Yeah because fuck hustle culture.
Even without hustle culture I’m not going to be as motivated as a crackhead looking for a fix because I am not powered by addiction. I’m more motivated to sleep and eat way too much pie so a pothead would be better competition.
(Shh don’t tell anyone I stole this from another post two minutes ago)
I’ll stick with my guiding principle “do whatever crackheads aren’t doing”.
So not your mom… yeah that’s good advice.
I don’t think crackheads are having sex with my mom… Which means I must have sex with her D:
Curses! Foiled by logic yet again!
OC has been suspiciously silent since they learned crackheads breathe
I prefer to do the opersite of this. As this is not upto los pollos hermanous standards
So you’re saying that you should suck a guy’s dick in a dark alley for $20 in order to be successful?
Gotta start somewhere
That’s the right attitude. Maybe someday you can move up to sucking dick in a dark basement instead of the alley
Well yeah I’m gonna let him out hustle me. That bastards on crack.
Work like it’s a crippling addiction - it’s not as though crackheads have miserable lives, their bodies literally falling apart as their minds figuratively do the same, until they either muster the incredible willpower to endure the intense suffering required to drop the habit, enduring lifelong consequences, or die an early death.
As far as red flags go…
Sure, let’s all hustle like crackheads:
“Oh, your job isn’t paying enough? Well, have you tried stealing from your family? Your grandma has a social security check coming, right? Oh, your family doesn’t talk to you anymore, huh? Well have you tried selling your neighbor’s car stereo? What about his propane grill? How about stealing tube socks from Walmart and trying to sell those on the street to anyone who walks by? Still not cutting it, huh? I don’t know man, maybe it’s time to try sucking some dicks.”
These memes seem a lot less clever if you’ve ever been close to someone whose life got snowed under by addiction, or lived in a neighborhood that has a crack problem. Seeing real crackheads really hustling is pretty fucking bleak. They’re not getting ahead. They’re not winning. They’re burning everything with even a shred of value to service their addiction, including family and personal relationships.
I don’t know, maybe it’s a very apt metaphor for capitalism, and what our capitalist system expects of us, but I have no desire to trade the people and things that make my life bearable just so I can brag about having a couple extra dollars in the bank.
That’s kind of the point though. If “hustling like a crackhead” wasn’t obviously a bad thing, there’d be no joke here.
LinkedIn vibes
Damn, people on Lemmy are among the least fun people I’ve ever seen, based on these comments.
Your name is literally anticorp and thats what most of these comments are saying.
How would you like them to respond? /genc
You don’t need to pick everything apart. It’s okay to joke around.
This is truly motivational
Not a fair comparison to us non-drugged people because apparently crack cocaine is quite energizing & makes people highly -driven to get shit done.
Just a buncha normies here wallowing in existential dread & unshakeable procrastination.
so i should start smoking crack, is what you’re saying.
Well you know, lemmy knows best?

I feel like Gus Johnson could make a video out of this.
So you say I should rob a store, or what?
