Then get behind the people doing 4 WFH jobs. Use GOOD examples to further this idea. Not people blatantly perpetrating fraud and acting like they're heros. We need strong cases, not ones easily broken down and dismissed. This case is too easily in favor of the employers. Is capitalism shit? Sure. But you're literal job is to be available during those hours. Hiding the fact that you're doing another job using company time and resources, is fraud, plain and simple. If you didn't think it was fraud, would you have hidden it?
Read the actual articles detailing what they did. It was fraud. If you legit think this is ok, then you are advocating for lying and cheating to get what you want, which, I dunno, I thought that was EXACTLY what you despised about the capitalists.
So funny how the oppressed always wants to become the oppressor. You're not arguing for a better world, just one where you "get yours".
Well Fargo fired people for working a second job ON COMPANY TIME, USING COMPANY RESOURCES AND COMPUTERS.
THIS IS FRAUD.
They abso-fucking-lutely deserved this. Don't get behind this story and act like it's employers being shitty when it was employees faking working their main job using mouse/keyboard idlers to work a second job during time they were being paid by the first job for, using resources provided by the first job.
Work 2 jobs separately? Big whoop. Being paid for your time to do a job and you do a completely different job in that time using your employers resources? Hell, be glad they didn't sue you.
Get behind real issues, not this. This just makes you look like the reddit anti work mod who got interviewed and complained that they couldn't support themselves as a dog walker for 2 hours a week. It makes YOU look unreasonable.
You realize many guns can be made full auto just by filling down or replacing a single part and the spring, right? It's been an issue for DECADES. This law was just reactionary legislation and didn't actually impact mass shootings. It being gone doesn't really change anything other than one less law to enforce.
Does America have a gun problem? Yes. Does it have an ass backwards bureaucracy problem? Also yes.
Honestly, I feel like being a Luddite and everytime someone shows art from now on, critique the ever loving hell out of their process.
"Did you make the brushes yourself from sheep you raised? Did you grind the pigments from plants you grew yourself?"
Art is amazing, but artists are some of the most delicate people. Their entire career is, in a way, a showcase of themselves, and if you take any part of that away from them or judge it, they become incredibly hostile and take it deeply personally. But literally the same kind of criticisms they're making now are taught in art history about previous advancements. It's just the same fragile egos afraid that they're not as special anymore.
Fyi, math and science is philosophy. Science is how philosophy started to actually get answers to the questions it was asking(the scientific method) and math is one of the languages it did it through. The Cult of Pythagoras was a group that believed all answers could be found through numbers and math.
While I get the desire for outrage and backlash, a generous reading of what he said would be something like "In the past, making music meant needing access to numerous instruments and equipment. Today, you can create the same kind of music with a cheap PC and some programs."
He's not attacking creativity or saying your time isn't valuable. He's saying the barrier to entry has dropped dramatically to the point that almost anyone that wants to create content, can.
Look at any medium and notice the wide array of tools now available to the average person. You can do Photoshop and video effects using entirely free programs for the most part. Or paying a fraction of what you'd have paid in the past for less features.
Under that reading, he's absolutely correct.
But yeah, Spotify sucks, I get that. They don't pay creators fairly. Absolutely. Don't disagree with that.
Blame the raking of the leaves. No leaves in fall means no place for the eggs to be laid and no place for the larvae to grow. It's another casualty to grass lawns. A "clean" nature is a place where nothing has room to thrive.
The people who claim that voting will solve our problems. You know, like all the Dems saying "well you have to vote!". If we were in a functional healthy democracy, sure. In this current farce? Nah. That's just feeding the slow deline of our nation. Will it possibly let Nazi Trump win? Sure. But we're already in a corporate oligarchy anyways, we might as well throw the mask off and admit to it. Trump winning is the least of our problems when the Tree of Liberty is already diseased and rotting away.
We can either keep the current system on life support and keep the farce going for a few more elections/decades, or we can pull the plug and admit that the system as it is today has failed and needs to be reworked.
But go ahead, act like "voting for the lesser of two evils"(which has been a thing for decades now) really matters and is enacting any real change.
Remind me again how many of our basic rights keep getting swept away? And before you start the usual "well it's the Republicans fault!" speil, consider if they would be able to do the same bullshit if the democratic party had any real teeth and didn't just roll over conveniently every time. We have words for that: accomplices and enablers.
The system is rotten to the core and until we admit that, we aren't going anywheres. It's a prisoners dilemma and we're all fighting for our self comfort instead of the greater good.
Mass protests. Civil disobedience. The kinda of things that ended slavery and helped raise women's rights. The things we used to do instead of sitting down and just taking it. Look at the French: they stage months/years long protests. Now check their labor laws and compare it to the US. Where would you rather work?
It's not going to end until people accept that this change won't be easy and won't happen taking the easy way. It's going to be a shit ton of uphill battles. But that's the only way to take power back from the oppressors: you demand it.
You think Biden could keep his course of actions up if a large percentage of citizens were out on the streets protesting? I'm asking you to hold your elected representatives accountable. And if they arent doing as they should, you should damn well make it known. Not go "well, he's not gonna do what I want, but he's not a Nazi". DONT ROLL OVER AND TAKE IT.
Do you realize how much you can slow the government down just by calling your representatives? Even if you don't talk to them, every secretary and assistant taking calls instead of doing other things slows them down. Keep calling. Don't stop. Send in letters. Show up to meetings whenever possible. Be visible and make your voice heard.
But remember, we're still supposed to vote for Biden even though his own cabinet members have lost faith in him. Because otherwise we get Nazi Trump.
Remind me again, is this what a functional, healthy, democracy looks like? The institutions that form our "political parties" are rotten to the core. The ideals don't need to die, but the corrupt groups who stifle actual change and progress need to.
If you don't know the answer is bad, which confident idiots spouting off on reddit and being upvoted into infinity has proven is common, then you won't refine your search. You'll just accept the bad answer and move on.
Your logic doesn't follow. If someone doesn't know the answer and are searching for it, they likely won't be able to tell if the answer is correct. We literally already have that problem with misinformation. And what sounds more confident than an AI?
All these people "rediscovering" old tech like we didn't abandon it for a reason. No, I don't want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that's 100x more powerful for $120.
