    My boss is a member of a different industry’s union and participated in their (admittedly milquetoast) strike a few months ago.

    I’m still really cagey and both my coworkers and different flavoured chuds. The Christian one appreciates my knowledge of comparative religion, since everyone else seems to be a “rationalist” that actively avoids knowing anything about religion.

          Boot-bros are the worst kind of techbros. I’ve known a few in college that went on to work directly for the military-industrial complex, and they were giddy about doing imperialism.
