does alienation of labor apply to the school/academic system? genuine question. bc i feel like "study for a while and get a good grade on a test" should make someone feel good, but to me its also just "suffered for a while and got result" and with long form writing for papers its even worse. but i could understand if it is since ive always hated how grades are basically just a representation of a students economic value (being worthy of financial aid, internships/jobs)

Why "should" getting a good grade make you feel good? Why is it your (or anyone's) expectation that doing a thing you are forced to do would elicit a pleasant emotion?

It feels like absolutely nothing to a great many people. It is very alienating work because there is no actual fruit to your labor. It's all symbolic, indirect, delayed labor with no tangible personal payoff or collaboration.

I started keeping an animate doll around the house. Every three days it learns to be a real boy, which then allows me to harvest its soul. It then loses all its memories and the cycle repeats. My sister says I'm a monster, but I just think it's a good sustainable source of souls. aita?

you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someone’s house to arrest them irl/

Recognize that your struggle and your suffering is the same as everyone else’s, I think that’s the beginning of a responsible life. Otherwise, we are in a continual savage battle with each other with no possible solution, political, social, or spiritual.

And who enforces this? Is it just a few bad apples, or is it all cops?

How hard is it for them to find cops willing to enforce this? Do they have to sift through hundreds of heroic cops who refuse until they find the one cop who's monstrous enough to enforce this, or do they easily find cops willing to enforce this because monstrous cops are everywhere and being a monster is part of the job?

"All cops are bad" is not a stereotype. It's literally a requirement for the job that every single one knew about.
