The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

We all have our tolerance thresholds. Some people can live in a shared apartment with multiple other people, I can not. My health conditions, night terrors, PTSD and a few other things are reasons why I would probably not last long living like that. And I can't burden my elderly parents, they are barely above the poverty line as it is, plus my dad is still working into his 70s just to make ends meet.
But since I live in a place where the official treatment for drug resistant depression is telling you "You're just lazy, go pray and stop wasting the state's resources", there is not much I can do.
Between the apathy and ridicule from people like you, and the manufactured scarcity and famine the people is living, no wonder the suicide rate is steadily rising pretty much everywhere.
Bitch, you don't know my life to say I am not oppressed, and I only covered a couple things, because it is not like you are going to read this and change your mind.
Why are you angry with me, exactly?
Because you obviously have no brain cells or ability to actually comprehend what people are fucking saying lol. Being a programmer is not easy.
I'll spell it the fuck out for you simple enough for a child:
We got told to work hard and they'll get theirs. We worked our assess off. We took shitty jobs where we worked 10+ hours for shitty bosses demanding we do things that literally aren't possible. We worked our way up to the "good" salaries. WE EARNED THAT SHIT.
And then they took it from us. Used every trick they could to squeeze out labor, then they fire us. Have you seen the news lately? Tech companies are laying off people at rates we haven't seen since Covid, if not the 2008 recession.
We have the right to be angry, so stop being a dismissive edgelord.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Seriously dude... if I don't have it the worst in the world I have no right to complain? Neither do you then. Black people and women are oppressed so by your logic nobody else can ever complain about anything.
Entitled dumbass.
Stop feeding the troll, that dumbass proved a while ago what I wanted to see, them moving the goalposts, making an inflamatory comment then a few comments later, pretending that they didn't and they gave a moderate viewpoint.
That dumbass is just looking for the serotonin hit from getting replies.
Have some laughs https://youtu.be/b1QX5erb_p4 , and thank you, comments like yours remind me that I am not insane for feeling the way I do, and remind me that there is still empathy left in the world, you rock.
I never said you don’t have the right to complain. I made a general statement that computer programmers don’t have it as bad as some other types of workers and you came out of the woodwork to scream at me about how much your life sucks, actually.
