I don't mind doing work, but I do mind not being compensated enough that even working 60+ hours a week won't afford me even the cheapest rat-hole to live in. The fuck is the point of spending my time slaving away for some rich fuck to get richer while I live in the street or a car if I am lucky?

The slavery is the point. The robber-barons of 100 years ago determined a tired, busy workforce doesn't have time to organize or protest.

(The idea wasn't precisely new - they didn't invent exploitation, but they shaped the industrial revolution and as such their impact can be felt across the modern world.)

Those kids have no idea whatsoever of what went on at Stalingrad.

Next time censor the J word please

[–] SippyCup 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

In the future they'll just censor all of the verbs, nouns, and adjectives.

Or, in modern parlance, "In the f*ture th*y'll just c*ns*r all of the v*rbs, n**ns and adj*ctives."

The star will be the only vowel. Eventually they'll just drop it all together and English will be only consonants. Children will ask "nn gndrd prnt fgr, why ds th kybrd hv ths xtr fnny lttrs?" And no one will know the answer.

I don't like that you didn't censor any "y", even in words that it is clearly a vowel.

[–] SippyCup 2 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I never learned when Y was a vowel and at this point I'm to afraid to ask.

So I had a minute of boredom and looked it up.

As it turns out, much like I before E, the "sometimes" rule we learned as children is the fucking opposite of truth.

Y is a consonant when it makes the "yuh" sound in words like yellow and yak.

It's literally always a vowel otherwise.

It's a vowel when you can pronounce the sound without moving your lips

Me to everyone around me when I'm on vacation

[–] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 hours ago

You mean vacation from your job?

Trust fund babies can be so cruel 😢

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 47 points 1 day ago

Imagine having a job, lol

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel attacked that one of the jobdonthavers is wearing a TTGL shirt.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 19 hours ago

That may be, but I still believe. In the me that I believe in. In humanity. In the future. I believe. My drill is my soul!
