I know this is supposed to be funny, but does it horrify anyone else that social media is being used by employers to monitor how happy we are to be slaves to capitalism and if we aren’t 1000% enthusiastic about having to work, you’re immediately terminated? He says “Good luck with your no money, no job life” but the implication is pretty clear–”Good luck starving to death because you didn’t live to serve me/my company”

So if you express a feeling about your job/working/capitalism on your own social media space that doesn’t please your employers, you’re punished.

Holy fuck

This is some dystopian shit right here

This is actually illegal in the US, by the way. There’s a thing called the National Labor Relations Act that protects your right to complain about your job (the reasoning being if you can’t complain you can’t find other employees with similar complaints to start a union with).

If this happens to you, you should file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/01/complaining_about_your_job_on_facebook_the_national_labor_relations_board.html

you can’t force someone to be emotionally vulnerable with you. it’s either they feel comfortable having that kind of intimacy with you, or they don’t.

nah I think we should really stop glorifying cigarettes

dirty-sparkletini-no-olive

you sound boring.

psiioniic-miracles

You sound like you’ve never had the scent of cigarette smoke ingrained in your clothes to the point where people in middle school thought you smoked at eleven because your parents couldn’t be bothered to go outside. You sound like you’ve never had your mother flick cigarette ashes out of the car window and have them fly into your face. You sound like you’ve never been kept up at night by the sound of your dad hacking up a lung because he has to get up for his midnight smoke. You sound like you’ve never had to run into a convenience store to get your mother cigarettes as soon as you turned eighteen and cringed at touching the box because you know they’re not only killers but government sanctioned killers because they can not only tax the shit out of them but ensure people buy more at the cost of young lungs and a once beautiful home now plagued with the smell of smoke and ash. You sound like you’ve never had a great grandmother who stopped smoking 30 years before her death who still got lung cancer and subsequently died. You sound like a Fucking ignoramus. Smoking isn’t Fucking cool, it isn’t fun to glorify, it’s disgusting and makes not only you but your children smell bad. Makes not only you but your children cough, get cancer, get sick.

You sound like a Fucking moron. Smoking isn’t cool. Grow the Fuck up.

adrunkensailor

No, you grow the fuck up. There’s mountains of constant judgment when it comes to smoking. How about you leave people alone and let them do what they want with their bodies.

yourladyindank

There is a REASON. It’s not just their bodies they’re fucking. It’s never just their bodies with something fucking airborne. Especially when you have CHILDREN AND PETS.

My grandfather smoked in his house decades ago. We moved in. We started working on it. After just one day of having the AC off so it could be worked on, I could no longer stay in the house because the smell was coming out of the walls <I>so strongly</I> and triggering my asthma to the point where I couldn’t breathe. My grandfather is dead and his smoking still managed to effect me that negativity. It is not just their body.

justbecauseyoubelievesomething

My aunt took up smoking in secret as a coping method for her depression. My cousin found out and she was so scared for her mom’s health that she hid the cigarettes. But when my aunt noticed they were missing, do you think she had a calm conversation about the whole thing with my cousin? Nope. She stormed into her room in such a rage, my cousin was too scared to even argue. She just gave the cigarettes back and prayed for her mom to leave the room. There was no explanation for why she took up smoking, for why she was trying to hide it, no reassurance for her worried daughter, not even a question as to why my cousin took them… there was just addiction-fueled anger. Directed at a child who had no control over her environment.

And then there’s my own mother, who has never taken up smoking, but who grew up with two chain-smoking parents. My mom who has permanent lung and throat damage from a lifetime of breathing in smoke that she didn’t ask for. My mom who now takes daily medication so her throat doesn’t ache.

But, tell me again how smoking only affects your body?

anti-stupidity-capaldi

I grew up breathing not only my step-dad’s cigarette smoke, but all his friends as they’d frequently hang out in the living room together creating a cloud of smoke that permeated the whole house. I got asthma at 10. I found a growth in my left lung at 30. I now have 1 lung. 1 lung and I’m still asthmatic. Fuck people who smoke around children.

fathercryptid

If you can’t agree with this, then fucking unfollow the shit out of me. Too many people in my family have died. My grandfather lost his wife to Lung Cancer. He still smokes though. And my dad who stopped cold turkey when my oldest brother was born and went through hell to make sure his first kid wouldn’t have to also. But did it help? No. Because his mom didn’t care that she had a newborn inhaling her goddamned secondhand smoke. Don’t you dare say it only affects the smoker. Don’t you dare.

malkorsai

Points up. Same.

tinmunky

As a child who grew up around smokers. ALL OF THIS IS RELEVANT!

Both parents smoked. Both died of heart/lung problems directly related to smoking. I remember very well my mom sitting all of us down and begging us not to smoke, ever, because she knew how bad it was for us and how hard it was to quit. This was YEARS before second hand smoke research was a thing. I used to get sick every single winter until I was 20 and left home. Then, wow, I discovered I wasn’t getting sick nearly so often anymore. Cigarettes are not like alcohol - that at least you keep to yourself (well, most do, some …. not so much). Cigarette smoke gets everywhere and affects everyone it comes in contact with. It’s like riding a motorcycle without a helmet–yes,you have the right to screw up your own life if something goes wrong, but you do NOT have the right to screw up the lives of anyone who cares about you.

My paternal grandmother died this past Monday from lung cancer. One week after diagnosis. My father expresses grief through retail therapy and he just bought $2k worth of games and electronics earlier today. It impacts more than just you.

screamingatsquirrels

My birth mom smoked at least a pack a day when I was growing up and despite 2 kids, many medical problems including a trachea tube and both of said kids having some form of asthma (I have sports induced my brother has mild bronchial asthma) she still smokes.

this fucking upsets me so badly you don’t even know

my parents smoke in our house, and everytime i tell them not to they tell me it’s fine or to get over it. they smoke in the car, bring their cigarettes in my room, even though they said they’d start smoking on the balcony. they never fucking do it.

each morning, i’d come to school reeking of smoke, my classmates started accusing me of smoking. even in elementary, a teacher pulled me aside and asked me if my parents had been smoking. when i responded with yes, she said to tell them to stop.

people in your environment notice when you smell of smoke. especially people who are around you frequently. they remember it, and may think you smoke. some people may think it’s cool, some are disgusted by it, and they have the RIGHT to be- because cigarettes harm your body. whether it’s a coping mechanism or something- it harms you, it harms you and others around you.

the warnings on the packagings, the PSAs- they don’t fucking shit on you, they don’t make stuff up. they mean it.

if you smoke, fine, i can’t stop you. but don’t smoke around your kids or others. smoke outside, do it in private.

“don’t make me feel bad for doing what i want with my body!” i’m not doing that. i’m making you feel bad for fucking up the lives of the people around you.
