Started in Hudson, Wisconsin, by social entrepreneur Tod Bol in 2009, the Little Free Library grassroots movement that promotes literacy and the love of reading (by building free book exchanges worldwide) and building a sense of community (by sharing skills, creativity and wisdom across generations). About the size of a large mailbox or small dollhouse, most Little Free Libraries hold 50-100 books that are free for anyone to take - and hopefully return!
How cute is that Little Free Library!

Get the Little Free Librarymug. Dobby is a house elf in the Harry Potter series and has suffered a terrible loss in the Deathly Hallows book and movies.
There are two terms of “Dobby is a free elf”:
1: In chamber of secrets, Harry slipped a sock in a book. Lucius Malfoy gave it to Dobby. Dobby found the sock and indicated Dobby was free from his master.
2: In the Deathly Hallows, Dobby was killed by Bellatrix’s dagger and died in Harry’s arms. This indicates Dobby is free from pain.

"George said that flick was really good, I thought it sucked."
"Yeah, but he saw it like two years ago when they were testing it. He thinks he's special. Free Screening Syndrome."

Get the Free Screening Syndromemug. Generation of Americans born between 1946 and 1964. aka Baby Boomer. They are the leading factor to the disappearance of personal responisbility, spending beyond one's means, and the physical and moral degeneration of the family in American culture.
For best example of "Free Lunch Generation" see definition of Baby Boomer - This fucking baby boomer fought no wars, underfunded the welfare state, failed to have any kids, bought the White Album and was a generally self-righteous hippy cunt while Rome burned. Now he wants MY taxes to pay his pension and medical costs for 40 years of mounting senility? Fuck that. by Lord Grimcock Jan 8, 2008

Get the Living rent freemug. Someone who obtains something without effort or cost.... Really? Really? ☝️ That? Why is that such a problem for you?
Hym "Why is the Free-Rider thing such a problem? If I don't need to expend a lot of effort to obtain something; why should I be compelled to do so? You know, their is this meme that is a clip from an anime that I haven't seen and there is this character (likely the protagonist) who says 'I don't know why everyone hates lazy people so much... We didn't even do anything.' And I can relate to that. Is that what this is? It's too easy for me and needs to be made arbitrarily difficult? Why? Why be an obstacle? And how are you going to meditate that process? Like, it was too easy for 'Catch me outside girl' to become famous. All she had to do was tell Dr. Phil and her mother to go fuck themselves. Bam! Free-Rider. Has a rap career that is predicated on her initial unearned fame. A million dollars. And what constitutes 'effort?' I don't know that I could explicitly write dialogue for a show if I tried but I can write dialogue in relationship to a topic and the dialogue is broadly applicable and can, therefore, be used in a variety of different settings. There is no reason for me not to be credited and, in a just world, I could be paid for it. Just because I'm not in the right place at the right time or I don't have the means to do something does not mean that I shouldn't be credited for my contribution.

And that's another problem if have with you 'I put myself in a position to be here' types. Did you? Did you really? I'm sure some people did but does your outcome DIRECTLY coincide with your INITIAL plan for success? If the answer is 'No' then, no. You didn't set yourself up for anything. If your plan was to be the world's best carpenter and you somehow end up being the most famous K-pop singer AND you are surprised by your our success; you did not set yourself up for anything. You were 'working hard' and then some stuff happened. And now you are doing a thing that makes more money than your initial plan, is objectively less difficult than your previous endeavors, and you have the fame to go along with it. That isn't setting yourself up. There is a disconnect between the hard work and your outcome and, shit, how to I put this?.... What you're doing is obfuscating the relationship between the former and the latter through a sort of conceptual slight of hand. For example:
Intended outcome
/
Hard work-------Neutral/Perpetual/Failure
\
Unexpected outcome
Where do you fall? 👆 Here is not what the words 'Setting myself up for success' mean. So, what constitutes a free-rider?"
