That's what always happens in capitalist societies. They say that if you don't want to be poor, there's a certain thing you have to do. But then everyone does it, so it's no longer effective. The system depends on making sure that there's always a supply of poor people to exploit.
can confirm, the switch from "just get a degree, any degree, it'll show employers that you can commit longterm and follow through, and most skills are transferable" to "lolol dumbass millennials got underwater basket weaving degrees as if they'd ever help you get a job and now they're paying off student loans with their Starbucks jobs and it's all their own dumbass fault, idiots!" was instantaneous
mhm then it was 'oh learn to code, everyone needs an IT guy'
... and suddenly code monkeys are getting fired because their dumbfuck bosses think chatgpt is the same thing.
Second verse same as the first, a little bit louder and a whole lot worse

Peanuts (December 31, 1966) by Charles M. Schulz
the fight is harder each year.
this remains one of the best old year/new year illustrations I’ve ever seen
not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth
positivity tells a sad person that there is no reason to be sad. warmth asks the sad person if they want to go get some ice cream
Been a moment since I saw this. Glad it’s back on my dash when I needed it.

She won that season too! She’s so cool and upbeat
Despite being cool.and upbeat (and she is) she also suffers from anxiety and recently started speaking about it in social media. Instagram posta detailing her inability to even go downstairs and how support her fam are etc. She also recently did a bbc documentary about anxiety disorders.
Nadiya is also a perfect example of why diversity in media is important. A government report on community cohesion said she’s done “more for British-Muslim relations than 10 years of government policy”, because her presence on TV has helped to humanize the image of the hijab-wearing Muslim woman in the eyes of the public. She’s not even really a political activist or anything - she’s just a nice, honest, down-to-earth person. Sometimes that’s all it really takes to convince people.
I think dudes who say shit like “I couldn’t love a child that wasn’t mine” shouldn’t have kids
“I could never be a stepdad because I could never love another man’s child” another man’s child? not your hypothetical wife’s child? you look at a kid and see another man’s fuck trophy instead of seeing a human being? I’m not sure you could successfully be a parent to your own biological child
This meme is so old but it is still fucking PEAK COMEDY there is nothing funnier than call a Bondulance
I forgot about this until I didn’t and now I’m falling over laughing heeeeeeeelllllpppppp
“Pleased to… what?” gets me.
Someone get Daniel Craig to say it. Dear god.
This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.
If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.
This is honestly one of the places I find Marie Kondo's advice most helpful. I stop, look at the thing I've spent time and money on only to realize I dislike, and I say, "Thank you for teaching me something about myself and my preferences. I think I've learned this particular lesson and we can part ways now."
And then I don't feel like I "wasted" things or made a mistake. I just tried one path of learning about myself, learned something, and now it's time for a different path. Works a lot better for my brain.
The time Marie Kondo said "you can thank a a shirt you've never worn for teaching you about your taste", thereby making it NOT A WASTE literally rewired my whole brain. Acknowledge the thing and move forward, even if that means leaving the thing behind.
Born to don't wanna. Forced to gotta
Bonus points if you explain why, because I'm nosy and interested.
stop buying tat. and by tat i mean cheap / shoddy / tasteless / tacky plastic shite. just stop buying it. listen. i'm all for a deal. but think of planet earth. stop buying plastic planters shaped like glup shitto. no more funko pops. you get the deal. but cringepics, you say. it's a birthday or a holiday season and my friends and family love tacky plastic fandom shit. please get them literally anything else. think of the planet. i live in australia and this country lights itself on fire more often than ever before historically and i'm not going to fry to a fucking crisp because you "needed" a hazbin hotel themed garden gnome. buy local. re-use. think sustainable. everyone wants to eat the rich and no one wants to stop lining their pockets
