Lost_All_Senses 03/31/21 10:52:38 PM #6:	It's fucked up what most you get paid for it. If you gotta work that much of your week, you should have the money to do way more stuff while still being able to save for emergencies. Everyone would be more content working 40+ hours a week if the rest of the time was all luxury. You shouldn't have to work 40 hours a week and question if you should spend your weekend fixing something yourself because you're not sure you can afford to pay someone else to do that job while also holding onto a responsible amount of money and being about to afford additional comforts. --- Name checks out "Try to talk and they ain't listening, but they'll point it out when you get ignorant" - Dreezy <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:952337933] in Is working...

This isn't about me. I know my shortcomings. I'm responsible for my own position to a large degree, I'm very vocal about them and I'm working at them.

I'm also a minimalist, so that digs against myself as well. I don't really need much.

Damn_Underscore 03/31/21 11:39:30 PM #29:	No. Not having to work would be an ideal that could realistically happen in the future when AI is able to do more and better work than humans can. MAYBE we'll see this at the end of our lifetimes. Most likely we'll see work that is greatly aided by AI but not totally surpassed by it. Not being the ideal, which it hasn't been for hundreds of thousands of years of human existence, is not fucked up. --- I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes. <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:952339178] in Is working...

Squall28 03/31/21 11:41:50 PM #30:	Lost_All_Senses posted... Ok. So you don't disagree with any of it then? Cause I was just jumping the gun, trying to fast track where we were headed in my mind. But if you agree with that, it's all good and I misfired. I'm for progressive income tax, social programs, and more equal pay by corporations. This has nothing to do with labor being a necessity for society to survive. Maybe there will be a day when robots do everything for us and we don't have to work, but it's not today. I explained why I don't think working is fucked up (because it's necessary), and you went on some crazy rant about billionaires. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis <cite>Squall28 posted [p:952339236] in Is working...

masticatingman 03/31/21 11:42:20 PM #31:	Eh, I work on a computer all day and in my free time can do literally anything I want pretty much other than illegal drugs. Well, scratch that. I could do something like steroids, since those would never get tested for in an office setting. --- Fervent appearing <cite>masticatingman posted [p:952339254] in Is working...

You could elaborate on where my projection is and I'll tell you how close I feel you are. I will admit, I jumped ahead and skipped the middle part of the convo and went immediately to the bigger picture in my head. Forgetting to connect the dots. Which isn't good to do when you're also throwing in accusations. If I wouldn't of did that, we wouldn't be here. That's my theory after reevaluating. If you still see the projection angle, I'll hear it out. --- Name checks out "Try to talk and they ain't listening, but they'll point it out when you get ignorant" - Dreezy <cite>Lost_All_Senses posted [p:952339293] in Is working...
