More people should have jobs but nobody should be working more than 20 hours a week. People should be encouraged to find hobbies and spend their time with loved ones and doing things that make you happy.

I know this but a lot of people on the shroomery seem to be "hard workers" and somewhat proud of their jobs. But I guess even shroomerites hate fucking work.

I'm a "hard worker" because I have to be in the current situation I'm in.
But humans weren't built for the 40+ hr week, 8+ hour workday, fixed work schedule, one-schedule-fits-all BS that is the American "contributing member to society".

I think anyone could handle 40 hours if
1) they get used to it, it will seem alien at first
2) they are mentally stimulated by the work
When I was 19 I worked some construction with my step brother, once I got in the habit of a job it became my new normal, we worked usually from 9am to 6pm, usually a week on a specific job and then a few days off before the next job
Now if you plopped me into a 40hr work week and I had to work on my feet, I would be absolutely exhausted, I go out and metal detect for 3-5 hours at a time and my feet hurt and are tired after

My current job is the first time I've ever been on salary. In theory it's 40 hours a week but the fact that I can finish earlier if I work faster is what keeps me motivated. That and most of my coworkers are fun to hang out with and think the same way. The other full timers anyway.
I feel like you have to be "lazy" in a sense to work fast. It forces you to think in terms of economizing effort

Some say it's often lazy people who figure out ways to improve efficiency, so they spend less time and exert less effort to get the job done. There might be some truth to that.
For most of my salary jobs there was no discreet amount of work that if I finished early, there was no more work to do, and I could relax or go home. Except for my paper route as a teen. If a crew kicks butt and finishes framing a house early, that might result in some down time or going home early. As an adult, I've never had a job like that. I've only had jobs where once a task is complete, you move on to the next task. I've had a dozen salary jobs and I tend to prefer an hourly wage. I've been taken advantage of.
When I was younger certain coworkers would sometimes tell me to slow down and not work so hard.
"Chill out. The work will still be here tomorrow."

The part timers at my work are hourly so they're incentivized more to take it easy and stretch things out to maximize hours. There is a finite amount of work to be done per day due to hard limits on production capacity (sterilizer/flowhood space). Later it may work out to a shittier deal when things are not bottlenecked in the same way.
I've done a few jobs that were piecework (like tree planting) and it worked out to be pretty similar to this. Your effective hourly rate is limited only by how fast you can work while maintaining quality standards. Except with tree planting you're working longer and there is no direct bound on the amount of money you can make per day.
The ultimate in laziness is to automate away all the physical work so that people can focus on the arts or whatever. It's a weird development that the arts are being automated earlier than a lot of the grunt work though

Is it being "lazy" or being "efficient"? Just because you're efficient doesn't make you lazy.

Lazy is being unwilling to do something.
Being efficient is doing something while saving the most time/energy as possible.

Dress codes do effect me. My work keeps bitching at me because I refuse to spend my money on scrub pants for a god damn massage spa. The boomer owner thinks scrubs "look professional" but they don't stretch and I fucking hate polyester. They feel like sandpaper on my skin. It's too restrictive. I would prefer to wear the black loose fitting stretchy pants that I've always worn for literally every other spa job I've had in the last 10 years.
Scrubs are literally only designed for hospital, doctor's offices, dentist's offices or any other job where you come in contact with bodily fluids. The fabric prevents fluids from breaking their adhesive layer so instead of absorbing into the fabric they just ball up and roll to the ground. They're not designed to be worn by people who need to MOVE THEIR LEGS into different positions like lunges and plies who don't come in contact with bodily fluids. They forced us to wear scrubs for massage school and I FUCKING HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, dress codes totally don't affect me, sarcasm.
I'm not spending $50 on a pair of fucking pants when I already have several pants that work just as god damn good as any other pair of pants.
I wear scrubs at one of my jobs, you can get a pair with spandex that stretch on Amazon for a few dollars. Also, very few scrubs are fluid repellent, I have stained many over the years. If the owner says do it, common sense says do if you like your job. Are you insecure about your outfit or something? Women love men in scrubs because it gives off a perception of being educated.

I don't like the way unnatural fibers (SPANDEX and polyester) feel on my skin. It feels like sandpaper.

OK I have a couple that are kind of controversial.
I think poachers should be executed. Or just shot on sight.
I think that abusing your animals. Once It gets to a certain point you should have to serve jail time.
I donât think anyone should fish out of the ocean for the next 20 years.
Nobody should be breaking ground on anything. There should be no more mines or any drilling of any kind.
We need to cause all of the businesses around the world to pay for what theyâve done to all of the people that they fucked. So we need to make some serious government changes.
Billionaire should not exist. After you get past a certain amount of wealth, it should just be almost impossible to keep because of how much more taxes you have to pay.
Related to that you should only be able to own a maximum of three properties. Even that seems really generous. But there are people that own 11 properties right now. That should be illegal.
All drugs should be legalized. Wow look at that. I just ended the entire drug war. Cartels no longer exist. Imagine thatâŠ
Everyone on earth should pay 9% taxes. If everyone paid 9%, including all of the fuckheads that arenât paying any. The world would be infinitely better.
Every government on earth needs to give a slight percentage of their gross annual income. Like 5%. So poor countries wouldnât have to pay as much as the people actually making the problem. Then we should use that money to just fix the giant garbage patch in the ocean. We could also use that money for emergency aid relief.

Actually, the cartels are running most of the bigger dispensaries in california. Nobody knows about this but it's true. Cartels will exist because they have the most money and they had the most money FIRST to begin with.

Not so controversial in any left circle. Your heart is in the right place but all of your points are pretty elementary and fall apart under scrutiny pretty fast.

This exists.

This would upheave entire industries around the world from major fishing to local restaurants. A much smarter idea would be to regulate and initiate plans to make fishing sustainable, for example.

Similar example to above
Quote:

By doing what?

I agree about billionaires. However they already get around taxes, and they will find more loopholes if we "raise taxes". We can redistribute wealth in other ways like enforcing higher minimum wages and stronger social programs.

Setting a hard limit is complicated. I'm inclined to agree but I think the better angle is to remove the incentive for housing units to be portfolio investments. I have no issue with a rich dude having 11 houses, I have a problem with mega corps buying up thousands of houses and renting them out forever. Anyways

You had me in the first half, agree there. Second half is a little naĂŻve, they would still traffic drugs and humans.

What? To who? Why? For what? Infinitely how? Who decides how it's spent?

Laughs. Uncontrollably. That was just *chefs kiss*
Brilliant.
Unpopular opinion: quit making straw men out of multinational energy companies, manufacturers and all round âbig pollutersâ whilst youâre using a laptop or iPhone and driving a car and growing your mushrooms in plastic tubs and enjoying the copper pipes that carry your hot water and watching a television.
Look no further than in the mirror for your climate villain. The melter of glaciers, the ruiner of oceansâit is YOU. Those companies did not come to pass on supply to a public without demand, whether fifty years ago or twenty or two. They kept pumping out what you said you needed and wanted. Sometimes they told you you wanted it and hey presto! Itâs time for version 11XSF#2.0 For all of the internet thunbergs and even embodied voters marching on rubberised soles and using synthetic threads in their clothing, who kept their food refrigerated and, I see just another blind mob, stirred to rally at something else for the cause of its own problems.
To me this is the hard edge few want to navigate or accept when it comes to the climate issue. We made the world small, we tamed it, grew fat and plentiful on it, now weâre terrified that our actions might upset the cosy thing weâve had in the holocene, and rather than take a sober look at our entire fucking lives, we say âfuck those oil companies! Omg the petrochemical people are evil!!!â
Who. Is. Using. Their. Stuff?
You want to see whoâs responsible for this shit? Take a fucking selfie.
