“we just want someone who will take abuse for low pay.” - employers

That’s a really old dog

This is why “eye witness testimony” can never be trusted. People with fucked up physiology just tumbling through life and not even realizing that their color wheel is off by magnitudes, and that cilantro is delicious.

Social media is the front of the house.

What destroyed the internet are the cabal of Corporations monetizing every interaction and directing flows from the back of the house.

Unfettered Capitalism killed the internet experience.

Is that what I said, or are you creating your own scenario by cherry picking my response?

I get the sense you just want to be angry about this post and responses in general.

I’d prefer not to have this type of Reddit back and forth, especially given you’re already adding details and reframing my words to fit your narrative.

Best of luck to you.

Strangely combative and leading way to pose your question.

No, not unworthy at all. But there’s also a wide divide between asking questions and actually seeking to understand. It’s been my experience that many people have developed a questioning mechanism to mask/cover their embarrassment or willful ignorance, and those people don’t care at all to learn the root lesson, they simply want to “win” whatever they perceive as an argument. Winning the conflict is more important than learning the new information. And socially, that process becomes exceedingly tedious.

As the quote goes, “I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.”

The fruits rhyme with grapes

Metaphors are hardly a new device. Anyone who knows how to read above an elementary school level should readily understand metaphors and similes.

Just grow the bangs really long like Cousin Itt

Retile the entire ceiling in cats. Look at all those empty spots in your cat-rack.

Capulets and Montagues, but like, way dumber.

I assume this must be what Jolene looked like too

Yeah, but he’s probably in really good shape now. Massive calves

That CRT probably weighs about 200lbs

I really enjoyed the prior Lemmy wherein people led with their expertise, or approached conversation as an opportunity to learn.

This new paradigm of “my emotional impulse is equal to your knowledge” is definitely a decline, imo.

The pandemic frightened the status quo because for the first time in decades the working masses were forced to pause their grind and consider how we live. And the vast majority of people realized they absolutely hate it.

Which is why “the money” immediately began pushing to crack the whip ASAP to get people back in line, back producing surplus value, and back focused only on the myopic necessities of now.

The pandemic should have been a watershed moment for Labor, and maybe it was- but the Trump administration is actively imploding the economy on all sides now, so there’s very little hope for economic upturn in the next few years. We are in a dark time.
