merdaverseWhat we get upset about
atomicbocksI don’t know a single person who is more upset about gas prices than the victims of this, and I live in an oil state. Yet I keep seeing memes like this, I can’t help but think there is some “America bad” going on here.
Ecco the dolphinAll I hear at work is complaints about the gas prices.
When coworkers or customers bring up the topic, I point out the school we bombed. Everyone agrees its evil. I wonder if complaining about gas prices is just the professional way to complain about the “war” in Iran. I probably missed that little social cue. I hope that’s the case; that most people are self-censoring and not just completely selfish.
But, have we Americans become such cowards we can’t just openly talk about how fucked it is? It feels like it.
SchmooThe workplace is an unnatural environment that causes people to behave in a very unnatural manner. It is so laden with taboos that a distinct ‘corporate’ dialect emerged that is made up almost entirely of euphemisms. That we collectively spend half or more of our waking lives in this setting fucks with us psychologically.
