Just an example, take caring for my kids or decorating my house or even working out if you don't like that one. What do you mean by "the other direction"?

I'm sorry, I don't understand. You listed child care, and hobbies. What havr those to do with work?

The other direction being this antiwork thing which is highly unrealistic and in reality just a bunch of lazy guys complain about having to actually do work, like everyone else, thinking that somehow magically the world would be so much better if everyone dat on their fat ass

OK so you're just here to strawman and insult. Thanks for outing yourself.

No I said what my average experience here in this sub was, relating to the original post. Yeah, most people here quite literally simply don't want to work, and somehow think that goods and resources come into existence magically or something. So yes, I call them lazy because that's what they are.

If you want to have a serious discussion about work situations needing to improve I'm all for it. I just don't want to have another discussion about "my vegetable garden will sustain me, the entire world should do this"

Also, I quite literally did not understand what you wrote as you listed childcare and hobbies
