Coffee
Literally a tool of capitalism
From the article:
As it turns out, what we consider a “coffee break” in the United States is actually explicitly tied to a 1955 court case, the United States vs. Phil Greinetz of Los Wigwam Weavers.
Greinetz owned the Denver tie factory Los Wigwam Weavers and, after World War II, struggled to find staff up for the surprisingly arduous task of tie making. To encourage productivity, he introduced mandatory coffee breaks so that workers would have the energy to make it through their shifts fully alert. One problem, though. Like bad bosses throughout history, Greinetz didn’t want to pay his employees for the time he demanded they spend drinking coffee. Eventually, the U.S. Department of Labor became involved, with the court ultimately deciding, in a rare win for the working person, that employers had to cover coffee breaks since the business was positively affected by employees being jacked up on caffeine.
Not if you drink 6 shots of espresso to experience that coffee high during work
Haha. That’d kill me. I’ve never been a coffee drinker. No hate on coffee, I’ve just never enjoyed it.
Edit: stupid autocorrect
Now that’s a solid tip if ever I saw one.
just the tip ;)
Mostly by ignoring all the tankie instances on Lemmy.

We’re in the bad place, the only way to not go insane or cry constantly in heartache is extensive use of compartmentalization. That is, you have to selectively and temporarily ignore certain things at times so that you can continue to function. Then later, make time to consider those things you had to set aside.
Be successful and be responsible for my own happiness
I would, but any country on a planet where the major powers are capitalistic is also affected by capitalism.
Also capitalism has made travel unaffordable (in that after paying rent there are zero dollars left over for anything else).
Social media, appearently.
Aggressive mediocrity, malicious compliance.
Avoid participation. Live your life. Be free.
Exercise, skip breakfast, eat whatever you want for lunch, eat a really small dinner (I just do yogurt and frozen fruit),do stuff for friends/family/the local community you have roots down, go into nature and sight in your firearms, trap shooting, take psychedelics, listen to Televisions album “Marquee moon”, play dwarf fortress.
Everyone’s life is different, so you should find your way. What works for me to pass the time while I wait to die might be different then yours.
Several mental disorders that came to be because of capatilism.
Such as d.i.d.
Most people self medicate.
I was going to say drugs are pretty nice. Exercise too, but also drugs.
Hmm. Hobbies? Something that isn’t part of the daily grind? Maybe take part in the capitalism for a while, save some money to move somewhere else? I heard there isn’t much at least in the USA in between ultra capitalism and a cabin in the woods. But there might be somewhere else… Maybe a nice hacienda in Andalusia?
Still a few communist/socialist places to move. North Vietnam is pretty nice.
