Yeah I've pretty much gotten used to it, whenever I hear about human-friendly working conditions, it's never coming from the USA lol. I still hold out hope.
Happy for you regardless. :)

Granted, we're gonna end up with /r/sinkpissers. Lol
All seriousness, there's a lot of neat communities I wish would find their way here. Heck, I wish there was a way to just export the history over so old archived data wasn't lost forever.
U S perspective here.
I keep remembering that oath our armed forces repeat so much: "... To defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
What in the flippin' hell do these bastards gotta do to be considered "domestic enemies"‽
Because apparently directly provoking all our neighbors to attack us out of self defense, or allying with friggin' Putin, along with a million other treasons, aren't qualifying enough? Who over there is gonna actually protect and defend the Constitution and the People of the United States of America?!
Because dammit we haven't lived this frickin long, through countless crises and bullshit, just to get shot or bombed by a Canadian we should've been sharing pancakes and beer with!!!
FULFILL THAT OATH YOU LIKE TO RECITE SO MUCH. OR COUNTLESS INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE OVER ORANGE CALIGULA'S EGO.
The way these "theories" are thrown around these days with such an air of legitimacy is truly terrifying.
This absolute miracle of communication at our fingertips, and it's 99% noise, dangerous noise, vying to worm its way into whatever cracks in the human psyche it can find. At the least harmful, it's persuading ads. And on the other end, people are flying out to go join ISIS or Ruzzia because they got algorithmed into a Facebook group or absorbed enough TikTok radiation.
I miss when the internet "wasn't real life."
Not sure about your upbringing, but I know I also didn't really have the means to do anything truly stupid.
Where'd this kid get the resources to go globe-trotting to a freaking war-embattled fascist state? That's what blows my mind. Someone responsible for him was complicit in his self destruction.
Either extremely impressionable, or maybe had his account handed over after he was pulled off the street and conscripted into a ruzzian meat wave.
Either way, tragic waste of human life, being anywhere near involvement with their military.
Wait til 'e hears about NASA. 🫢
Have you had that lovely experience where some giant camera overhead shows you it's recording your face on the screen as some kind of deterrent?
That deterred me alright. From shopping there.
Man I always hear such good things about Aldi. They started building one near us and I got excited. I was gonna see what the job situation was like because I heard they were kinda based.
Nah. It's reportedly a Taylorist hamster wheel. Unrealistic productivity metrics that, if you really bust your butt, are rewarded with tighter metrics. Sucks, man.
Not sure if convention DM or just has REALLY understanding friends. :D
Absolutely ungovernable!
Imagine that guy being able to reach his own back lol.
