      8 hours a day of anything is actually insane, i wanted to make a joke about replacing 8 hours of scorlling with an 8 hour shift but u cant even be lazy for that long. we have to organize and lower the shift to 6 hours and maybe even 4

        That’s why America and allies losing their ability to menace other countries will be good. It means socialist states can relax their guard being out of seige and lower their working hours. AI advancement will really help.

        You’ll get used to it. Just apply yourself and work hard. Generally speaking, organizations recognize and advance their talented employees as far as they can keep proving themselves. Yes there are small business tyrant situations but in large orgs, competent people float upwards.

        Aim to get a promotion or diagonal move every 3 years. If it doesn’t happen within 3, start looking elsewhere. Don’t let yourself stagnate as a professional.

        Collect those raises. Get yourself some shiny things. Go on some nice international vacations. And use some of the money to advance leftism in whatever way satisfies you.

        That’s all we can do. Don’t be a perpetual victim, helpless to the whims of chance because you have no money. Earn some damn cash and then walk the walk.

        This is a boiling hot take but you can’t help anyone if you’re the one needing help.
