omg...

You gotta work to fight the system in whatever way makes sense to you. Shit sucks and you'll have low points but action, even (or maybe most importantly) on the small scale, helps.

any podcasts or articles detailing this? I had no idea

Yeah, girlfriend wouldn't expect any $ from the other side jobs I did. It just seems that because I work for my landlord, and because I chose to have the landlord take my earnings out of our rent for convenience, it sounds unfair because she's "paying more for rent." Someone else said it's just our lizard brain logic lol.

No I just meant if I split this earnings w/ girlfriend I would only make $10 per hour, GF would take the other $10.

Rent is $985. 10 hours landscaping at $20 per hour = $200 The check I write for rent, therefore, is $785 Girlfriend pays $492.5 I pay $292.5 because I've been counting that $200 off rent as my income. In this scenario, she thinks we should each pay $392.5

Am I in the wrong here?

My girlfriend and I live together. I'm in grad school and barely make any money with a GA position. Also, I'm terrible with money and have nothing in savings. My girlfriend has about 4k in savings and gets paid about the same as me for her work.

I landscape on the side for my landlord--$20 per hour. They offered to pay me in cash but I just have them take it off rent. Not so much now, but in the summer months I work roughly 10-15 hours in a month, taking $200-$300 off my portion of rent. I consider this kind-of a part-time job. I thought this was fair since it's my labor and not easy work--$20 per hour is a bargain (I built a patio, redid two large overgrown beds, etc.)

My girlfriend and multiple friends of hers think we should split the pay evenly since it's taken off of rent. She said in the context of a relationship, it's fair this way. In a perfect world, sure, I get that it's a partnership; however, she's ignoring the context of me being perpetually broke, having to work unpaid labor through my internship/practicum, and her being better off financially.

Should I split this pay? That would mean I'd only get paid $10 per hour for my labor. Maybe I'm thinking to individually and I am an asshole here but fuck I barely get by as is, I kind-of relied upon this side-gig to pay my portion of things.

I only stan Michael Brooks

Sir that deserves a trophy, not criticism. I think you're in the wrong place.

It does but goddamn there is something beautiful about human life. Isn't that why we all strive so hard, against all institutional and cultural forces, to promote a higher standard of living? Because we recognize the inherent beauty and possibility of life itself? The left needs to emphasize pleasure and connection--we're all so isolated that we forget how beautiful life can be.

I follow brace too

All on netflix

I've watched: The Queen's Gambit, Ratched, Ozark, and The OA. Queen's gambit is the story of a woman in the 1950-60's who is a child chess prodigy and does a lot of drugs. Ratched is campy, fun American Horror Story-esque. Ozark is about a money-laundering family and filled with great acting. OA is out-there stuff--kind of a trippy, dimension jumping show with a crazy storyline. If you can make it through the first season the second is one of my favorite seasons ever.

I scored 15 points on HTML5 Flappy Bird. http://flappybird.io

That second line is a #bar

Someone tell me to log off. I don't care anymore. I feel dumb for enjoying the trainwreck. I neglect my own health to stare at a screen and laugh at dystopian memes.
