Reddit personified, CGP Grey, once made a video arguing that an ideal work week would make Wednesday a standard day off in place of Saturday. So you would work two days, have one day off, work three days, have Sunday off, etc.

As someone who has been working this type of schedule for a few months I can confirm this is absolute shit.

Have you considered this:

The illusion of free thought

So far I have spent over a thousand dollars cleaning up after my late boomer parents. I am filled with disgust over the endless pils of garbage. They weren't horders. They were downwardly mobile middle class but the garage just had shelves of infinite decorative glassware. Stuff we never used. Stuff that was "going to be ours someday" or "worth something" after trying to sell the stuff and realizing everyone already had too much I tried to give it to like thift stores. They are downing in the stuff and no one wants it from them. It hurt to just throw it away. The waste is offensive. The waste they spent on keeping it all their lives. The waste it was produced. The fact I am wasting it because no one wants a mass produced princess house punch bowl. All my people I talk to tell me I am crazy and that the stuff must be worth something. However at best it could probably break even with transportation and handling. That would just be putting this infinite boomer shit problem someplace else. I did a yard sale where I ended up just trying to give it away and boomers were dutifully appraising the stuff to see if it could have some place in their hord. "Can you tell me about this one?" No, it was a shitty overpriced decorative teapot. Just take the damn thing. I am not even thinking about the fact this is what we did with the colonialism we spent everyone else's lives on. It is so galling that capitalism can't even be good at the shit it was designed for.

Me, (a social democrat at the time,) listening to "Love Me, I'm a Liberal" back in 2014.

FUCK

I made the fucking vegan dish too well tonight and all the fucking carnists in school are eating it, not realizing it's vegan. I'm trying to leave early but I can't fucking do that if they're gonna run out of shit

No thanks

"Eat shit" "Lib" "Post hog" is unoriginal, basic. "I hope your crush starts a politcal substack" is terrifying. Realistic, hits at the heart. It could happen to you. It happened to me.

Which should I try to spread:

The German word for lawn, translated literally, means "ground beard" OR

The German word for beard, translated literally, means "face lawn?"

my excessive twitch chatting has given me texting rizz on dating apps. unfortunately it has also given me brainrot. I'm still chatting with this Filipino guy and he was GIGACHADing me so I said and he was really confused and slightly weirded out. Then I asked if he knew and he also didn't know it I am deeply broken

funniest bit of the federation growing pains was some radlib saying they got afraid every time someone with pronouns replied to them in case they'd accidentally said something virulently racist

wow The Phantom Menace really hits you right out the gate with that bad japanese accent huh

Lawn guys started at 7:30 on what’s not their normal day

If I go to prison for murdering someone with a weed wacker that is why

Ban small gasoline engines, what the absolute fuck why are these things still legal. I don’t think you should have the right to generate that much noise and pollution just to make your grass short.

This apartment has more issues with noise than anywhere I’ve ever lived. I can hear my next door neighbor snoring. We have single paned windows so I can hear every conversation that happens outside. Why the fuck are single pane windows even legal.

Watching Generative AI presentations at work has a big bitcoin feeling. A solution searching for a use case. Simple parsing and search. Like, two things you want reliability in and not something known for "hallucinating" aka making things up since it doesn't think and only puts the next word expected in a text.

Car brain mf so weird. "You should wash your car more it'll look nicer!" Mf do you see how much fucking pollen is everywhere right now? Shit will be dirty again in an hour. Car goes from A to B and sometimes C it does not have to be clean to do that.

love rugged individualism, love how my partner has to give up her whole life in her mid-late 20s to be a carer full time for her mom bc this fuck ass country can’t provide any kind of care for the poor

How I know I’m a liberal: I just received my first ban from . I told a user to stfu for saying homophobic shit.

wtf is up with destiny fans? why tf would anyone spend the majority of their spare time harassing people on the internet over literally just saying their favourite middle aged fascist cuck loser wasn't pleasant to be around?

The most right-wing coalition government in the country's history was just formed in my country, consisting of 4 right-wing parties, led by an anti-Islamic fascist party that's openly Zionist and gets funded by Israel.

Ancestry says I'm 1% Ashkenazi. Can I preface any posting with "As A Jew, "

Wasted my afternoon getting worked up at the state of public transit in the country and looking at an old trolley map of my city.

Pissed at myself because there was a Nakba Day commemoration event in my town today that I didn't know about and missed. Could have been a good opportunity to meet some comrades and people who care about the things I care about. Fuck.

Look I hate to hand it to a monarch, but Charles's portrait fucks so hard, that shit is just cool.

Had a run-in with a guy who said that the reason Europeans were willing to colonize the Earth and destroy the environment was because "they started worshiping greed instead of god" and touted theocracy as a solution.

When I pointed out that

His response was "Actually, if you read the whole Bible, it doesn't support that [so presumably, you'd be fine.]"

Got top surgery. But I'm a cis dude. Bye bye man boobs. My gyno was pretty mild but damn the doc still pulled two thick juicy straggly golf-ball sized glands out of my chest and wiggled them in front of me. Super excited to actually be able to see gym progress on my chest now, and be able to wear tight clothes without feeling stressed as fuck. Lets gooooo

my dog has spent all morning guilting me for not taking her on a second walk immediately after her first walk today. I think she's also mad at me because my partner left for work while we were out

First off, I recognize that I’m super privileged and so many have it much worse than me

With that out of the way, I am absolutely miserable living in the United States and wish deeply that I could work a job that contributes something to the world and not one of many corporations competing with one another. It gets super fun when people just tell me “if I don’t like it here, I can just leave.” LMAO I fucking wish it was that easy

My hottest take possible, but perhaps the “developing world” is still developing for a reason. You know how dogs and cats live like 20 years max if they’re lucky? Maybe our obsession with endless growth and development is contrary to how humans were meant to live. People say I shouldn’t complain because life expectancy is at an all time high or whatever but what fucking good is that when the majority struggles to fucking live.

Since corporations are people now, we are witnessing what would’ve happened had the Russian Revolution never happened. For the longest time I thought, “Sure, I’m just extremely online. If I go outside things will be different/better.” But as it turns out, most of us are online to distract from the horrors of the outside world. Everything, be it structures or people, has been completely captured by capital. And how does it continue to get worse? Because with infinite growth comes infinite problems

In western table manners it is considered a gross faux pas to stick your knife and fork upright in your potato mash because it symbolises 9/11

I don't wanna anymore, went out for groceries today and I can't help looking around and thinking "this shit's all fucked and so much of it could be fixed so easily if we could do a socialism"

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object:

Theres something massively uncool about anime fandom and conventions that I cant put my finger on.

I dont like modern anime and the consumerist culture around it. But theres something about the people they attract too.

I want anime to be a dweeby nerdy interest and gatekeep it away from insert popular shonen fans.

scrubbing potatoes is like a million 9/11s on my wrists

Cloud gaming seems so dumb. I'm gonna guess it's not less resource intensive as local gaming (in terms of energy consumptipn), then you get added latency and macroblocking. I really hope it never goes too mainstream.
