    I wonder what they do for a job, and i wonder how many hours a week they work.

    I would imagine its less then 38 a week.

      They are a popular streamer, based on her usual content this take is most likely satire

        I’m glad, but you’re saying it like you’d expect that everyone follows her lol. There are in fact literally tens if not hundreds of millions of content creators that I don’t follow 😁

          It’s just one of those examples that helps us realize how extremely easy it is to misinterpret information without the appropriate context, yet we consume endless context-less content and all the time our brains assume we know the meaning and assigns some kind of judgement on the information or person, but without that appropriate context we really have no idea whatsoever, but we’re constantly building a worldview based on what we’re reading and seeing even though we really aren’t getting it right at all. Isn’t that just a mind fuck?

      I used to work as a utility locator. I was the guy who would mark the lines in your yard when you “Call 811 before you dig”.

      The company I worked for was so badly managed that I’m shocked they haven’t gone under or been sued out of existence, but it may have just been this one regional office. They expected everyone to work 12 hours per day, six or seven days a week, and when it was your turn on call, you would be working all night. It will wear your mind down like you wouldn’t believe. I worked there for a year. I almost lost my wife. A long-time friend died, and they told me I couldn’t go to his funeral. (I went to the funeral. I had figured out they couldn’t afford to fire anyone) I very nearly crashed the company truck a few times from lack of sleep.

      What finally made me see sense and go find literally any other job was one night I was trying to get to sleep, and there was a police helicopter flying back and forth over my neighborhood. They were flying around when I had to go out on a call at 11 pm, and when I got back home at 1 am they were still flying around. I found myself seriously considering shooting the helicopter out of the sky just so I could get an hour of sleep. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t want to shoot at anyone. But I had not been able to get more than a half hour of sleep for two days and I wasn’t thinking clearly.

    You don’t NEED anything besides air, water, sufficient nutrition, and protection from extreme environments.

      My 5 year-old nephew told me yesterday that he needs a new Pokemon. Can you add that to the list? He really needed it.

      All but one of which are made expensive through artificial scarcity so that rich leeches can leech some more. And they’re selling air too, just haven’t found a way to legally limit access to it yet.

        They can’t sell it, but they can pollute air and then sell you “time off” on the clean air of their resorts, which is good enough

          They can and do literally sell air. Because why leave money on the table, as exploiters are fond of saying 🤬

            They didn’t even bother to make it canned. Reality is truly worse than fiction.

    If you remove free time, people spend less money on entertainment, trips, restaurants, museums… Whole economies depend on that.

      It’s not about the economy, it’s about widening the class gap and inflicting suffering.

    My mind goes to that snippet going around some time ago about peasants having 100+ holidays a year.

    Like, yeah. People need ample time off. Even feudal lords knew their surfs needed time off.

          Can we push that to 0 day. We can take our time, just let’s do it in my lifetime. I’ll do the creative thing I want to do when I don’t need to work
