it only gets better if you make it better. Organize a union at your workplace
Really didn’t expect that direction in the second half 👍🏻
I like giving real solutions to these kinds of problems :)
What kind of degenerate sleeps without the head of their bed up against a wall?
People who have had bedbugs. Old habits die hard.
Say what?
When you get bedbugs and want to prevent them from getting on your bed (after treatment, say) you pull your bed away from the wall, thus limiting the surfaces they can transfer from. If you also put your bedposts in interceptor traps you’re pretty safe from them. They’ll get stuck in the traps and be unable to get out.
Source: had to deal with the bastards for a year because of a useless landlord and incompetent exterminator. Got really, really good at pest management.
TIL
Ha, stupid bedbugs. A trap like that would probably never fool me!
I’m lazy, I just nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
I heard that they can climb to the ceiling and drop down. Not sure how true it is, but helps to enforce how nightmarish they are, like they are some sort of unstoppable entity.
I’ve heard that too, but it seems pretty unlikely and I never experienced it when I had bedbugs. Plus it would have to be a pregnant(?) bedbug to continue to spread the infestation, otherwise the rare one that dropped on the bed would be stuck there and eventually die…
I dunno if they’re quite that smart. If they are, they didn’t do that when I had them.
Right, but in that case you could get a frame with a headboard.
A headboard touching the ground just invites them in. If the headboard is removable, remove it temporarily.
They are mounted to the same frame you said you put on the trap stands.
Yes, but some are removable. If you can’t remove it you’re pretty much screwed - good luck getting a headboard inside of an interceptor trap. Just the bedposts, wheels, or whatever the frame has go into the traps. Basically you need to limit the access they have from wherever they’re hiding to your bed.
This guy exterminates.
I’m in the bed in the middle of my room gang, never had bed bugs.
But then Monsters can attack you from any angle - Bed in the corner gang sleeping back to the wall.
Lol, I’ll even wake up sleeping with my back to the door – no fear.
Wtf next thing you’re going to say you sleep with your arm hanging off the side of the bed or your feet sticking over the edge. I’m surprised you’re still alive.
“Ain’t no Leggrabber gonna git me!”
I’ve only woken up like that a few dozen times in my life.
What a mad lad. Is it possible to learn this power?
I guess just move your bed to the middle of the room and wait until you get used to it. I’m not sure about the subconscious/sleeping part… Maybe it’ll just happen naturally over time?
Absolutely diabolical
Maybe they have problems with night sweats

Me. I don’t need my bed clapping against the wall alerting my incredibly nosy neighbors to my evening activities.
What’chu know about what goes on in my butt?
Suck dick for a living. Much more free time.
I prefer to be choosy about the dicks I suck
Ok then no more gaming for you mr. wontsuckdickformoney
That’s Ms Sucksthechoicestdicksforcashonly to you
Not what I heard
😘
I can’t really be bothered to do my own marketing and STD vetting.
Get a pimp
Amazon sell those?
Hah they still actually look forward to playing the game, instead of just playing it to fill the time.
I buy them to pretend I’m happy. Not that I have time to be happy.
Stay up longer. Wake up tired. Do your job really half-assed all day. Let your employer have the worse you.
Did this while younger, it can work for some time but don’t underestimate the consequences to your health from not getting enough sleep.
How much younger are we talkin? Asking cause I’m getting older and wanna know when that’s gonna tell life to kick me in the nuts
About late 30s it kicked in for me
Get up at 6. Work will 6. 1hr to make dinner. 2 hrs awake with wife. Go to bed at 9. Wake up at 530 and cry for 30 min.
Rerpeat adinfinium until i finally die. This is no way to live.
This is no way to live.
I wonder what would happen if everyone who felt this way all at once just decided to stop. All at once, everyone turns around and goes home. How many people would it be? Half? 3/4? Most of them?
We almost got to experience a change when Covid hit, the only bright spot, but it was soon eclipsed by corporate buzzwords and inspirational music montages on powerpoint telling us how happy we are to return to offices and ten hours of driving and 1/8 of our paycheck on gas every goddamn week so we can sit in a visible place while we waste time reading emails that don’t pertain to us and attending meetings about initiatives that are meant only to make the shareholders think we’re doing something.
Shareholders who attend the meetings via Zoom at that.

I’m working towards just this, not a tent necessarily but a very small house/shack, gonna get some dogs and chickens and probably work at a local grocery or do art until I die.
I am not making much progress. I wonder who tf is buying houses.
You could afford to work part time remotely
If you’re a professional that even has that option. Factory workers and blue collar schmucks like myself are chained to a radius around available work :(
Find me land for $8k within reasonable distance of an area with tech jobs please.
Do his jeans have little jean booties attached to them?
Jooties!
No but it does get worse after you have kids. Ah who am I kidding, this is a greentext post.
But then you get kids. Definitely better than video games.
Yep I got one and videogames aren’t even in my radar. I don’t even have a gaming computer anymore
Father of 3 kids under 6, I still play an hour or so a day, some weekends I get a night to play with friends.
And I have time for work in commercial electrician. Come home to work on my garden, chickens, greenhouse, and hang with the kids and family.
Going to be doing my own solar in the next week or two. Tonight going to a mtg mh3 event with a friend to play some magic.
All weekend to chill with my children, wife, and enjoy some parks. Once kids are asleep I’ll watch a movie with my wife.
Life is good. Time for everything.
Are you guys dual income though? How do you have time to keep your home clean? I don’t even have kids but with full time work I struggle.
This is 100% truth.
When you’re young, you have a lot of free time and no money to enjoy that time
When you get into a career, you have money, and no time.
When you retire, you have money and time (to some extent), but you’re old and likely not able to enjoy things nearly as much as you would have been able to when you were younger (generally due to body aches and whatnot).
Being middle/lower “class”, you’re basically fucked.
Narrator: No, it doesn’t.
He only has two hours after work before he has to go to sleep? That’s like a 70 hour work week!
I mean you still have to get home first, then probably cook and eat something, shower, etc.
All of that takes time as wellI have about 3h of gaming after work during the week. So the meme is pretty accurate about this part. But I also have free weekends, enough vacation time and a job that doesn’t drain much energy. So I’m fine currently.
Can confirm. I am currently in the meme.
At my last job I had barelly 30 mins if lucky, used to work for almost 80 hours a week and at tikes worked up to 12 days straight with no days off.
All for a barelly 800 euro pay.
Oh, man, that’s rough. How is such a thing even legal?
Live in a shithole and everything is legal
He should sell his instant work-teleportation device for money instead of working
It’s easy! Just take 100% of your free time and throw it away on a far-off dream so you’re completely exhausted. Go into debt trying to get a fancy degree to maybe increase your earning potential.
More seriously, if you feel you’re in the same position:
If you’re privileged enough and have the willpower, you might be able to find a happier work environment (though it requires sacrificing your already meager free time by searching for jobs constantly for 6-12 months or more). I know folks for whom that’s paid off - very impressed with them. May also be some online courses or community colleges around that could open doors.If your situation is impossible, I’m sorry. I feel for you.
Fucking pathetic. I hope you don’t actually feel this way, mindset is literally the biggest obstacle.
Feel what way?
I am privileged and happy. I do believe folks who are not happy should consider investing their time understanding other potential available opportunities including work, training, and higher education.
Obviously a, say, severely disabled person whose paycheck is captured by their abusive partner cannot apply my advice, so in that nearly impossible situation I sympathize.
No, it gets much worse.
Wait until he goes without work or videogames for a while.
I mean if anything, surely that justifies their claim of wage slavery even more no?
Indeed, and I’m not saying his pain doesn’t exist, but I am making it very clear that it can be much much worse.
I mean it helps if you don’t completely hate your job.
Easier said than done
Yes, but maybe worth prioritizing in your career.
Trust me, i would LOVE to enjoy my 10 hour manual labor workday at the only employer that pays that well in a 50 mile radius, but call me cynical, I find it quite difficult
Can you consider moving to a better place? I understand you might have things going you down but it’s good to evaluate your options
Yeah Ive thought about it, that’s not something I can even consider though until I wipe out some debts and save up
This is the kind of thing that’s easy to say but hard to do
