I fix shit
I can’t say.
I verb nouns
I pull beef
Make missiles hit.
Maybe don’t.
You’d think that would help but it probably means they just send more missiles and hit more random things around the target.
So I either have a bullshit job “I design chips for isosychronous low-latency networks” or a real job “I herd electrons”…
i make websites
Can confirm this works, since fullstack is a real job, but I can’t describe my frontend bullshit in 3 words.
I suck dick
Nice to see you here Mr. President.
Ah, it’s nice to meet another fellow customer service rep.
I am an aquatic resource acquisition specialist leveraging distributed ecosystem monitoring, real-time biological signal analytics, and manual-mechanical retrieval interfaces to optimize biomass extraction.
I write code
(It’s still a bullshit job)
I generate bugs.
Honest.
Is this really the message we want to send?
Yes, our society makes lots of bullshit jobs. That’s because capitalism can only keep people employed by creating bullshit jobs, and unemployed people are six missed meals away from revolution. That is not the fault of the people who have bullshit jobs.
And no, I won’t accept “this is just a shitposting sub, lighten up” as a response. This is just another form of kicking down, and it isn’t funny. The working class needs solidarity, not this.
Yeah I really don’t like the “blue collar good tech bad” undertone here
When I first saw this (maybe years ago), it was posted on sites to mock this thinking.
Yeah, someone believes it to have made this. But yeah, that person sucks.
Agreed, but I refuse to extend that acceptance to most consultants.
I do things
I make art.
^ real job.
I get disability benefit trapping me in dependence on the system under threat of impoverishment, destitution, starvation, freezing, if i dare ever attempt to do anything productive, or even look like it, or even not. Paid to do nothing.
^ real bullshit job.
Oh what a great system you have there. >:[
My job is bullshit, but my job is not who I am.
Same. I don’t work because I like my stupid ass job. I work because I like everything outside my job and some of these things are in dire need of being financed.
