@ferrarilegends it's really common for some reason to see Arabs as lazy and not wanting to work (in fairness, nobody wants to work, honestly) but the harsh fact is that they're strongly protective of the "life" in "work life balance". They find it really strange that White people have been duped into working more than 40hrs a week and then treating it as a flex. @n8
@ferrarilegends Funny enough a buddy of mine agreed with this. "sure we were poor as shit but at least we were experiencing a life more than 2 days every week or so, and then 10 years before we die."
Fuck me that's brutal.
@n8
@ferrarilegends see, I used to think it was laziness, now I realize it's just giving a shit about the quality of your life. @n8
@ferrarilegends It's also worth noting how annoyingly narrow the definition of family is in the USA. In the Middle East and Asia "family" is broad as fuck. In the USA they have to preface with "extended family" if it's not your immediate family which is dumb. @n8
@ferrarilegends I had to explain to someone that this is why "rich people houses" are traditionally very huge. You had your family, probably your spouse's family as well. If you needed them, servants and maybe their families. So you had a shit ton of people and a 5 bedroom house won't cut it.
People are mocking young Americans for living at home but to Southern Europeans, most Asians and Arabs that's completely normal. The issue isn't that we're "childish" the economy just fucking sucks.
@n8
@ArdanianRight Everyone thinks about kids or family for this scenario, which is important but there's another thing that isn't thought about that much. What if someone gets injured or sick? While you'd like to stay home with them it's not always realistic, if you had family living with you you can be assured that while /you/ may not be the one looking after them right now, someone close to you (mom, dad, aunt, etc) is. @ferrarilegends @n8
