we need some sort of global tax for the rich but governments are incentivised to NOT make it happen.

best option is some sort of support agent work which allows remote, but you need steady hours.

if she really can’t hold steady hours for whatever reason then fiverr is the next best option. or look up things like gaming where you can sell in-game currency or resources for money

This is in nobody’s interest except the shareholders of weapons manufacturers.

You forgot about a country called Ukraine there buddy.

I gotta say, of all the conflicts going on in the world, Ukraine/Russia has got to be the one with the clearest “good” side and “bad” side. Pick another conflict to be edgy about.

“It’s your responsibility to make sure our products aren’t nonsense. All we want to do is to make money off you regardless.”

i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol

Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.

He kind of tried to be responsible/sensible

No, he tried to make someone else the bad guy, and ended up caving in as well.

peasants should just eat less avocado toast, amirite?

didn’t phrase that well, what I meant was when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a beehaw post that less than half the lemmy population can see.

Beehaw has pretty good conversation. I enjoy my discussions on their communities. It also has an extremely low bar for defederation – it’s defederated with even lemmy.world. I don’t like that, would not use that as my home instance.

Haha that’s an instance I haven’t heard about in a while… I personally blocked it because I want to talk to everyone on lemmy, not just half the population when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a post that less than half the lemmy population can see, and they’ve defederated from the largest instances.

And i guess that’s the good thing about the lemmyverse - you decide what level of control you want.

Paraphrasing a common saying… If 100 people can’t pay the bank back, the 100 people have a problem; if 100 million people can’t pay the bank back, the bank has a problem.

i mean, it’s just a few peasants’ lives. who cares? what’s important is that shareholders and the rich can afford their third summer mansion and support yatchs.

bass-ackwards

is this how kids say ass-backwards now, or is this an attempt to avoid the (nonexistent) lemmy profanity filters lol

to be fair the protesters aren’t really helping their own cause.

the last wave of social protests were maybe 5-10 years ago on sexual assault, and back then protesters knew to keep to public spaces. if you demonstrate on the sidewalk or organise a march you’re exercising freedom of speech.

but the new wave of protest organizers didn’t get the memo or something. when you do shit like block off a highway or occupy a privately-held building, you’re fighting on others’ terms. You annoy the heck out of the public, create ill-will, and give law enforcement the excuse of removing you for trespassing.

the fact that guns were fired (along with the fact that so many policemen showed up) is crazy, but removing these protesters was the right move.

they’re all owned by match.com anyway.

I used to make characters look like me, but I found that got boring. And in this age of hyper monetisation and paid costumes it was costing me money. I figured that it was more fun to make an interesting character out of free costumes. And it turns out I like staring at a female character more than a male one.

I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired

I wouldn’t be “gleeful”, but I can definitely see why the company was within their rights to fire you.

This is like those nutbags who shut down a highway to protest the environment or something, then accuse the police of being un-environmental when they’re invariably arrested.

first of all, you lost me when you pointed to reddit.

second, they protested not just within the office, but in the personal office of one of the higher-ups. If you blockaded your CTO’s office as a means of protesting world hunger, I don’t think that would go well for you either.

This is probably the main reason why I don’t use an iphone. I was surprised I had to jailbreak for such a simple functionality when I first got my iphone 4. That was my first and last iphone.
