Experiencing once in a lifetime events should have you riddled with guilt because you're not putting in your 8 hours. If you want to look at a bright light, look at your fucking monitor, you have 3 Teams meetings before noon.
Antiwork
A community for those who want to end work, are curious about ending work, want to get the most out of a work-free life, want more information on anti-work ideas and want personal help with their own jobs/work-related struggles.

Server status for big servers http://lemmy-status.org/
Don’t worry, I made it up during one of the first 16 weeks of 2024 that has already passed via my off hours while I wfh. I was just now getting to my break.
And on the flip side, it apparently pulled in 6 billion in revenue thru people traveling to see it.
i continued working but still made minimum wage
Who exactly in America did it cost that? 🤔🤔
And it's not like "costing" means they pay out any money, and $700 million is a drop in the ocean of billions if not trillions the economy churns over daily, so it's more of just the same - privatise profits, socialise losses, and blame the victim as a bonus just for shits and giggles..
Yeah that's what I was thinking, it's a fraction of a percent of musk net worth. And like his net worth, those 700 million are theoretical. Weird journalism honestly.
Also, those people being out and traveling is stimulating the market by the extra money they're spending.
The critique that it's ridiculous to be thinking about this in these terms is correct and primary.
But even if you take it on its own terms, this is almost certainly false. People who experience the eclipse are likely to have a boost in productivity when they do get back to work, and the travel generated a ton of economic activity. Plus optometrists will likely see a huge boost.
I think the last one is a broken window parable type deal. Either that or the secret to saving the economy is poking people's eyes.
I didn't do a great job communicating it, but I was joking with that last bit.
Oh it came across, don't worry.
Working at an eye clinic, I'm pleasantly surprised we haven't taken hundreds of calls about photokeratitis or solar retinopathy. My city has a major university, though, so our populace is generally well-educated.
They'll catch up before the deadlines anyway. It's not like everyone is working at an assembly line having to churn out money constantly while they work.
Hey NBC News, fuck you!
You can't lose what you don't have.
