I hate when ppl give sum stupid ass advice w/o knowing Your situation...

"Just get a different job... Just get a job closer to You ..."

Most of us are huminerals and it's not simple as those people say it is.

The middle class is a joke ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜” to the corporate overlords n the gov does nothing to fix this...

[โ€“] Blapoo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Empathy. A lot of people who give such advice don't have it. And while I don't know your situation, I, too, can relate to working hard my whole life and still having nothing. I sincerely hope you can find peace amongst the madness.

Also, eat the rich ^_^

Why would the government do anything? The government benefits from your wage slavery.

This is why we have unions and revolutionary groups.

Ye... Idk, in US they was quite successful at disassembling (many*) Unions... And they do their best to keep folks from unionizing.

Does Sweden have unions btw?

[โ€“] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah we do, it's taken for granted that all workers are part of a union, it's how we do minimum wage instead of having a law about it.

[โ€“] DONTBANTHISACCOUNT@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not lucky, the result of people like you and me always remembering that unions make us strong.

"Just be more privileged!"

He says whilst spending his time scrolling social media. How ironic.

Sounds like they don't have to much time for that... Because of work

I find it difficult to believe that most people don't have a spare 30/45/60 mins in their day where a hobby can be pursued.

People will spend that time scrolling social media, or watching TV, but then complain that they don't have enough time for their own hobbies or well-being.

The 5 day, 40 hour working week, is definitely outdated and I would argue for change, but people don't help themselves on this particular topic. Get a life, get some hobbies.

When you get older, you start to understand physically having time for something and mentally having time for something. Most people DO in fact manage to find half an hour to an hour for themselves a day, but need to spend that time trying to unwind or de-stress from an already busy life. Pursuing a hobby during those precious few moments will just add to the already busy day and make things more stressful.

Sometimes you just want to sit down in front of your TV or PC for an hour and not talk to anyone or have any obligations before getting back to the grind, and that's the only thing keeping you sane.

All I hear are excuses.

Said by someone with no commute, no chores, and no problems in their life in need of maintenance and supervision

The only way i can make time for my hobbies after work is by staying up til 2AM

Ah I'm glad you know me so well.
