So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the 'burning marl.' Old wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. HELL IS – OTHER PEOPLE! –Jean Paul Sartre, No Exit Sartre was (arguably) an optimist. It's not that other people are unpleasant: quite the contrary! There's nothing that makes the day (or, pointedly, the night) …Read More

We know how tech bosses would like to treat their workers. Tim Cook became Apple CEO after he figured out how to shift Apple production to Chinese contract manufacturers without the company’s product plans leaking or its manufacturing quality declining. All it took to achieve those goals was a working environment so toxic that the factories needed to install suicide nets to catch the workers who’d rather die than spend another day assembling iPhones under the conditions Cook enforced.

Then there’s Jeff Bezos: This year’s Met Gala was sponsored by Bezos, and protesters ringed the building with bottles of (fake) urine, to highlight the fact that the conditions that Bezos created for his warehouse workers and drivers are so onerous that they don’t allow for bathroom breaks (for a man with a penis-shaped rocket, Bezos is weirdly hostile to the human kidney) (or at least, other people’s kidneys).

Every Big Tech company has a sweatshop tucked away somewhere – a small city of traumatized Kenyan content-moderators, say; or a high-rise full of QA people working through the night to find bugs in a blockbuster video game in the hours before it ships.

Any boss who can subject other people to this kind of treatment does not, at some foundational level, truly believe that other people are real. If you understand other people’s suffering to be as real as your own, you could never institute a work regime like this. No wonder Elon Musk calls everyone who disagrees with him a “non-player character.”

it's always so funny how insistent people are that war "isn't inherently political" like you would be hard pressed to find something more inherently political

posting on tumblr is risky because there's always a chance that your diary will undergo peer review

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

Hey OP, love your scalding take here; don't forget about commutes.

Once you factor in commute times (which even for short distances can be grotesquely inflated due to the fact that so many people are all commuting at the same time, but that's a different conversation) many people are actually devoting upwards of 10-12 hours a day on "work related tasks."

my life with ADHD

This is very true and a great post.

But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced

thatgirlwithadhd

I think your point is excellent. But also consider:

That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.

This addition is so important.

I don't think it's unreasonable for our public officials to be expected to prove they're alive and not in a coma to be able to retain their office.

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.

And there should be, you know, consequences for the people who would do such a thing.
