At the bare minimum, if a job does not pay enough to for one to stay alive, then one is in a desperate situation. One must treat this as a "hair on fire" emergency. That time at work is wasted and you deserve better.

#Because there used to be subreddits focused on being a jerk. When it was time to be "real", then fake HTML tags were used to mark it.

I love that this goofy-looking kid is now the (other) heartthrob from The Bear.

Don't forget cousin Engels

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

And second cousin's, half sister's former college roommate's best friend from high school Lenin

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Oddly, no one has heard from Lenin's friend Trotsky for awhile.

Ugh that guy WOULD NOT shut up about how everyone who slightly disagreed with him was "infantile." Insufferable, I dare you to tell that dude he's a little wrong about something.

I just really hate the Eagles, man!

Well that's just, like, you're opinion, man

Don't forget his best friend Mr Bakunin!

They were such good friends. Some theories say they made out a bunch.

and they have the gall to suggest that if we don't accomplish enough outside of work then it's a matter of time management. There's only so much time management I can do when a giant lump of my time is gone.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't even give that much.

But you can in many cases take enough! Surveillancs tools were made to be snipped smashed and painted,

And afterwards the government is shocked when workers disappear in the shadow economy.

I receive majority of your day

You receive a minute fraction of my profits (which by the way does not increase even if the profits sky rocket)

It would be a lot easier to swallow if we were a part of some grand endeavor of building society and stuff for the common good. But if you try yo do that, even on your own time, they will send men with guns paid with money they stole out of your paycheck (which would maybe be tolerable if they also did, like, environmental protection or work safety or food safety or social safety nets or whatever, but it's all just men with guns taking ypur neighbors in pre-dawn raids and shooting at your friends and threatening to murder you now).

So fuck it. Take what you're owed; you owe these fuckers nothing.

And if you want to make a society, remember upull have to find out whe4e these murderous thugs live, always outside your community, and vote for them. Vote for theor families. Don't be shy about voting for bystanders if you vote for them where they live; anyone who makes a place nice for these invaders to live deserves your vote too.

It doesn’t make sense for life to be unaffordable.

This post was probably posted by an a US or Europe person doing more than 2k usd a month.

When your rent is almost a thousand, then it dries up fast.

and?

where is the difference between earning $300 and needing $285 to stay alive, and earning $2000 and needing $1900 to stay alive?

The secret to reclaiming your life is the the 8 hours that've been stored away and you're that you'rw missing out on.
