You’re gonna run out of space to store all that food if all you’re doing is buying it and no time to eat!

I just plan to spread all the food around my bed and hope that I learn to sleep eat.

Meditate and Work, and read Paul Graham essays, invest in crypto, and find untapped markets in your local culture that you can corner and serve up to your betters so that you can rise up the social ladder.

I think we should get better at budgeting our work time.

It may sound daunting at first but when you want to work eight hours, first think : “can I afford this eight hours of work? Shouldn’t I rather be playing Monster Hunter?” and take good habits from there.

Maybe in the beginning try working 5 or 6 hours. Don’t rush it, but keep your determination.

You’ll slowly begin to perceive more opportunities as you grow in focus : “Instead of working another hour for my boss, I’ll write my own TTRPG setting or hit that solo queue”.

It’s hard at first but others made it. Why wouldn’t you?

Why are people responding to your post like it’s serious? It couldn’t be more obvious satire if it had a blinking neon sign that said ‘THIS IS SATIRE’ next to it. Sometimes satire needs the ‘/s’, but not when it is super obvious like this.

It is satire, but we wish it wasn’t and are reacting as such.

Indeed, this was supposed to be satire, like you know, the opposite of “budget better” corporate initiative.

Unless you’re pretty advanced in your field, it can be pretty difficult to find a job that is willing to give you work hours on your terms like that.

The privilege you have that allows to think we already have control over punching the clock.

That’s great go do that, what are the hourly workers going to when a reduction to 6 hours is a 25% pay cut on a wage that is about half a century behind inflation… That was before covid and the astronimical rise in cost of living recently

There’s people, a fucking ton of people, because of incredibly shitty wages, that cant buy a dozen eggs without needing to work 2 hours that same reduction you just spoke of is how much they have to work just to afford that

But in the meantime, I can write sarcastic posts for my Lemmy pals during my commute to my 8 hours of work for my boss.

For me that’s sleep. Learn to only sleep a couple hours a night during the work week and you’ll get tons of your time back. You’ll also always feel like crap and fall asleep at your desk when it’s slow. Insomnia is great!

Its even better when you work >10 hour days so sometimes it genuinely is deciding between sleeping and eating when you get home.

I commute to work on foot while meditating.
Buy food on the walk home, and cook it while I socialize with my hoover.
I eat in the shower with my clothes on to avoid laundry, and I get 8 hours of sleep at work.

That way I can squeeze 2 full time jobs into one day and don’t need a car, so I can afford to pay rent.

Wrong: medidate with your hoover for added oneness, socialize with your food so that you can dominate the conversation as you devour it, and do your 10,000 steps at work on your boss’s face.

Dermatologists have confirmed many, many times that a daily shower is unnecessary for healthy skin. Hair experts also don’t recommend a daily shampoo for most people.

That said… it can be hard to tell when you stink (olfactory saturation / incrementalism)… so I don’t actually have a shower schedule recommendation.

No, you misread. They said shower once. Total. Not per day.

You can also wash yourself outside the shower to freshen up. Saves water and is good for your skin.

I wish I could not shower everyday. I barely sweat at all so you’d think I could, but instead my skin and hair get so oily, that I have to take a medication for it. If I don’t take it, the oil builds up on my skin and makes my eyes sting. Sometimes even just after a few hours. :(

But I am careful to not use products in the shower that would strip my hair and skin completely.

Ahh stinging eyes from face grease, how I hate you and having acne at nearly 40.

I always think it’s from my haair initially too. Hey I’ll put my hair up and won’t have to worry about it! ow ow ow ow ow eyes ow, wash face. Ahhhhhh.

Still don’t shower daily. Once every 2-3 days is good for me. 4 if I’m lazy.

Use antiperspirant correctly and if you have a sedentary lifestyle, it’s an easy game unless you giant, fat, and sweaty. Usually have to be combo of 2 unless your parents rolled the genetic snake eyes and you get scumbag genetics.

Neat, same thing happens to me but didn’t know there was a treatment available! What medication is it?

Spironolactone. Talk to your dermatologist. It’s mainly prescribed for hypertension, but it works really well for this too. It’s the first treatment I was prescribed that really helped. It’s also used to treat baldness.

Check the side effects though. It isn’t often prescribed to men because it could cause undesirable side effects such as lowering testosterone and increasing breast tissue growth.

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you’re not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn’t for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren’t into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I’m Sadboi extraordinaire we’ll see when that will be.
