@vethoe22 @beckyvenus sorry the whole bootstraps thing doesn’t work for anyone anymore. you have to actually improve things for people, not just tell them to suck it up. people can’t just snap out of their lived reality.

@ela42835 @beckyvenus “The world sucks so I’m just gonna say fuck social norms and being respectful to others in a public place” is a really shitty way to go through life. This is the world we’re living in, make the best of it instead of wallowing and crying incompetence

i’ve been a barista and i’ve been a bartender and i’ve been a server and tbh i think the prevalence of a single airpod while someone works is another symptom of the Attention Span crisis we are engulfed in 💔💔 idk yall it’s a time and place

@vethoe22 @beckyvenus yeah newsflash people get depressed when they’re exploited, again if you want service workers to provide quality you have to not exploit them. it’s really not hard to understand

@PJayLan @beckyvenus unless they interviewed for the job with airpods in your point doesn’t make any sense. and there’s people that work these jobs that don’t wear them, so what’s your excuse for exploiting them?

@ela42835 @beckyvenus They’re paid minimum wage because they’re too stupid to know to take their AirPods out while interacting with customers

@O_0olI_1_lIo0_O @octatate …yes dogs are much dirtier than anything you’ve described here

@octatate Meanwhile your hair and skin cells are naturally falling off, people coughing with their mouths open, coughing into their hands and then credit card machine or seasoning shakers, people who haven't showered in days, etc But dogs are the problem lol

something needs to be done about dog culture WHY is your dog in chipotle?

@blitzkriegbauer @heartwrrm actually shifting to using the energy i save by slacking off at the job where they exploit me has made my life and attitude 10000% better instead of lying to myself that this company cares about me or even sees the hard work i used to put in, nice try boomer brain

@ela42835 @heartwrrm Sure, but with that attitude you’re not likely to find something better

it’s your god given right to half ass your job. show up high. listen to music while you work. go to the bathroom to go on your phone. do as little work as possible

@meinnit90000 @mort985 @madsssagascar so when you worked service jobs you never once touched your phone when customers were around?

@mort985 @madsssagascar yeah you signed up for a job where you have to talk to and provide a service to the public that’s literally in your fucking job description like I’ve done all manner of these jobs and that’s the way it goes, you’re welcome to go work on a factory line somewhere

sorry to sound like a boomer but the prevalence of airpods and phones from people working service and retail jobs rn is fucking bananas

@blitzkriegbauer @heartwrrm the only person who’s playing themselves is the one working too hard for too little pay for a company that would fire them for getting sick or a loved one dying

@heartwrrm I mean you can but you’re only playing yourself in the end

I don’t give a fuck bro nobody hardly even wants to live

@DBlackburn57876 @wynrosei complaining that women are outperforming men in high-paying jobs and college graduations is not the flex you think it is, little boy

@wynrosei Treated badly?! Fucking delusional. Women stopped having babies because careers became more important. They have less respect for men now, because they expect men to out earn them, yet women are taking high paying jobs and are the vast majority of college graduates.

Do you realize how badly you have to treat a mammal to stop it from reproducing?

@retrobrahhh @Demo4fhs projection at it’s finest. you think you’re not special so you try to convince others the same thing. pathetic

@Demo4fhs taking risks would lead to failure most likely. most people can never get out of the nine to five and trying to makes things worse. You're not special you're an NPC. respectfully...

A 9-5 is so insane to me cus you really taking my whole day for a couple hundred dollars. … i wish i took more risks growing up. Cared less what people thought. Planned better .

@kwilson5625 @Demo4fhs bragging about how easy it was in the 80s also telling us how out of touch you are by saying “just start your own company” as if the average person can do that. i honestly hope boomers like you keep saying this dumb shit because you keep proving every stereotype right

@Demo4fhs I worked a 4 day workweek in the 80s. You could start your own company and create whatever schedule you want.

When the boomers are gone do y’all want to make 4 day workweeks / 3 day weekends permanent?

@Westernwold1 @W33Cleveland @EoDbrat @EliasGravesLit you’re literally on twitter trying to convince us how miserable you are but Okay

@W33Cleveland @EoDbrat @EliasGravesLit She describes a pretty common experience and is pretty similar to my own. No convincing necessary! Also, I’ve also earned everything I have and leftist fuckwits are not taking it away from me.

Dear Gen Z: My mother ate LARD sandwiches when she was a girl. She lived in a dirt floor shack with no electricity or indoor plumbing. She wore dresses made from flour sacks. Fuck you and your whining about the cost of a mocha latte.

Toru Miyazaki gave 11 cats with advanced kidney disease an experimental injection. 15 others didn’t get it. A year later, 9 of the 11 treated cats were alive. Only 3 of the 15 untreated cats survived. He just filed for approval, and the drug fixes a defect only cats have. Most cats die from one thing: their kidneys fail. By age 10, 4 in 10 cats already have chronic kidney disease, and by age 15, the rate doubles to 8 in 10. Once diagnosed, a cat has about 2 years left. The reason kidney disease hits cats so hard is a broken protein in their blood. All mammals carry a protein that helps the kidneys clean out waste. In humans and dogs, the protein floats freely and goes to work when the kidneys are in trouble. In cats, it stays stuck to another protein and can’t get loose. So the waste piles up, and the kidneys eventually give out. Miyazaki originally found the protein in 1999, back when he was at the University of Tokyo. He figured out the cat-specific glitch in 2015. The paper he published in the Veterinary Journal in February laid out the trial. The injection is a working version of the missing protein. His company, the Institute for AIM Medicine, filed the approval paperwork with Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture on April 24, 2026. If the review clears, the drug goes on sale in spring 2027. The 30-year lifespan figure in the tweet is Miyazaki’s own projection of what cats could reach without kidney disease. The trial only ran a year, and the average cat today lives 15. Most die from the same disease this injection treats. The research almost died in 2020. After running out of funding during COVID, Miyazaki went public. Cat owners across Japan responded by sending in 300 million yen, around 2 million dollars total. He resigned from the University of Tokyo and worked on the drug full time. The treatment in front of regulators today exists because cat lovers refused to let the research die.

finding out the artemis ii astronauts talked with poets and studied poetry so they knew how to properly convey what they were seeing in words and saying that the arts played a huge role in their time in space. oh my god

IMO, men invented patriarchy because they at some point in the past realised they are the weaker sex. That’s why they are in cahoots to protect the patriarchy bc it’s the only way to extract undying subservience from women…

@Ringo6 @Schmutz_7R @Midwest_expat @A_MAN_IN_YELL0W microwaves are like 30 bucks bro, they’re not some luxury purchase, why the ever loving fuck would you bring that up other than to show us how out of touch you are

@Schmutz_7R @Midwest_expat @A_MAN_IN_YELL0W Boomers didn't have cell phones and microwaves. Maybe your parents raised your expectations about what life owes you.

They also like to ask why Gen Z isn’t going out drinking. Good luck having a fun night at the bar for $28. The problem with all this rhetoric is that it blames young people for doing basic things humans have always done (like grab lunch) rather than live like monks/penny-pinchers
