We need to stop attempts to normalize grind/hustle lifestyle

Freezing to death while drinking porridge?

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

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.

Pooh and gang enjoying the better grind, the coffee kind.

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

R.I.P. Piglet. They just let my boy freeze out there.

This is hygge.

Normalize an 8 hour working day

Don't feed yourself into the grind, feed coffee beans into the grind and share with the homies.

Un-normalise the word normalise.

I wish I knew the context of this screenshot/what episode it was

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

Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.

I don’t understand this trend of wanting to be more vulnerable. Through technology you can achieve anything, anything, you want. What you do with that tool is up to you, I know of several markets that have opened up specifically over the last 5 years max that provide work for yourself opportunities. Free education and literature. Everything is out there but we need to arm the children and the adult with this knowledge in advance so they can make full use of its true power.

We have arguably the largest libraries ever created in digital worlds, proxies away from oppressive regimes through game servers which host things like banned books and whistle blower docs.

Whatever it is you choose to do about this world, don’t choose to buckle. And for those of us that are strong enough and privileged enough, it’s our duty to educate and help our neighbors who may need help. It’s a big responsibility and communication isn’t always an innate skill, it takes hard work - but it’s worth doing to me.

This is the Otherkin dream

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

Tea with homies

Gotta stop putting suckers and suckerism on a pedestal.

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

I wonder how many times I'll see this getting reposted... Do you guys have a folder and you just go through it like a playlist on repeat?

My old ass is struggling trying to understand all this.

Capitalism has gone off the rails and is grinding us down, especially the most vulnerable. I get that. Seen shit IRL over the decades that astounds me. If you're young, it's hard to truly grasp how much has been stolen from you. And you should be mad as fucking hell.

OTOH, I don't understand how young people expect to gain anything. The world runs on money, always has, always will, no matter the government or financial system. The world won't give you money for merely existing, you have to provide value back to the world. That means skills, education and experience. Things you don't have when you start out in life, things you have to "grind" for. TANSTAAFL.

It's also hard to grasp the opportunities and freedom you've been handed. Worldwide conversations like this were not possible when I was in my 20's. A computer, with no internet or interoperability, was beyond the scope of most families. Education of any sort is basically free.

Again, no one needs to explain the plight of the youth to me. You're either old enough to understand, young enough to understand, or you're out of touch.
