We should all aspire to such monkey business.

Or a Red Bull ad 🤔. Jk

why do people put the extra X in there? indolence?

My best guess is it’s become a sort of linguistic meme, poking fun at incels who’d ramble on about things like “looks-maxxing”.

Or maybe it’s a combo of that and “min-maxing” from gaming communities. The extra X makes it more maximum. LOL

Taxing, faxing, relaxing…

LOL fellow American also bamboozled by this concept. “Burnout leave” to us is when you finally snap and quit, cutting off your healthcare and income all in one go.

Hope you have multiple “streams of income” and “side hustles” if nothing else is “lined up”!

For the majority of us burnout isn’t a pathology, it’s the most American state of being. 😂
