I mean _pleasure_.
Like some people enjoy swimming with dolphins, skiing down a slope, visiting a new place, opening a window into a pleasant breeze, rampages in dota, getting higher than the empire state, murdering other people, etc.
For me, a movie/experience that makes me cry == work.
Does work feel great? Great sometimes? Comment the situations that you enjoy. What gives you flow state pleasure?
No popcorn on this one folks - if you're a student/NEET/w.e. tell me what watching YouTube all day feels like

Also deliberately excluding that one, it's like... too similar to work
Individually for me, I get pleasure from solving some messy, complex issues - the sense of accomplishment feels great knowing I solved something and learned something interesting. It’s even more exciting when you have coworkers who think alike and you jam together on stuff - best feeling ever! I walk, think of solutions before bed, and it’s super exciting.
Where it hits the fan is I/We take the solution and some random stakeholder instead of giving useful feedback or critical reasoning (an opportunity where we both can learn) shoots it down. The moments where my idea gets shot down due to genuine reasons (which I honestly crave a lot) is a lot lower than it getting shot down because of some bureaucratic, stuck-up process.
So I like to say, I like the beach life! Ride the waves where it makes me happy, go to the coasts when stuck-up processes make me sad, keeps the sanity, keeps the freshness alive!
Nobody knows tho, cuz wfh ;)
Unfortunately OP you don’t have this in your poll
