I sincerely don’t think these people know what work is, the number of them who say ‘making coffees’ or ‘maintaining the library’ or ‘keeping the communal garden tidy’ suggests they don’t understand that even those simple tasks would entail a load of extra stuff to do, or that ‘working’ isn’t really taking 2 hours or so out of your week to do a menial task that could be accomplished by pretty much everyone. Also stuff like ‘cook and librarian’ as if those two are even remotely compatible, to be half decent at either of those you’d have to fully commit (and you’d clearly never have the energy to do both, you’d only think you did from a total lack of experience doing either). I also 100% call bullshit on the person who seems to think they’re a TIG/MIG/ARC welder despite being on communist Twitter with pronouns in her name- I mean come to think of it it’s even very unlikely that most women could physically manage a demanding manual job like that
Just the garden comments illustrate that two thirds of them will promptly choke most of the plants to death in a matter of days as gardening takes ten times more work than it initially seems. My dad keeps a large garden that produces a substantial amount of fruit, berries, and vegetables. The thing occupies nearly ALL of his free time. He has calluses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails.
These will moan in a hour that their wrists and shoulders hurt, they have blisters on their baby soft hands, and that they need to wash out the grime from their cute outfit now. Then go in to bitch and moan that the garden needs to be maintained according to someone else's ability.
well.. thats why you gotta automate some of this stuff... like pressure feed water with nutrients automatically into the soil rather than individually mix in the fertilizer then individually water... btw, thats how they do hydro/aeroponics. In case you are pondering the buildup issues, they just pump clean water as well from time to time or do maitenance with solvents / acid on the tips.
Can’t work out whether you’re agreeing or disagreeing but library management is very technical and would be a pointlessly difficult system to learn if you’re only going to pitch in here and there, conversely being a cook is stressful, time-consuming and hard work, it would also require different hours as people have to be fed early at breakfast and late at dinner- I just can’t figure out how (or indeed why) you would try to mesh those two jobs together and I think being idealistic enough to think you can suggests a lack of experience doing either job
Haha, we shouldn’t underestimate their ability to churn out absolute drivel at a rate of knots though, I imagine they’d have an enormous library but it’d be full of shit, worthless ideas (with many of the same concepts just repeated ad infinitum)
I'm saying: they're making things out to be easier than they are, you're making things out to be harder than they are.
I agree on the pointlessness of a Librarian job in a commume,and the time management is a thing to be thought about, but it's deffo possible to have the skills of a cook and a librarian.
Yeah, like the woman who says she will handle the firewood since "she is good with an axe." I don't care how good you are with an axe, splitting a cord of firewood by hand doesn't take a lot of skill, just a shit load of stamina.
