  • I've been working at a rich ladies house the last few weeks.

    If you used her money to feed an entire town for a month, she wouldn't even know.

  • UBI works too

    Jump

  • 8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.

  • Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.

    It all has this very dystopian vibe of "everything within the corporation eco system" and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we're at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.

  • I can confidently say I'm cringe af

  • More than one-third of millennials believe they won’t get a dime of Social Security when they retire, so they’re taking matters into their own hands

    Jump

  • Not having children is my retirement. I will probably work till I'm old and gray so I just tuck what I can away, buy things that hold value, and live my life.

  • Did humans, at some point, believe that the universe is 18 billion years old, prior to the 13.8 billion estimate?

    Jump

  • My geology teacher told me is was 6000 years old though! Dragons = dinosaurs!

  • “Both sides”, am I right? 😂

    Jump

  • I'd imagine you'd want a constant state of revolution to keep the party honest. I don't know much theory and this is my limited understanding.

  • [Serious] How can a person "rejection-proof" their life?

    Jump

  • Just come to terms, probobly through traumatic events, that all life is is rejection. Then there is no rejection. There all done!

  • in a general sense, how would you feel about people having their pet dog(s) in the workplace?

    Jump

  • One dog in my current line of work is too much already usually. However I always love it and makes me happy to give my attention to a pup. But I'd say in general no. Too many cooks.

  • Did the "American dream" change over time, or was it just my interpretation of it?

    Jump

  • Well said.

    Took me a while to recognize the instilled behavior, and even longer to unwind the tendrils and it's effects on my life in general. Capitalism has instilled a martyr complex into us.

    I am a go where the wind blows kind of person and settled on working for myself. Much out of necessity as well, cause a company would absolutely not hire me anymore. I am still "poor", but I make my own schedule at least. If I'm gonna get fucked, I'd like to choose how.

  • favourite unknown artist?

    Jump

  • Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state?

    Jump

  • Hey you sound just like me. If your going to move, perhaps somewhere like PA? It's got the benefit of being a battleground state, and there's more than enough rural areas, even relatively close to the cities, where you can continue your hermitage. I'm doing something similar (:

  • RULElight yourself

    Jump

  • I'm at the "I'm actually glad I experienced all that crazy traumatic stuff" stage of the gas lighting.

  • What do you choose?

    Jump

  • It'd be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

  • The US Is Openly Stockpiling Dirt on All Its Citizens

    Jump

  • It's already extremely easy for LE to drum up basically whatever charge and stick it to you, for the majority of citizens with no funds for a lawyer.

    We've already got the plate scanners. Everytime I drive by one, my file pops as a red flag and a stop is more than likely, just to "check in" with me, usually with some false pretense like "i thought your window was cracked, my bad, but where you going tonight?" I'm not technically on paper, but I am treated as such. Easy arrest potential with some bs probable cause.

    The fact that it will continue to go further doesn't surprise me. Makes the job even easier for them. If you aren't a good consumer, you will be prosecuted.
