    Appropriately enough, this guy looks like he's about one missed deadline at work away from throwing himself off the bridge but has to smile so that his workplace's smartlock face scanner opens the front door.

      Please and unironically, if you are at this point, consider who put you there and do something about it. Getting angry is an option.

        I am OK myself but that's very good advice in general. Apologies as on reflection my post was probably in rather bad taste. Probably a better way to word the weird disconnect here.

    Hey WEF, that sounds pretty cool. I could be happy with few possessions so long as I have strong material security. What's that? No, I don't get to have that material security part? Ah, shit....

    After reading the comments, I have come to this conclusion.

    Dumb dumb conservatives: "Marxism is when the capitalist class owns everything; and the more of everything they own, the more marxist it is."

    These people are looking at the conclusion of the system they worship, they recoil in disgust, they howl at the injustice if it; and they don't even realize it.

      I've legit read takes, in either forbes or the economist, I forget which, that argue that happiness is overrated, not because of anything philosophical (I for one prefer contentment if I'm willing to get into semantics) but because people on antidepressants work harder than those who don't need them.

          Genuinely curious about that kind of lifestyle. I do have a question about it if you're willing to answer. What do you do as far as having a "permanent address" for things like your drivers license, credit cards, things of that nature? Mail is pretty archaic, but sometimes you do need a mailing address for shit, haha.

    Instead of private property they're abolishing personal property while boosting private property rights. This world is hell
