dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Well yeah, it's part of my useful idiot contract.

How do I get in on this? I’ve been trying to get into usefulmaxxing for a while.

I like it. I guess we are coalescing around slop meaning anything with zero Value-Above-Replacement that simply takes your time, and even your memory of that time, without anything to show for it.

anything with zero Value-Above-Replacement

"Jose Iglesias? He plays slopstop."

I like Chipotle

Millennials are wasting our money eating slop bowls instead of creating labormeat!

Those are the rules now? Okay, everything AI produces is now AI slop

No! Not like that!

You're such a shill, bro. You're only trying to sell those electronics because Best Buy is paying you to be a "sales associate"!

The year is 202slop, I eat a slopbowl during my breakslop from my jobslop. I take out my phoneslop and look at tweetslop on the interslop, after I get tired of the aislop and racismslop, I open tikslop to look at rageslop. My breakslop ends and I return to my desk for emailslop, but not before I get another cup of coffeeslop. At 5 o'slop, I go into my carslop and listen to slopcasts on the slopway. I return to my aslopment and wait for my spouseslop to get home from their jobslop and feed my dog dogslop. Finally, we have dinnerslop and watch netslop before we go to bedslop. Life is slop.

If I was a doctor, or an INDIE video game developer, I'd be doing a job I consider either important or a job I actually want, most everything else is just cause I want money, yes

And I am neither a doctor nor a video game developer (of the indie ilk or otherwise)

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I got a job doing what I wanted (it seemed important, aligned with my values, and was intellectually stimulating) and it just turned into another job I didn't want to show up for. Organizing is also a job, but at least I want to do it.

Huge difference between being coerced and not.

Got this on a mug as a reminder lol

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I got into a job that I thought I always wanted. That was naive of me because once I was forced to do the thing it was no longer appealing. Hobbies do not make good jobs because a job will ruin your love of the thing in my experience.

[–] Blep@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I mean yeah thats the point

[–] jjsandwich8@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I just stop showing up, who cares anymore
