Work isn't the problem. I like working in my yard, on an art project, or helping a friend accomplish a task.

Jobs are the problem. Having to work a job for money is stupid.

Incredible that we (allegedly) demand democracy in our government but we're totally happy with totalitarianism in our economy.

I'm still coming to terms with the idea that I'm probably experiencing serious burn out.

It's brutal. It genuinely feels as though there's no end or way out, unless the world and the way we interact with one another as a society seriously change.

This whole "it costs money to do everything except breathe" thing is getting real old.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 6 points 10 months ago

I big time agree. Except I have asthma, and need medication, so it often costs money to breathe, too. Woohoo!

Places of employment are a dictatorship with strong coercion to behave as though you do not have freedom.

(I have to caveat this thing I say all the time, "a job is like slavery" because someone always pops in to let me know I could leave my job any time... )

Yeah, you're free to die on the streets starving and cold, just like the founding fathers would have wanted.

A BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN REFERENCE? IN THIS CENTURY?!

With the proper modernized correction as well. Bravo.

I'm a 30yo man who lives in the arctic and I unironically use this phrase at least once a day

How's the weather up there? I spent a week or two in Grise Fiord like 20 years ago.

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Been a deep freeze for a couple weeks but nothing lower than -30

Going ice fishing in a couple weeks with the wife

It gets easier the older you get. Once your brain stops processing most of what happens to you due to redundancies the day doesn't take long at all.
