Can I please get some American friends to weigh in with their experiences?

[broodygaming]

I’ve over 10 years of retail/work experience and I’ve only had one job in all those years that offered PTO and I was guilted into using it when I got an injury. They didn’t want LNI to pay for it and I couldn’t afford to not work and I was in too much pain to work so I just took a week. I was 18 and taken advantage of.

The only vacation I’ve ever been on in my adult life was a trip to the UK that took me 3 YEARS to save up for. I had to save for money to travel and money to pay rent and money to make up for the money I wasn’t making while I was gone. I almost lost my job for demanding the time off. I used and saved 2 years worth of tax returns to be able to go (timed the trip for in March when I’d have certainly just gotten mine). It’s easy to forget the cheapest air fair we found to “cross the pond” was over 600 dollars. That’s a months rent. It’s so expensive to go anywhere that isn’t Canada or Mexico depending on which border you live close ish to.

There so much in the UK that was so cool and accessible. We ate that ?? What was it? 5 dollar meal deal? Almost every meal. A drink a main and a side??? That’s like 12 dollars minimum in America. We got to go to museums FOR FREE!??!!! That still blows my mind. That’s easily 40 bucks in America. And the churches were historical sites ALSO for free. For free we got to walk around the oldest church in London (according to the sign) and see a patch of Roman road. It’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen and it was free!! So much access to art and celebration and history. It was wild.

We don’t live in a free country. We live in a capitalistic hell where if ur like me and don’t fit the mold and can’t keep up - you’d better have charitable family or literally just die. And funerals are taxed. So the government still gets theirs.

I'm American and it's hard for me to believe that getting almost a month of paid time off is a thing anywhere

Also? i can't emphasize enough how much americans' world views are shaped by the fact that no one poor has the money to leave the country

[pseudinymous]

This is so crazy compared to Australia. I rack up legally protected annual leave (PTO) and can basically save it until I have 6-8 weeks banked up. Granted, you don’t want to take 6-8 weeks off in one go (your company will hate you) but after you get to that point they might ask you to take time off or cash some of it out so you don’t disrupt the business.

Outside of corona when I was working full time? I was going to Japan and/or Canada multiple weeks at a time YEARLY. Like, I could afford to just do that. In the corporate world it’s almost NORMAL.

[headspace-hotel]

You know, the wild thing is I don't even think most Americans would ask or wish for that much. It seems like a cool thing to spend a few weeks out of the country like, idk, once.

We had a week long family vacation to South Carolina once when I was 12. We stayed in a beach house. We've had a few long-weekend vacations since, but not to the ocean. Multiple-week vacations seem like a thing for people that are well-off.

[captawesomesauce]

In all of my years of working in Emergency services, we were required to work 56hrs a week, but take mandatory OT and training so it was more like 72hrs a week. Then we'd work 2 weeks straight, with 4 days off, and another 2 week deployment during fire and other disaster seasons. We'd also be required to deploy out of area, out of state, out of wherever for weeks at a time, and campaign fires could see you assigned for months... especially if you were on an incident management team or a BAER team. Time off didn't exist.. you just worked until you dropped, got hurt, retired, or died. And it's even worse when you realize that a lot of people do this for no pay at all. Most fire and EMS stuff is volunteer with just a stipend to cover uniforms and training.

my opinion on quantum physics is that we should stop looking into it. it's none of our business and frankly the particles seem to agree

i think it’s fucked up that there are plants that decided they wanted to eat meat

[johnnyjoestarrelatable]

a plant’s job is literally to just exist but the venus flytrap chose violence

[johnnyjoestarrelatable]

what if i gently laid an uncooked steak on the soil for it to absorb

[iridescentjaq]

my tree biology teacher fed her calcium-deficient tree a whole-ass bbq rib bone - she stuck it in the ground near the base of the tree (after eating the meat off of it), and when she came back to collect it to show the tree biology class it was GONE

the tree had grown a root up through the center of it & out through the sides

also there’s an old story about a man who was buried beneath a tree, and when they went to exhume the body it had been completely absorbed by the tree’s roots- you could see the shape of the body in the way the roots grew, splitting up for clearly defined arms and legs. trees will absolutely eat a steak if you bury it & they need the nutrients.

[johnnyjoestarrelatable]

that’s horrifying! thank you
