Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

My doctor told me the best way to heal my back was to take a few weeks off work. She didn't understand why I was laughing my ass off, till I reminded her that most people don't get paid time off. Doctors kinda live on the moon in terms of what the rest of us can get
most people don’t get paid time off
WTF really? I know workers get fucked really bad in the US, but do most people not get time off at all?
You seriously haven’t heard us complaining? Most people get something but a few weeks is unheard of. I think most people I know who even get pto have a little over a week/year between personal and sick days

Some places combine sick time and vacation into “PTO”, others the accrual is so pitiful you’re lucky if you get a week’s worth of time off in a year.
My fiancé’s place of work is both of these things. She got really sick in August and burned through her PTO in a week, then had to go to work despite still being sick
I'm not even American, I'm Canadian. Things are a shit show here too. I didn't get PTO, vacation pay or sick days until I joined a union. So this was before then. I remember my second job was working part time at a hospital for a while, which are run by the government, and I still had no PTO or any sort of protection or benefits.

That's American problem, I suppose. In the UK and even the 3rd world country like mine, we were paid at least 2 weeks off when working full-time.
Sadly I'm Canadian. And we're as fucked as the u.s when it comes to worker rights. Thankfully I'm in a union now
I knew that there wasn't any nationally mandated PTO, but I assumed that most of you had some in your contracts individually or union...FFS America, what are you doing!!!
In NZ we get 4 weeks/year and 10 days sick leave. Most companies have allowance for a couple of mental health days also, some even pay those days.
There is also bereavement leave, of up to 3 days. Parental leave of 26 weeks, your employer has to keep your job open for you to return to after the 26 weeks.
Side note: we are full, don't come here. Actually we get left off maps, and we like it like that.
In Europe I don't think sick days even have a limit, at some point you need to actually prove you are sick and are not just saying it, but as long as you have a doctor sign off on it you can be sick as much as you like.
Often used when people have long-term illnesses or injuries that take a long time to recover from
Those sick days are totally separate from holiday pay. So I can be off for 2 weeks with an infection (with a doctor's note) and then take a week holiday, and they can't say boo.

Oh you sweet sweet summer child. Here in the US we traded unions and labor protection for an extra $20 a week and rugged individualism.
Yeah but without the extra money

Move to a developed country and find out that most people get paid leave.

If you don’t have some anxiety, I’m pretty sure you’re dead inside.
I'm dead inside, when is the anxiety supposed to stop?
That's your problem, you went dead inside because of the anxiety. You should have died inside first.
Jokes aside, I hope you are going to get better!

He's the one they call Dr. Gaslight He's the one that makes ya feel uptight
Read that to the tune of doctor feelgood
As intended
Doc's lying. We all do, some just don't linger on them.
Yeah the important thing is a lot of people don't have depression and/or anxiety regularly
Depression and feeling sad over sad things aren't the same thing. A lot of people who experience depression may not realize that their feelings go beyond just feeling blue sometimes. Really sounds like the doctor is right to raise this as a potential issue.
I hope one day to not have a constant barrage of sad things going on so I can find out if I actually have depression or not.

' "Uncontrollable" feelings of anxiety or depression' isn't normal.
Everyone has had anxiety and/or been depressed before. It's when it doesn't go away shortly after feeling it that it is a real problem.
She wouldn't admit it anyway
My first thought too. "She's lying".
Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up
The doctor was lying
The doctor likely has a private practice, so without the heinous pressure of working in a hospital and all the money that comes from being part of the medical industrial complex, its no wonder the doctor isn't depressed.
Contrary what you may perceive on the internet, most people aren't depressed, not just doctors with their private practices.

She was correct. There are some billionaires that have different mental health issues, but not those.
I'm sorry but you seem to be mistaken.
Billionaires are a different species and we don't have enough research data to refer to in order to determine what mental illnesses, if any, they might have.
Don't lump them in with the rest of humanity because they aren't even people anymore. They are inhuman scum that has mistakenly evolved. A fucking virus. We went out of our way to eradicate smallpox but unfortunately we haven't successfully purged Billionarisim from humanity. I genuinely do not care how that is done. I don't care. They need to be removed from society at all possible costs before they destroy it.
