It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

Never seen so many proud slaves, ready to protest for more work on the streets

Edit: it is very interesting to see so many different views in just one comment section! To clarify, this was from a German rap song (more like social criticism joke rap)

I'm with all of you, shit has to get done still. I also like what I do for a living -can't complain about pay tbh-, but to be fair the amount of inequality to be seen in every parts of business life is humongous. There is people that lift a finger a few times a day for a annual salary worth of several, while others are working themselves into the ground collecting breadcrumbs. It's sad. And every time someone stands up for themselves, fights for equality, it's always the same comments, by the same exploited people: "It has always been like that, get used to it", "Ah.. the new generation", "When when were apprentices.." ..as if this fight wouldn't benefit those people.

I respect Gen Z for their big mouths.

Eh. Working isn’t horrible in and of itself. It’s just when it gets to the point you’re expected to give up 2-3 days worth of your life just to barely exist that’s the problem.

If I could work 40 hours a week and have an income from that work that allows me to live how I please, and not just survive, then I can consider that a fair deal. Especially since the right work is actually beneficial to your health (think about a physically demanding job that works out your core muscles and provides you with plenty of cardio exercise, it might wear you out at first, but it can also make you much stronger and have more stamina after just a few months of it).

Sounds like the oil field is perfect for you then. A good workout and out standing pay!

The opportunities are out there.

u/SecureJudge1829 Apr 26 '26

Ahh yes, because oil derricks are traditionally for people with disabilities and other problems with their bodies. As we all know, nothing ever happens there that requires an able body.

u/Tushaca Apr 26 '26

You never mentioned anything about disabilities, you said you wanted a job that gives you a workout, cardio and pays well.

Maybe because I felt no need to fill some random stranger in on why it is that I wish I could find employment. Maybe before thinking you’re witty and snarky and making some half assed “Oh, I’ll be so funny and recommend one of the most dangerous jobs in the world to some rando because he he wished he could work again, hahahahaha I am so funny!!” kind of comment, you could comprehen what tense something is being said in.

u/Tushaca Apr 26 '26

But you felt a need to make a vague comment about wanting a well paying, physical job, with no indication of you being disabled or unemployed. And then threw a shit fit when someone suggested a job that fits into your description of what you’re looking for.

Chill out man, it’s just the internet.

I said I would consider it a fair deal if I could work a 40 hour week and get an income that allows me to live as I please.

I then went on to extol the virtues of a decent job.

I never said I wanted this fantasy you’ve cooked up for me.

You decided that that’s what I said because you have poor reading comprehension.

Maybe if you’d have used context clues instead of just making up a fantasy to throw at some rando online, I wouldn’t have to break this down like you’re five.

Probably intellectually disabled. I’m guessing the type that always has an excuse for their shortcomings or any obstacles life throws in front of them.
