Math proves that capitalism sucks and that capitalists are greedy.

working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry i’m just heated about capitalism again i’ll be fine

[fbdbsgdg]

8 days....never thought about it like that 😓

[revere-irreverence]

This seems really whiny to me. Like, I agree with you, work sucks, but our ancestors didn’t get to browse tumblr at their desks or have the option to gleefully spend their ENTIRE WEEKENDS horizontal on the couch stuffing their faces/watching tv/playing video games/wacking off.  They didn’t have weekends. They just slaved away as fucking peasants from dawn to dusk until they died in childbirth or got the consumption.

I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I don’t have to:

grow my own food

find my own clean water

heat my house

shit in the woods

Hi, I study social and cultural anthropology. Humans working 40+ hours a week is 100% an industrial revolution thing and was not normal in the early stages of our existence. In fact, hunter and gatherer societies that still exist to this day spend about 15-20 hours a week TOPS working. The rest is dedicated to sitting around and telling stories and jokes, dancing, singing, eating, sleeping, fucking and so forth. Read a damn book.

The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant

Medieval peasants lived grueling, terrible lives. But their vacation days beat out the policies now common even in progressive societies.

[bookwyrmth1rt33n]

🤔😬😡

[patentlyabsurdrpgideas]

When the medieval peasant - the iconic, screwed over, worst off person of pop culture - had more days and time off than you, something’s gone wrong. And apparently something has been wrong for a while now...

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

[mellie-mp3]

stop saying "sorry for party rocking", instead try "thank you for your allowing me to party rock" or "I appreciate you being patient with me as I party rock, in the house tonight"

[fairycosmos]

look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

[serotonin-sunrise]

fun fact: this POV is actually called “body neutrality” and it’s SO MUCH more accessible/realistic for a lot of people. it’s based on the idea that the way we look is the least interesting/important thing about who we are, and that our bodies are worthy of respect regardless if they fit the mold of the current beauty ideals.

Observing that someone is upset or is not in a good mood and immediately relating it to yourself, inferring that you are the cause of their bad mood is self-centered thinking. It’s easy to do this, especially in romantic relationships but you should really remind yourself that people have feelings and emotions outside of you. Anger, frustration, sadness etc. can be expressed while having absolutely nothing to do with you. That is okay.

[theprettiestgirlattheparty]

i dont think this is a bad take necessarily but i think it ignores being the scapegoat for your parents’ & possibly abusive partners’ anger & frustration. I didn’t cause it, but they took it out on me. They made me feel like it was my fault. So the fear that when an SO is angry or frustrated that it’s my fault and i will be punished accordingly isn’t “self centered thinking,” it’s a trauma response.

This isn’t to say this thought process shouldn’t change, because it should and can. but boiling it down to “self centered thinking” when this pattern is typically seen in ppl who were abused is over simplified.

[sheabutterbitch]

I made a follow up to this post about misplaced anger but I would also like to add that trauma responses can be and usually are self-centered!

In the field of psychology and mental health we don’t say self-centered in the sense that one is conceited or full of themselves. Self-centered means that a person finds it hard to remove themselves from the center of every or most conflicts and interactions. This could be for whatever reason, could be trauma, could be developmental, could be many things!

Another example of this I like it use is how adolescents may spend a lot of time worrying what other people think of them, may go into public spaces where no one knows them yet think everyone they see has a well formulated opinion of them. This is self-centered, not in the sense that they are superficial and full of conceit — but they’re just at a developmental age where they place themselves and the thinking of themselves at the forefront of all interactions. That is normal and okay, just like it is also normal for individuals who have experienced trauma to think that anyone who is upset or angry at anything is somehow angry because of them. Doesn’t mean it is not self-centered, having a reason for a specific behavior does not mean the behavior isn’t so.
