It’s from the best car commercial of all time

What the fuck does this even mean?

I mean sure they exist, but they also have at most 2 posts. I understand that Lemmy is still growing, but god damn does is feel empty compared to what Reddit offered.

I 100% agree that there are far too many people working the hours I work out of necessity. I also agree that I shouldn’t have to work the hours that I do, but I’m also in a less common situation where I’m working these hours out of (to an extent) my own free will. I’m in my clinical year of vet school right now so I fully knowingly signed up for this ahead of time. I absolutely could get another job somewhere else, that would probably pay just as well with better work life balance, but honestly I love what I do too much.

None of that is to say that the medical field isn’t horribly exploitative and in desperate need of an overhaul. But also I’m not going to be the one to push for that change, or at least not until I’m firmly established in my field. Unfortunately I’ve gotta just go along with it for now if I want to be able to keep doing what I love.

Maybe you should focus your anger towards your boss who isn’t paying you enough and not on the customer who is unfairly being expected to subsidize your salary.

I used to cook literally every day of the week, but then I started clinical rotations and now I’m working 14-16 hour days 6-7 days a week. I’ve entirely stopped cooking for myself, even though it was previously my favorite hobby, because there’s no fucking way I can fit it into my schedule anymore. Anyone who wants to call me lazy can go fuck themselves, and doubly so for anyone who argues it’s my fault for paying exorbitant prices for delivery “because there are alternatives”. I don’t have the luxury of voting with my wallet and it honestly makes me made whenever I complain about unregulated prices and am told I should just not use the service and instead do X, Y, or Z option that isn’t even close to practical for me.

Congrats, you posted the first racist meme I’ve seen on lemmy.

I usually just catch up on sleep and chores. Maybe play some videogames if I have time leftover.

People keep making these memes, yet I keep seeing plenty of vitriol in the comments

God damn that’s the first loss meme in years that’s actually made me laugh

That depends a lot on what your degree is and how well you sell it’s relevance pst graduation.

I worked 82 out of the last 93 days. I’m exhausted.

Look I’m all for taxing the wealthy, but saying we should force billionaires, or really anyone for that matter, to give up everything more than $60k/year is fucking laughably insane.

Wow. Those are some truly bad takes.

Are you really trying to say The Shawshank Redemption and Forest Gump are just “meh”?

This is an X parrot!

Just drink less?

I absolutely hated them untill suddenly one day I loved them ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She can afford to live in a castle, and she wants to live in a castle. There’s no need to say she has to feel guilty because other people can’t live in a castle. Unless you’re the unluckiest person alive, there’s always going to be people who aren’t as fortunate than you. In her case it’s easy to point a finger because it’s a castle, but honestly where’s the cutoff? Should she feel guilty if she had instead chosen to live in a less expensive but still large and nice house? What about if she lived in a modest one? She still has a house and those other people still don’t. Should she feel guilty because she can afford fine dining while many people can’t afford to eat? What if she chose to eat only fast food? There’s still other people that can’t afford to eat regardless of the quality of food she chooses.

I’m not going to pretend I know anything about how she uses her money outside of what’s presented in this meme. She absolutely has the kind of wealth where it would be morally responsible of her to use some of it to help others less fortunate. Maybe she does that already, maybe not. I don’t know.

If she doesn’t then yeah, maybe there would be a reason for her to feel guilty; but even then I wouldn’t say she for sure should. But for the sake of argument let’s say she does regularly contribute to charities. Should she still feel guilty about living in a castle? She’s already contributing, but she could contribute more if she didn’t live in a castle. But that begs the question, how much should she have to contribute? If she still has enough money left over to live in luxury should she feel guilty? I’d argue not.
