I don't believe we should be having kids in this economic environment. Hear me out. You're probably pretty pissed that your parents didn't have shit to offer and now you are stuck in an endless cycle of wage slavery barely getting by for 50+ years. I'd be there, too, if I hadn't “married up” to a higher caste. So my logic here is that having children of your own to suffer in poverty with you is inflicting the same generational poverty and hellish existence on yet another generation simply because “you wanted” them, despite being unable to give them a decent life. Even though It isn't your fault you can't provide them with a decent start in life, but seeing as most of us cannot, and are aware that our lives are generally pretty miserable, why do so many people still do it? Is it not the definition of selfishness?…

“Only apply if you're interest in ACTUALLY WORKING and are GRATEFUL TO HAVE A JOB” i feel irritated by people who write things like this. i wonder how they'd feel if some employable-looking people came into their business, asked if they were the ones struggling to find a person for the position from the listing, then thanked them for participating in the job market and handed them a ribbon. then, do like they always do and feign like you're genuinely trying to give them a gift or cheer them up or something

Like, you ever think of yourself as a jaded cynical person who just doesn't like people and has a hard time relating or connecting to people… only to reflect on it and think maybe it has something to do with your daily work environment in which you have to politely accept disrespect and degradation? In which setting boundaries for yourself and telling people when they've gone too far is explicitly not allowed? Alternatively, are you a “people person” who has no problem getting along in these situations? In which case, how the hell do you do it?

I just went to an interview on the far side of town. When I got there they were unprepared, but whatever. For the “interview” they tell me about the company and position (which was all on the job ad), asked a few questions (the answers to which were on the resume IN HIS HAND), whined about how “everyone wants to gets paid for just sitting at home now”, then thanked me for coming out and said they'd call me. Am I being Punk'd?? That could have been a phone call or email. Unless they wanted to make sure my skin was white enough or something. What a waste of time and gas. I WANT to work, but I'm not the one who needs to try harder. I feel like I'm losing my damn mind, this idiocracy can't be real.
