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.

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.

Normalize an 8 hour working day

*4 hour Tiftfy

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

Sounds pretty normal to me. At least for developed countries.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Mine is 7hr 21mins. It is too long.

[–] threeduck@aussie.zone 8 points 9 months ago

Un-normalise the word normalise.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

Don't normalize the grind. Rather normalize the unwind.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

That looks like being poo-r with no honeys. Guess I'll have to bounce and keep on the grind.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 9 months ago

Normalise Pooh having a rough day? Sounds like grind to me!

It's sad that app doesn't bunch together a crosspost. The web UI have this function and it's cleaner.

Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.

[–] RustyShackleford@literature.cafe 6 points 9 months ago

I do it myself each weekend, makes for a great start to the morning.

[–] Eriion@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

Tea with homies

Grind/hustle... that's technically known as the Grustle.
