Hustling Hustling Hustling. Hustle makes me feel good. Oh Yea.

To be honest I’d also rather electrocute myself. It’s just that I’d like to hustle for socialism, not capitalism catgirl-flop

      Corporate managers and their bootlickers. Makes one feel better for Exploiting/Being exploited.

      This is a rather controversial subject when we take a deep dive, because even under Socialism you could argue promotion of a “tireless worker who serves the people” could lead to discrimination. against those who aren’t able to perform as well as others. And how does one judge objective performance in the first place?

        a significant part of the manager problem is that leadership roles are the promotion track
        in most jobs you can only go so far without taking on a management role ignoring that it’s an entirely separate skill set that frankly, most people are shit at

    When your normal day job is basically a vacation already, I guess the notion of doing even less feels bad?

    Ask any worker what they want to do on vacation and it’s usually “rest and recover because work is killing me”, and that’s what I did on my recent vacation; just tried to heal a sore aching body.

    IDK I agree with him on one point, just sitting on the beach sucks. It’s hot, so you get sweaty, so you need to slather yourself in sunscreen every hour because sweat is washing it off, and at the end of the day you feel like you’re one day closer to getting skin cancer and you’re not even well-rested! Hanging out on the beech I also see some (white!) people just never apply sunscreen, and it pains me to think about the condition of their skin in a few years.

    Just chilling in a tent in the woods reading a book tho? That’s amazing. Hiking through mountains with no internet access for a week? God let me stay there for another week!

    I can also see where he’s coming from with boredom and the need to do something. I do agree that not doing anything for too long gets boring. But on the other hand never spending any time doing nothing is even worse. The burnout must be awful.

      I hate that kind of vacation.

      Had a neighbor that only did this kind of traveling. He traveled like three times a year to some all inclusive hotel in a poor country over the weekend and just ate and drank and maybe took a day looking at the surrounding poverty and then back to the hotel again. Blogged about it. Same shit every time.

      Some picture of the airplane food + basic ass comment. Picture of the terminal + complains. A picture of some basic ass hotel room + stale ass joke. Picture of “continental breakfast” slop + comment. Some picture of a drink at the beach + basic ass comment. Some picture of the poor area + pointless comment. Picture of getting home + basic ass “finally home” comments. (Thank god that’s over! I guess.)

      Sun burned, bloated and strained. Nothing interesting, no infrastructure project, no nature stuff, no unique experiences, no strange local food, nothing. Maybe a picture of that one building everyone already seen a million times… Just thinking of the amount of airplane fuel spent on this guy so he can eat slop, have a drink at the littered beach and slowly degrading from radiation is mind boggling. Jet-settler mindset.

        I’m afraid that’s what “travel” means to a lot of people. I don’t know if they genuinely like it that way or if it’s just a societal expectation that they never dare challenge.

        Like, if you want to spend your vacation doing nothing (which is totally fine) you can probably do it a short train ride from where you live (unless you’re in the US or something)

        Even if you want to spend your vacation doing something interesting, there’s probably a lot to see in just a few hours by train from where you live. I know a couple of people who’ve been to all-inclusive beach resorts in like 5 countries but never been to the next town over on their railroad mainline.

      Literally. I’m sick of the fact that the teacher’s pet personality type suddenly becomes cool when you’re an adult.

      Porky will be fine if he lets us have vacation. Literally this is a fact of biology. Exercise will not count unless you do some quality slacking off too.

        Not “cool” among us kids in this metaphor but certainly encouraged and often remunerated by the teacher. I had a lifelong best friend turn out to be a bosse’s pet, shit’s so gross to behold and from what I saw the pay isn’t worth the self hate.

    Either work for socialism or do some recreation with comrades/friends, literally play football/any sport, watch a live performance, do anything like that. I will never understand the enjoyment of bourgeois recreation, like fucking golf? Sitting on a beach? If you’re doing to sit still then why not visit a monestry in China, India, or Bhutan, or some mountainous place? You can meditate there and actually find some peace.

      I’m guessing the vast majority of people can get to a beach for an awful lot cheaper than roundtrip flights + lodging to any of those countries lmao.

        Honestly it was shortsighted of me because I don’t have any beach near me and for me going to a beach and going to some mountains is the same since you will need a long train journey or flight anyway.
