And it just gets progressively worse for the next 60 years.

It does not, whatâs wrong with you all
LwL@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Bad life rng, I think
For me it got progressively worse for the next 12 years then suddenly better and then suddenly even better after uni. But Iâm lucky to have a job that pays well, that I donât hate, with great colleagues.

MehBlah@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Schools have turned in to daycare centers for working parents.

Yeah in the US seems to generally start mid August.
But recently I learned that in state of Tennessee they stay school mid July, so it is even crazier.
vaionko@sopuli.xyz â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
In Finland most schools started last week

lol in Italy children would die from heatstroke if we did that
turbowafflz@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Pretty common where I am (mid-atlantic US). I think itâs a newer development, like in the past 20ish years. Iâm not sure what the reason is, the semester isnât any longer it just starts and ends earlier
Fabian@lemmy.zip â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Isnât it sad that most people dislike or even hate(ed) school? Shouldnât it be fun and exciting?
Gorilladrums@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
School canât be fun and exciting all the time, otherwise kids would just have 8 hours of recess every day. They still need to learn math, spelling, reading, and science, and despite it not always fun. Ideally there should be a balance that tries to maximizes both education and a childâs mental health.

The point of school (until collage) is to scare you away from further education with bullshit subjects and make you into a perfect wage slave.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
And now with no future their suffering at school is extra pointless. No longer do they work towards securing their own future, they merely toil scholastically because of a societal machine that continues running despite long past surviving its own purpose.

You could learn for yourself, you know?
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
That is not what people go to school for. Schools actively discourage being an autodidact by insisting you learn what they tell you to learn.

Look around you, wherever you live, I bet most people are fairly happy. So if every day is dreadful to you, maybe you have depression.
UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Nope! My friend crashed out at me once because, according to him, Iâm the only person that he sees smiling in public. In workplaces, not so much, there (almost) everyone is smiling, they make jokes all the time.
xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Most people are either faking it or just wrong.
sexy_peach@feddit.org â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Wrong?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Thanks, Iâm cured
sexy_peach@feddit.org â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
No, but you might benefit from medication and therapy, like I have

Reminds me of when I started my gov job.

I doubt thatâs your niece. đ
Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Yeah it took me moment to realise this was a pre-existing meme.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Are you assuming their gender?
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
No.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Please donât post pictures of children online
bubblybubbles@lemmy.ml â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
This is an ancient meme from the time of the internet elders đ Iâm sure that kid is lik in their 20âs now
Allero@lemmy.today â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâd say âonly post them if they themselves want to be posted and delete on requestâ
Moms forcing kids into taking a picture, or even worse, stealthily picturing them and then sharing it all over WhatsApp groups or Facebook or whatever is terrible.
PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Fuck school. What a terrible institution. It doesnât produce smart and capable adults. It doesnât produce adults, period. It produces traumatized overgrown children with no sense of self-worth.
I say this as somebody who did well in school and overall liked going there and didnât get bullied too much.
After school I had to slowly claw back ownership over my life.
School teaches you that you are one in a million. You are not deserving of special attention. The only way to success is to respect and appeal to authority. You donât need to learn, you just need to pass. You do not have the ability to influence your social surroundings. You are only equal to your peers, you are below your teachers.
And we wonder why adults are assholes smh
jerkface@lemmy.ca â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Learns fast.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
The second day of school is always worse than the first.
And then the third day is worse than the second.
This continues throughout your life until you die.
joyjoy@lemmy.zip â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Only in America. In other places, you graduate or drop out before dying.
VonReposti@feddit.dk â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Is this a school shooting joke?

Until you get a job and it starts all over again
A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Nah siblings. Theres a hack: self-employment. Work for your goddamn selves. Get the money. Call no man boss.
Itâs not always easy and it took me years to do it but I did it and⌠well I think I am pretty special tbh but there are LOTS of people who arenât and theyre doing just fine.
Fuck a job, get a trade.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Iâve been self employed. Not only was my boss a slave driver heâd jerk me off three times a day and fuck my wife
Allero@lemmy.today â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
As a part self-employed, part regularly employed myself, it has its drawbacks.
You have little to no protections as a worker, and bear a lot of the risks. You may run out of orders or get sick and youâre the only person responsible for your safety net. Given that self-employment quite often pays less than regular one, this might be a big issue.
But on a bright side, thereâs so much more freedom in this. You choose what to do, and unless you run a place or something, you choose when and sometimes even where you do it.
For me, I found a very welcoming space for self-employment, particularly research contracts. Projects take anything from 3 months to a few years, and you only have to check in once a few months to tell how itâs going and whatâs next. I have full access to the laboratory resources I need, and half of the job is paperwork (compiling sources, devising methods, referencing against equipment, estimating bills, writing reports, writing articles for public projects, applying for new projectsâŚ) that can be done from home.
So, I can easily take a week off this part if I need time for personal projects, and can double down when I feel I can pull it off. This reduces mental strain dramatically, though requires some level of discipline. Pay is not overwhelming, but it keeps me afloat. So, overall, Iâm happy with my choices.
