Not even just income, health insurance and future job prospects as well 🙃

I have the money to quit and wander the world for a year or two, but I would be abandoning my health insurance and it would be a huge black mark on my resume assuming I didn’t concoct some lie to cover it.

If you work a 9-5 in America like I do, you are tied to your labor in much the same way serfs were, you are just better compensated and can switch masters if you find someone to take you on

A single congressional district within that state elected Marjorie Taylor Greene lol

Come on dog this is literally just ‘yeah well what if we imagine a hypothetical world where MY argument is right, how about that?’

Plus starmer’s gov would probably do something similar lol the man is a red Tory through and through

Tell me the world isn’t a better place if elon is sent to work in a lithium mine for the next decade

It’s nice to reflect on how as a little kid I went and saw episodes 2 and 3 in theaters and thought the Jedi were so freaking cool man - then coming back to the series 20 years later having developed politics and realize the Jedi are pretty blatantly a corrupt, listless, doomed-by-its-own-inadequacy organization starting at the top.

Palpatine/fascism are the bad guys but the Jedi are certainly not the good guys, in a way that went ten miles over my head at the time lol. These movies deserve more credit imo

Is that the one who has seven wives or whatever even though that’s supposed to be not allowed?

You can see him struggling with the “they touch you, but not the other way around” rule 😅

Don’t worry if they did invent this, it would never be made available to me or you

What’s it going to take to do something about these ultra rich assholes

Let’s be honest the only answer is [redacted], they effectively own the government in the US and it’s not much better in Europe

What if we all just didn’t go in? They gonna fire everyone?

And they can sell the office too (good luck lmao), we are doing the company a service 😌

The amount of people who believe themselves and their interests safe from the totalizing influence of these companies really breaks my mind.

Threads when isolated from this community: STILL NOT GOOD

Defederating is something at least. But in reality like all societal problems stemming from late stage capitalism, the only true answers are extremely illegal

As a soon to be 30 yr old this reminds me of the internet I grew up loving lol, feels just the right amount of old school to me

Companies don’t even care beyond bare minimum for the labor that they pay why would they care about the labor they don’t lol

Going to the bottom of the atlantic in a pringles can is a pretty baller way to do it to yourself too.

Charging a quarter mil to do it to others is decidedly not baller 😞

Or compare it to yet another innocuous bs fee slipped in under the radar by companies testing what they can get away with

I was messing around with this like sub warfare simulator game a while back and I blew up a whale with a torpedo because it showed up on my sonobuoy network as an unidentified contact 😅

Plus imagine being the poor coast guard team that has to crack that sucker open after they finally found and raised it 🤢

I was always a rif guy but I’ve seen so many posts here about sync, seems like a lot of people loved it. Being about to reply to a comment from my inbox, or at least navigate to where its at in the thread, would be a nice upgrade!

You fuckin know it lmao I was just reading on Twitter how they’re sending up a c-130 and some special military submersible to help with the search. Who’s paying for that? 🤷🏻‍♂️
