Do people in real blue collar work get mad when people are doing their job digitally...

[Naer]

from the comfort of their homes. I recently picked up factorio that was sitting in my steam library. Do tradies get mad when i'm doing their job more or less without breaking a sweat while having more fun than them?

Do farmers care that i'm harvesting crops and making bank without ever leaving my chair play stardevalley. Must be hard for those farmers doing backbreaking work while i do the same thing with a few clicks. Are they bitter?

Sims are pretty lame. Working is more fun.

Factorio is pretty badass. I had to put it down though before I got too addicted.

Sounds as boring as the picture looks.

As I get older, I realize that making big money is not always tied to talent or effort.

Some are born into a wealthy family and get a cushy director job in a big company making millions a year.
Some choose to go into white collar jobs and some just get lucky and get paid good $$.
Some are born into war zones which they had no control over.

That's why I have so much empathy in my mid 30s today vs before. I traveled a lot and everyone is the same - they're all trying to put food on the table for their family and their kids.

Not really since a lot of farmers are converting over to autonomous equipment.

You’re not doing the blue collar work in Factorio; ur operating at the owner/executive level. And those folks IRL don’t mind someone else doing it better on a couch as they’re raking in bank.

There's lotsa trimming machine available, you lose a bit of potency on the buds but look at all the kief you'll get...
