“

But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.

We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.

YESSS i knew i wasnt the only person out there who was making an issue out of this

My dad just explained this to me a month ago. True as fuck.

yup. and fuck that shit.

this is really interesting. i never even thought about it like that. i guess my immediate thoughts are what about retail/service jobs that are just about having a body present (to run the register, take orders, serve tables, fold clothes, etc.)? i definitely agree with flexible work schedules in terms of more white collar office jobs (especially with our technological advances), but so many American jobs are in the service industry. How long should a shift be? How much should they be paid? etc.

“Sometimes I’ll be talking to someone, and I’ll be like ‘Yeah, I’ve been really lonely lately’ and they’ll be like ‘Well we should hang out!’ and I’m like ‘No, that’s not what I meant. That’s not what I meant at all.’”

“You think relationships are difficult? Try friendships. Try courting someone in order to convince them to join you in some nameless, shapeless Platonic complication — forever. Convince an adult stranger that you are worth a healthy slice of their limited time and energy without the prize of sex or romance.”

- Laura Jayne Martin (via sweetleviathan)

I love this. Most people I know really only care about the romantic relationship they are in. I’ve pretty much decided that if you don’t consider my friendship to be an important part of your life worthy of time and consideration you can fuck right off.

FRUIT SKELETONS: Coke Talk of the Day:

Occupy Wall Street was a fucking mouse fart compared to the damage our generation could do to the system if every last one of us suddenly decided to stop making payments on our student loans.

I doubt it would take all that many conscientious defaulters to reach a tipping point —…

i would be on board. not just because i believe in the cause but because i seriously am not sure how i’m going to make my loan payments.

even if several hundred thousand collectively just missed one payment, I imagine it would be fucking startling.

Occupy Wall Street was a fucking mouse fart compared to the damage our generation could do to the system if every last one of us suddenly decided to stop making payments on our student loans.

I doubt it would take all that many conscientious defaulters to reach a tipping point — maybe a few hundred thousand — and the student debt bubble would burst. Credit scores would be meaningless. Ivory towers would crumble. The entire fucking economy would implode.

I dunno, it might be worth doing.
