erranto ,

It’s a ridiculous situation, where you are left feeling like shit. and when you get the job you realize it is not you but the company is the shit

I feel like I was born at the worst point in time.

Chunk ,

I would rather be raped by Apple than raped be Mongols just saying.

erranto ,

A least back in that time I could just go into some desolate forest labor a patch of land, raise some chickens and not be bothered by anyone. now the homeless can’t even sleep in the park or public land without having the rich and the state chase them off.

dustyData , (edited )

That patch of land belongs to the King, peasant. Off the Kingswoods with you.

erranto ,

Kingdoms back then didn’t have as much control of the land and the people as nation states with all the suppressing technological and army apparatus of today. In many parts of the world you’ll be living peacefully for decades before any tax collectors showed up. World history goes beyond Europe’s borders

Cryophilia ,

And die at the ripe old age of 35

Gabu ,

You had the boomer take of “hurr durr, they don’t teach history anymore” one reply up, then immediately say dumb shit like this…

Cryophilia ,

Yeah yeah the average life expectancy was dragged down because of infant mortality I know. Congratulations, you found a technicality, dumbass. Do you deny my general point - which there’s no way you’re dumb enough to miss - that the standard of life, and medicine in particular, have vastly improved in the modern era?

Gabu ,

For whom? Define “standard of life”. Define “modern era”.

Cryophilia ,

Fuck you, Sealion, I’m not spending all day defining obvious concepts.

Gabu ,

i.e. you don’t have a point and don’t even want to go through the effort of considering the validity of your own opinions.

Cryophilia ,

No I’m just too wise for your bullshit to work on me. “Define ‘modern era’” what a crock of shit. Come on. I fought in the Meme Wars of 2016. You have to do better than that. Stop trying to bog shit down in useless technicalities. Address my central premise or gtfo.

i hate how we’re supposed to act like we’re the Most Perfect fit for the role, and So Eager! – the most ideal human to ever walk the earth, specifically for this role.

and you get the job and go there and the coworkers aren’t fucking god and apollo, it’s joey and mark

erranto ,

1000 times this. it feels as if I am auditioning to an acting role and not a job interview. I have watched some videos on YouTube on how to ace a job interview in my field, I couldn’t finish a video without feeling my stomach churn. and it is through and through about what you can bring to their company, and very rarely about what they can bring to you.

Even prostitution feels less dehumanizing than a regular job.

Cryophilia ,

I think the guys in the trenches in WW1 would love to trade places with you

Indicah ,

Honestly I think I’d make that trade. At least if they lived they would have a house, family and kids to come home to. And a lifetime of prosperity. I’d trade a few horrible years for that. Either way I wouldn’t have to live an entire lifetime struggling for everything.

Cryophilia ,

Ooof I guess they don’t teach kids history anymore.

Im guessing its that he uses the most rosey speach he can, failing to relize that theres some kind of hell for the returning soldiers, or that they dont return.

Franzia ,

At least in WWI I’d have gotten 4Fs and could off myself without any shame. In this life it’s like, shameful to give up but also impossible to get a scrap of enjoyment out of it.

Edit: also your argument is whataboutism

Cryophilia ,

Why do you care if it’s shameful, you’ll be dead

What a weird thing to worry about
