@carnage4life Some headline writer has never been stuck in traffic while the clock is ticking on the time daycare closes. There is nothing “psychologically recover”ing about rush hour traffic.
@ahsiet@carnage4life seriously. Everyone can go in out and sit in their car for a couple tunes for some liminal space between work and home time... No gas expenses, no traffic.
@DeborahForPlus@ahsiet@carnage4life heck, just go for a walk with your headphones on. No car even needed (if you live somewhere you can avoid having one).
@DeborahForPlus@ahsiet@carnage4life This right here. I used to look forward to my drive home to relax after a long shift. When I changed careers and went to work from home i was worried about getting my time to relax and found just walking out to my patio and enjoying the peace that was much better since it requires zero concentration unlike driving. I do wish I had more options for when I do feel like working away from hime like other places.
@ahsiet@carnage4life Haha! It's a horrible attempt to make us believe that mindless, wasteful time spent with our cars is more valuable than with families and loved ones after a day of trading our labor for money instead of domestic accomplishments. Those crazy capitalists!
