Yes, I think we should already be at a 4 day work week for many jobs. If you look at productivity and efficiency growth since the 40 hour work week was invented, it’s off the charts.

However, that’s one of the problems with unbridled capitalism. The market demands constant growth, which is hard to sustain and doesn’t reward easing up on employees.

I don’t think the US needs to go full socialist (mostly because I think it’s impossible and as you said, still corruptible), but we need to lean more towards socialism to start clawing our way back to having a middle class. If we could get affordable universal healthcare and affordable colleges, I would be beyond thrilled. Even though these are things that many, many other countries have had for a long time.

I think a universal basic income would also make a ton of sense, as we potentially enter the era of AI taking over a lot of our jobs. At some point, hopefully we become so efficient at “work” that we can use UBI to help people survive who want to do something outside the usual 9-5 (or who have been automated out of their job).

In your example though, you said “when people [ask] me if I’m a boy or a girl…”, so it’s possible the above poster figured you were being asked that by a cis hetero person (since, as you point out, you’re unlikely to be asked that by a queer person). In that case, odds go up that the attack helicopter grossness might apply.

I’m extra glad now that I don’t eat pork.

Going to download some of these! I can’t wait to hear Face Jam’s take on Starbucks’ Oleato, lol

Is f**kface the kind of podcast where you need to start at the beginning to get all the jokes? Or can you drop in anywhere?

I haven’t heard of these, will look into them! And also tell my partner about the first one, as they’re also developing a game :)

Downloading Scamanda right now! I’ve never heard of this but I’m already invested

I loved that one!! So, so funny. I especially enjoyed when they interrogated their male friend that had hung out in the women’s bathroom for several hours haha

Such a great book. I definitely recommend everyone read it!
