Couldn't be more correct. The absolute best thing you can do is create a support group around yourself, and the best/easiest way to do that is unionizing. Your coworkers are people who you relate to and have similar issues with - same asshole boss, same shitty workplace, similar shitty wages. You don't have to be friends, but you do need to be teammates and stand together against people who want to prevent you from working together both at and outside of work.

Capitalism as a whole is almost always incompatible with anarchy, at least in the way we tend to do it now.

That last part is really important. Many anarchists, socialists, and whatnot recognize that capitalism can be fine. It's just that humans really suck at doing capitalism, we keep doing pseudo-feudalism instead

Time Warpers, it's an incremental first person shooter. Honestly, I don't think I'd recommend it unless you're really into incremental games

I don't use it often, I will admit. But as a night shift worker, it has definitely saved me a lot of struggle.

This last month I've gotten quite a bit of use out of voicemails, between apartment hunting and some big purchases for my workplace

Weaponized procrastination, I like it

Running into a similar issue at work. My department is full of great workers, but my management is absolute dogshit so they're wasting a ton of potential.

I had to stick my neck out for a girl who almost got fired because I was the only one who realized that she was calling out so much because no one has so much as thought about her in 6 months, let alone trained her to do anything.

After sticking my neck out, they've been a bit better about training in general and as it turns out, this girl has several years of experience with the machinery we use. But no one knew, so she's not been allowed to touch any of it until last week

Like the other person said, beta software is expected to go through pretty large design changes. It's not a matter of "forcing it on the user" it's a matter of "my software isn't ready yet, I'm not certain what my vision is, and if you're not willing to put up with me figuring out what I want out of this software then wait for it to release and I'll keep it stable from there"

This has always been a strange thing for me. All of my peers starting getting spam calls around middle/high school, but I never did. To this day, I hardly get any spam calls. And when I say hardly, I mean like... I genuinely think the total number of spam calls I've gotten since turning 18 is less than 50 at most.

So, I leave my voicemail on. Because I know that damn near every time I get a voicemail, I know why I got it. I know that person/company and they're calling me because I asked them to

Out of curiosity, do you get many spam calls?

No human has ever used it

TIL I'm not human. I wonder what path life has taken you that you've never been thankful for a voicemail. Granted, I'm annoyed by them more often, but I've definitely had a few good voicemails

I don't see Linux phones being viable for the average person for a long time

Which is really so sad isn't it? The whole thing is so modular it would really just take one dev team a few months to at least get the ball rolling if they had the investment but... It's just not instantly profitable enough for anyone to bother putting the initial money in

Saved. Will be swapping to Graphene as soon as I get a new phone, and that work/personal thing is about to be a life saver for all these garbage apps I'm forced to have installed

Fridge: You're not gonna like my answer lol

AITB - Am I The Bot

It's AITA posts and the commenters have to determine if it's AI drivel or human made

I didn't assert it. In fact, I very intentionally used passive language to avoid asserting it as a truth. I said "I think there are... That claim to be"

I didn't say "Russia claims to be communist" or the likes.

I specifically phrased it that way to communicate that that was my understanding and not necessarily the truth. Then, someone told me my understanding was wrong and I corrected it. Then you came along, doing whatever this is.

I was humble about it. I publicly admitted that I was a victim of propaganda and adjusted the way I acted going forward.

You're right that I probably could have put a other moment of thought into it before hitting post and I probably would have googled it and then changed it. Which is exactly what someone else has already pointed out to me and I've already done. So you're repeating them, and bringing no value to the conversation.

(I also said it out loud for a bit before commenting lmao I love this "argument")

Counterargument:

You can say them, sure, but let's be slightly less theoretical about this, the word care has one vowel, but two noises. First you make a "k" sound for the c, then an "air" sound for the are. When we extending the noise, we extend the entire "air" rather than any individual noise that any of those letters make.

My argument is thus:

"Caaare," "Carrre," "Careee" and "Caaarrreee" all, when written, communicate to me that the "air" sound is being extended. None of these denote that the noise assigned to the letter in use is being extended despite their initial appearance to do so. Therefore, all three are valid spellings of the extended version of the word care.

My reasoning:

Definitions come from the way we use words, that's how Shakespeare got away with inventing so many words. He said or wrote them and then a bunch of people heard or read them and thought "yeah that collection of noises is acceptable to explain this feeling/object/concept/etc". Therefore, written words are only an indicator of meaning and not an actual reference point for information (if you're into computer science that phrasing will make sense, if not... Well I hope you're into computer science cause it's gonna take a me a while to figure out how to rephrase that in a way that makes more sense for what I'm trying to say). As a result, multiple spellings of the same spoken word may be valid because they're still capable of indicating the same meaning.

Okay, let's break down a few things here. I said

A few countries claim to be communist... Russia

[In 2018 I read propaganda that Russia still claimed to be communist] (paraphrased)

I then recognized that I was affected by propaganda and changed my tune. Then, several hours after I had already realized my mistake and changed my behavior, you came and started verbally abusing me for having misspoken in the first place due to my lack of knowledge. Again, I've already been educated and changed my behavior.

What value do you believe that your comments brought by being abusive after someone had already recognized their biases and changed them? Do you believe you are helping to further change my beliefs or do you feel like you might just be pushing a wedge between two people who actually agree for no reason?

One would be wrong

Are you willing to test that?

Which version of the "a" sound are you extending, long or short? I believe it's neither, because you're actually extending the "are" sound to make the "air" noise instead of "ay" or "ah" therefore, extending all three letters or any individual letter is valid

It's been a minute since I set up my steam deck, is it not possible to get into desktop mode without signing into a steam account?
