It’s also full of boot lickers. Had people on my team that were like “oh I’ll just work this weekend to make the deadline” and I’m like why. They made the deadline even though we told them it was too aggressive. You don’t get paid more for hitting it or for putting more hours in. Stop enabling them and devaluing labor.

Executive function.

I don’t know but it seems like a lot of people around me are just in a haze. Probably some of it is ADHD.

Musk is scum and I’m eagerly awaiting the day he’s no longer shitting up the world.

Booleans work in any order. A and B is the same value as B and A

Unless you’re interpreting the phrase as “have your cake and then eat it too”? Which I never did before, but that would make your objections make more sense to me.

Solidarity doesn’t mean they’re all in love and never squabble. But it does mean that they will prioritize their class’ interests, especially if it’s in conflict with labor.

I assume rich people often keep enough shares to control who sits on the board, and thus who is the CEO. There’s a lot of people sitting on multiple boards, folks know each other, blah blah blah.

Also many shareholders aren’t really involved. I don’t even know how it works if you own shares through Vanguard or something. I’ve never been asked to vote on company policy.

From what I’ve seen in start-up land, leadership is a lot of in-group bro times. It’s all gut feel. Shouldn’t expect rational, honest, decisions from them.

The rich have class solidarity. They’re not going to casually fuck each other over like that.

200 is a lot of people for a mud. The only one I know of that’s that big is aardwolf. Which do you play?

Some people need an out-group to hate. That’s it. Everything else is a justification for the good chemical feels they get for subjugating the outsiders.

I memorized my friend’s phone number. It’s because she’s a lawyer, and that seems like a good number to have memorized.

YouTube’s leadership is complicit. Fuck them and their blood soaked hands.

Poor emotional regulation. Poor long term planning. Disregarding facts for emotions.

Conservatives would hate it so it’s probably a good idea

Sometimes.

There’s also digressive victimhood. That’s where someone in a dominant group is accused of wrongdoing, and they claim victimhood on some other axis.

When dominant groups are accused of discrimination against non-dominant groups, they often seek to portray themselves as the victims of discrimination instead. Sometimes, however, members of dominant groups counter accusations of discrimination by invoking victimhood on a new dimension of harm, changing the topic being discussed. Across three studies (N = 3081), we examine two examples of this digressive victimhood – Christian Americans responding to accusations of homophobia by claiming threatened religious liberty, and White Americans responding to accusations of racism by claiming threatened free speech.

Wait, what’s the difference between a Nazi and a conservative? That’s a change in degree not in kind.

“”"

A worker is getting out of his car at the company parking lot when the company owner pulls up in a new sports car.

“Wow,” says the worker. “How did you afford that beauty?”

“I’ll tell you what,” says the owner. “If you work hard, put in some extra hours, hit all our numbers, I can buy another one this quarter.”

“”"

Wage theft is bigger than all other theft. Some people are happy to be a cog in the machine.

Remove as many nazis and nazi sympathizers as I can, probably.

Depends how you define “evil”. And if I was hungry or tired when I got this power.

There’s good odds like every Republican official and donor would go directly into a bad time. Some would say that’s evil.

Other people have more detailed and factual answers, but a good heuristic is “there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in groups for the law to protect but not bind”. That’s what they want. They want to do what they want while women and queers and non-whites are subjugated. They want to say something inappropriate and touch their women coworkers without consent, and know if she raises her voice she’ll be fired.

They are scum.

Maybe? Conservatives are mostly about feelings. The “fuck your feelings” thing was a confession and projection, as most conservative accusations are.
