But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.
We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.
"Anonymous asked: Ive been friends w/ a guy for a decade now & its been mostly platonic which is great. We're great friends but over the past couple of months hes been asking to hang out a LOT more (which is a big event-he lives two hours away) etc which again, is totally fine! What threw me off=when he called recently & told me he was looking for a girlfriend & was going on & on about his (lack of a) love life. I know its hard to know w/o knowing HIM but do you have suggestions on how to read the situation?
Sounds like you need to decide if you wanna date this guy, and if you do, you should either start some very obvious flirting or you should let him know you’re into him. If you don’t want to date him, I’d just ask what’s up with hanging out so much lately and you feel like maybe he has feelings for you so you want to talk about it?
Good luck!
