Probably made by the bosses point person who is a minimum wage worker that considers themself a temporarily embarrassed $15/h bootlicker

From there, rice, in the 90s-00s, referred to the Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement: typically bolted onto Honda and Toyota, it moved from that to any cosmetic car customization 10s.

Thatcher's "there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families" worked for killing unions so why not stretch it to justifying imperialism?

I don't have any relevant experience so just thinking out loud here. Is some way to platform the voices of "clients" with pro-union sentiment to really drive though the point that the strike is ultimately for the benefit of the clients as much as for the workers and build solidarity on that axis?

It's because you are just poking at the metaphor without engaging with the actual idea.

The master's "tools" are methods of subjugation that are incompatible with liberation.

Saying that you are going to just use the master's killdozer to destroy the house is the same argumentative approach as liberals who see that comic of people standing on boxes to look over a fence and responding "they shouldn't be allowed to see the game without a ticket anyway".

It's just what cars look like when they are designed for functionality rather than as a statement about the owner's masculinity.

There are two doors, one is labelled "Leopards that will eat your face" the other "Cat cafe" both lead into the same leopard cage.

There ought to be one of those quipy laws to the effect of "assume any acronym other than the name of an organization is a retronym until proven otherwise.

This is true and people should always be mindful of this. Additionally you should consider not just the ownership of the companies but also the infrastructure they rely on such as their rented servers, payment processors, on-site staff etc. However commercial VPNs remain a convenient compromise for many use cases. These services are probably fine for your shitposing needs but should not be relied upon for activism for instance.

Notice that despite the presence of many people who grew up with and use the metric system none are complaining about how hard it was to intuit metric units?

If you stop telling people what they should find intuitive for a moment and actually listen to people telling you about their experiences then you might find that this is not an issue.
