bioemerl , to Work Reform in Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence

Nobody is "coming" for anyone here.

I'm happy to see Hollywood fail because I don't like Hollywood. It needs to shatter and media needs to be produced by a more diverse set of areas across the country and not be in the hands of Disney and the screen actors/writers guild.

I'm happy to see these strikes from women fail because they're demanding an end to the wage gap (aka, they want to work less and get paid the same) and yet even more draconian "safety" laws.

I wish the auto workers the best, but their cars suck and they should all be out of business.

A rising tide lifts all boats but Hollywood sucks and these strikes for equal pay want me to make the same money as them despite the fact I do more work.

I wish the auto unions the best through.

That's why I started my comment with "I've"

bioemerl , to Work Reform in Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence

This is the third big strike I've seen and been like "wow this wouldn't effect me at all".

Hollywood? I'd rather it go out of business.

American Auto Union? Anyone buying American cars is a dumbass.

And for this one....

Household chores? I do all those myself.

Schools? No kids.

Hospitals? Not sick.

Maybe retail workers and pharmacists. They'd have to strike on a weekend though.

And broadly I'd benefit greatly from half the labor market dropping out. Keep on striking. Never stop.

bioemerl , to Work Reform in An Introduction To Class Warfare For The Software Engineer

That's a fair point, and it's possible we see software continue to take off but only in those sectors where it's contributing to something like factory productivity.

bioemerl , to Work Reform in An Introduction To Class Warfare For The Software Engineer

The answer, my friend, is class warfare

The answer is that you were working at an overhyped over inflated company that was hiring too many people on the back of incredibly low interest rates, you weren't providing any real actual productive value, and the economic correction has forced you to leave the big tech companies and go to the various banks and other institutions that have had severely dilapidated software for decades for your contributions will actually boost the economy and help people's lives.

I have next to zero empathy for these software developers who were running around making 100k while committing code like twice a day which these big tech companies were absolutely filled the brim with and probably still have tons of.

You're rolled the hype train and you got burned, you made your good money well it was still in low interest rate hike mode and now you need to get out and do something else.

Expect life to get even harder, because we don't even need these programmers right now, not as much as we need people out there building homes and working in factories. Expect your pay to stagnate until being a construction worker looks more lucrative than your current job, and your job comes more and more into competition with an excess of people going into computer science because that's where the money is, or that's where it was 10 years ago.

Old plantations now serve as prisons for a reason

This is getting facepalm worthy. I'll bet you're saying this because like 10 prisons were built on former plantation land.

black activists do directly compare

You're a lost cause if you don't see the many gaping issues with reasoning like this. Go ask vegans if meat eating is slavery and they'll say yes as well. Of course they do. They're activists.

bioemerl , to Politics in Separation of Powers: a primer for our "friends" from hexbear.

To compare prisons and the institutions of slavery is absurd and silly.

Prison labor deserves criticism, but to act like slavery is still a thing because of that is just you intentionally blowing the situation out of the water.

bioemerl , to Politics in Separation of Powers: a primer for our "friends" from hexbear.

Given that slavery was outlawed, colonization largely brought to an end around the world, and leaps and bounds have been made in terms of our treatment of minority groups in general, I'm pretty sure the current system is going a damn good job.

Look into proletarian democracy

Yeah, that's a fancy word for "Marxist authoritarianism"

bioemerl , to RedditMigration in Reddit threatens the mods of r/CyberpunkGame (the main subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077). Mods decide to go down in a blaze of glory, whole sub agrees.

Reddit is going to need a couple more GPT bots to handle that one

bioemerl , to RedditMigration in Inside Reddit's path to an IPO, where employees see 'thrash' from constant pivots and say more managers may leave amid a flattening

I would love to see reddit succeed, but at the end of the day they have chosen to close of valuable user created information to the internet and declared they they alone possess the right to sell the stuff you freely contribute.

They are shitbags and the company deserves to burn. Bring back forums.

bioemerl , to RedditMigration in Reddit seems to be scrambling behind the scenes to try and limit the effects of the migration. Damage control: ChatGPT bots are spamming pro-admin, astroturfed comments

Jesus Christ, do we have a good reason to believe that this was the admins and not some other random third-party group just deciding to do this for shits and giggles?

Because on one hand yeah I could totally see red it doing this after all of their other stupid mistakes so far.

On the other hand this seems really strange to me and it just seems so insane to think that Reddit would even think of doing this.

bioemerl , to RedditMigration in 3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st

he’d “be a slaver rather than a slave”

Wouldn't you if you were given that decision and it was even or?

It's a stupid world to you because it's never either or, but people like spez rarely have the tact to think that far.
