  As a non-American, I find it baffling and hilarious that many Americans are proud to work 80 hours a week. It’s not a flex. They’d regret having done so when they become too frail and forgetful at the old age. And all the money they saved and pension being collected will be spent on healthcare and medication instead.

  They did not even live their life when they were young and they won’t even enjoy the remainder.

      Propagandized == Dumb. No one is immune to propaganda, but propaganda can be overcome.

        The dimmer the better propaganda works. And Americans are dumb as shit. Don’t believe me, look who is president for the second time

    apparently in academia, they think its a flex for PI to be working that much, granted the competitive to be hired at 4-year is pretty high.

    Jokes on you, I’m young(ish) and not enjoying it already. Haven’t been enjoying it since about 2002.

    The finish line is a cliff/societal collapse.
