Similar experiences. I was thinking "that's it? Now i have to do this 5 times a week, recover on the weekend, and then again for the rest of my life?!".
People kept telling me you get used to it. I felt hopeless after couple of years because it didn't get better.
Now I realize that a full time job doesn't need to mean that you are a husk working your life away, always completely drained.
I used to ask the same question as OP, then I discovered this trick (with crap load of luck, I had tried to find a job that I'd enjoy for a long time before I got one).

I honestly interpreted this as a socially awkward way of trying to do small talk - for example talking about weather
Too bad politicians don't have to base their decisions on an expert opinion. Any credible person will answer that this is a bad idea, but the issue is "easy and quick solutions to difficult problems".
Very true!
This is glorious
I'm not quite that organized,
I've donated around 2 euros to huge projects like Wikipedia when they have a donation campaign, or 20 euros to projects like draw.io when I notice on github that they haven't met their monthly goal yet.
The amount and frequency completely depends on my financial situation at the time and I only donate when I am using a piece of software/project (so when I remember, basically) on my free time and decide to check updates/state of the project.
So I'm not a frequent donor to any specific projects and several months may pass without donating any money, but when I have a bit more disposable income and when I'm doing free-time computer related hobbies I take a sum (lets say 50e) and distribute that money depending on project size. Smaller projects get more (less likely to have a lot of donors) big projects less (hopefully they have a lot of people donating small amounts that add up).
I have just the book for you!... Ah, finish in a day, nevermind.
Awhile ago russians were harassing OpenStreetMap by fucking up the data, but the heroic volunteers fixed that quite quickly and kept a close eye on edits.
Fuck people who ruin cool and nice things. And even though some of this kind of malice is state funded, I still blame the asshats for putting money before anything else and taking these jobs. If everyone acted like these assholes their lives would be miserable too.
