I think you mean "innovation." As it seems that things that were stolen years ago are now "new ideas" again. All the fake reasons that companies feel the need to make weird and pointless changes to things. Just to then un-do those changes in a few years and act like the shit they were already doing before is some mega leap forward. The changes allow folks that really really want to climb the latter fast as fuck with putting their spin on things that make worker's lives suck with extra nonsense BUT sound somehow amazing on paper to the bosses (that also tend to not know how the shit works to begin with at this point) for promotions. All before shit breaks and they then re-pitch the old shit as "making the business more streamlined." So many of these companies feel like they "need" to change their logos and act like it is some super deep meaning (though in Elon's case it is likely both "deep" and for laughs/"dunking" on someone somewhere). But they all just end up copying each other in major design elements. Like Google's weirdly proportioned and oddly HR looking cartoon people are in HR e-learnings I have to take at work and across so many IoT brands and services.

If this is real (I am a Millennial but I don't actively watch/use Tiktok to have seen it), I think that it might be a learned habit from using tape and old slow digital cams. Especially tape since it does need to get moving. Though old digital cameras also have a much more noticeable delay than basically any modern smartphone. Go watch old internet videos and you will also hear the camera person say "go/okay, go" like miming how shows and movies are clapped. Could it be trimmed? For sure.

In fact they refuse to wear them and burned them.

You are spot-on! The right-wing reactionaries are tripping over themselves to "dunk" on "rich actors crying over not getting more," which is easy to get their base of "hard workers" foaming. Always got to keep making and enforcing cultural norms of work that is and isn't "real" or "hard." Which is easy to do when you only ever play lip-service to "supporting" blue-collar workers, but never actually push for those same workers to stop being screwed over in any meaningful way. Just a grift from those singing false praise in order to do the same shit that libs do when running for office. Which is unhelpful shit where they "hear and see us" while doing everything the oppressors demand. It is like how stuff like free-speech is so quickly brought up to attack China or other socialist nations. Just because we are allowed to talk shit all day doesn't mean anything was changed to help any of us.

But these "fake workers" (also labeled "entitled") in fields of entertainment and sports often only have a very short window of time to get gigs that pay much while still being in whatever "valuable" state that is wanted at the time. Like how female actors have the stereotype of "aging out" of being attractive for leading roles. If the system does work this way, then it means they have X amount of years to get maybe a lifetime's worth of pay. In addition to being more or less 24/7 in applying to jobs.

Are there lots of super obvious libs in entertainment that do act like assholes and perfect examples of what the conservative puppets are talking about in their "dunk" sessions? Do those examples look down on the rest of us "untouchables" and even go on to become the business version of landlords via buying franchises that then treat their workers poorly? Oh fuck yes they do. But what the right-wing/conservative folks always fully and knowingly ignore is that the vast majority of the folks on strike are not making anywhere near the amounts of money or have the same lives of luxury. It is all just more fake barriors being placed in order to keep all workers fighting each other instead of the ones fucking us all over.

Fucking got me on this one! lol, I completely ignored which community this was posted in and only noticed as it got weirder. Take the upvote and keep on posting shit!

One very helpful thing about bosses and companies going more and more mask-off with regards to how little workers mean to them is a lot of great moments to plant leftist seeds. I have been making efforts to pop-in with anti-capitalist quips and conversations with basically everyone I can. Though I am a poor teacher in lacking enough proper theory. I am however there to actually empathize with co-workers and point to all the contradictions placed on us from both our direct GM (and his team of boot lickers that came with him) and corporate. I also try to teach them things that they may not be aware of because basically 90% of the people in the store haven't been there more than a full year. Sometimes able to find customers that are receptive while helping them. But those are tricky and tend to be at least good for expressing how most of the things they get frustrated about while shopping are fully related to greed from above that means less people to help customers. Just have to learn to read enough into each moment to see which levels of things to try and who might be ready to hear it.

It is really bad that things are getting worse on so many fronts for so many people. However it is also one of the most crucial times to do everything possible to educate the masses. If the left doesn't really start mobilizing and taking time to help others un-learn the defeatism and the lies about what socialism/communism and even freaking anarchism are truly about. Because times like this are also beyond perfect for fascists to gain support with low hanging fruit populist sounding shit. And they love the hell out of some reactionaries that act without understanding. Both sets of normie liberals and conservatives have only learned shit from entertainment and take actions that are great for a photo-op or a one day thing. But they all just think that it ends with holding signs and yelling things, just to go home "feeling" like they did something major.

Both parties keep deflecting and only say "voting harder" is how change will happen. While not doing a damn thing while in office. Just all one constant campaign focused on just winning elections. No fighting and the voters are going along with it. And even if say the Dems got full freaking turn out and got crazy large ultra majorities in all offices. They would then just avoid using that time to do the shit people want. Just say that they "are focused on X at the moment and the other stuff just needs to wait". Then act like them losing offices is all just the fault of lazy voters.

Not a Zoomer (am a Millennial) and I don't watch/use Tiktok much at all. But I guess it is either an unintentional representation of how modern capitalism in a nutshell. Like how content is more and more ads focused with the supposed "real" content being secondary (and hard to focus on for long). But the people consuming the content are also aware that the content creator(s) need to keep doing further and further strange shit in order to get any money. Which is also the same issue we see with companies that refuse to try and just be level. The board and shareholders require always making number go up. And stuff like what the person in the video does is maybe intentional (that the creator is trying to mock the constant one upping of being weird af) or unintentional (going to say unintentional is going to be the answer 9.5 times out of 10) modern blend of Dada and Pop Art in a meme/viral wrapper.

OR it is just folks that don't have any actual opinion on politics. Just really really really want to be famous and allow their fan-base to make further and further demands for ever escalating demands for lulz. Attached with the normalization of "grindset."

Would people with synesthesia have a chance at "seeing" waves outside average range? I know that some or all of them speak of "hearing color" or "seeing sound."

In the event that I get signed out of this account. I can be reached on either @dRLY@lemmy.ml or @dRLY@lemmygrad.ml via DMs.

I am now on account three, and it looked like this new one wasn't even going to load past the sign-up page. Just really strange how it just gets stuck with the bear head spinning like it isn't actually submitting the info.
