I think we all had some boomer who said, “You only sit in front of a computer all day, when are you gonna get a real job? In my times i had to break my back, worked 16 hours a day caring weight, burning my skin in the sun, i was paid in pennies, had to breathe toxic smoke that reduces everybody’s life expectancy, those were the good times when people worked for real”

Like, for them work is being physically exploited to death, or it isn’t a real job.

Fuck those guys, im making a living from my computer and even so im fucking stressed out.

    GenXer here. I stopped listening to elders like that when I was a teen. I just nod and keep doing what I’m doing and it’s lead to a better life.
