Gen z in America is hard mode on life, for sure.

Maybe not compared to India or Asia but still hard, from a western point of view.

Also because growing up on social media made you compare with others all day long, and you realized you dont have the same options as the previous generation in your country.

Its because we are moving towards an economy now where humans will work for Ai in exchange for basic income. For that to happen, you cant have too many people who can opt out, so you need a poor population.

I hope at some point, Americans realize whats happening and starts getting rid of data centers and flock cameras and whatever else they are putting up to make this happen.

Or engage in politics if you believe that will help. There will be a lot of discussions and decisions about these data centers being built. They need a lot of them.

My mother has somehow never held down an actual full time job, but has a house.

I have routinely worked 60, 80, 100 hour weeks much of my life. I sleep on the floor in a studio apartment.

[–] Brown_dude69@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

I can't even afford that 🥹

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago

Jesus christ, can't a woman even make a scathing critique of the failures of American capitalism without some guy talking about the size of her melons?

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 177 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Average American health insurance agent on their way to inform a 6yo they’re not covered.

The merican healthcare_don'tcare system

[–] YoureHotCupCake@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

They don't care until a Luigi shows up.

When I was in my early 20s I was near tears in my doctors office telling her that the health issues I was dealing with were ruining my quality of life and that I was so exhausted and in so much pain all the time that all I could do was go to work and come home and go straight to bed and had been like that for months. I was near suicidal and extremely depressed. She said "stop being dramatic, you could have cancer".

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah, while perspective is important, this just using people suffering from cancer as bat to stop a slight annoyance.

I have found that in the most cases it is far, far better to simply let the person cry their frustrations out, allowing the built up emotions a safe outlet, then when they have calmed down, start focusing on even the slightest positivity they can work with, after that you can start adding humor to the situation and in that you can add perspective.

I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

My response was "What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That's how fucking stupid you sound."

For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

My In laws are terrible people.

A whole melon? In this economy?

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Did you not see the picture, its clearly only half.

[–] brokenwing@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 1 day ago (4 children)

If life gives you lemons, buy melons.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

When God gives you lemon you FIND A NEW GOD.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic.

No lemons, on melon.

Too bad I hid a boot.

Lisa Bonet ate no basil.

War sir is raw.

Was it a car, or a cat I saw?

Lotta educated and unemployed people walking around, I wonder what they might get up to if the price of food and fuel goes up much more?

[–] vagrancyand@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing, the American populace is incapable of rebellion without bourgeois leadership telling them to rebel. Until the ruling class is splintered enough that a rebellious faction is willing to take the risk in recruiting the working class while somehow avoiding class consciousness, the US populace would never dare to go against its owners

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

They already took that risk on January 6th. The main splinters are the liberal owners and the fascist usurpers.

This thought has been tickling my brain recently.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 day ago

Nice melon.

[–] Tabooki2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Understood. Most of my time was with large companies where lots of people want to move up the ladder. Still very team oriented but also tried to stand out to get up a few rungs. Always willing to help out, jumping in where applicable to help solve problems that aren't in my area, sticking around during disasters etc etc

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Stay out of school kids!

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You shouldn't be in any kids ever
