For me it's saying, "we can't joke about anything anymore". Sirens go off immediately ๐Ÿšจ

The people who respond to everything with "no one owes you anything" and "pull yourself up by the bootstraps".

We all know no one owes us anything, going out of your way to respond like this, actually shows malice.

EDIT: Thank

And these are also the types that claim that individual acts of charity are all we need to solve homelessness, hunger, etc. These assholes didn't get rich by giving it away.

No, you need industrial scale organizations, that are funded by large groups of individuals, and create services for free. Specifically, homes, and living conditions.

I dunno. I feel like the US owes me several years of my life back. I'm not even a US citizen, but their bullshit effected me and my family so badly after 2008 I'm still pissed about it.

[โ€“] AngryRedHerring@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

And what happened in 2008?

[โ€“] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

We will deal with everything that can be dealt with, over time.

FWIW it's "pull" not "pool".

I dunno, I seem to have to remind entitled brats that no one owes them anything not to be mean, but just to remind that in the real not everyone is your mom or dad. Life is tough, you need to earn your spot.

[โ€“] stringere@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

you need to earn your spot.

Do I? From whom? Who owns all these spots and why are we beholden to earn one from them?

Those darn spoiled kids, back in my day we had to suck our landlord's d*** twice every day if we wanted a roof over our heads
