This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

A rare W for Europe (lemmygrad.ml)

I have no idea if this is a true story, but i definitely hope it is. Unfortunately, as with most American cultural products, eventually Europe starts to import them (as we did with American culture war bullshit), and this toxic "hustle culture" is now slowly also becoming more normalized in some places in Europe, particularly in Germany. It's definitely not the norm as it is in the US, and for the time being we still have laws against it (though with Blackrock Merz in charge who knows for how long...), but i am seeing signs of it popping up more and more.

Yep, I'm American and I feel bad for myself as well. I've head to deal with non-stop bullshit such as Temp agencies outright refusing to even tell you the place you will be working right up until they send you in. Expecting to get benefits anywhere is a joke, the health insurance "benefits" provided in the places I've worked were just regular insurance you have to massively pay out of pocket for like any other, yet they still present it as a benefit. I could on and on but yeah.
