No, Freezing to death while drinking porridge together
While they left Eeyore to freeze to death alone. Who's the real ass here?
Poor Eeyore in his burro, no doubt muling and complaining.
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
Drinking porridge out of cups? That's sick.

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.
I think both are true. I know plenty of people that take absolute undeniable pride in working 50-70 hour weeks every week and never taking a day off. It's like their life's defining characteristic.
Some people have no lives, because theirs was taken by the system.
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.
I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade
Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

"I delivered a cost reduction of 21 cents per man hour to the shareholders, so my bonus is going up this year" type of thing?

Don't normalize the grind. Rather normalize the unwind.
Pooh and gang enjoying the better grind, the coffee kind.
R.I.P. Piglet. They just let my boy freeze out there.
Normalize an 8 hour working day
Sounds pretty normal to me. At least for developed countries.

Don't feed yourself into the grind, feed coffee beans into the grind and share with the homies.
Un-normalise the word normalise.
Provocative removed
I wish I knew the context of this screenshot/what episode it was
All the animals of the Hundred Acres Woods, are living in tree they’re renting from Christopher Robin.
Grind/hustle... that's technically known as the Grustle.
Normalise Pooh having a rough day? Sounds like grind to me!
Gotta stop putting suckers and suckerism on a pedestal.
Inviting friends over for tea is great, can recommend.
I do it myself each weekend, makes for a great start to the morning.
Tea with homies
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.
That looks like being poo-r with no honeys. Guess I'll have to bounce and keep on the grind.
This is the Otherkin dream
