real talk, what’s the easiest way to put the watermark on my memes? Preferably in MS Paint, as gods intended.

Yep. My folks are still processing the concept of an employer saying “nah, I’m good.”

I forgot where, but there was a second thought video that explained that despite what numbers claim, there is simply more unemployed and underemployed people than jobs.

Because Capitalism depends on a labor surplus. It’s easy to pay people for less than they’re worth when you have an army of potential scabs at your disposal.

Agreed. I have no idea how to explain the concept of ‘reserve army of labor’ to people who still think porky will grow his business and hire more workers upon success.

Ah dude I miss my early 20s, studio apartment in an east coast city life. I would just like get high, bike to a park, sneakily drink in public, go to the art museum cross faded, then get tacos and then go home and sext somebody I meet on Tinder.

I really miss my youthful public substance abuse and recreational sex life, but alas I’m in my 30s now.

Eh not when it starts catching up to you. I’m borderline teetotaler right now because it was starting to mess up my health.

Mood but why would anyone post a video of this and why does it have +1M views?

i swear most of these types of videos are just for cozy nostalgia.

at a darker level everyone is so disabled and unable to afford to enjoy things this is the only way you can reasonably do it now

This is jacobfuckingjones and if I had to describe his series of videos about drinking and smoking in public on a weekday afternoon I’d say it’s sort of a post-ironic thing. It’s very clear there’s like a wink in there, but OTOH it’s just a guy basically vlogging and giving a cigarette review (latter which he takes very seriously, dudes’s god’s strongest cigarette connoisseur basically).

It’s kind of entertaining, truth be told.

For this because there’s a black background you just copy the hexbear logo and paste it into Paint and drag it into place. If you were doing something where you didn’t want the rectangular background to show up you’d need to use an editor like Gimp that recognizes erased backgrounds.
