At least the one person who downvoted my comment, apparently 😅

(I laugh but this whole thing is depressing)

Yes those totally weren’t fabricated at all

Paywall :(

Idk I know nurses and janitors that actually enjoy that work. Some people do enjoy doing sanitation and we should let those who enjoy it do it and get their needs met for it. Perhaps the unpleasant jobs should get more incentive? (Currently that’s not the case)

Anyway my main point is incentive instead of coercion. People should all play their part in society but should have their needs met no matter how they choose to play that part. Society not based on maximization of profit would value different jobs than our current Society.

Calling a Nazi a socialist doesn’t make it one. Calling me a duck doesn’t make me one.

You reward those willing to do the hard jobs. Coercion’s ethical cousin is called “incentive”.

I think that people need a purpose and I think in a society not based on maximization of profit, people would have the ability to choose what that is and not have to do “whatever pays the bills”

Imagine a society where your doctors want to be doctors and your musicians want to be musicians.

In my experience watching my father retire and just living as an adult, people get squirrely when they dont have something to work on.

Work doesn’t have to be what capitalism values to be work, it can ve creation, it can be gardening, it can be helping others.

Id argue people do fundamentally have drive to work as they have drive to have purpose. Work just isn’t necessarily the suffering capitalism has led us to believe it is.

Thats like .07% of mass shooters, for the record. There have been around 6,885 mass shootings in the states in the last 10 years.

I mean, those are verbs not pronouns, but still funny

It’s such a quick play, highly recommend doing it sooner than later

Yeeeeeeee

They’re fuckin dope and have a new album out! Also they’re from my city! :D

It’s a vape

Why do you start every comment with an insult? Their question was reasonable and they didn’t treat you the same. That really doesn’t make you sound as smart as you think it does, especially when you’re referencing yourself in your original comment, and the comment of your own that you referenced doesn’t actually clarify anything, it’s just another example of you insulting somebody and telling them that they’re wrong.

Besides, age of consent laws differ in how they work based on what country you are in, and not everyone is from your country. You’re expecting people to know shit they’re not reasonably expected to know, and you’re mad at them about it and being a child about it.

Fucking great band.

Did I ever say to buy someone a ring? I’ve been with my partner for 11 years and we don’t even know if we want to get married, so i am absolutely not telling anyone else whether they should get engaged. What I do know is marriage wouldnt change my relationship because marriage doesn’t make love.

Being vulnerable has nothing to do with money. Becoming vulnerable does mean opening yourself up to possible hurt, but nothing that good comes without taking some kind of risk. Being risk averse will keep you from getting hurt, but it would also serve as a barrier to one of the best things in life you could experience. Also, platonic love is a thing, this doesn’t have to be romantic yknow. It could be as little as telling a friend about your feelings.

Understandable!

Ah classic. Joke didn’t land? Blame the audience.

13 year old girls are also awkward as fuck lmao. Acne, stretch marks, figuring out wtf to do with a period.

All that and having to navigate being coveted by adult men while not understanding why.

At least your username is accurate.

Love isn’t something you can just show somebody and provide empirical proof of, you have to change your perspective to recognize it, because it’s everywhere.

You seem to be in a really not-great place emotionally speaking and that is probably preventing you from being vulnerable with people. Vulnerability is necessary to building deeper connections with people.

My advice whether you’re willing to hear it or not is to get used to feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable and open yourself up to people, or you will never build deeper connections.

Whether you believe me or not, I won’t be suffering, but opening up may help prevent further suffering on your part.
