When I was on unemployment I asked them what the state expected me to do if I still didn’t have a job despite my best efforts, and the unemployed benefits ended. They just awkwardly laughed.
We live in the bad place because we let people be rich, and then let them make the rules.
Legitimately aggravating. Well done.
Right? But it was so … Short sighted, to think it would last forever and you’d never need to organize.
I remember an old coworker said he was anti union. “I’d just find another job if I didn’t like the one I had”, he said. Bold claim.
Criminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.
Maybe it’s like micro transactions - once you break the seal you’re much more likely to keep going.
Have to have severe penalties. It’s the only thing some people understand
I believe you even though that’s kind of sad. I’m not sure which of “they thought this dead animal picture was good” or “they don’t have friends to take a better picture” or “it didn’t even occur to them to ask a friend to take a picture” are worse.
That could be. I’m not sure how the “many women don’t like these pictures” fact didn’t override that, though.
When I was on the dating apps I got a friend to take some photos of me in the park
I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.
I got another talking to about making people feel bad.
Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.
Probably similar to how a lot of incels and manosphere duds get advice from other men instead of women. They’re in a little bubble. Maybe they don’t respect women’s opinions.
Headlines starting with like “Trump explodes” give a hope that is immediately dashed upon finishing the sentence
These are mild consequences. I’m sure we can upgrade to moderate, or maybe even memorable consequences.
This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.
You can read it for free but you have to sign up (for free). Not sure if there’s another word for that. Free-walled? Login-walled?
I recently read “People’s History of the United States” and it paints a much grimmer picture of the early US. It didn’t take long for the alien and sedition acts to be written, despite the grand language about freedom. There’s also many, many, years of labor asking for more than dirt and being violently suppressed.
Right? If they had just kept windows as “fine” I probably would not have made the switch to Linux. Inertia is powerful. Now I’m full Linux time and have no regrets. Pop!_os with the kde desktop is fine
Neat. Feel like one of them I had to guess on, but otherwise is nice.
I have thought about writing a story about someone who kills all the leadership ghouls who force return to office, no holiday pay, and so on. Not sure what I could do to raise it from revenge porn to something deep.
