They say don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I feel what you mean by internalized work ethic and defrauding someone however the alternative here is busting your ass so the company can see 0.1% growth or whatever meaningless number. All my favorite jobs have been where I do the least. Keeps the mind free of bullshit, at least for me

Kinda on a Sci-Fi binge again. Anyone got some gems they wanna recommend or maybe some classics I overlooked?
I drove for a few of them for awhile and they're so sleazy in so many ways. Like they partnered with both car and rental companies and try to get so many people further indebted by enticing them with terrible offers for leasing cars or renting them. They also are opening up their own line of credit cards and shit now. They want their hands into every aspect of the drivers lives to pidgin hole them into being extremely dependent on them for something that is marketed as "independent contractor" and "be your own boss" garbage
All while they can deactivate you over customer lies and pretty much any reason they see fit. Or just automated errors even
I had an '84 Toyota sr5 as my first car and it fuckin ruled. I only got rid of it cause I needed better gas mileage but I gave it to a family member who still uses it today as a ranch truck-- so it gets used hard. Still going strong at over 280k miles. It's a beast and was so easy to work on, extremely easy even for inexperienced person who is willing to watch some youtube videos
Margaret Antwood shut the fuck up challenge. What successful civil rights movements ever worked by asking nicely of their oppressors? like really, it makes zero sense. It also reminds me of when bigots say shit like, "oh i don't mind the gays but i just don't want them rubbing it in my face." Meanwhile hetero shit is fucking EVERYWHERE, you cannot escape it, especially in media.

Thought autonomous vehicles were the near future? Have you considered exploiting workers virtually instead?
(hexbear.net)
Obviously this has some glaring flaws on the surface level, but I'm just sitting here wondering which lucky so called "third world" country gets the first contract to virtually drive American streets for a dollar an hour. Oops, internet lagged a bit, and your uber driver just drove into the delta, sorry bud.
This also can potentially skirt an immense amount of labor laws, and since big tech looooooves to "disrupt" things I have zero faith in its safety. https://www.fastcompany.com/90653650/halo-driverless-car-sharing-service

As the Vietnam War raged in 1969, John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono held two week-long Bed-ins for Peace, one at the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam and one at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, each of which were intended to be nonviolent protests against wars, and experimental tests of new ways to promote peace. The idea is derived from a "sit-in", in which a group of protesters remains seated in front of or within an establishment until they are evicted, arrested, or their demands are met
They spent their honeymoon in the presidential suite (Room 702) at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel for a week between March 25 and 31, inviting the world's press into their hotel room every day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
:lmayo:
During April 1969, Lennon and Ono sent acorns to the heads of state in various countries around the world in hopes that they would plant them as a symbol of peace.
I could keep posting funny shit from this article but it would just be be whole wiki page
Last edit: funny interview with some asshole RW cartoonist during the "bed-in" https://youtu.be/iYxFO8o-t2E

Tom MacDonald Lyrics "Snowflakes"
spoiler
If you lie to the government they'll put you in prison But when they lie to all of us it's called being a politician You think taking guns away will save our kids from the killings But your pro-choice abortion kills way more children If America's so terrible and racist It probably isn't safe to encourage immigration, just saying All the contradictions are embarrassing You know who hates America the most? Americans Trigger warnings used to be on TV for seizures And now they're everywhere to protect millennials' feelings He, she, his, him, hers, them, they Screw a pronoun, 'cause everyone's a r----d these days I hear 'em preaching at a protest that hatred's the problem But hating straight men, white folks, and Christians is common Coca Cola telling people they should be less white They preaching tolerance but if you disagree, they fight There's a race war here, elections based on fear Black lives only matter once every four years Soldiers died for this country and every one of us benefits Give welfare to the bums and forget about the veterans Black folks and white folks divided by the news But we're all the same, we are red, white, and blue Ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool 'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you tooY'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa-oh You can't make us see it your way, no way, gasoline and propane More flames, oh no No more snowflakes
They set us up to fail, that's what they built the system for Put an ammunition shop across the street from a liquor store Empowering women used to be different than this before The role models got OnlyFans or dance on a stripper pole Screw it, I ain't tripping, I don't mean to be mean But if our children are the future then our future is bleak They take an Adderall to focus, hit McDonald's to eat They're addicted to phones and they take Xanax to sleep They blurred the lines dividing communism and democracy In 2021 we paint the patriots as Nazis The men playing women's sports get trophies for winning Like great, let's celebrate a man for beating some women If you're black, your life matters, you're supposed to embrace it If you're rich or you're smart then you're probably Asian If you're gay then you're brave, all of that I'm okay with But if you're white, the stereotype is you are a racist Blaming capitalism like that's the reason things are tough While you tweet from an iPhone and sip on a Starbucks You're supporting what you stand against you don't think you are but A Percocet addict don't donate money to pharma Damn dog, we're all afraid to speak the truth And the more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do You're ashamed to be American, okay that's cool 'Cause honestly, we are all ashamed of you too
Y'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa-oh You can't make us see it your way, no way, gasoline and propane More flames, oh no No more snowflakes
We could all get along but there's no stopping, ay Everybody's wrong, that's a real problem, ay They don't wanna hear it but they still talking, ay Soon enough we running outta options, ay This ain't gonna end till it's in a coffin, ay We ain't gon' be friends till we try to squash it, ay I don't know how we can make amends or we drop it Snowflakes melt when it's hot, kid
Y'all are so fake, oh no The forecast said that there'd be snowflakes, whoa-oh You can't make us see it your way, no way, gasoline and propane More flames, oh no No more snowflakes
fair enough points. i just saw another video of a bunch of cops demolishing a bunch of tents and it really fuckin pissed me off, it's just absurd to me how they can think they're doing anything but being horrible
they were fuckin smiling as someone pleaded with them to let them get their stuff after it was already in a garbage truck. just infuriating

"You did a racism. You did an imperialism. You did a nationalism. You did a xenophobia. You did a white fragility. You did a weak apology. You did no growth. This makes it abundantly clear you don't understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of your offenses"

this is not serious btw. i like probably half the movies listed. maybe it serious then idk
nah i haven't even heard of it, ill check it out thanks
