i mean there are tons of jobs that are just peoples hobbies or things they woukd enjoy doing regardless if they get payed for it. i think thats evident by how many "cashier simulator" or other job simulator type games there are and how popular they are. I think the argument against things like universal basic income is that people wouldn't work if they didnt HAVE to falls apart when you realize that jobs CAN be fun, but no matter how fun if you are struggling to make a living obviously you are gonna hate working. I don't think I worded this too well but I hope my point makes sense.
i remember ages ago i did a poll on here that was a basic "if you had guarenteed income would you still choose to have a job?" and i was so shocked at how many people said yes. like i couldnt fathom how people would choose to go out every day just because they like having something to do and genuinely say they feel fulfilled by it.
...anyways it turns out if you, like me, consider the mere thought of work to be torture both physically and mentally, no matter how well it pays, you may in fact be experiencing "symptoms" of a "disorder", and should, perhaps, "talk" to your "doctor" ,

It's okay if you don't feel tough. It's okay to be soft and emotional.

jojo's bizarre adventure is a life altering series if you're susceptible to the brainrot pathogen. if you're not i'm sure it's kinda whatever but if you are. you get enrolled in a secret jojo club and you lose the ability to fully speak your mind outside of it. you realize a tantalizing desire to sightsee in italy, but know that you must never, ever set foot there, else you'll risk annoying everyone around you with the constant pointing out of familiar locations. you cannot go to an aquarium without thinking, "jotaro kujo would love this." when you take a drink of water that's especially refreshing, you think of okuyasu, in tonio's restaurant, where he cried the sleeplessness out of his eyes, and wish you could do the same. and like a zombie, you attempt to spread the disease to others, the people you love most. you say to them, with a sly smile, "hey, there's this anime i think you would like," and if they're not sick of hearing about it, on the off chance they decide to try it, and like it, you'll rejoice at having another person share your curse. now you're both ruined, swapping looks and pointing out things "you just thought were cool." you have matching cherry earrings. your music taste is better than it's ever been.
this is so fucking real cause in my sci fi story there is a school that is briefly mentioned in one arc, and instead of actually developing the narrative ive spent nearly a year working on a fictional paper published by a professor at said school on how a certain facet of the superpower system works. that prof would be mentioned by name ONCE in the actual narrative and that specific facet is literally too weak for it to ever be important to the main plot, but its fun so why not
No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story
