    Ohhhhhhhkay we need to start actually shooting CEOs if this is the bullshit they're talking now

    When I was coming up, working more than one job to even stay afloat was a sign of failure. We not doing this as the mandatory.

      I know professional scientists that have to do this because their bosses pay them so little. They make less than the people working at gas stations and are working to make life-saving medicines.

      It's despicable.

        That is goddamned deplorable, omf-- you'd think the people making the fuckin pills and injections our culture practically runs on would at least be getting paid for it.

      I think we are, unless somebody makes something else a lot more appealing to the Americans, who are orcs and like their chains.

      Like, if you start by apologizing for breaking their chains, how do you get people to want something lefty?

      Edit: serious question. How? Its what sold me on the idea, but it felt like kind of the main offer. I feel like part of the reason so many queers end up lefty is because of the deliberate construction of identity rather than just choosing an identity and narrative presented often leads to, like, thinking about stuff and that tends to end up somewhere left if you're not full of thought terminating cliches. What can we sell, what prefab life products can we offer orcs?

    The rate of profit is falling. You'll have less leisure time, and like it.

    Without taking the mental damage of looking at the actual article, I'm guessing this is just rebranding either having multiple jobs or having extra responsibilities in your one job.

    Yeah, it's called a union. You just create a poly-cule with all your co-workers.

    MFW a slight bit of me does want to have a wife and family, but seeing on how they’re screeching about the birthrates. I kind of want to be gay out of spite.

    It’s the only thing I can actively refuse them. All they had to do was give me a job but all the businesses said “no”.

    Who wants a malewife?
