Not only women, but yes that is how they see it

That’s where the laws come in. I don’t agree that recording and biometric information on people should be legally protected, unless you ask for permission first.
Well yeah, one of them involves standing up to corpos and the other one would require actually talking to your kids, and conservatives are nothing if not cowardly, so
My dad has been that guy! We sure ate a lottt of Silver Wok during that time 😋
Yeah if investors can’t make cartoonish returns for doing literally nothing what’s even the point of gouging customers??
People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!
Yeah then at least everyone gets paid, and the workers walk away with a shitload of free pies!!
I think people miss an important point in these selloffs. It’s not just the raw text that’s valuable, but the minute interactions between networks of users people.
Like the timings between replies and how vote counts affect not just engagement, but the tone of replies, and their conversion rate.
I’ve could imagine a sort of “script” running for months, haunting your every move across the internet, constantly running personalised little a/b tests, until a tactic is found to part you from your money.
I mean this tech exists now, but it’s fairly “dumb.” But it’s not hard to see how AI will make it much more pernicious.
I’ll speak more plainly. No, It’s not a conspiracy, it’s an ideology
An ideology which serves the owners and is propagated by they and us, for reasons both cynical and genuine. But ultimately, I believe, serves the owners best.
Well that’s where we disagree then
Man I’d be so mad if I’d built up a sweet severance, only to have to quit for better work
Hell yeah!
I don’t see any reason to bring conspiracies into it, it’s just the way people are socialised to think of poorer workers as inferior, or workers with the most perks as the “betters.” I’m not accusing you of this, but it’s a part of the same dividing principle outlined in the op.
Like I’m sitting at 6 figures fucking around on my phone while someone fixes my dishwasher downstairs, so I’m feeling the privilege intensely atm. I recognise there are real, material differences between individual workers.
However when talking about class specifically, I think it’s very important that we don’t muddy the waters between workers.
I think that’s what’s got people (myself included) riled up by your comment.
I read your comment, but I disagree that pointing to a common working class is “kind of silly.” It does not erase anything else you said. It’s just one category.
The point is we all sell our labour for money, and we can never stop doing that - not how much money we get in exchange for our labour.
I’m definitely working class
.
I’m very comfortable
These are not mutually exclusive. We can acknowledge our privilege but still recognise that we are in solidarity (or should be) with those who have fewer privileges.
No one is saying you’re the same, and certainly not the same in every way except class.
It’s like me saying that both myself and Sid Meier are both millennials does not mean we’re in every other category together.
Hell yeah. I think it was Spyro – anyway, some psx game – that had to literally go through the source code and declare integers like i
outside of loops, so they could be reused. All so the game would fit on disc.
I recently started jogging through this long, dark trail that hosts a nearby homeless encampment, and honestly didn’t think about it at all until my partner raised her eyebrow at where I was jogging. Just one of those little patriarchy taxes that I don’t have to pay.
Not that unhoused people are particularly dangerous or anything, but still you’re less certain if you’re going to meet someone on a really bad day there
