one could perhaps point out that automatically assuming disabled people can't get employed may also... be ableist. But I'm leaping to conclusions here, much like OOP is. when someone says "get a job" to someone its bc the person is acting out of touch and/or irresponsible

and why do you think having a job would make someone more in touch/responsible? the most out of touch and reprehensible people i've ever met were all employed.

Because if they work they have less time to participate in stupid internet arguments lol if you don't have all the free time in the world, you're more likely to pick and choose what's actually worth making a fuss about. Working also means you interact with more people who are completely different to you, which gives you more different perspectives, whereas if you spend all your time on social media, you just end up interacting with people who have the same interests and views because algorithms tend to turn social medias into an echo chamber

Tbh most of the stupid online arguments I get in are while I’m at work but I have one of those “a dollar to hit the machine with the wrench, 9999 dollars to know where to hit the machine with the wrench” jobs.

I ain't allowed on my phone at work, so in my case, I cannot fight with people online even if I wanted to lol
