A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I get this sucks but you can quit your job and walk away from your employer, theoretically.
If the government decides to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, or your life, you can't walk away from it and find a new government.
Your boss and your government are just totally different.
Yeah and be homeless.
And I don't participate in government shit unless I have to like taxes cause they'll come for me if I don't pay for them kind of thing.
I mean that's the difference right there, right? If you quit your job, you're homeless. If you don't pay taxes, you're arrested.
what? Depends on the numbers I think.
