Jesus Christ Sharif, someone told you that he’s going to come after people who literally just want to go about existing unbothered, ya know like you want to do, and out of fear you thought “hell yeah, hurt the thing I don’t understand, you got my vote!”

The fuck?! Does it tax your brain remembering to breathe?

Clearly, Sharif, you lack the mental capacity to empathise with anything outside of your immediate experience, so perhaps a shared lived experience is your only route to empathy with people outside your immediate circles.

I wish you all the best on your journey to growing and hope, once your empathetic abilities are developed, you’re able to be readmitted into humanity, but I don’t wish for that journey to be a pleasant experience for you; may it be filled with fear, pain, and persecution.

Dozens!

Really Almost makes me wish she had.

I’m sick of trying to educate people to see the bleeding obvious robbery of our lives when they’d rather blame their neighbours just because they have a different skin tone and it’s less effort mentally than trying to understand the situation with all the neuances. I’m sick of fighting and struggling for a better life for them as well because they don’t even want it. What’s the point of putting in the effort when these ignorant fools don’t even help and actively work against their own interests?

I’m mentally and physically exhausted, and I just want to sleep forevermore.

Look I’m just fed up with dealing with the slow burning of everything around me all because about a dozen people want extra zeros on their net worth and are tempting politicians to implement draconian laws with comparitivly miniscule bribes and I am obligated to spend 1/3 of my life and 2/3rds of my income satiating the desires of these bastards.

Fuck em. I’m done. I want peace, permanent peace.

Ahhhhhh just fuck off you useless cunts! Why don’t you fix the fact that we’ve got kids fucking starving in this country before worrying about if they’ve seen tits before they’re 18?!

It’s dumb shit like this that is really pushing me to KMS once my mother has passed on. I can’t stand sharing oxygen with these morons.

Funnily enough there’s a term for this in the UK; it’s called Doing a Ratner’s.

“half-chewed thoughts” ooooh another delightful turn of phrase I’m adding to my armoury collection.

This is peak French.

Also true in the UK, I could get an extra +£10k just by leaving for a senior position elsewhere.

But I don’t want to for two reasons:

1. I don’t feel I have enough experience to actually be a senior in my job and want to stay where I am currently to learn some more before I leave.

2. I really like my current company because they treat me very very well and are the complete opposite of my previous company who gave me workplace PTSD, anxiety, and made me suicidally depressed. On top of that my company commits to inflation matching yearly wage adjustments, so I’m not loosing money by staying here.

I have no idea what is going on but it was hilarious, thank you for sharing this, it’s been a long week with car issues, me being in hospital for a throat infection, and my mother needing an operation, and the power being out all day, so thank you this has really lufted mine spirits.

I really want a translation, where’s Liam Carpenter when you need him?

From what I’ve seen most German humour comes in two flavours: intentionally very dry puns and unintentionally hilarious dry attitude to everything else in life.

So within the same comment you go from

The why is not important

To then say

And the bigger point is that this is not an AI problem, this is societal problem.

You clearly present the hypothesis that the the “why” is because these happen to be the best paid jobs and therefore people take them which is a societal problem.

Please can you explain why the “why” isn’t important and you then go onto give the “why” as “societal problem”?

Perhaps it might be useful to ask “why are these the better paid jobs in these regions?” because that adds additional context which might, as you indicate the need for, start pointing in the direction of solutions to this problem other than just broadly gesturing to everything going “society”.

Ok so how do you square that with your original comment of “so… don’t do it”?

Isn’t reducing a nuanced situation down to “money” going to lose sight of a lot of factors?

If any job was just about money then why, for example, do people choose to remain in teaching when they know they’re being poorly paid, overworked, and undervalued in society when they could leave and get more money in a less stressful job?

Context is king and if you want to understand more deeply why people are willing to work jobs because of or lack of financial incentives you need to also understand the wider context such as the time period it’s taking place in, the economic state of the region, the social constructs of the society, the technology being used, or any other lens you could look at it through.

Looking at the past, present, and possible futures get far more interesting when you do that.

If you wish to understand why people in these countries feel compelled to undertake this mentally damaging a d unsafe work then you should read up on the first industrial revolution and why people who were originally farm hands and hand spinners in the North of England felt compelled to move into the cities to take on the physically damaging and unsafe work on the cotton machines.

One observer at the time, Dr Andrew Ure, said this:

“In my recent tour, through the manufacturing districts, I have seen tens of thousands of old, young and middle-aged of both sexes, many of them too feeble to get their daily bread by any of the former modes of industry, earning abundant food, raiment, and domestic accommodation, without perspiring at a single pore, screened meanwhile from the summer’s sun and the winter’s frost, in apartments more airy and salubrious than those of the metropolis in which our legislative and fashionable aristocracies assemble. In those spacious halls the benignant power of steam summons around him his myriads of willing menials, and assigns to each the regulated task, substituting for painful muscular effort on their part, the energies of his own gigantic arm, and demanding in return only attention and dexterity to correct such little aberrations as casually occur in his workmanship.”

From his perspective, for many the suffering was worth the wage. But others at the time were more, as they put it, horrified by what they saw such as Dr. John Kay:

“Whilst the engine runs the people must work - men, women and children are yoked together with iron and steam. The animal machine - breakable in the best case, subject to a thousand sources of suffering chained fast to the iron machine, which knows no suffering and no weariness.”

This is why history is a vital part of education because by god am I seeing so much modern shit rhyming with a victorian tune!

My source for the quotes: The Peterloo Massacre - Robert Reid.

Look I hate to see industries churn through workers lives like disposable commodities but:

1. You chuckle fucks voted for this.

2. Perhaps your painful deaths etched into your loved one’s memories will cement shit like this from happening again (at least until living memory of you fades, as is inevitable with the human condition).

3. Even if it doesn’t, with you lot dying for nothing including your bosses withholding any death in service pay from your families at least we can call it karmatically even.

Poland: First time?

Flush the orange turd and any wipe way any remaining shit spackles, then we’ll discuss holiday plans.

Sincerely, the same half of the UK.

Yes that’s right, it goes into postgres.
