Freezing to death while drinking porridge?

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 61 points 10 months ago

No, Freezing to death while drinking porridge together

[-] sirxdaemon@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

While they left Eeyore to freeze to death alone. Who's the real ass here?

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Poor Eeyore in his burro, no doubt muling and complaining.

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 4 points 10 months ago

Eh, better to celebrate those who could keep up than to fret over those who couldn't.

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

That's a great way to justify not putting in a wheelchair ramp

[-] guitarsarereal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Drinking porridge out of cups? That's sick.

We need to stop ~~attempts to normalize~~ the system that requires grind/hustle lifestyle to exist
Most people are ~~killing their selves~~ being killed by said system, that demands third jobs and to share apartments because those at the top need another yacht.

FTFY

Abso-fucking-lutely, this, all the way.

People aren't "work-a-holics." They ain't there because it's their dream. They're there because they need absurd amounts of money to survive in this neoliberal capitalist dystopia.

Those that say they rise and grind and love it are faking it til they make it. They'll never make it, and will fake it to the grave.

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I think both are true. I know plenty of people that take absolute undeniable pride in working 50-70 hour weeks every week and never taking a day off. It's like their life's defining characteristic.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Some people have no lives, because theirs was taken by the system.

[-] Dimok@reddthat.com 36 points 10 months ago

It's bad everywhere, but what's scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of "we don't have enough people" and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just..scary.

I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade

Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

"I delivered a cost reduction of 21 cents per man hour to the shareholders, so my bonus is going up this year" type of thing?

Don't normalize the grind. Rather normalize the unwind.

[-] sirxdaemon@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago

Pooh and gang enjoying the better grind, the coffee kind.

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

R.I.P. Piglet. They just let my boy freeze out there.

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago

Normalize an 8 hour working day

[-] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

Sounds pretty normal to me. At least for developed countries.

Don't feed yourself into the grind, feed coffee beans into the grind and share with the homies.

[-] threeduck@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Un-normalise the word normalise.

[-] Deftdrummer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Provocative removed

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Grind/hustle... that's technically known as the Grustle.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 5 points 10 months ago

Normalise Pooh having a rough day? Sounds like grind to me!

All the animals of the Hundred Acres Woods, are living in tree they’re renting from Christopher Robin.

Gotta stop putting suckers and suckerism on a pedestal.

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 4 points 10 months ago

Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.

[-] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 8 points 10 months ago

I do it myself each weekend, makes for a great start to the morning.

[-] Eriion@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Tea with homies

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

That looks like being poo-r with no honeys. Guess I'll have to bounce and keep on the grind.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

We need to normalize Xi Jinping thought?
