Some kinda lab work, maybe blood chem or urinalysis. I should clarify that since I’m a software person I don’t even know what they do, really, I just fix it when they stop transmitting lab test results to the database.

I fix software on these things! No one ever quite gets what I do for work, it’s nice to run across in the wild.
I feel seen lol

- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
Same- all threats, don’t know anyone actually being garnished.
When my choice was pay loans or eat, i ate, and i sure af am not going to call someone and offer them money just because it got slightly better a couple years later. Ive never owned a new couch, i am not well off.
If debtors prisons come back, I’m fucked, but until then, frankly, what can they do? I can’t afford a house or kids either way, and i am not throwing away anything on interest that will only grow and stress me out.
I have no idea what i must owe now, over triple my salary, min.
They sold a for-profit bullshit degree.
Fuck em

My parent encouraged me to take out loans including housing, then charged me rent from it lol
Not all parents are helpful

You’re right. Im late 30s, took out tons of loans at 17yo, and my dad swindled me out of anything that didnt go directly to tuition.
I stopped paying a decade ago, keep waiting for my checks to be garnished, but hasn’t happened yet.
I don’t use credit, im financially not an adult in many ways, but i kept waaaaay more of my money than anyone else i know.

- Comment on Doing nothing is a mandatory biological function. 6 months ago:
Yeah i had that realization when i lost my job and actually caught up on sleep- if i get at least nine hours of good sleep a night, all the time, and don’t live in constant burnout, i have almost no symptoms.
I’m sick from trying to live up to their standards. I’m just a sleepy critter, not a broken person ffs.
- Comment on Doing nothing is a mandatory biological function. 6 months ago:
When people around me complain about being worn out, i cheerfully remind them that we’re about the only critters that don’t just fucking REST when we’re TIRED.
Why the FUCK is it normal to down stimulants ‘like an adult’ instead of napping?
I’m narcoleptic, and I’ve been defending my need for sleep my whole life- but mostly, its me reminding people that I nap when my body feels fatigued, like every other mammal I’m aware of, and perhaps I’m not the unusual one.

How bout this-
Tell us something to be happy about that isn’t being profitized or enshittified. Did the older generations get that?
