  • Hello, I’m your boss. Saw you on your phone during your break in the video feed.

    You’ve been asking for a raise for years. Unfortunately, you’re a really good performer, always on time, good worker, and I’ve never heard anything negative that I could base my decision to deny your raise on. So I watched the video feed to find the most minuscule thing that I can pinpoint as a “problem”. I was about to tell you that drinking water on the job significantly decreases your performance, but that post you made on your break is now going to be my reason. Screw you. I love money!

    Sincerely, your favorite boss







  • I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.

    And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.

    What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.

    My “favorite neolineral”?

    I’m an entire person, not a single-sided strawman. I edited my reply to also state that I think neolibs suck too, if that helps to unflatten my thoughts on this a bit. And because I think they do.

    I’d also like to add that I’ve seen this image and others like it posted in anti-progressive groups by anti-progressive people, instilling exactly the message I explained earlier. Which is why I say the message either isn’t clear, or just bad.

    I don’t feel like I’m “gasping at straws”. I feel my argument is somewhat reasonable and I hope my point is a little clearer now.

    I have to go back to work now.

    I mean that someone saw hostile architecture and then decided to add a trans flag for political reasons.

    We, as strangers, will never know their exact motivation, but I think if their idea was a message regarding the unfair treatment of economically disadvantaged people, there would be much better ways to communicate the issue that doesn’t involve something that can easily be construed as an anti-trans messaging.

    It’s a bit vibes based, but you know… People ain’t robots, and even if that wasn’t the original intent, that’s how the message comes across. So I’d rather have a better, more poignant one that’s worth repeating, rather than this, perhaps unintentionally, worse one.
