This is literally a conversation I have had with a specific friend several times this year.

Damn, sounds like you've been pretty busy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

So busy, man!

The insatiable greed of the ultra-wealthy has dictated that I spend most of my adult life toiling away for their gain which means I no longer have time for things like socialising, after using what little free time I have for life admin.

No, actaully, its really good and I love it. Its my favourite!

In my case I am doing it to myself with my lack of self control and chasing money and lifestyle inflation, thank you very much.

I see you've met my company's workhorse.

This is what I say to people I want to maintain a loose relationship with without having to explain why I never want to hang out with or call them.

Man, it's almost like there's some reason to keep us all busy and physically exhausted from work, too tired and out of time to pay attention to the evils of the ruling class

Wouldn't that be a silly idea?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, but mostly it's just greed. They'd gladly reintroduce slavery if they could get away with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I agree. I don't think there some deeper evil or complicated agenda at play here, it's just the same standard boring greed that has been ruining humanity since the beginning. The worst of us will always take and take and take all they can unless the rest of us force them to share.

Are you guys not taking frequent naps at work?

Hush, don't spoil it.

I mean "so busy holy shit" with a kid + work + appointments + chores + a little room for alone time is a pretty good summary isn't it?
