I see consequences of this in my workplace weirdly enough. There’s been a huge brain drain in recent years that was accelerated through the pandemic, and then again by egregious financial mismanagement by leadership that really fucked us and of course the workers at the bottom all paid for it.

Training materials were last updated like 15 years ago, the systems we use have all undergone massive changes rendering those completely useless. Everyone’s crunched because we have less employees, and the new employees all need to be really baby sat and have things explained to them, because there’s no other way for them to gain the knowledge how to do their jobs other than having one of the few employees who are still here to walk them through these things and take on the role of teacher and full time tutor while still managing their increasing workload.

It fucking sucks ass and of course all the older employees are jaded and bitter about it, but its become this self perpetuating cycle of incompetence, crunch, and catch up because no one wants/has the capacity now to put in the work in up front to get some sort of training materials set up for new workers - but that just means that same work will end up being done in a much more frustrating and crushing way of constantly dealing with simple mistakes.

This was kinda a tangent, but the problem and solution are so obvious - but there’s no collective will to try and improve this for all of us to make our lives simpler, so people end up instead becoming so bitter and resentful of each other rather than the fucks who refuse to address this issue above us. And I get it - its so fucking frustrating dealing with this shit and having it grind you down in the context of a workplace, of course people want to be like “fuck this I’m just hanging around until I’m stable enough to fuck off somewhere better.”

I see this same shit playing out in society with people having the same attitude. I don’t know what to do about it, and I don’t like it. I do my part trying to build solidarity, but fuck me if it ain’t a one way street that ends up feeling like wasted effort most of the time.

Aww shit I just started season 2 after finally watching season 1 all the way through, and Dr. Not-Beverly-Crusher has already annoyed me with the smug. I guess I’ll strap in for this season.

And a bunch of people here seem to adamantly judge people with idiotic metrics based on nothing.>

Its explained pretty well in the OP image actually. It’s a metric of selflessness, doing a simple task with no reward purely for the convenience/order of others.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument. On this article about a 14 year old child being gifted a gun.

In the context of child development though? Nah lol. This is a very unserious argument.

Comparing a gun to a musical instrument is peak American lmao

The Xbox 360 controller wireless adpater was a pretty big piece of shit 70% of the time.

Look guys, you don’t need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.

Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of “uR sTeaLiNg!!”, give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.

This is super helpful, thanks for this!

Give me a fucking break, man fuck Texas. All my homies hate Texas

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are left to die in the streets every day right now, what’s your point?

This is a bad argument, and you know it was. Referring to a group who identify with political beliefs, at their own discretion, as that group, is not the same as “othering” based on ethnic or sexual traits that are predetermined. No where close.

You’ve got the persecution complex and the narrow self interested mindset down, so I believe you when you say people claim that. I didn’t though.

Clearly a public school education failed you. You speaking is a better advertisement for the voucher program than any point you tried to make.

Its a shame idiots like you can be weaponized against a better educated populace.

Windows 10 when I made the switch last summer. A full year now on EndeavorOS and I’ll never go back.
