| Topic | The 40 hour work week is objectively bad |
| 1337toothbrush 07/16/18 3:47:09 AM #170 | Sativa_Rose posted... Why should the government determine how much you work? Considering the capitalist system is enforced by them, they do already. Employers can exert power over you only because the government backs the currency which they hold enough of to pay employees. --- |

Again, maximum before health problems =/= maximum productivity. If the healthy maximum was 80 hours per week, should we all be doing that instead? All you're looking for is the employer and saying the government must bend over for them except in cases of demonstrated health issues. I'd like to believe society serves the people, not just employers. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/16/18 3:35:57 AM #162 | KamenRiderBlade posted... 1337toothbrush posted...It can't be generalized like this. It depends on the work and depends on other factors such as commute, family size, activities outside of work, etc. Also, maximum before health decline doesn't mean maximum for productivity. Productivity can decline beforehand. Regardless, we should be trying to make our lives better, not squeezing every person for every ounce of productivity they supposedly have.The Employer will want to maximize out as much productivity as possible. All of that is irrelevant when the point is to improve people's lives. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/15/18 11:22:56 PM #103 | CommonJoe posted... We're working the same hours as factory workers from a century ago. This is after a century of the fastest progress in human history. They were able to reduce hours and double pay back then, why not now? How can you not see something wrong with this picture? Uh, no. I'm saying shaving one day off and making it a 32 hour work week would not kill us. In fact, we'd be much better off. Using stupid hyperbole and bringing up 5 minute work weeks makes no sense. UBI is a separate issue. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/15/18 11:07:16 PM #98 | Imagine trying to clean a room. There's a giant pile of shit in the middle of the room (the 40 hour work week) that would make the most difference if you worked at cleaning that. Instead people tell you to be more efficient with the rest of the room (neatly organize around this giant pile of shit to maximize less space). Do people "waste time"? Perhaps. Doesn't mean we're not spending more time at work than is necessary. We're working the same hours as factory workers from a century ago. This is after a century of the fastest progress in human history. They were able to reduce hours and double pay back then, why not now? How can you not see something wrong with this picture? --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/12/18 10:51:41 AM #64 | Sativa_Rose posted... EdgeMaster posted...the fact its easier to get from a millionaire to a billionaire than it is to get from ~50k a year to a millionaire. The pool of millionaires is a lot smaller than the pool of sub-millionaires. Also, hitting 1 million is not a huge feat given the number of baby boomers with retirement accounts. In high cost of living areas, it means even less. --- |

| Topic | I kinda miss the R word as an insult. |
| 1337toothbrush 07/11/18 2:24:29 PM #100 | It's stupid (see what I did there?) how vilified the word has become even though there are plenty of alternatives that mean the exact same thing that these same people will not bat an eyelash at when used. It also happens to be the most fun to say, so that's the saddest part. Are we just going to keep banning words whenever people decide to get triggered by them? There are a couple words that trigger me hard when I hear them, but I don't demand people stop using them. I bear it because I'm not a weak crybaby. Gee, I wonder if the words "weak" or "crybaby" will make the banned words list in the future. I'm sure "stupid" will at some point. --- |

| Topic | Someone tell me how hijabs are a form of expression at all? |
| 1337toothbrush 07/10/18 11:43:08 AM #92 | Deadpool_18 posted... Are we pretending that the culture that just now allowed women to drive is promoting their best interests now? "The culture" meaning all of Islam? Islam is not a monoculture. Women could drive in other predominantly Muslim countries long ago. The US just happens to ally with the most oppressive of regimes and allowing women to drive in Shitty Arabia is just a PR stunt for them to make their shitty "kingdom" look more appealing since their oil money is running out. By the way, the hijab is not religiously mandated. Stop getting your knowledge of Islam from terrorists who love using religion to oppress women. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/06/18 1:52:34 PM #26 | hockeybub89 posted... The fact that the auto industry has actually been moving towards more SUVs and trucks pisses me off every time I think about it. Not just because of climate change, but because these behemoths are never as cool as cars. It's an incredibly stupid move. I know they make more money for each one sold versus smaller vehicles, but the combination of increased gas prices and longer term auto loans (plus the allowance of such loans to people who can barely afford them) will blow up in their faces. Seems like it's primed to explode at any moment. --- |

Nude skins were common. Yeah, custom user content allowed + online = not for kids. Don't play stupid. User-created content is pretty much guaranteed to produce things you wouldn't want your kid to see. It doesn't matter if the base game is Roblox or Barney. --- |

| Topic | What constitutes as a "Real Job" |
| 1337toothbrush 07/04/18 10:04:03 AM #70 | Antifar posted... Since when do econ 101 graphs define what counts as a job? Since always. You can't make a living if you aren't getting paid enough for the work. Most people aren't making a living off youtube or "entertainment" in general and it's not necessarily that they're worse at it. It's really a matter of luck, just like any popularity contest. Even those lucky enough to make a living from it could possibly only make a temporary living off of it just because an algorithm change could make it non-viable. That's why it's hard to call it a real job and to aspire to make it a career is foolish. --- |

| 1337toothbrush 07/04/18 8:58:40 AM #62 | Gheb posted... You literally didn't argue a single point I made. You just said that entertainment doesn't follow logical economic model without any real backing. Sorry you don't understand the basics of supply and demand. You say they provide entertainment and then go on about important entertainment is. Entertainment is more plentiful than dirt. If all of youtube went away it wouldn't matter because there are a trillion alternatives. They're not getting paid for providing entertainment anyway. They mostly get paid for bringing "eyeballs". --- |
