Story of my working life.
And all my experience is bad.
Looking for work makes me depressed.
People who dismiss the unemployed and dependent as ‘parasites’ fail to understand economics and parasitism. A successful parasite is one that is not recognized by its host, one that can make its host work for it without appearing as a burden. Such is a ruling class in a capitalist society.
No, of course you can’t. All I’d waste it on is debt repayment anyway.
I’m fed up. The traditional job search narrative isn’t working for me. The traditional life narrative is off-limits to me. No career, no secure income, no family of my own (for which any potential wife and children breath a sigh of relief.)
My lottery fantasies are a 40-year gap between winning and moving out of home and dying in the early 2050s. No idea what I’d do in the interim. No idea what I can do in the interim.
My intended savings programme is pretty shot, thanks to whammies of scooter rego, Flicker renewal and doctor’s appointments. I’ll have to delay it by a month, at least.
I sometimes wonder if I have anything to offer anyone that nobody can do better. There are better beer brewers (I’m a rank, plastic amateur); better web page designers; better writers; better speakers; better damn DJs who actually have proper experience and hardware.
Yeah, I’m feeling depressed and in a corner and just want to be put to sleep so I don’t have to keep fucking struggling all the fucking time.
i hate that feeling when you actually really do want to be involved with all the fun stuff people are doing but you’re too utterly terrified to ask anyone if you can join in because you dont want to to impose or seem pushy
[A] human economy cannot prescribe the terms of its own success. In a time when we wish to believe that humans are the sole authors of truth, that truth is relative, and that all value judgments are subjective, it is hard to say that a human economy can be wrong, and yet we have good, sound, practical reasons for saying so. It is indeed possible for a human economy to be wrong—not relatively wrong, in the sense of being “out of adjustment,” or unfair according to some definition of fairness—but wrong absolutely and according to practical measures. Of course, if we see the human economy as the only economy, we will see its errors as political failures, and we will continue to talk about “recovery.” It is only when we think of the little human economy in relation to the Great Economy that we begin to understand our errors for what they are and to see the qualitative meanings of our quantitative measures. If we see the industrial economy in terms of the Great Economy, then we begin to see industrial wastes and losses, not as “trade-offs” or “necessary risks” but as costs that, like all costs, are chargeable to somebody, sometime.
i miss getting party bags at the end of parties why dont we still do that party bags were the best part of the party
It was like a reward for being sociable
The fact most people use “You have no right” as another way of saying, “It makes me grumpy” or “Give me what I want” makes me think most people don’t know what the fuck a right is.
Or, Honesty in Fantasy Titles.
Personally I read all four of David Eddings' The Blue McGuffin series, and I enjoyed the Pern books up to All the Weyrs of Pern, which was a natural ending to the series.
After a while though, I began to notice much of fantasy and sf can’t escape the Comedy Troupe Take the McGuffin on a Road Trip format.
Neither ‘pure’ socialism, nor 'pure’ libertarianism, can scale up to the nation-state level.
Wealth is Virtue; the more money you have, the more moral and virtuous you are; conversely those with little or none are the foulest of immoral vermin, and should be punished cruelly, until they repent.
