One capitalism rock please.

Many people who have been in abusive work situations know that there's a point when you should leave but the constant drain from the abuse keeps you in a state of exhaustion that prevents any action. It's often only once this makes you so physically sick that you have to take the time off and realize this can't go on any longer.

I believe this is the zone where Amazon wants to keep their employees. Fully exhausted, given up on any possible improvement.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, run like fuck.

Current state earth or shot out the airlock into the vacuum of space. They probably threw a coin.

Autopsy reports are vague and contradictory. They describe women with evidence of trauma, including burns and electric shocks, all labeled natural deaths. One woman’s cause of death was simply “brain dead.”

Checked the article because I was wondering what the actual cause of death was and it turns out they just wave everything through as natural causes. They're being straight up murdered. Lovely.

I actually know people who operate like this. My old neighbor was a paycheck to paycheck kind of guy who'd always instantly spend all of his money on any trash you can think of. One day he came home with 3(!) Michael Bay Turtle movie collectors editions because they were on sale ("fantastic value!") and by the end of the month he didn't have money for food. That's how bad his financial decisions were.

Anyway instead of proper budgeting he'd come up with these horrible ways to make sure he'd have money "stashed away". E.g. he'd prepay 100 bucks per month for his electricity and then get half of it back after a year. That was his way of saving up money. Funniest thing about this was him calling the utility company and explaining to them why he wanted the highest possible monthly payment despite using so little power. They had some trouble understanding his investment strategy. Another classic was buying expensive things and selling them for half of what he payed. That's pretty much what the picture implies. If you buy a $200 android phone and spend $1000 on useless crap then you won't be able to sell your phone to pay the bills. The $1200 iphone on the other hand will get you $600 in an emergency. It's the idiot's piggy bank.

This doesn't work with the DMY format and cannot be accepted.

I disagree with this being a good test. Where on earth would you find a wall on a road with a fotorealistic continuation of the road printed on it? This would trick many human drivers. Self driving cars fail in many realistic situations that are a lot more concerning. This is just clickbait.

You really don't. Apart from the core things that you'd hear despite any filter you could possibly implement, most of it is just noise to "flood the zone" as they call it.

"What do you mean we can't waterboard them? Can we fireboard them? No? Come on. Earthboarding? Is that ok? No!? That's ridiculous. We'll need to make some changes here. I mean, we can't airboard them. That's just fucking breathing. It doesn't work! Fucking hell. Somebody get me a drink."

But a consistent amount of enshittification shocks

I think the proper term is enshittification sharts

My boomer mom when it comes to anxiety/depression: Back when we were young that wasn't even a thing!

Also my mom talking about alcoholism during that time: Oh yeah half my colleagues were alcoholics that never fully recovered from it but only 2 or 3 drank themselves to death.

I bet we could train AI to recognize what your autopliot suv just ran over based only on the bump. The center touch display will show fitting ads immediately. Child caskets - BUY NOW! 50% cashback with our store credit card!

I’ll kick a chicken and fart in their mouth right now if it means food is cheaper!

my man are you aware of plants? try some goddamn beans instead of farting into chickens. do not eat the beans if you're set on the farting thing though. don't want to make this worse.

this is giving me flashbacks to my time as a sysadmin in public transport. init is a rather large software company in that sector and keeping their systems running was the core of the job. sometimes the systems could not.

It's pretty much dead to me. I know it was always ass but at some point the OC/spam ratio gets too bad to bother. Lost memes were a good time. Now I'd have to sift through 80 incels calling eachother tranny to find a single post with a shred of an original thought behind it. Eh, maybe it's the same and I just got too old for it. Doesn't matter in the end.

Can't even be mad at them. Poor idiots were convinced to join the military. That's the first time they got shafted. Then they got bombarded with missinformation that made them believe voting for trump is a good idea even though it very clearly went against their own interests. Shaft 2: Electric Boogaloo.

It's like a Pokemon that keeps hurting itself in its confusion. These people are in need of assistance. Somone should pat their shoulders and say "there, there". Best we can do.

By the looks of it he has the three stooges syndrome. Indestructible.

It was also raw as fuck. That allowed for some very honest interactions but also introduced a shitload of trash to filter through. Then the whole political influx came in a decade ago and fully ruined it. lemmy seems like a good middle way. no senseless karma farming but also some tools to moderate.

While there, pick up some books. I stumbled into my library 2 years ago and picked some books up. Got sucked into exzessive smartphone use before that and could barely read more than 10 minutes without getting restless or sleepy. Took a while to recondition myself to just sitting in a chair and reading but it‘s so much better than endless scrolling.

Fuck the endless barrage of subscription services. Imma just sit in me chair, read me book and torrent the occasional movie.

Part of them don't care. A bigger part simply don't understand. People are being blasted with misinformation and they don't have the tools to filter through it. The bottom 30% in cognitive competence are on the brink of mental disability. That's 100 million voters.

You can be mad at them but it'd be like being mad at a kid with down syndrome that ends up being a conservative because they like monstertrucks and wrestling and the ads between their shows tell them to be.

Fuck those who create and spread wrongful information. They're the cancer of the current age.
