Most people are killing their selves with third jobs to share apartments.
Freezing to death while drinking porridge?
No, Freezing to death while drinking porridge together
While they left Eeyore to freeze to death alone. Who's the real ass here?
Eh, better to celebrate those who could keep up than to fret over those who couldn't.
That's a great way to justify not putting in a wheelchair ramp
Poor Eeyore in his burro, no doubt muling and complaining.
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.
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.
Some people have no lives, because theirs was taken by the system.
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.
tHIs gEnerATIOn is sO LAzy, TheY JUST doN'T Want tO WorK!
Pooh and gang enjoying the better grind, the coffee kind.
Don't normalize the grind. Rather normalize the unwind.
R.I.P. Piglet. They just let my boy freeze out there.
Normalize an 8 hour working day
Sounds pretty normal to me. At least for developed countries.
*4 hour Tiftfy
Mine is 7hr 21mins. It is too long.
This is hygge.
Käften danskjävel
JEG ELSKER HYGGE
hyggelig indeed
Un-normalise the word normalise.
Don't feed yourself into the grind, feed coffee beans into the grind and share with the homies.
Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.
I do it myself each weekend, makes for a great start to the morning.
I don’t understand this trend of wanting to be more vulnerable. Through technology you can achieve anything, anything, you want. What you do with that tool is up to you, I know of several markets that have opened up specifically over the last 5 years max that provide work for yourself opportunities. Free education and literature. Everything is out there but we need to arm the children and the adult with this knowledge in advance so they can make full use of its true power.
We have arguably the largest libraries ever created in digital worlds, proxies away from oppressive regimes through game servers which host things like banned books and whistle blower docs.
Whatever it is you choose to do about this world, don’t choose to buckle. And for those of us that are strong enough and privileged enough, it’s our duty to educate and help our neighbors who may need help. It’s a big responsibility and communication isn’t always an innate skill, it takes hard work - but it’s worth doing to me.
Okay... but what does that have to do with grind vs friends?
When did I say they were mutually exclusive? I specifically called out being a good neighbor.
Friends are important. The subcontext of this meme is that they’re all hungry and just are bundled up in one spot, the meme reads essentially “fuck the grind just hole up with friends”. I’m pushing back on that push and trying to inspire drive, interest, and prosperity.
Of course friends are important.
Ah, I see, that makes sense. I just thought it was a total non sequitur.
I guess I've gotten too used to Twitter where some accounts post total non sequitur motivational quote tweets under trending funny animal videos.
Normalise Pooh having a rough day? Sounds like grind to me!
Gotta stop putting suckers and suckerism on a pedestal.
Tea with homies
Pick one
Are you mad they cross posted a meme to different communities in different instances?
I'm not mad, I just tought it was funny.
It's sad that app doesn't bunch together a crosspost. The web UI have this function and it's cleaner.
I wonder how many times I'll see this getting reposted... Do you guys have a folder and you just go through it like a playlist on repeat?
Grind/hustle... that's technically known as the Grustle.
