#Bullshit-Jobs
Das ist vielleicht ein bisschen zu weit gegangen. Wir sind bei dem Level an Bequemlichkeit angekommen, bei dem Menschen Zuhause vereinsamen, nur parasoziale Beziehungen oder gleich Chatbots als besten Freund haben und keinen Sinn in ihren Bullshit-Jobs mehr finden.

It’s probably fair in bullshit jobs, that don’t really generate any value. So healthcare, butchery, high quality joinery, structural engineering, newspaper editing require education, skill and experience.

Recently Adobe has changed/shut down a HUGE animation program that many in both industry and normal day to day use.
So badly they had to come back and revert the change, apologizing while still also doing extremely bad practice like inflating prices and AI generated bullshit (Jobs, programs, etc)

David Graeber. Parses shit jobs and bullshit jobs. Hero

Yep, the "greed is good" bullshit of the 80s & 90s. Labor hate the poor as much as the LNP these days. People don't come to work in my town, (yes there are jobs, good jobs), because there is literally nowhere for them to live, tourists in whole airbnb houses, while workers live in motels or caravans

Late night chores and accidentally giving myself a headache was not on my to do list, but we're managing. Should still have time to finish up this last bit of the next rewrite. :3

Also reading the transcript apparently the fed believes everywhere "blue" is trying to let non-citizens vote in elections.

Which... I blame Democrat officials and the mainstream media for enabling this bullshit.

I do. Elected Dems asked for these jobs and then they don't do them.

A ton of my friends lost their jobs ahead of the curve because "dictation technology has finally advanced enough" to replace them. It hadn't though! It was just this bullshit before they called every instance of it AI

I worry the only thing that will cause change is a mass amount of them losing their jobs over it. Which is unfortunate because that means we’ve got 11 months minimum of this bullshit.

I truly can't, these are the people who responded most strongly to bullshit narratives about failing public services, failed "integration," and a housing crisis being caused by immigration, belatedly realizing the people immigrating *create services and jobs*

David Graeber shows that we should already be working only 15 hours/week given 20th century automation in Bullshit Jobs. TL;dr we got a proliferation of admin and security jobs instead

Let's stop the bullshit. Come on Congress. Stop acting so damn helplessly and quit crying to us what Trump and his administration is doing. We KNOW. Do your jobs. Get Ice Agents off our streets. Then arrest, convict and imprison Trumps Administration. The EVIDENCE of murder, corruption is all there.

Personalabbau ist immer der erste „logische“ Schritt.
Firmen schauen explizit danach Personal einzusparen.
…Deutsche arbeiten zu wenig.

Die wollen euch in niedrig bezahlte Bullshit Jobs drängen.

I suddenly understand why corporate assholes love this tool. Their jobs are not to accomplish anything but to generate plausible sounding bullshit.

2) This also helps get us away from employment-based healthcare.

3) Minimum wage is really poorly targeted: most minimum wage employees are part-time, not main breadwinners for household, & increasing minimum wage has mid results on poverty rate esp child poverty

4) Reinforces bullshit jobs

I heard someone say people losing their jobs over the Epstein files is consequences. Bullshit. They belong in prison.
February 6, 2026 at 6:18 AM
Well which is the most alarming, going to the Grammys or protecting child molesters? I know what some GOPers would pick. If they would just do their jobs, they would not have time for the bullshit.

Duct-taper is a category in Graeber's taxonomy of Bullshit Jobs

Stocks tank.
Precious metals tank.
Crypto tanks.
Jobs tank.

And fucking Scott Bessent has the fucking clanging brass balls in his shriveled nutsack to wag his 2” dick at Congress thinking he’s a fucking stud while being laughed at by everyone in front of him.

I’m so sick of this bullshit.
February 5, 2026 at 10:47 PM
so no bullshit, some of it is north korean hackers trying to take remote jobs to compromise american software (or to simply earn salaries that funnel USD back to NK)

i think there may be various versions of this scam where code farms crank out work 'on contract' for non-contract jobs.
February 5, 2026 at 9:36 PM
More bullshit. By now, they should have caught all of the disreputable commercial activity. I guess they aren't very good at their jobs.

Just in case you thought they were just doing their jobs, or any of the other bullshit they spout... these aren't just run of the mill playing cards.

They were designed and printed specifically to terrorize people. And we fucking paid for it.

SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN!
Federal Agents Left Behind “Death Cards” After Capturing Immigrants
