If your "job" is to convince brainless zoomers to eat tide pods or convince them to try DIY plastic surgery with hammers, maybe burning out isn't a bad thing. Maybe we're just seeing nature healing itself.

Bonesmashing?! Just when I thought people couldn't get any stupider.

Boo hoo, losers. Your device has a power switch. Influencers have a warped and inflated sense of the value they create. They can stop at any time and use their skills in other ways.

Making good content is hard, but ‘good’ content doesn’t have an expiration date. Shallow brain-rot content does and that’s what the algorithms reward.

The entitlement that influencers have is nauseating. There are many creators out there laboring in near obscurity and producing useful content all the time for little or no compensation.

They are tools for Zuck and fools for propping his platforms up. It sounds like a hard slog, but they can stop any time.

You get this a joke?

Children were never eating tide pods either.

My lord the amount of “I have a REAL job” in here is too damn high. I work 8 hours a night, 40+ hours a week, in an automotive plant. My job can be very stressful, and physically demanding. So what?

I don’t sit here and whine about people that stare at their screens (IT, developers, etc) all day. Are they really doing any work? After all, they are not performing physical labor.

How is it that different for people who create content? I’d argue that they do more work, as they have to set up, film, edit and market their work.

See how silly this sounds? A job is a job. Unless you own your own business, you are making money for someone else.

Children were never eating tide pods either

Yes they were. Because some people really are that dumb.

The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

So far in 2018, there have been 37 reported cases among teenagers — half of them intentional, according to the data.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/01/13/teens-are-daring-each-other-to-eat-tide-pods-we-dont-need-to-tell-you-thats-a-bad-idea/

And that's just reported numbers for teenagers. I can almost guarantee you the number of idiots that ate one and didn't know how to call poison control is much higher.

Meanwhile, I work in a straining job where I come home, my knees feel weak, my right ankle is aching like fuck, I am mentally drained, I barely can even put together a thought process that tells me I should even have breakfast while fighting the urge to sleep while I try to have a fraction of what constitutes as a life. As well as work in a place, where I am almost always on threat of being fired for something petty because my management feels they have to have a bone to pick with me by fucking around with me and being snarky while doing it.

Why the fuck are you doing that to yourself? Get another job. It sounds highly unhealthy where you're currently at.

Maybe you should stream about it? Passive income you fuckin twat.

At least in some cases, it might just be wholesome advice. The fact that you have "a job" and a whole different persona from that and they're two separate things that sometimes intertwine probably brings you closer to us in administrative tasks (in the end, IT is by definition always something administrative rather than actually productive) than me as in an IT guy with an influencer. Because ultimately, your actual identity is your job, and by conclusion, your whole life is performative, which sounds REALLY exhausting

Yeah, way to make it sound soooooo easy. In a country where thousands and thousands of jobs are cut at a given. You'd be a fucking idiot to quit a job cold and compete in a job market flooded with people needing a job. What kind of reality are you living in where people can just simply go and pick up a job? I've had a period of my life where I was jobless for a year and a half, trying and trying but getting no where. Why the fuck would I want that again because some nobody online said "D'UHHH GET ANOTHER JOB!" without realizing where we are in status of this country.

Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?

You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.

How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod? So you tell the guy when you're checking in at the ER "Homie and I were just playing catch with a tide pod and I was yelling at cousin Mabel to get off the dang roof and it just dropped into my mouth and I swallowed. It was a one in a million shot doc. One in a million."

More likely they did it intentionally and didn't want to admit to it to avoid embarrassment. That or one of their dumb buddies thought it'd be funny based on some Tiktok they saw so they dropped one into someone's bowl of Doritos.

Either way all I was doing was correcting a false statement you made about children never eating tide pods. Because they surely did.

Title of your link:

Do I get a cookie?

Doesn't help if you're a streamer, though. I guess that was a part I left out, whoops -_-

Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?

Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.

Ngl my partner put a dishwasher pod on the counter the other day and I genuinely thought it was candy for an uncomfortably long second or so.
