WtfEvenIsExistence , in Huh, this looks like a popular post. Imma check the comments and...

What the fuck did you just fucking type about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids with Anonymous, and I have over 300 confirmed DDoSes. I am trained in online trolling and I’m the top hacker in the entire world. You are nothing to me but just another virus host. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Internet, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with typing that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we chat over Lemmy I am tracing your IP with my damn bare hands so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your computer. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Hold the phone, folks! Looks like we’ve got the ultimate keyboard commando here, armed with a degree in “Top-Secret Internet Intimidation” from the School of Pixelated Bravado. I’m genuinely in awe of your prowess in DDoS dance moves and your extensive hacking resume. Did you know they teach “Tracing IPs with Bare Hands 101” there? I’m not sure if it’s more impressive or terrifying.

You know, there’s something oddly inspiring about your passionate monologue of digital doom. It’s like watching a master chef prepare a soufflé with a flamethrower – unconventional, but you can’t help but admire the dedication.

I can’t help but wonder, in the heat of your impending online apocalypse, do you plan to unleash an army of malware minions or just summon the mighty Blue Screen of Death? Your commitment to imaginative chaos is truly commendable.

However, might I suggest we channel this creative energy into a friendlier arena? Let’s conquer the digital world with laughter instead of threats. After all, the pixels we share today might just be the start of a legendary meme saga. Keep typing, intrepid warrior!

One party is actively banning books…

And that’s just the tip of their Christofascist iceberg.

whenigrowup356 ,

Primary for democrats and then yell at them once they’re elected. A lot.

Politics isn’t a consumption based economy. It doesn’t change until you change it. MAGA people understand this.

They’re counting on your apathy. Don’t let them.

3rd party

Bloods and Crips will keep being distractions from real change in the long term.

AnyProgressIsGood ,

Third party is voting for the fascist party. There aren’t enough floating votes for this system for a 3rd party to have a chance

azimir ,

Ranked Choice Voting (fairvote.org) or any other preference polling voting system significantly mitigates that problem.

Then 3rd party can be a real strength for the political system, not just a weapon to use against your opponents.

nga105 , in I like the interface, and have been a user of the reddit version for years...

F that noise. I’m here and active because Sync came out, and I’ve become used to its interface over the years. I’ll eventually try the other FLOSS apps but I’m here learning and enjoying first.

OceanSoap ,

Yeah, op, don’t feel shamed about using sync, it’s a great app that’s worth using. I use it. Lots of us use it. The hate is a knee-jerk reflex to the sudden influx of excited reddit sync users who have migrated to lemmy and talked a lot about sync. I think FOSS users were expecting a FOSS-type option and were shocked when that wasn’t the case. Then you also had users who were just mad that it would cost more to be used here than it was on reddit.

No one hates you for using sync.

aquinteros , in Since we're railing on corporate America...

it’s not just europe, I live in Latin America we have 3+ weeks of payed time off, the us job market is the weirdo

beto ,
@beto@lemmy.studio avatar

You hire more people.

Tb0n3 ,

Sounds like one of those bullshit jobs. The further you get from actually making something the less valuable skilled workers are to production.

hdnsmbt ,

If the same job can be done by more people working fewer hours it’s a “bullshit job”? Elaborate.

Have you heard about shifts? I hear they’re all the rage in production.

Riplikash ,

Productivity and profits have steadily risen for decades while wages have hours worked have increased.

So business obviously were able to survive and thrive with more employees taking a larger slice of the profits. The businesses would be able to operate just fine.

Obi ,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

The meme is clearly exaggerating for comedic effect. Standard is 4 to 6 weeks PTO across Europe.

andthenthreemore ,
@andthenthreemore@startrek.website avatar

Exactly. And the exaggeration is the same for the American part, I’m sure that even an American would take a whole half day off for kidney surgery.

ludwig ,

Almost everyone has vacation in the summer (winter is cold and shit) so most office work slows down heavily during a few weeks and then picks up again during and after August…

Retail and stuff like that is obviously different.

Tb0n3 ,

Took my 3 weeks in July. It worked out well because our suppliers also slowed down significantly. The huge amounts of vacation the memes and braggarts claim just seemed ridiculous.

ludwig ,

It was exaggerated for comedic effect.

Here we get 25 days (5 work weeks) each year by law. Some get more; I don’t know the average amount of days. Apparently you get 28 days if you don’t get overtime compensation.

In general 4 consecutive weeks are used during the summer months.

You also get paid more during vacation, for some reason.

All other EU countries have a minimum of 20 paid days.

Oneobi ,

I’ve always found the term Paid Time Off as a degenerative term. Like they are doing you some kind of favour.

It’s a holiday, please kill that PTO term.

Strykker ,

The pto thing is because most office/tech jobs let you take unpaid time off too. Just means you won’t make your full salary for the year based on the number of unpaid days you take.

Oneobi ,

The fact that’s also a thing blows my mind.

We don’t have that option here. Between the holidays and things like special leave, I’ve never been not paid for taking time off.

You can take a years unpaid career break which is kinda cool as your job is guaranteed when you return.

Strykker ,

Yeah it’s pretty shit. Since some places they only offer 1 or 2 weeks vacation a year if you want a longer one you end up needing to take the unpaid time off.

Oneobi ,

I don’t even know how anyone copes with that. I get 30 days plus public holidays.

I may not have strong opinions but I make a lot of observations.

Titan , in The US of A

Can’t fathom that Americans aren’t bothered enough by this

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I’ve seen Palestinian crowds chanting “Death to all Jews.” The gangrape of that reporter started by one dude in crowd deciding she’s a Jew and therefore fair game. A flash mob realizing a car is in the wrong neighborhood and immediately trying to kill them. Random rocket attacks on civilians foiled only by tech that costs 100x the weapons it defends against.

I’m not saying Israel is justified, or they aren’t on their way to outright fascism, or they don’t get some murder and torture in on their own.

I’m saying violence is a perpetual suffering machine that in this case is too late to solve, but we’re forgetting the British started it all, let’s invade England and execute the monarchy.

BanthaFood ,

Oh I think you misunderstood some things there. I see a israeli security minister that is a straight up a right wing extremist. I see that cars from Palestinians can’t enter certain regions in order for them to not get into the “wrong” neighbourhoods. And most importantly of all I see journalists killed by the IDF. Imagine you are oppressed by a apartheid state that was put onto your land by some imperialistic force, but then expands even further into “your” territorry and surpresses you. I do NOT condone the actions by the Hamas. But when Palestinians see violence as the only way out I can see why.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

And now you’re an Israeli who sees a radical Palestinian and says to themselves “well fuck these guys too then.”

You see how this works? I don’t feel like the cycle of violence is a new observation. I feel like you should already know one side being bad doesn’t make the other good.

BanthaFood ,

Yeah thing is that the gov of Israel is the source of the “cycle”. They create facts by building Israeli settlements on Palestinian territories and say “Welp guess you can’t live there any longer”, they commit warcrimes by falsely stating that they won’t attack, then airstrike, keep normal civilian Palestinians in the world’s largest open air prisons and only continue to strengthen their grip on the Palestinian people.

Israel is the only party that can actually stop the violence. If the Hamas would stop their attacks it wouldn’t mean that the Palestinians will be treated equal to Israelis by the state. That’s like saying Ukrainians should stop defending their territory cuz they only prolong the suffering that way.

And for most Israelis it’s sadly “fuck the Palestinians” and not “specifically fuck the actually radical Palestinians” thanks to rigorous propaganda.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

When Israel was broadly behaving like they didn’t have a wannabe fascist dictator obsessed with an Israeli Manifest Destiny as PM it didn’t stop Hamas either. Do you think if Netanyahu goes to prison where he belongs they’ll suddenly accept the two state solution?

Because as it is only Fatah seems willing to accept that, and they’re hemorrhaging support.

Titan ,

I’ve seen Palestinian crowds chanting “Death to all Jews.”

Yeah no shit. That’s a natural reaction to jewish people suddenly invading their country and killing their families. Try harder

DragonTypeWyvern ,

“It’s completely normal to scream for genocide. No, obviously Israel doesn’t get the same benefit in this multi-generational conflict caused by outside sources.”

And you great minds wonder why people assume being anti-Israel is just hidden anti-Semitism lol

Titan ,

You’re really asking for nuance from people who have just seen their homes and family members get blown to bits… Jfc get real

DragonTypeWyvern ,

“Nuance”

Sure bro, real big nuance to not advocate for genocide.

Titan ,

You expect an essay from a group of people chanting in the streets? Lol

drzoidberg ,
@drzoidberg@lemmy.world avatar

Are we gonna include school shooting deaths in those vacancies? Because for some absolutely unknown reason American schools suffer from mysterious shooting deaths multiple times a year. It’s so strange and mysterious and there is absolutely no way to stop it. Like, there is literally nothing to do about all the school shootings every single year for the last few decades.

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

It’s kinda like when you filter reviews and everything is either 5 stars or 1 stars. Most people will only comment if they feel strongly about something and unfortunately we live in an outrage culture, so the majority of interactions will be negative. Very rarely will someone put the effort to reply to something they feel ambivalent towards

sgbrain7 ,

I’ve noticed that. Everything’s become so black-and-white and lacking in nuance that people feel like they absolutely must fit into one box or the other. ugh

BigNote , in Since we're railing on corporate America...

Man, a lot of you Americans need to unionize. None of this happens at my work and it’s precisely because we’re unionized and have a contract that specifically says that our employer is bound by strict rules. Granted, we don’t get a month paid vacation, but we can’t be denied time off, can’t be compelled to be on call, can’t be forced to work overtime and we have PTO accounts, healthcare and a pension that get paid into on a weekly basis.

Torvum ,

We try and then it’s taken over by corrupt lazy union bosses that don’t actually help or the company just fires you under an at will employment lie and hires scabs. The government has essentially been infiltrated by corporate American to pass legislation allowing them to break unions easier. Lobbying is our problem, not the lack of unions atm.

Over half of Congress would be indicted on corruption if we really gave a shit about threats to our society like the current political theatre claims.

banneryear1868 ,

It’s nice to see the latest upswing in labor actions in the US, but the labor movement isn’t what it used to be that’s for sure. Even the way the history of labor is taught now is completely whitewashed and decoupled from any notion of class conflict. Take the history of civil right’s organizers for instance and the connection with labor, MLK is the big one but also Randolph, the famous “I Have A Dream” speech at the March on Washington (“-for Jobs and Labor” is usually left out of the title nowadays.) Also the Jim Crow order is purely seen as a racist order, which is accurate, but the means by which it was designed to deal with the Populists in the late 19th century because of the threat they were as a political force. It’s even in the culture war shit that goes on now, Bud Light for instance, none of that “conversation” ever touched on the fact they were basically forced to first hire queer people because of Teamsters labor pressure and gay bar boycotting their beer.

I think the militant conflicts like Harlan country are pretty well known but again it’s like the class notions are removed in today’s recollections and how it’s taught. It’s focused on some individuals who wanted better wages vs the bad guy running the mine, not about the inherent conflicts between these workers and the owners by design of the economic system, and how that still pervades today. It’s seen as something from the past.

BigNote ,

That’s objectively bullshit that is given the lie by the fact that unionized workers, on average, are far better paid and have much better benefits than their non-union equivalents.

You clearly know next to nothing about union organizing and are spouting a bunch of bullshit disinformation that’s been fed to you by big money interests.

Is that your fault? No, not really. You’ve been fed a metric shitload of bullshit all your life and you have never been told the truth and as such can’t be blamed for your ignorance.

The truth is that under the NLRB --and the Biden NLRB is the most labor-friendly in living history-- you have the right to organize and cannot legally be fired for doing so and if you are, you have grounds for a lawsuit that plenty of non-profit attorneys will help you prosecute on principle.

Batman ,

Just to fight against the hive mind that America is a uniform hell scape. People from my team routinely dip with only a few days notice for vacations and sometimes because they feel like they need a day off.

Frankly I don’t take my PTO but that’s more of a personal problem than my work’s. I was a workaholic through college because frankly I’m not outstandingly smart, and I don’t feel comfortable taking it now. It’s a mental problem that I wish didn’t get minimized so often here.
