I promise I’m not purposefully ignoring you I just forgot and could use a nudge

Unless the trolley is traveling with infinite velocity or the people have infinitely small mass, it would never make it past its first countable infinity of people. Therefore there is no difference.

Why be like this?

And, at the end of the day, I am conserving all my hatred for the moment when I personally blow away during the revolution.

I missed this storyline in your game but welcome it with open arms

Community organizing. The more queer people in a given area are close with each other and know each other, the more opportunities there will be for solidarity. I unfortunately don’t know the activist groups taking a crack at specifics but it will likely be very policy wonk-y. So if someone is good at deep dives like that, connecting them to a larger network is important.

I speak for the brie’s

The gift that keeps on giving

Yeah Twitter finally shut off the free tier of their API. Shit’s rough.

The Dutch person claims to be fine. Trust but verify.

Meanwhile, the orphan crushing machine could have been disabled with $20 in explosives if you take out the mechanic who repairs it first

That’s an average of $142.86 for anyone curious

My father in law just got on disability after a life of construction absolutely destroyed his fucking body. Carpal tunnel like mad. Arthritis so bad you can see it on an x ray. No nerves left in his hands so he just randomly drops shit now. They’ve gotta fuse a bunch of the discs in his back. Cartilage is just gone from his knees. After seeing him for the first time in a decade, his doctor was baffled and asked him how he functions and he said he just ignores the pain. Personally I think the rampant drug use helps take the edge off but I’m no doctor. Retirement my ass.

GRADUAL DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE NOW

SLIGHT UPTICK IN RACIALLY AMBIGUOUS BABIES IMMEDIATELY

Translation:

Marxists exiting their ideological bubble:

A look of horror at how incorrect Marx was

Serious intellectuals reading Marx:

A look of smug superiority at how incorrect Marx was

Jokes on you that’s how Marxists always look

ive wotta gork it

I think this is spot on. When you put that much unchecked power in one person’s hands, it’s just a dice roll. And with the class interests of workers and owners being opposed, it’s a weighted dice roll. I happened to get lucky that my despot was able to look past the next quarter’s profits. And now that private equity has fully taken over our industry, there’s no dice roll left. Everyone’s getting fucked no matter who they work for.

I resent that I understand that the dog whistle is about Muslims. My brain is broken.

My employer was the only one left in our space that hadn’t been bought by private equity. We had a massive advantage in the market with an excellent reputation. The owner decided to retire after Covid but he had no savings because he’d kinda just thrown his entire life into the company. He was no pauper but he didn’t have shit for retirement. So he sold the company for enough money to set him up for the next 30 years and bounced. Our healthcare, which was better than any healthcare package I’d ever seen, was the first thing to go. We went through a new CEO every year for 3 years and continued acquiring companies and it’s so fucking corporatized now. My job involves so much meta-job tracking and bullshit now and we’ve really just lost a certain something about the work culture that I loved.

I once walked into the old CEO’s office and yelled at him for half an hour about some bullshit policy they were trying to push that was gonna pile a bunch of extra work on my department. He took it and rolled it back that afternoon. I’d never be able to get away with that now. Everyone from the mid level managers and up is playing the dumb power games that drive me nuts where no one ever says what they mean or mean what they say. It’s like everyone’s so scared of losing their lackeys that they don’t let themselves actually give a shit about how the company works. Something something Graeber.
