I’m told the mega corp where I work makes people go into the office because the dying town they’re in gives huge tax breaks. So they have people driving an hour in 8 days a month, to work with people that are mostly remote.
Climate criminals. All of them.
I found https://70s-sci-fi-art.ghost.io/walter-molino/ but I couldn’t say if that’s slop or real. The Internet is dead.
I wonder if this was a form of sabotage by an engineer, or regular incompetence
Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.
Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)
Republicans are stupid, shitty, worthless people.
They’re like children who don’t understand cause and effect. Or like a dog that eats a bunch of grass and then is utterly surprised when it throws up later.
I’m always like what did you expect to happen.
If people would just stop using reddit, but alas people will not “just” anything.
Sadly, no. Two ancient laptops (circa 2004, 2008) and a 20-something inch crt with no HDMI.
I have several old but working electronics and I literally haven’t been able to give them away for free. They’re probably going to end up in the eWaste trash. I don’t know if that leads to anything being reclaimed, but probably not.
Side rage: I really doubt what’s his face is actually doing any meaningful r&d work. I assume there’s a legion of nameless engineers and researchers who are not keeping the profits of their work.
The fewer people drive, the better.
I saw someone hit a kid on a bike by Atlantic terminal, and they just drove off. Luckily the kid was fine, because I guess teenagers are indestructible and the car wasn’t going that fast. But that reckless asshole needs consequences.
If you use hyperbolic language when discussing the war crimes that American troops committed in East Asia and explain how that comes back to hurt people in the US. Well, that’s just supporting terrorism.
What portion of US adults are familiar with the My Lai Massacre, would you guess?
I read enough French that I didn’t notice at first, but then I was like “wait that said ride for 2 arrêtes…”, and chuckled.
I remember a lot of conversations that went like
“Why did they do 9/11”
“They hate our freedom!”
“That’s… it? There’s got to be more to it than that”
“Shut up it’s too soon to talk about that stuff”
Interesting. I really need one that does public transit.
Funny how this one has random snippets of French in the UI.
If we can get the tech bros and the anti-vaxxers to destroy each other , that might be a big win
Sure, but there has to be some agency on the part of people. Like, yes they’re victims of propaganda and such, but I don’t want a model where everyone is acted upon and never acts. My wealthy coworkers who just don’t read books are who I’m thinking of. They have ample time and resources to learn more, but it’s easier to just watch anime and play dota.
If you don’t expect them to ever act, then nothing will change and we’ll just be crushed by capitalism and friends forever.
And by act I don’t even mean like go start a revolution, or a mutual aid group, or do anything dramatic. Just spend 20 minutes reading about history. Be curious. Overcome the quagmire of propaganda we’re immersed in. Just for a little bit.
Most people don’t know any history of labor. I barely know anything and I’m interested in the topic. It’s frustrating. I mean, I can accept the ingnorance. That’s natural. But the lack of curiosity is upsetting.
Now, now. The people who would suffer from that kind of violence will be quick to tell you violence is never the answer. You have to move through the systems they built.
I mean theoretically, in a movie sense, if you could compromise IT or leadership , you could then probably issue orders to the field units that are destructive. Like go to a location where you’re waiting to execute them, or tell two squads to go to the same place so they shoot each other.
