Oof, I didn’t even notice this was a hexbear post. Continue being your awful selves, ta-ta!

You can’t say glip-glop! That’s their word!

They’ve been extremists since at least the 60s, does this writer live under a rock?

Edit: Also, why does this sub censor swears? Who does that help? What a shitty mod team.

Edit2: Oh so they only censor the B word. Great job on the consistency removed mods

There’s an episode of South Park where they go to the writing offices of Family Guy for whatever reason, and instead of actual writers, they have an aquarium tank full of manatees and plastic balls with words on them.

The manatees would bring the balls to the top of the tank, few at a time, and the staff would use the words on the balls as prompts for their new jokes/episodes.

The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.

The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only ‘poster’ is a ‘news’ bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).

At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the ‘news’ bot, there’s next-to-nothing there.

I mean, would you call this post ‘content’? It’s just low-effort, non-discussion-provoking, nothingness about a platform that nobody around here cares about anymore (except you apparently?)

An old Mionix Zibal 60. I need to replace the switch on the F2 key cause the peg broke off (still usable but it can’t have a keycap now). Thing’s awesome, and heavy enough to kill a man (one advertising point was: “rage proof” lol). I’ve had it almost a decade and I don’t think I’ll ever move on from it.

“one political party in particular”

CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS. Don’t sugarcoat it, CALL THEM OUT BY NAME. Otherwise they’ll just pretend it’s not them and do their damndest to act like they’ve done nothing wrong.

Even the ones who aren’t actively protesting on behalf of the conservatives are still voting for conservatives, who end up making the claims that they can never produce sufficient evidence for.

Even more depressing when you think about how, overtime is extra money that they’re losing by making you work.

At my job (pizza place, so maybe bad example), we have effectively only 2 night time managers, which means at the end of the week, whoever has the most hours goes home first, so that franchisee doesn’t have to pay the extra money.

“so why not just close early if it costs owner too much to pay you?”

Well, because. Just because, that’s all. Last time I cut orders at 5-or-10-to-close, the next day our owner (who I usually only see twice a year for MAYBE 20mins) came in and said I’d be fired if it happened again.

People with money don’t give a single fraction of a flying freaky fuck about their employees. Unfortunately for me, I work in one of the (ten poorest) states in the US that enforces ‘right-to-work’ laws, which I recently learned, don’t mean that you have the right to work, but instead means my employer is under no legal or contractual obligation to recognize, let alone pay Union fees.

Unionizing isn’t illegal, but good luck finding anybody that will do anything pro-union in one of those places.

Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬

Inb4 “stfu millennial” or something? 🤔
