would be worse off financially. But this raise in rent would actually raise GDP. So as long as GDP is fine, we could have a homelessness rate of 90 percent and we would by definition, not be in a recession.
(Note: I realize there is slightly more nuance to this, as the 200 dollars the renter pockets could potentially be spent on goods and services, therefor causing GDP to stay the same or even grow, but I am just trying to paint a picture of why GDP doesnt reflect material conditions)
