“There aren’t enough hours in a day.” There are actually. The problem is that we think 40 hour work weeks are an unavoidable fact of life.
The problem is that everyone has to work 8 hours, pretty much no exceptions, and with getting ready time + (unpaid) lunch + commute, “8 hours” is actually anywhere between 9 and 12, every single day, with more work to do when you get home because our society and culture was built around having one member of the household home full time and nothing has changed now that almost everyone works.
No wonder Americans are reliant on DoorDash and fast food, there’s no time or energy to cook. No one wonder mental and physical health are in shambles, many just spent all day sitting in fluorescent lights with little to no stimulation. “Just wake up earlier” “Just meal prep”… these are ok short-term, individual solutions, but the broader, systemic issue is obvious. We aren’t built for this. There’s no work-life balance. Genuinely, I think if our culture could normalize a shorter work week, many individuals’ biggest problems would simply evaporate.
americans love doxxing their home states more than anything. we hear the name of our home state and everything goes black and we wake up 10 minutes later, having reblogged no fewer than 8 posts featuring the name of our home state
“I hate when the skeletons on decorations aren’t anatomically accurate.” A Halloween skeleton isn’t the same as what’s inside you, idiot. It’s different. A Halloween skeleton is, like. A guy or something. It’s an animal.
If Halloween skeletons had bones like ours instead of hollow bones like that of a bird, they wouldn’t be able to play their ribcages like xylophones. You sound so fucking uneducated right now.
False Utopias are too common, let’s have more False Dystopias
Everything looks cold, miserable and oppressive, but that’s just aesthetic. Behind closed doors, everyone’s having a great time. They’re all super into this.
