I think that modern work is something done to us, as a form of violence. We’re told to go here, do this, and in return we get just enough to get by. Humans are definitely not lazy, but we do have a problem with slavery.

mayo@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.ml•The Internet Is About to Get a Lot Worse (US focused)1·2 years agoI keep making the mistake of commenting on things that I have no desire to dig into. Apologies if I was rude. It really is an interesting area if you find yourself curious about it one day.
That’s the goal. But I can’t reject the fact that I need to work. It’s gotta happen. And I also don’t want to be depressed all the time. My comment is kind of about learning how to keep doing what I need to do without being sad and or angry about it all the time.
I’ve always been envious of those people who grew up knowing what they wanted to do with their lives and then they did it. It seems like what we want is incongruent with what is available. It’s like they were born into something that was designed for them, but I think at least part of it is parenting and education. Doesn’t help that our world is kind of fucked up though. Hard to close my eyes to that and be excited about choosing a career. That and* we’re kind of serfs.
How I see this problem is that we aren’t given to tools to help us decide how we want to live our lives. Work sucks and is a waste of time. Contributing to society is valuable and something I want to do.

mayo@lemmy.todayto Chat@beehaw.org•Anyone else want to just want to abandon society and go live in a commune?English2·2 years agoI like that idea. Continuing to make money, no matter if it’s just a few hundred dollars a month, is the main hurdle for me to leave. You’d still need to finance construction but it’s a good long term vision.
I am worried about fire seasons/smoke seasons. At best it shortens the tourist season and at worst I lose everything : /

Currently my plan is to get far enough into my career that I can spend half my time in city making money and half in the woods
I think the idea is they spend all their time in instagram and don’t want to leave.
They need the ram not the processor
mayo@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.ml•The Internet Is About to Get a Lot Worse (US focused)15·2 years agoHow is this line up with ‘liberty’? The US gov can’t stop intruding into the private sphere.
mayo@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.ml•The Internet Is About to Get a Lot Worse (US focused)3·2 years agoI think they do care about kids but it’s a dumb argument to take. Kids are helpless, everything can hurt them. Unless it’s something legal that is specifically causing kids harm and can be regulated, like guns, then bringing kids into the debate is just going for easy points.

mayo@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.ml•Google's AI Bots Tout 'Benefits' of Genocide, Slavery, Fascism, Other Evils26·2 years agoThis is a baseless claim I don’t know why it’s getting support other than the fact the people seem to like hating on a tool.
Damn that’s a lot more than I would think is needed. I think Craigslist had/has like 50 people so I figured you can still keep a business chugging along without a ton of staff.
