"Nobody Should Have To Work 1/3rd Of Their Lives, For Over 40 Years, To Retire At ~60 Just To Finish Off Whatever Is Left Of Their Lives"
"As of right now I am 18 years old and looking into the future is depressing. I figure I’m gonna have to work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day and then have 8 hours a day to myself. This does not include things like getting ready for work, commute or shopping/cooking. At the end of the day I’m only going to have a few hours to do what I want... for over 40 years. It seems like my entire life is just preparing me to follow directions and then putting me into a factory where I’m a brick in a wall (reference intended). When I tell other people this, I get a response along the lines of: “That’s what everyone has to do,” or “That’s how its always been.” Why? Even if it is how life works. How it has to be to maintain quality for everyone. What is the point in living? This is existential crisis material. Thanks for reading.
tl;dr - People think I’m crazy for thinking working 1/3rd of your life is crazy."
People should be encouraged to bash Jada more. Well done. LOL
Also, I'm a US citizen and I agree with #15 and #35. F@*$! American exceptionalism. Our opinion of "ourselves" is laughable most times. We need to take it down a notch or two.
#36 yep, im always like what the hell im gonna get...?
#8 and deny the kid the trophy he is ENTITLED to??
#13 in general, it is not up to each of us to punish people for what they do wrong. Any civilized country has courts and prison systems for that. If you don't want to support someone in their work for how they behave outside work that is up to you, but don't judge people that think otherwise. Like the rising cancel culture. What kind of f@#knuggets thinks it's OK to have someone fired for being themselves outside work? Gina Carano is a good example. Should that apply to everyone? If you neglect your children, does that mean you should be fired from working as a librarian? I've seen stories about the mob trying to get holywood stars fired because "they are @$$hoels in real life and won't let fans take pictures when seen in restaurants" or whatever. W. T. F!!??
#20 quit whining. Not that many generations ago most people had to work all day every day to put food on the table. And you're free to work less, but don't expect to live in a downtown apartment sipping latte at the local cafe all day.
#24 kind of overlaps #13. Yes, he acts like a teenager with no impulse control some times, but look at what he has actually accomplished. EVs would not have been where it is today if it wasn't for Elon and Tesla. I 100% guarantee it. And Spaxe-X too. We're all gonna reap the benefits of that later on.
#15 When I have been in foreign countries, the USA is never in the news. I think Americans think everyone else in the world cares about them, but they don’t.
Agree with most, except #10, #15. And #32 only because I don’t care about their personal lives and haven’t seen anyone laughing at Will Smith. What would they even be laughing at?
Oh, and whoever doesn’t want to know anything about other countries can definitely control the media they watch and stay in their little cushy bubble, so that’s idiotic.
Don't teach that Wikipedia is an unreliable source. Just teach how to use Wikipedia properly and all will be good
