Oh yes! This actually happened to me multiple times. Typically it was something about how unions result in lower pay or would not represent my interests.

Of course that’s all BS! You only have to use your brain a little. For example, even if they’re not perfect representatives, who else then is going to represent you? Yourself? You don’t stand a chance against a large business.

The costs of union fees was a sticking point, and it’s easy to waive that in front of somebody’s face when it’s harder to measure the impact of your union fighting for fair pay and blocking exploitation. The counter argument is that not all benefits are easily quantifiable. Negotiated raises are just part of the total compensation, and the stated pay numbers you’d get without unions in the world are made up because you can claim whatever you want about something that is not the case.

Was the food good though?

For me, it was that protesting was only ever discussed as peaceful, civil activity, as was a way of communicating demands outside of the voting cycle.

Unionization and workers rights were never discussed. I didn’t learn about unions as a concept until nearly graduation when my first job had so much required training about how dangerous they were, and of course I assumed they were full of it and did my own investigation.

Oh this one is real bad. Fantastic.

Thank you for not making this a literal shit post. It could easily have gone that way.

The facial expressions are fantastic. And of course it would be Pinkie.

It’s okay I installed FreeBSD the other day and it still crashes.

This is some damn good married life.

Extra credit for actual shit post.

They used to sell little turtles at the mall when I was growing up. I’m glad they don’t do that anymore. It seemed a little bit cruel.

Just stack the new mattress on top of the old one. Problem solved.

I used one of these tools and I remember a Windows update just putting it back anyway.

But then you find out, and you learn, and we become better users for it.

The economic situation is complex.

I, too, can also make up big numbers.

230,000!

I CAN EAT THESE!

It’s an accurate name. The company has explicitly told us that they are a slop-first cloud company.

I hate AI. I’ll take an amateur photo or drawing before something generated by a robot every time.

And now for your local on the 8s.

This is perfect!!

Hey, I’ll still give it a listen tonight after work!
