Actually jokerfying

Media heads have come up with a derogatory term for “knowledge workers” who do dare do their bs work that can be done anywhere with internet

“Remote work” doesn’t actually mean remote work. It means work where you live. Finish up early while not at home and do literally anything else? Fuck you, you’re quiet vacationing

Honestly, when do we [redact] these people parroting this nonsense

Lmao and even those routinely get them accused of being violent when the pigs show up with their tear gas and rubber bullets

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Liberals are fun to watch in the same way a car crash is fun to watch imo

Did the SCOTUS just give any president clearance to fucking kill them? Based if true

Wages are not determined by the employed, but by the competition of the unemployed, who rather than starve, will accept any wages on which they can barely subsist

My friend found a book called history of the middle and working class written by some Brit named John Wade and published in 1833 and it seems like he beat Marx to the punch on a lot of shit (he would’ve been a teenager)

Also, does this not sound like the reserve army of labor?

“…Here then we should have a new caste of population, encouraged, and virtually called into being, who are constrained by their lot to live as a sort of bondmen beneath the par of human liberty and enjoyment, and whose very presence in the land would operate as a depressing incubus on the condition of the working people. They would form a body of reserve, from whom masters might indefinitely draw in every question of wages between themselves and their men, and by means of whom, therefore, they could, as in a market overstocked with labour, bring down infinitely its price

Makes me think that maybe we should appeal to other randos who repeated Marxist talking points to show that these ideas have always existed (who am I kidding that probably wouldn’t help)

And that LLM is going to be treated better than you when things start to cook, you best believe it lmao

Almost like we should do something about this

And tradition. Made a fucking comment about how his grandpa used to say *extremely vulgar and classist statement.” You could tell he disagreed with him but the Catholic and puritanical part almost trumped it. So insane to me how people just don’t deconstruct what they’ve been taught

Of course his ancestors have been super comfortable. Holy fuck I am such a communist it hurts

I don’t count productivity or coding as a net good for what it’s worth. Fun, sure, but it’s truly incredible how the influx of AI hasn’t been used to create a more efficient way to distribute resources irl

Tech bros are a scourge on humanity and I truly wish for nothing but the worst for them

kinda ominous, it’s one of those moments where you can see who is a writer and an entertainer, like a power struggle between the man (Drake) and the little guy (Kendrick)

Literally speaking, neither are really the little guy, but imo you can see who views music as a nourishment for the soul and who treats it as something to be consumed. And damn does it show

Also, I feel like these moments make me foolishly hopefully that people will notice the aforementioned microcosm of a factor that makes life hard for fucking everyone, but it never seems to come does it.

I have a urine drug test on Tuesday morning and last smoked on Sunday

I’m not a chronic smoker or anything, but I do it recreationally (because I haven’t had to take a drug test in probably 6-7 years at this point)

Is there any hope for me to pass? Everywhere online says I’m fucked

Oh my. It seems like a shitload of otherwise progressive people have no qualms about the idea of a traditional marriage and the man retaining most of the control by default.

This makes me very uncomfortable because I have met some women who have internalized this idea (idk is it that patriarchy or am I overreacting?) which is just so weird to me.

Like, you’re a left-leaning person up until the point where you’re happy to be in a relationship with a cishet man who controls you now. This is society I guess 🤷‍♂️

And C-Suites are freaking the fuck out (my company) because we’re completing all of the work in <40 hours per week, which causes them to lose money lmao It is so fucking wild to me how no one sees the glaring problem here

All of this AI shit should’ve stayed as nothing more and nothing less than a tool to make the very monotonous work done by everyone just a tad easier.

It feels like we’re in such a massive fucking bubble right now on the scale of how people have talked about the sub prime mortgage crisis.

My boomer ass parents just keep telling me to wait for things to get better, but how can you wait for things to get better when things are just statistically worse for everyone

I guess it took me a very long time to learn that there are people who are absolutely glued to instagram and TikTok the way I am to everything on my phone in general. I also started thinking about how all of the people I’ve met since my junior year of college (2020) have been people I only knew online, then I transitioned to work which is completely online, and here I am, still meeting more people online through dating apps, discord, instagram, and TikTok. I truly can’t grasp the absurdity of it all, I am living a cyberpunk reality (and I know I’m not the only one).

For the longest time, I thought to myself “Nah everyone else still goes out and meets people, I’m one of the weird ones.” But then I went outside. And I saw people doing what I’m doing right now in the comfort of my own home.

Makes total and complete sense why billionaires invested so highly in crypto and the metaverse. It’s actually another form of class war but applied to the digital realm 🙃

How much longer until we can consider technology, which should’ve been nothing other than a tool, as the new opiate of the masses

Have seen so many otherwise tame people go mask off fash because you can’t argue with logic (never mind the root cause of the logic in question)

I am seriously fucking terrified. I think philosophy might be dead thanks to pompous tech bros

Especially with TikTok+ this year’s taxes 😵‍💫 the average person isn’t going to realize that the 2017 tax bill is biting people this year (me included), and it’s much easier to blame genocide Joe.

Kinda pissed lololol I make a squarely average amount of money and owe 2K. Love it here

I think I’m falling for my internet pen pal (who really seems much more than that). I don’t know what the fuck happened, but some redditor messaged me about a very niche post I made on a niche subreddit and we’ve been talking for almost 6 months.

I’ve never seen them, they’ve never seen me, etc. But like I said we’ve been messaging (first on Reddit then I got their number) pretty consistently now.

It’s truly bizarre but I think I found someone who understands me idk weird af
