    Today was actually just for the burrito, but I work at a petrol station, it’s quite close to home so I don’t really get to drive far to work.

    It’s gt car, good for long open roads at whatever speed limit is applicable, not so much for families because mine is the coupe and anyone with legs cannot really fit in the back seat.

        I live rural, got used to being in a car a lot so the ~65km round trip doesn’t really bother me., and it’s a damn good burrito. We’ll just ignore the burrito cost a similar amount to the fuel. I have noticed that people who grew up in the city, or at least closer to it wont drive much. Get fill in coworkers a lot, one is like 50km away from the store and was like ‘way too far, I’ll never drive that again’. On the other hand, if someone else pays for the fuel I’d just drive as far as need be, 50, 500, 5000 all kinda the same if I’m not paying. Helps having a good car with a decent sound system.

        Free time I mostly just play games, watch videos on youtube (gaming/tech/science/cars mostly) or get pissed at my internet being incapable of doing any of the previous. Rural, thick stone walls, not getting great signal for data through that unfortunately and our landline got removed a few months ago, not that it had the ability to play online games anyway, think it was the same line from like 1999 or some shit. Everything needing more data and companies expecting everyone to have broadband is a royal pain in the arse.

          Sounds like you live in rural Scandinavia or something bruv haha. So tell me more about some goals you have in life. You said you work at a petrol station, do you feel like you could be doing something more? Maybe you want to travel the world or start a family if you haven’t started one already. Maybe it’s to make an impact on your community. What’s a milestone you want to check off your list?

            I don’t have a globe to look at but Scandinavia might be as opposite as it could possibly get.

            I have almost no goals or ambitions. I want enough money to be co.fortabke and then just wait for it to be over. Not interested in a family, hate kids in general because I can’t really deal well with people I can’t ommunicate with and kids have that issue for many years in a row.

            I work at a petrol station because minimum wage + casual loading fee means I don’t need to work a whole lot to get enough money. My expenses with the new car are like 22k a year so if I can avoid a ton of work by keeping expenses low, I’m gonna avoid a ton of work haha.

                  This is quite something. I don’t think I’ve ever interacted with someone who basically lives for the day like you. Do you have any worries? Although I’m guessing your answer might be: “being uncomfortable” haha

                    Living for the day makes it sound I’m interested in the day, whereas I merely let life happen to me. The majority of my worries are just bullshit anxiety issues that will never actually happen.

                    It would take a hurceleun amount of effort to change my life in any meaningful way, or someone giving me 7 figures for fun which obviously will never happen, so I just do the bare minimum and will likely continue doing that til I die
