That sounds like a nice cover version

Two days ago I wrote an overly sarcastic comment but it was late at night and apparently I both made it sound too realistic and didn’t put an /s - I didn’t think anyone would think anyone could be that stupid.

Turns out a lot of people assumed I seriously thought that my fictional dog’s vets were more likely to suggest euthanasia if they are Asian because I believed they used the corpses for meat and handed me fake ashes. I’ll definitely make sure to use /s in the future now. To both avoid looking like a racist conspiracy theorist and a dog owner.

Yeah because they are going to steal your most beloved jobs! Like cleaning and fast food cooking and everyone’s childhood career dream of being a toilet lady.

For real though, I could at least follow the logic if it were for high paying, competitive jobs. But these aren’t the migrants you are trying to keep out, in fact it is the one every country wants to get in. So why are the migrants the problem who are going to live in relative poverty, agreeing to wage theft, agreeing to horrible living conditions? The ones who won’t hardly have enough for a pension.

Also, there is nothing wrong with cleaning, fast food cooking, or toilet ladies. All the more power to them. It is a fucking disgrace that we regard certain unpleasant jobs (that will still need to be done) as low skill, low class, and award them with the lowest pay possible.

Out of interest, what do you mean with textured vegetable protein?

I am always amazed how everyone is so focused on billionaires only

Your first sentence sounds like the Zeiss add on youtube that has been after me several times a day for months now

Jokes, you’re talking about jokes

The bad songs listed are their greatest hits though

I agree with you 100%, every sentence, and now I don’t know whether I should up- or downvote you

I graduated from an elite university in my country within the STEM field, being the second best in the year or so. I can’t find a job because I never networked or did internships. I studied for the exams (which was easy) and otherwise got drunk with students and people from absolutely not my field. It feels like I wasted 6 years of my life.

People, for real, network. No one cares for your grades once you look for a job. They care whether you have experience, and you get both experience and the chance to talk about it when you network.

I have neither a yard nor a car, what do I do on a Saturday

With a cup, you can take it home with you and put it in the freezer and save it for later if you want.

This is on the verge of psychopathy but you get my upvote for sure.

Man, your freezer is like -18°C, gelateria ice cream is way warmer. You would so ruin ice cream by putting it in your freezer. Also why would you even do that?! If you want ice cream at home go buy it in the store, that stuff is made for long term storage. Eat it later my ass.

I theoretically agree with you because I don’t like to eat cones but I also like the aesthetics more, it’s at least a trash free option, and you can push a stroller/hold your toddler etc with a cone in your hand. But we are talking about eating the ice cream outside. I literally live across an amazing gelateria and never have I ever considered taking that ice cream home like a maniac. I’d rather stand outside my apartment and finish that ice cream than taking it inside.

Have my upvote, you deserve it.

Interesting. Their la rosetta pizza has beef, arugula and parmesan as toppings btw.

In German, rosetta is a slang for butthole and whenever I hear Rosetta Stone I imagine a kidney stone trapped in an anus.

My favorite pizzeria is also called rosetta and it grosses me out but I have accepted that them stamping every pizza with their butthole is justified if it makes that good of a pizza.

What’s up with that green person? I’m out of the loop

I find it more impressive that someone decided to name their sons dick and butt

I kind of fail to see how a life in which all my basic needs are secured as long as I agree for them to be secured for everyone else, thus freeing me from anxiously giving my life to the futile attempt to crawl above others, is “altruistic”. Working your ass off for nothing but your crude survival and the benefit of a handful of others doesn’t seem very selfish if you put it in this perspective.

In any case, whatever is going on right now - it’s… not good, to say the least. Wanting to fix the problem with the problem is horribly naive.

Anyway, nice meme.

Is body dysmorphia out of someone’s control? Is mental illness? Is being raised in a toxic society and being manipulated to never feel good enough?

You allow yourself way too much grace if you think you can judge a person’s appearance on the fact whether a person is responsible for their appearance or not. Even with plastic surgery. At some point in their lives they felt like they wanted to change something about their look. For what reasons, you don’t know. Why they went as far as they did or whether something was botched, you also don’t know. Whether they are happy or not with the results, you also don’t know.

It’s her responsibility because she did this willingly and agreed to it is such a short sighted and black and white way of thinking. Even if she did, even if she likes the result and it is as intended, it is not your place to body shame her or anyone at all. The best case scenario is that you are just bashing someone’s aesthetic choices based on your preferences. More likely you are adding insecurity to a vulnerable person (because all of us are vulnerable if we’re being honest).

So maybe try to be kind the next time. If you think it looks awful, keep it to yourself. We have so much negativity and judginess going around already.

I just don’t want to be homeless when I am old. That’s all I want. Having food and housing. A two room apartment for me and my husband would be nice. If I can use the public transport on top of that, I’m all set. A three room apartment would be a luxury and being able to go out every once in a while would be absolutely astronomical.

(I also want to have healthcare but I am in Germany so I got that going for me which is nice. )
