That's what this rush into the world of cell phones is like

We don't know how this really ends. And the painting has been bleak so far

Social media, constant connection, it's ENRAGNG shit.

@Scribblehatch pipl are cuks thats why they think a cell phone is a necessity

...... are you trying to make a case that cell phones are bad for the population?

@Jasril cell phones are bad for the population look how stupid people have become

also Radiation

lol

I think what it does for stress outweighs the convenience.

people have literally always done stupid things.... just in the past they used to die, now we can save them XD

It will be years before we have the hard stats about cell phones and heart attacks.

Could be decades. But I know stress.

I've unplugged before. I've never had a cell phone, but I've gone farther than that.

Re: housing and roommates

@Atkins i believe that chart

I've abdicated all the regular websites. From tumblr twitter youtube, and even messengers like skype and discord.

Not having a two income household for so long is pretty signficant.

When you do this, there's this initial panic in the first 12 hours.

Not sharing bills for 10 years basically.

But then you recline

lol

And I'm dead serious.

NAtalie Holme Elsberg should live at 7.25/hr dumb bitch

Being connected is like being nude in a swamp.

Mosquitoes feasting on every area you're not currently slapping.

you might wanna recline again based on how you were so enraged by the idea of cell phone normalization just a moment ago

If you have two people splitting bills, each earning minimum wage, that's livable (if uncomfortable).

@Atkins dude ....

That suggestion of yours won't help you escape my argument.

My argument will haunt you to the cliffs of england.

im just trying to help you

=p

And even if you jump off, my argument will be down there waiting for you.

you didn't even account the amount of time lost to travel to work or traveling for foods

nah, your argument will leave my mind as soon as it stop being typed =3

Like a Tex Avery cartoon. No matter what you do to try and keep Droopy away, my argument will be there.

O.o

So reddit is a circle jerk?

You post that too much, Contro.

that on the other hand will never be washed away

i know

Kinda lost now.

lots of circlejerking going on

who's circlejerking? you've lost me

I thought we were not allowed to post NSFW stuff here...

dunno

but minimum wage should be abolished!

I'm not saying there should be a minimum wage, I think there should be more honesty what it's become.

@da britian we are already talking about NSFW topics

it's just a racist institution used to keep minorities from being employed~

People think you can actually live on it. Or that it's worth the same as when it was when the Boomers were kids.

talking about min wage is not safe for work

Or that it was always worth this little, even when Boomers were kids.

People think you can get a minimum wage job and pay your way through college.

Which is a problem when there are no alternatives between that and getting something as sinister as a COLLEGE LOAN

Back when boomers were twenty-somethings earning minimum they were married.

that girl whose tweet tim shared just got married

THERE ARE NO OTHER VENUES. IT'S HORRIFIC

college is evil anyways, not worth going~

oh wait nvm that was 2003

Oh but trade school is fine, and worth going to, right?

Trade school, somehow occupies a different dimension from college.

meh, sometimes, not always

Well, trade school costs money too.

tech companies are not asking for a degree now

Maybe not as much, but same problem. You can't pay for it as someone without a job that pays higher than minimum wage.

And all I want is for people to be honest about it.

everyone wants experience... we need more apprenticeships~

people dont want to go through experiences to get experience

they demand high pay

meh

No.

yes

I'll tell you what they want.

a big black ??

They want to know for a fact they're not just being GRIFTED BY PREDATORY EMPLOYERS.

tell me what they want, what they really really want

Y'know what's haunting?

Apprenticeships and OJT are costly to companies so they want to offload those costs to employees.

Hey I can post embedded links & images here...
Now time to post some eldritch porn:

Hearing two different sides "Yeah if you get an internship that's experience" and "Ah yeah, employers say internship doesn't count as experience"

--WHICH ONE IS RIGHT?

i went to trade school and ive succedded imo

internships are slavery

In the company's logic, why should they pay to train an employee when they can just force the employee to train themselves out of pocket (at a school), or trick another company into footing the bill of their training.

college is not necessary if you can think

im surprised you haven't gone off about the military yet with how much of a fervor you seem to have worked your self into

THE MILITARY!!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!

internships are necesary experience for medicine tho

us armed forces pay for schooling

If you take a single ritalin in your life, you're ineligible from service forever.

😐

thats a lie

No it isn't.

Fuck you.

I'm right.
