  My first instinct was to call this a repost as I remember seeing this like 4 years ago on reddit but this is a different platform altogether.

  Though it Is worth the reminder to Treat yo self

    Should you even call something out as a repost when the last time it was posted was 4 years ago?

    After all, millions of people have been born during that time

    • Shortstack@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I mean yeah that’s true.

      But on reddit reposts were everywhere and it was very common for bots to karma farm by doing so, so calling it out had a purpose.

      My thoughts exactly. On reddit I used to reply to repost complaints, which I find annoying, by saying that they were the most reposted thing I saw. But tbh their frequency has seemed to decrease, almost as if they’re being auto-removed. If so, I appreciate it. A subject being repeated at intervals means people are still interested in it.

  Its work

  Working, in the way that we do, takes years off of our lives and ruins the quality of life of people in their final years too.

  I mean, its a meme and the message is put across very well but, for me, an important distinction is that wealthy increases life, as much as, it not more than poverty decreases it. Its wealth specifically and not wages. After a certain point, increased wages actually have an inverse effect on lifespan.

  Wealth, in these instances is, of course, capital that makes you money. Specifically, money you make NOT from working.

  The exact point at which life expectancy and QoL increases is always around thr exact level of wealth and passive income someone would need to drastically lower their working hours or stop completely.

  Women still live longer than men. There are some biological factors for this, such as oestrogen being a vasodilator etc. However, now that women more and more work as much as men do, the difference is much smaller.

  Nothing else has changed, between the sexes, to an extent that could explain such a shift in the data.

  Nothing else reconciles all of the positions, let alone in one single stroke.

    Work has never been so unstressful, if you look back at the history of mankind.

    Industrialization killed workers with 60 hour shifts in unsafe environments. Middle ages made you work 18 hours a day once you were 7 and made you starve if the harvest was bad. In the stone age your family died from hunger after you got killed on the hunt.

    Life expectancy was never as high as today.

    • AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      And yet, we actually have the capacity now to provide for everyone’s needs without working anyone to death.

      So why don’t we?

      I agree that it was even worse before. Although, I’m a little puzzled as to what point is being made. Are you agreeing with me or not? I can’t tell.

      Looking back at what I wrote, what point is all this agreeing with or refuting?

      To me, it seems like you’re arguing that the passage of time is a good thing. I don’t remember saying that the passage of time wasn’t good.

      You are being downvoted by people who didn’t read all of your comment, you are right, job has never being so unstressful but unstressful ≠ happy,

  The correct amount of rest is the amount you wouldn’t dare admit to anybody. And may not be able to afford to take.

  I know I posted this before, but it’s an important reminder.

    Please repost regularly, we shan’t forget.

    I always say that the most damage may health took was not from drinking and smoking excessively - the most damage came from the stress of a defunct childhood and the subsequent lifestyle.

    • Jf2540@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah, know what you mean.

• zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  I sometimes wonder how much my childhood shortened my lifespan. I think work wouldn’t top that stress I had.

  • Truffle@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Have you taken the ACES test? I thought it was a great eye opener. At least it was for me.

    source

    • zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Just did, didn’t cover anything relating to my issues. I scored a 1, and that’s only because “Was a household member depressed or mentally ill” fits me.

      I’m glad I’ve never taken it before because I definitely would’ve interpreted it as a sign that I didn’t really experience anything bad and that I’m just so bad at everything I can’t function in even a normal environment. At least now I can stand up for myself and say that’s not true. Still sucks to feel unseen by a test whose name claims to be general.

  Along the same theoretical lines, it seems plausible to me that the inner stresses of being an asshole might do the same thing. So maybe there’s some justice in the world after all.

  • Glytch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I would like to believe this, unfortunately the large number of very old assholes seems to indicate otherwise.

    • CluelessDude@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I think the trick is not caring that you are one and probably believing you are always right, everyone else doesn’t matter and that you are the center of the universe, so that the side effects really don’t apply to you because that’s your reality no remorse to dwell on.

      You think you hate being around them, they have to be around them all the time. They lose if they live a long or a short time.

  it’s not encouraging to think of someone being in med school and not reading the course description before signing up. if there was no course description that’s almost even worse

  source

  • NielsBohron@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    As someone who teaches chemistry to premeds, this is not surprising at all. To make a swing generalization, premeds, med students, and the MDs they become are done if the most entitled, condescending, and obvious people I’ve ever met.

    There are exceptions of course, but in general, I can’t stand most premeds or how our culture puts MDs on a pedestal.

    • solsangraal@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      yea, a friend of mine from high school went through all of it and became a general surgeon. and i’ve heard stories. that and my experience from dating and living with a CFer lung transplant patient probably gave me as much of an “outsider’s view” of the medical/hospital industry as one could possibly have

      the MD=pedestal thing died for me long ago

      i know i’m not talking about the “point” of the post. don’t care.

    • someguy3@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      So I’m curious. The way I see it, the actual practicing of medicine doesn’t advance the field itself. What advances it is research and development. Do the researchers actually go though med school or is that path more like biology PhD, chemistry PhD, etc?

    hardly the point

    • iii@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      We all understand the point. But it’s important to question the source. It suggests a gullability, or fabrication.

    It was probablly just a list of 20 humanities electives they had to pick 4 of for gen Ed requirements (not say9ng this is a bad thing maybe if there was more of this 1/4 of every engineering class wouldn’t go straight to Lockheed martin)

    They’re supposed to be less rigorous and a little more general than other courses, this is really grasping at straws for a reason to ignore the point being made.

  • Chuymatt@beehaw.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    There might have been a less than clear course description. Also, it may have been the lack of sleep.

  I’d love to see the bibliography from that elective
