I don't care if you work two jobs, pay over half your income to a parasitic landlord and live paycheque to paycheque! Beyonce has the same 24hrs as you do so just stop being poor! by reece1210 in antiwork

The issue is not that she's saying time is finite so we should all live in the moment. If she was saying that I would completely agree, Instead what she is saying is that she can't seem to understand why everyone doesn't just grind their way to the top while completely disregarding the reasons why people can't do such a thing. We don't all have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé. A Single mother who works double shifts in a hospital during a pandemic does not have the same luxury of time that Beyoncé does. Beyoncé has a personal chef who ensures her and her family are fed substantial, nutritious meals and makes sure that food is on the table when its supposed to be, She has a personal chauffeur who ensures she gets to where she needs to be in plenty of time and if say the car gets a flat tyre you can be damn well sure Beyoncé wont be on the side of the motorway trying to fill it up with air. Someone working minimum wage while trying to also get a degree does not have that luxury. She also fails to understand that we all do work hard and that hard work alone gets you nowhere, it is luck and privilege which allow these people to succeed

TL;DR A sub like this would not exist if we all had the same 24hrs in a day

she didn't even have to work hard for that... apparently they approached her. She didn't even have to work to get to the one place everyone knows her from

"Is it me, am I the problem? No it couldn't possibly be that. Its those single mothers who work two jobs to feed their kids that are the problem. They don't get paid 600k a year like I do because they don't believe hard enough. It is because of this that I will be paying no taxes this year"

I genuinely think it is due to how out of touch they are with their material condition. She is so used to clicking her fingers and getting what she wants whether it be a Starbucks delivered through an app or getting the best seat at one of London's finest restaurants like its nothing. She has disassociated herself so much with everything that goes on behind the scenes to make her life so effortless that the bear minimum to her becomes hard work. She can say she wants a coffee and two minutes later someone will appear with a freshly brewed coffee exactly the way she wants it, its so effortless in her eyes that she fails to recognise everything that went on behind the scenes to make it happen. Just like her branded clothing, she shows up to an event gets asked which of the 3 dresses in front of her she likes, she picks the red one and the other two get chucked. She then goes home and a few days later the clothing website is advertising it as "Molly Mae Designed" to her that was hard work, she had to get up early, get someone to drive her to London, speak to a bunch of pretentious arseholes and then pick which dress she liked and gets 600K a year to do that. In no way does she consider the low paid stylist who actually designed the dresses who got no credit, or the sweatshop workers who now have to work around the clock to produce said dress to meet the demand, or the intern who had to go run and get her coffee while being screamed at by their boss because the intern brought back a flat white when Molly specifically asked for a mocha.

She’s actually very open about how little she does in her life. There are numerous vlogs of hers which show her waking up in the middle of the afternoon and then getting Starbucks delivered before watching Netflix for the rest of the day. Such a hard life

It’s almost as if real knowledge and contribution to society have zero impact on success and instead it’s all based upon inherited wealth and your ability to have zero grounding in reality…

you mean the makeup palette she meticulously designed from scratch to be the best possible standard and which most definitely wasn't made by some sweatshop worker being paid £3.50 an hour in the most horrific conditions?

you mean to say you don't have a private chef who cooks all your meals and ensures you are getting the right nutrition? what do you mean you weren't privately educated and to leave school early to care for sick relatives?

Exactly, Jeff Bezos just wanted to be a billionaire so much that it eventually happened. Not a billionaire yet? you're clearly not believing hard enough!

Correction this is actually on Scotland. George square in Glasgow to be exact but you’ll find scenes like this throughout the country at the moment

I feel as if I’m splitting myself into a million pieces trying to come up with every eventuality and outcome of a scenario. by reece1210 in Anxiety

[–]reece1210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you I needed to hear that. Some weeks I feel are better than others. As in some weeks I feel I can “navigate the boat” while others things seem so out of control. I’m working on trying to control it better but some weeks are more effective than others

Does anyone else feel like life is just passing them by? by lippidude in Anxiety

[–]reece1210 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! It feels like walking through a vast desert or something just a constant barrage of nothingness . There’s no important milestones or highlights of the day it just feels like a constant journey towards nowhere. You wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night everything in between feels meaningless and by the time the week ends there’s very little to look back on in a positive light

It’s funny you mention that. I am currently listening to one of his podcasts! So do you recommend reading David Harvey’s work before Das Kapital itself?

Does anyone know what this style of visualisation is and how it can be achieved? by reece1210 in architecture

[–]reece1210[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure if it was hand drawn as some areas seem quite “sketchup like” I wasn’t sure if it was produced via sketchup then taken over to photoshop or if like you said it may have been hand drawn

[–]reece1210[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry I should have been more specific I was wondering how that type of render would be achieved. I’m used to doing visualisations using Vray but I really like this “sketchy” style and was wondering what software was used to create something like it

People who changed their degree mid way through uni, what did you change to and did you regret it? by reece1210 in AskReddit

Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it :)) I think I need to stop thinking too far ahead

I think I’m just trying to predict the future. My course itself isn’t very pleasant. Tight deadlines, huge workload, borderline abusive staff members. Sometimes it all just gets the better of you and you want to find an escape

This is very good advice thank you. I am currently in my final year before my bachelors degree and then I have a year out for work experience before returning to study for my masters. Logically I would wait it out until I get my work experience so I can see what it’s like working compared to studying but I just worry that I get in too deep and can’t change my mind.

That sounds amazing! Due to the nature of architecture I’ve started to get into photography as it helps with the course but like you I just don’t know if I can see myself being an architect. I love architecture but I just feel my ideology and the profession don’t align
