To be fair 1/3 of women don’t die in childbirth, 1/2 of children don’t die before they are ten, we have weed and booze they could never have dreamed of, freaken chocolate and aspirin, and you are highly unlikely to become a sex slave. It was paradise for a very small fraction of the population and rape/slavery/castration for the rest.
Still I could go for an orgy and some figs if anyone is in the mood.
To be fair it’s like 30 degrees outside so the orgy might need to be postponed
Well its a bit warm but it should be fine.
What better way to warm up than being under a mass of sweaty, writhing bodies?
That’s what bath houses are for!
When I went freelance, it was hard not having a boss at first, now I’m totally into it. It took around a year for me to get everything to where I felt good about it. I think a lot of people don’t realize that the uncomfortable feeling of not having a boss usually doesn’t last forever. The people who liked working from home probably get it. We are taught to have bosses from a very early age.
Not having a more senior person to go to when you get stuck could be a problem.
This is what I mention when I’m covertly pushing “radical” ideas such as 4 day work weeks. We have all of these technological advancements - Why can’t the workers see some of those benefits instead of them being funneled to the top in the form of extra profits?
You should focus more on the orgies and figs.
Going to take this into account… I may have been approaching this the wrong way
Stop pushing the idea of four day work weeks. Begin promoting the idea of three day weekends.
I bet you’ll start getting different responses.
Fuck that. 4 day weekends.
We almost had a 4 day work week implemented at my job, but some Big Brain said “NO! We need to be shipping 5 days a week!”
90% of the time we don’t ship things out on Friday…
Because the Greeks you hear about were the aristocracy. You don’t hear how some estimates of the population breakdown were more than 80%-90% slaves.
Just like how you hear of the 300 Spartans, but not the several thousand Thebians, most of whom were slaves, who also defended the pass.
Not to mention all the thespians
I mean the rich people are eating figs, on their yachts, on their way to their winter home, to go skiing with their family.
Yeah…
Or eating figs on their private plane on the way to an island for…an orgy …
They also had slaves to do the manual work 😬
Just sounds like you don’t understand how to use technology. Fig-stealing whores have the Greeks beat.
… and cheese! Don´t forget about the cheese!
If we weren’t working what would we be doing
I use.my machine that can do the work of 100 people to make shitty jokes online.
I mean, precisely because of that people indeed now do have fig orgies outside. Just don’t count workers as people.
welcome to crapitalism
… To be completely completely fair, the Greeks with power treated a substantial amount of their population as machines, forcing them to perform labor and submit themselves sexually to them, and presided over a system that might have actually viewed the eventual goal of society to be elevating the people of my City to not lives of indolent leisure & carnal pleasure through subjugating countless others…
Hey some of us still find time for orgies… some of us are paid to do so. And figs are always delicious.
