Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don't change anything

Just tell us you're trolling without trying to convince people that you aren't.

Seems like everyone from the instance you're posting from, is just a trolling asshole.

I'm not, it's just my childhood is so crazy that it seems like a joke. That family suffered so much when they didn't need to. A relative spent her whole life suffering, and now she died from cancer. The most fun thing she did was play candycrush. That family's mother is worse than I thought.

But honestly, it's so validating that I suffered unnecessarily because of her. I've had the family and everyone say that I was the problem. I was the reason why I was a filthy kid who only showered with water. I was the reason why I had no lunch for school or juice at home. I was the reason why I'd come to school sick and spread the illness around.

They only saw the price tags on my clothes and assumed I chose those clothes. I never liked brand clothes, and if I had the choice, I'd get unbranded stuff and FUCKING BUY BODY WASH AND LUNCH INSTEAD! Like today! Where I NEVER run out of body wash! And I have something to drink all the time now that childhood is over and I CAN WORK! Fuck childhood. Thanks Amazon!

This is a bit too vague for me, but I think some of what you mention sounds like inconvenience now for future convenience. For safety plan example, it's mildly inconvenient for me to get my kit together (I live in an earthquake-heavy area and just outside the tsunami hazard zone), know locations and routes, etc. but you'd best believe that it's better to pay that inconvenience now than flap if I do have to evacuate. I think timescales are important to think of (kinda like the RoI of your actions).

They're fucking stupid as hell. Also there's people that just hate change even if it's in their favor. The rest are pretending to be stupid because they are benifited by the status quo

As a kid in a Catholic family I remember my dad saying God intended man to live "by the sweat of his brow". No idea if it's a bible quote or what, I can just hear him saying it. But I think there's a mentality that life wasn't meant to be fun or easy, and therefore thinking it should be is a wrong thought. Somehow this doesn't make inheriting wealth and living in abject luxury evil or wrong, as long as you still have a work ethic. Or something, I dunno.

I've heard this before, and when I stopped believing in god I vowed that if god had an issue with me having an easy life he can come fist fight me.

Because a human who doesn’t move their body becomes miserable and unhealthy. Zero is not a good level of activity.

The answer is simple. Propaganda. For probably thousands of years, religions have preached that hard work and sacrifice are virtues. They of course only pay off in the next life.

May Christian cults go so far as to believe that your after life is set in stone before you are even born, yet that being happy is evil and you shouldn't do it even if you are not gonna go to heaven for it.

Personally, I find "rough living" a helluva lot easier than the "convenient" world we have built. At least shit makes sense when you have to grow/hunt your own food, build your own shelter, etc. I would prefer to have to do all that, than the kinds of things I have to do in order to eat, have clothing and shelter, etc in society.

Reminds me of the Feng Shui guy on TikTok... "Just fix it!"

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (5 children)

I'd love the easiest possible life
