    These memes always make me feel awkward considering I work at a data center

    But also I’m not the one guzzling all the water and power, I’m just a guy working here to get paid

      It’s very hard to live in the system without somehow taking part. I work in marketing adjacent industries. My job is fully bullshit. But I love my team, I love problem solving, and I love working with research data. So I’m definitely part of the problem, but where I live there’s not much else my skills work for. And as the sole income earner, renting, I’m insecure enough financially that I don’t really have a choice. Almost like the system was designed that way…
