  I’m going to start by acknowledging I’m privileged not to worry too much about finances since I have a well paying job that I quite enjoy. I realize that the grind is a bitter necessity for some.

  That said, living simply affords you the time to do this kind of thing. Notice how there’s no 70 inch MagnaPhallix 5000 OLED TV in the background. It’s old furniture in a cave. If you’re happy with simple things and time spent with friends you don’t need the grind as much.

  I work for a company that does.

  Guess what? Right now I'm working on a project pretty much nonstop because I want to

  I'm invested in the task, I want to get back to work immediately after breakfast (right now) because I know what I'm doing is important, and that when I have nothing important to do, I can just play mahjong or something online.

  Treating your workers like competent, motivated adults will make them want to be competent, motivated adults.

    Yep. I cannot believe how many business leaders don’t get this basic concept.

    It’s not rocket science. The relevant books and research data have been published for half a century.

  The biggest problem is that many people require the grind because we lack enough systems to ensure basic needs are met for them. When the grind is the only way to feed your family and afford rent, you gotta grind. The best way to break grind culture is to ensure that basic needs are met only requiring a standard work week and a single job.

  Looks like a normal Swedish fika, with added blankets. Must be winter.

  I’m really and truly all for not normalizing the grind and grind culture as I hate it. But right now, I’ve got to do it. I’ve got to put in time outside of work on this free online class on web development called The Odin Project because the thought of 20 more years in desktop support sickens me. So if I must grind out a year to improve my life, so sadly be it. I’m going to take a cat nap, recharge, and hit the books.

    Good luck with that! Hopefully in a few years you’ll be able to just be like on that picture

  I'd prefer that memes mostly exist in communities clearly labeled to be meme filled, so that I can ignore them most of the time. I keep blocking more and more communities because I see a few memes from them...

    Yes, I knew there might be some issues with that post, sorry for that. I had a look at the rules and didn’t find anything preventing them, but I can for sure restrain from that in the future.

      You have nothing to be sorry about. You politely inquired about posting memes, you didn't simply start posting large numbers of them.

    Very good question, to be honest I’m not expert enough in Winnie the Pooh’s lore to answer you
