    Office work is soul-crushing because you never see any actual result from it. It's just some papers, files and numbers that go on and on forever.
    At least if you're a construction worker you can look at the building and say to yourself you helped built this shit. (but yeah, it's gonna frick up your body)

      this isnt 1930. construction work is very fricking easy. unions have crippled any work demands and production requirements. its mean to yell at people, too, and you are forced to have women and useless minorities.

              I used to be a box doctor, I would throw box cutters across the floor like a throwing knife. We would drift the forklift around the warehouse when the floor was wet and soapy when we were washing it. Sometimes we would use the forklift to lift one another to the top shelf to grab single boxes and then we would park the guy under one of those big halide shop lights with the lift raised all the way up and then leave them there in 100 degree socal heat. The funny thing was the boss installed cameras and we didn't change our behavior at all, but he couldn't afford to fire us.

      Sedentary life fricks up your body in plenty of ways as well. There really is no avoiding the effects that aging can have on the body. Personally, I enjoy work that has me moving around, rather than sitting at a desk all day. I work in a lab as an assistant for a microbiologist and the work is both mentally and physically stimulating since she is a short Latina and I do the heavy lifting and most of the physical work involved in administering the contracted tests while she handles the paperwork, logistics, and QA. If the roles were reversed, neither of us would be happy.

                I have been keeping these bots in mind when I use this site because I want to test them and potentially break them. One way I can confirm is that basedjack bots will break if you reply to them with a post composed of exactly 2000 characters (post limit). Normally a basedjack bot will take your reply to them and add a greater than sign to turn it into a greentext then attach a basedjack, but it cannot add that character to a 2000 character post and reply without the website preventing it. Every single time I do this to a basedjack bot, it stops responding.

                Note how none of the bot replies have anything to do with specific topics other than picking up words said in the post they replied to

                In this case, a bot can use common words in this thread to infer the subject matter (work) and then make a very generic comment about it. Saying "we need a 4 day work week" requires zero brain cells, and while it may be relevant it adds nothing to the conversation and is a strange thing to reply to a person who is providing a specific anecdote about indoor vs outdoor work and who never once discussed their work hours or schedule.

                I'm studying computer science at my university so trying to suss out real-world application of social media bots is academically intriguing. I also have plenty of socialization in the real world and I do not use the internet as a substitute, so I don't expect this to have any psychological effects.

                >to infer the subject matter
                Naw that's not how training bots on a language model works
                They don't infer broad topics or anything, it's not an AI in the Hollywood sense
                It just predicts what a post might look like based on historical data
                Anyway, I'm bored of trying to explain basic NLP concepts. Keep believing it's magic AI that knows what you think, makes no nevermind to me

                I don't believe it is magic; I am trying to get a feel for how they work. I am going to be taking NLP next semester and I am sure it will provide me with a better sense of how social media bots operate. For now, the best I can do is what I am doing. Perhaps "infer" was the incorrect word and I apologize if I have suggested I am wholly ignorant of the subject-matter. The bots figure out what replies would make the most "sense" based upon activity within the thread, and since most threads on Cinemaphile are repetitive it can rely upon archived posts to source replies from. Hell, I wonder if most bot replies are actually just replies that were typed by real users years ago and being re-applied in similar discussions.

                A bot would quote the movie exactly, while a human would reference the movie in a comical way. Come on man, are you even trying? Breaking a bot requires you to plan a test out. However, I get the impression that you aren't trying to break a bot but instead attempting something else that I cannot ascertain. You aren't trying to set up a joke and even if you were I don't see how it could be funny. Are you just trying to lead me on to bump this thread?

                That's exactly what I think which is why I am ramping up the autism to 11. It's kind of like someone making a racist joke and then making them explain the joke with a straight face. He clearly feels awkward interacting with me, where he previously expected to be amused.

            why does your tiny brain immediately dehumanize people who are employed? Ants work together for common projects because it's the smartest course of action. They're tiny and weak in a massive unforgiving world. An ant who lives in isolation quickly dies. So would you. Collective action is what lifts any species above their natural curses and limitations

            >just design the system better to sustain itself like a smart person who gives a shit about life would do

            Not only do you expect people to serve you, but you want to outsource the effort of designing a magic system where no one has to lift a finger. You can't imagine such a system, but you demand other people to do it for you.

For every dude who busts their ass there's like 5 people coasting or actively making things worse.The whole idea you're supposed to be a productive member of society just because you somehow receive a paycheck is absurd.

The effort that is put in isn't from one person but from many people working toward one goal. Can you explain to me how you expect "robot get smarter" without work from human?

There are people actively doing that right now. You could be too! If you want to work for yourself, you could get started independently on robotics.

    No it's about choosing the kind of labor you want to do because it fits your personality. Office work is safe, casual, and usually pretty sterile. A lot of people love that, while for others it's maddeningly dull. They'd rather work construction or do something slightly more intensive or daring. It's a movie about self discovery not criticism of offices

    The issue with construction work is it's harder to hide incompetence. If you suck people will tell you so and call you out. The office on the other hand is full of ungratful weasles hiding in the cracks and corners. It's good work technically but if you go from construction to office work the kind of attitudes, the lazyness, and the b***hy attitude and the whole inability to solve simple problems in a straight forward no nonsense kind of way will drive you insane. Not even that, if you try to actually fix shit the other drones will gang up on you, feel jelaous and all that.

    It really doesnt matter. "oh wow I built le epic apartments for some israelite to charge 5k a month rent for" wow that's so fulfilling. "Bro I make things with my hands" nice who gives a frick? I work in a factory for 19 dollars an hour. I sleep 5 hours a night. I feel completely numb to reality and numb to caring. I really barely give a frick about anything. I used to have hobbies, I used to write. Now that I see how the average normie "lives"... Why bother? They spend all day prodooocing so they can have a car, which they only have so that they can go to work. What a pointless fricking life. I don't even want to go outside anymore. I spend every weekend with friends and it's fun but it's losing its joy like all things. It doesn't matter what job you have, you spend 10 to 14 hours a day including prep and commute and you will lose your soul, unless you're in the top ten percent, and I'm not talking about income. Fear of infinity and fear of hurting parents are the only things keeping me from domeripping. I'm also a 28 year old virgin but I doubt getting pussy would really make life very much better. I'm just waiting to die at this point. No matter what job I get it will be shit and I will work until I die.

        Hookers are illegal.

        Dude, you're 28? Take a fricking sex vacation with that 19 an hour job to the Netherlands. Do some drugs, frick some prostitutes and stop grumbling about how you don't have the balls to do anything fun. Or else leave your job and do something interesting that isn't factory work. Be a firefighter , go work as a bartender in some club, go be a farmer idk. Don't just do the same thing over and over again and expect different results

        I live with my parents, I can't just go on vacation to Thailand or Amsterdam without them wondering why (and if it's those places, they'll instantly know). Also what a waste of money. I did consider asking an old friend I haven't spoken to in years to take my virginity for 2k. I have a fetish for corrupting girls into prostitution but I'd never get an existing hooker.

        And why would I be a firefighter? Who fricking cares. I'm also too skinny for that still. I'm trying to bulk up.

      Similar story to that guy at 29, a pathetic job with pathetic pay and have literally no life. I hate everything so much, I hate just sitting here barely doing jack shit at this job, I'm embarrassed, I'm humiliated. I wish I could get an actual decent job, I want to actually do something productive, but I have no clue what to do. I have garnered barely any skills, no interests, I don't even have any skills or accreditations or anything like that that I want to get or would even know what to get, I don't even know what field to look at.

      I'm sure it will sound like I'm an incredibly lazy autist, and I guess I am. Above all else I desperately don't want to be one, I want to work at something productive, I want to put effort into things, but I have no clue what to even do.

            this is what constitutes the social lives of most normie adults. what are you doing in your free time that is so much better than what she's doing?

            Usually go to a park after work with my dog to enjoy being outdoors and tons of other dogs. I'm also working on climbing harder routes indoors and outdoors when I get the chance, pairs well with camping hobby.
            Alternatively I reload to shoot my guns for dirt cheap. I also take care of my tomatoes and bell peppers, the hot peppers though are a failure this attempt.
            And then after all that I do all day, I still have time to sit down to a home made meal from gf and drink liquor that costs the same for a BOTTLE that some norman pays for at a restaurant.

        She is a woman, it is literally her purpose to eat food and get sort of fat and inevitably quit when she shits a kid out (something like 80% of women literally never use their degrees). Within 3 years she will quit, the company knows this but has to hire her for diversity sake, so they can’t actually give her anything to do or work toward because she will get married and leave as soon as they begin asking real work from her because it will be easier to simply not.

            No what I said is a secret truth about female employment from the upper corporate perspective. They know that a huge number of them leave almost immediately after getting knocked up and do not come back. They’re resistant to give them any real work for that reason, it can slow shit down. It’s why they just stack places like HR with foids, it’s the easiest place to cycle them out.

                Women do yes, they do the same shit in the military. My unit back in the day actually had a spot “reserved” for the resident female that decided to get pregnant when the workload got bad or a deployment was coming up, they just had a spot where she’d push paper for 5 hours a day ready. A meaningless job to keep her until the pregnancy was done, then she’d be cycled out onto light duty and another female took the spot, no male ever held this position, it was an open secret it was just a fake job to throw awards at a female.

                most of the economy is make-work at this point. BAP's right about that.

                Imagine how galvanized a country like the USA would be with an economic policy where there's no welfare for lazing about: all men must work, serving in the military creating public works at the minimum. The government could issue debt-free bonds and retire them as they're paid off!

    I've done 6 years of construction and factory work. Now I've finished my first year of accounting and for the next 3 months I'm working as a student accountant. I currently make €900 per month more than in construction. The job is cosy, there's air conditioning, the coworkers are friendly and intelligent, I only have to go to the office for 2 days per week and you can't believe how fast time goes.

    Construction/factory work: low pay (in my country at least), moronic and insufferable coworkers, time goes slow, the job is back breaking, you get little respect from your employer.

    You only get to understand how good working in an office is after spending years as a wage slave robot. Everything else is cope.

    office work is a lot better than manual labor once you’ve adjusted to it
    the point of office work is that you can leverage the bullshit that you do to nearly automate everything if you know how to use excel or program. you can automate half your job and just spend the rest of the day jacking off, then you either move up the ranks and let other people do the busywork bullshit for you, or start your own business
    if you’re actually outside building shit you have no leverage other than your tools, you’re essentially dependent on whatever your rate is forever. if that’s what makes you happy then fine, but all of the old tradie guys that I know have broken bodies and no teeth

      Yep this is why I'm teaching my kids scripting and coding to get them thinking logically like that. I have cut down the timeframe on large projects sometimes by weeks simply by thinking logically and scripting out portions of my work. Not many people know how to do it well is the other thing. A lot of people are up their own ass about it and they waste more time coming up with the script than the problem itself.
