We couldn’t use photos of OP for this joke. They all just looked like thumbs with sunglasses, lol.
It’s incredible how afraid the shallow people of the world are. One celebrity openly transitions, and yall can never have a functional thought again without your hate.

Hmmm :( looks like I’m not up to date about some celebrities. No idea that the photos were real and the same person. Mind sharing their name or a link ?
Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.
If it’s the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it’s the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.
Go work a job in a different industry before thinking you have it so tough.
Programmers make more money, have more vacation and free time, and consequently typically have stabler lives, than literally every single other professional industry.
Also their careers grow faster and steadier even in a recession, changing jobs is easier and comes with a significant pay raise each time, and they mostly don’t have to deal with costumers.
Thank god we don’t have to deal with costumers, imagine what outfit you’d have to wear to deal with them. And to make it work you’d probably have to wear make up too, it’d feel like halloween everyday.
Adult here, have plenty of money (and growing) actually. Wish I could easily buy more time with that money, but the system of wage labor mostly just isn’t flexible enough that there are many employers who will agree to “you get a few more weeks of vacation but a few thousand currency units less annual salary”. If I could do that, I would.
I guess in the modern version you’d have the child, then an adult with all bars empty. Then that’s just it because they died before reaching retirement age from stress and poverty related illness
The thing I find interesting about this image is that it oversimplifies the argument (like all internet politics), but contains the definition of the root of the problem from the side opposite that which the author is on.
See we live in a world where our livelihoods are based on us having things to do for income. Maybe someday a fantasy utopia will get built where everybody lives a life of leisure and can spend all their time focusing on what they wish to, but right now that doesn’t exist. So when everything is Made in China that means nothing is made anywhere else which means opportunities for work are reduced everywhere else. This is especially painful for people whose parents were well off because of the industry in the town they lived, only to lose those opportunities because the work went to China.
Now add to that the differences in approach between geopolitical Western and Eastern governments and you have the current argument.
Tik-tok is in the crosshairs because it’s convenient. Western Governments, most particularly the US, like to talk up the Free Market. Woo, Free Market, no government interference yeah! So just reaching out and legislating trade or manufacturing flies in the face of their ideology (not to mention that their campaign contributions might dry up if they piss off the oligarchs who are making big bank by manufacturing in foreign lands). Tik-Tok however, is perfectly situated. It’s run by foreigners who don’t fund political campaigns, and it has a practice that is politically palatable to oppose: Collecting data about Americans and storing that data within the reach of an ideologically different government.
He selected some items, before telling you which menu they were on. Then he told you he really only wanted to know how much they cost if everyone in his party got one. And then he tells you that he wants them delivered in order.
We’ll see how the White House looks after its first millennium and an earth quake. My guess is bulldozed and there’d be a few office buildings and a condominium instead.
