Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

The one follows from the other.

People who are better able to provide rare and valuable services will make more money, and have more choice of jobs so they can feel more like they are helping others and are working with people they like. Doing these things would likely make you less depressed.

This doesn't mean you need to become the cheif evil officer at evil corp. It just means you need to get good enough at whatever your niche is (or find a niche to get good at) so that lots of companies will want to hire you, or so you can work for yourself.

Also, if you have this mindset and don't already have a career path you want to follow, then the trades are probably the right path. You are highly insulated from corporate bullshit, your job probably won't be automated anytime soon, it is not a big leap to strike out on your own, and you are helping someone directly every time you show up to work.
