When I say politics I include things like struggles with inflation and laws that harm you and global warming and working conditions and much more. I think that it’s good to engage thoughtfully with the people we surround ourselves with

I think many workplaces function better when workers are able to develop camaraderie by talking and joking about things that aren’t strictly related to work

I think some politics is healthy to talk about in certain work situations. Definitely not the red vs blue tribal nonsense, but discussing and understanding material conditions

None at all, no sick, no holiday, no federal holiday, absolutely no PTO. If I don’t go in I simply don’t get paid.

You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

Critical thinking is a skill that requires teaching and practice. If children are not given that preparation they won’t have that skill in adulthood. That’s why authoritarian governments care so much about controlling and/or limiting access to proper education.

I used to feel more suicidal. Nowadays I think if I was feeling like I truly wanted to do that, I would want to take an oligarch with me

Honestly this is a great joke but also could legitimately be a good service for someone who didn’t feel safe walking alone, or needs help navigating

Can you take a picture of something that would show you’re in NK that has no duplicate on the internet?

No, it’s not wrong. But you’re not allowed to take truly replenishing time off in this capitalist system. It’s not just unfair, it’s unsustainable and it’s on the way to collapsing. Hopefully we can create a better system in the rubble. Until then, don’t let it break you.

If you’re in the states, new cars are legally required to have a screen for the back up camera.

The “vaccines are planting microchips” crowd is not going to like this

We do have the technology for this… right?

I don’t think it really answers your question. But I have been blocking every AI comm that comes up on my feed. Except for c/fuckai

The other commenter is correct, I think you’d prefer a gift economy
