Casual Conversation

3891 readers
39 users here now

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

@casualconversation if there's a dearth of jobs in the market, then that's the market's problem.

The human being shall always find plenty of work to do so long as he works for his own satisfaction and not for money.

Your thoughts on this please 😊😊😊

I am all for that, but at some point you need to pay the rent and eat, and you can't buy food with satisfaction.

I try not to buy food in general. There's so much extra food floating around we'd have to throw it away if we couldn't give it away. And getting involved in your local mutual support network, helping it grow, gathering items and food that would otherwise go to waste and seeing it instead go to those who can use it, those who need it, is great for the ol' satisfaction.
