Internet Trends & Young Women's Role Models | Millennial Talk
มุมมอง 3.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Young women, like myself, always want to search for a role model, who we could look up to and who could give us directions in life. However, when we start to turn to social media for inspiration, we face the risks of not knowing what reality actually is. The collapse of traditional values also add on to the problem.

On Money - An Ideological War| Discussing Debt by David Graeber

By investigating what Graeber did say, I laid out what Graeber didn't say in his book Debt: The First 5000 years. From there, a clear line between those who celebrate money (Capitalists) and those who condemn money is drawn. What do they fundamentally believe differently?

Don't forget the "health and safety engineers" which are... cleaners. Necessary for sure, but my goodness did they really need a condescending title like that? Can't we just call them cleaners? Imagine what it does to everyone else when you have to explain what a health and safety engineer is (because no one knows what the hell that means, which is by design), setting high expectations and then to hear that you are a cleaner. I think that puts a bigger dent in your reputation then just saying you keeping the place clean.
Thank you for this video, I learned many new things <3 :)
Blah blah blah blah I think you should save up some money and get a plastic surgery.
I'm Colombian married to Vietnamese man. There are pros and cons. Of course my experience is not the whole general experience but seeing Vietnamese men at work and living with one, I would say, I think they hard workers but coming from a Latin culture I find them too soft and hard to connect emotionally and lazy and selfish. The good thing I guess apparently are more home oriented and family oriented than Latin guys , I see less likelihood to cheat, they are generous. You can't have everything I know my husband has his complains too.
People compensate the emptiness of bullshit jobs with status. So their entire existence consists in obsessing about status, because it's a poor substitute for the lack of meaning in their lives.
Interesting HCM and JFK have the same quote
I realise it’s quite an old video, but I think you nailed the positives and just the difference. Also, we have a Garden City shopping centre here in Perth (in the suburb of Booragoon) that has always been called Garbo. 🤣 I hope you’re still here and enjoying Australia. 😊👍

Do you have a boyfriend?
Tôi đã sống ở Mỹ 45 năm và tôi vừa kết hôn với một phụ nữ Việt Nam kém tôi 20 tuổi. Cô ấy từ chối kết hôn với một người ở quê nhà. Tất cả chúng ta đều cảm thấy thương cho những người đàn ông Việt Nam nghèo khổ sống dưới chế độ cộng sản. Chế độ độc tài cộng sản tham nhũng đang ngăn cản Việt Nam trở thành một quốc gia giàu có và hùng mạnh. Để Việt Nam trở thành một quốc gia vĩ đại, chúng ta phải ngay lập tức xóa bỏ chủ nghĩa cộng sản. I have been living in America for 45 years and I just married a Vietnamese lady 20 years younger than me. She refused to marry someone from back home. We all feel sorry for poor Vietnamese men living under communism. The corrupt communist dictatorship is keeping Vietnam from being a rich and powerful nation. In order for Vietnam to be a great nation, we must immediately get rid of communism.
You speak very good English, in saying that your accent is almost Aussie. I hope you enjoy your life in Australia. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It's not feeling average that's the problem it's the bar for success that keeps getting raised. My parents had low paying jobs and they managed to have house,two cars raised two kids... Do you think that's possible now. A mediocre drawer is not going to hired for a graphic designer. A mediocre photographer won't sell there photos to pay the bills. You have to be extraordinary now to even have a chance at a comfortable life
Be warned that there are some (fortunately very few) businesses in Australia where you will come across poor customer service. I worked in a government department and I have worked with colleagues who would gloat about the customers they have antagonised. I have also encountered retail outlets where the salesperson is clearly in the wrong profession. The message is, Australia does have its share of arseholes.
I love the channel name.
We lost her to a white guy 😢
I think BS Jobs does point at another socialtal/cultural problem: "Why is NOT working considered lazy?" and "Why are we forced to prioritize work so much over other aspects of life?" We COULD work 32... 24... Even 16 hour workweeks... But our system chooses not to. Working productively shouldn't be rewarded with more work. It should be rewarded with more time off/money, or whatever that worker values most. I believe UBI would be 1 step towards a better world. It'd produce tangible impact in people's live, right now.
Does anyone know what happened to this girl?
yes BS ♥️✨💫😭🫡 finally someone speaking facts
You women worship Mi Chang 😂
lol anti vaxxers are idiots? oh how badly your opinions have aged
I think I do bullshit, but I dont think I have a bullshit job. It's necessary bullshit like writing people's awards for bonuses, or writing performance reports on the work they do (if I didnt do that, on what basis would they be promoted? Whats the alternative system?), or acting as a shock absorber for bullshit from higher leadership
1% cows! Brilliant. You’re very talented. Hope you are still doing something in this field. Maybe we are moving toward a time when the ethnicity of an actor is not the point, but rather, the talent.

Is Karl Marx Left and Adam Smith Right? What if the economic paradigm is a LIE? Wealth of Nations and Das Kapital are both in the public domain and can be searched. Search WoN for "and account" and you will find multiple instances of "read, write and account". When was the last time you heard anybody on the Right advocate mandatory accounting/finance in the schools? Adam Smith never used the word 'depreciation' in WoN. Search Das Kapital for it and you will find Marx wrote about the depreciation of Money, Machinery and Morality. But consumers did not buy automobiles and air conditioners before Marx died. When do Leftist talk about planned obsolescence and mandatory accounting in the schools? Creating and maintaining confusion serves the power structure. The RIGHT! Most of the right wing dummies are just pawns for the really rich. One socialist told me that he objected to mandatory accounting in the schools because the math would make Capitalism seem logical to the students. He claimed to be a high school teacher. I asked a PhD economist from the University of Chicago to explain how an automobile engine worked. He couldn't even start. Economists are technological illiterates who cannot get the algebra for the Net Domestic Product equation correct. How are they supposed to recognize planned obsolescence? NDP = GDP - Dcap (official economic delusion) NDP = GDP - (Dcap + Dcon) (reality) Dcap == Depreciation of Capital Goods Dcon == Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods GDP == Grossly Distorted Propaganda To an economist an air conditioner is no different from a banana. They are both just Consumer Goods!

Welcome to Brisbane. I'm the opposite to you as I moved from Australia to Vietnam 17 years ago. We just love your home country, and have found it so incredibly friendly all these years, but as I'm retiring I'm returning to Brisbane to live next month. I hope I don't get too much culture shock moving home. I'll always miss Vietnam though.
I finally made my way into the corporate post college high paying job about a year ago. I thought I’d use my fancy math skills to whip up optimization strategies. Instead I was a “value stream manager” tasked with “bringing value that flows to the end customer” whatever tf that means. I did everything I was asked quickly and effectively. This left me with nothing to do, especially when it was a “project” where I just had to wait for people to do their part. It was insufferable. I got laid off a few weeks ago and couldn’t be more grateful. I have more than enough money saved to last me a long time, car paid off, and unemployment (that we all pay for in our taxes). Starting my own thing as a life coach and looking for something more useful and fun
Right around Australia people work with Notebook computers. Even Brisbane
In 70% of cases inside a company, the higher the salary, the higher the bullshit content proportion for any given position. The lower the salary and the less fancy the title, the more the actual work being done and wealth being created. Just fact.

to clear up the confusion around the german politician that displayed the german flag: The politician in question is Björn Höcke, an actual neo-nazi. No seriously he tried to appeal to court that calling him a nazi is slander, but the court ruled that it's perfectly alright as he actually truely is a nazi.
Supervisor is a useless position. They don’t do anything but breath down your neck and type up reports at the end of the day. They get twice as much pay as a worker who works their butts off. That isn’t fair.
My job is far from bullshit but doesn't need to exist.....if people were smarter. I spent 70% of my day fixing larger issues caused by lack of planning and bad strategy and people not knowing how to do math or use computers beyond a basic level.

So called HR professionals are the most useless leaches on any company's neck. You wanna waste your money,? Hire a bunch of inexperienced 22 Y-olds for your HR department and watch your competition scoop up the best talents, your lill snowflakes rejected. Once I was interviewed for a bilingual job at a tech firm and 2 of those lill pukes asked me scripted stuff, but had no clue about the actual work I'd had to do, nor any of them was speaking Italian. The job title was "Bilingual Customer and technical support professional English/Italian. 3 months later they were still looking. The thing is; Western colleges are setting young ppl up for failure by indoctrinating them with useless crap and politics, instead of teaching then real life skills. Where do you think those whom graduate with a bachelor degree in Gender studies, Psychology and other useless majors end up? > In Startbucks!
people say noone will work if we have a UBI. noone is working now! LOL. with UBI people will walk away from BS jobs because they want to do real work, which may or may not be financially lucrative.
how would ubi even help this at all and not just make it worse? you said yourself the more bullshit a job is the more it pays while the people killing themself to keep society from collapsing are payed scraps so who do you think will quit when ubi becomes an option the overpayed rich people that dont have to do anything for their luxury? or the hard working people that can now earn more by doing nothing? explain how this would work out in your mind, because me living in reality doesnt see it ending well but maybe you know something i dont
Half of the day is spent writing or updating Jira tickets 🤣
Those jobs have an end game? People will do anything to keep that job. And here we are.
how do people not get depressed doing bullshit jobs, getting paid to waste their lives
