Nyx. Her children are all the personifications of various negative aspects of life. I‘ve got a bit of a pessimistic attitude. Just seems fitting.

I‘m sorry but..girlboss and hustle culture? I only remember "YOLO" and "treat yourself" financial habits. Do I have to turn in my millenial membership card somewhere now?

These types of protest happen in my country quite often and the worst I have heard the cops do is carry them away in purposefully painful ways or give full cavity searches after arresting.

The sound of dogs barking. If I liked that, I‘d be so happy every single day. I‘d wake up and go to sleep to a sound I enjoy. As it is, I will have to move and rent is even more expensive now, just depressing.

From my daily 7,5h I‘d say about 3h of meetings and 2h of work

In my city something similar is going on, three homeless people have already been stabbed while sleeping at night. I honestly don‘t understand the depravity humans get up to.

The only artist I would personally get excited about if someone foreign knew of them is the author Thomas Bernhard (Austria), but he was famous and infamous for hating Austrian culture and it wouldn‘t go over well with many others here I suppose.
So I posit some more widely liked people: Mozart, Falco or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Reading books. I enjoy it so much because it distracts me from depression, but depending on the book, it also can be enlightening in some ways and doesn‘t require me to really do much or go anywhere.

Thank you a lot for sharing! Since he’s the guy who coined Enshittification, I‘m curious to read what his solutions would be in more detail.

That feels like a musical chairs approach to this issue, where people who find a good job are lucky and sit in that and the rest shuffle between the shitty job leftovers. I recently found a decent job and it‘s only cause the guy retired after 30 years. Now I can only hope they will keep me on, or else I get to participate in that awful game again. Or maybe it will turn shitty for some other reason, like how there is no raises and my rent keeps going up anyway.
We even got unions in my country, and still we ended up like this where a lot of people switch jobs every few years to try and keep up with inflation. I’m not saying don’t take that step though. Sorry, I got no point I think? Just a rant your comment inspired in me.
I thought this might be of interest to people who fancy reading, cause it‘s what gave me more of an explanation of antiwork than news or image posts to the subreddit did. It‘s got loads of interesting texts on there including Bullshit Jobs by Graeber, an amazing read for anyone who has found themselves in an "easy" job where what is expected is mainly to look busy or fulfil some inane function whose use to society isn‘t clear. A job like this once made me miserable and this book changed my perspective from me being wrong, to the job being wrong. Or Bob Black,The Abolition of Work, which has some paragraphs that solidified my idea of how a society without exploitation could look like. It‘s also got interesting takes on life like How to Drop Out, an updated version of it anyway, which despite the title felt more like an important advice from future me, about what options I have and what to consider carefully about how I want to live my life. It already freed me of 10h of work a week by realising I don‘t need as much money as I think I do. Other useful tags for me was nihilism, something I struggled with, but ultimately led me to absurdism and The Myth of Sisyphus, a complicated read which changed my life to feel a bit brighter. There is more, it‘s one of my favourite resources on the internet, with shadow libraries with endless free entertainment being a close second.

Finanzminister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) hat mit seiner Aussage von Dienstag, wonach die hohen Lohnabschlüsse Grund für die im EU-Vergleich hohe Inflation in Österreich seien, auch am Mittwoch für Wirbel gesorgt. Kritik kam vom Koalitionspartner Grüne ebenso wie von SPÖ, FPÖ und der GPA. Brunner lenkte indes ein.

Concerning the current debate on Meta, I‘m a bit concerned over where I should make my home. I don‘t want corporations to intrude and ruin my just newly found space of freedom. They would just offer "help" and then centralise and privatise and infest it with ads, data collection and profit motive. I need to search for the right instance to combat that. The place is huge though and I don‘t know where to start my search, I don‘t even know the stance of the kbin admin yet. So I come to you good people to ask if you can recommend any instance where the owner has made public a strong and clear anti-corporation stance? Edit: In case anyone stumbles on this, I found two promising instances by myself so far: [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/) The r/piracy instance, with the admin saying he is anarchist and piracy being the natural enemy of both corporations and governments, it seems likely to take such stance. [https://slrpnk.net/](https://slrpnk.net/) "Solarpunk" instance, with part of their manifesto reading: > > > Solarpunk wants to counter the scenarios of a dying earth, an insuperable gap between rich and poor, and a society controlled by corporations. Not in hundreds of years, but within reach. > > Much more positive than my doomer brain is used to, but I dig it! A lot!
