wolframhydroxide comments on How to use PTO

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago* (6 children)

"There is an order to the world" is a phrase uttered only by those enjoying the current order as applicable to them, to someone whom they clearly see is not enjoying the same. It is the taunt of tyrants, slavers, bigots, strike-breakers, fascists, and genocidal maniacs the world over.

Order alone is not an axiomatic good, and anyone who treats it like it is inherently worth protecting, or like an orderly system is an invalid target for criticism solely for being orderly, is either naïve or is experiencing an unbalanced "order" in their favour. I'll let other readers decide which they think you are.

Absolutely an NPC comment. Go ahead. Change the sky to green to show you "can change into whatever". No awareness.

What a sad projection of your own hollowness of self, to say that the very idea of changing corrupt systems of exploitation is synonymous with being incapable of critical thought. I hope you find something to fill that gaping hole in your selfhood.

We may all be nothing but drops in an ocean, but what is any ocean but a multitude of drops? To dare liken the idea of taking a day off of work to turning the sky green is so pitiful, so utterly incomprehensible a strawman, that it can only have come from someone who is, themself, forcibly repressing their own higher thoughts.

Please consider your positions (for it is clear that no consideration has occurred thus far).

Ok Dr. Phil. What a rod. You looked so deep into my soul and told me. You don't do shit for a living and don't understand how having a job works.

Again, nothing but weak polemics. You know nothing of my background. Even a glance at my comment history would have told you what sector I work in, and the last time I covered for a colleague was two days ago. Something tells me that the accusation of "you don't do shit for a living" was just more projection on your part.

Furthermore, it's quite telling that your first thought when fishing for a name that evokes psychological opinions was Phil McGraw. I don't need to have any expertise in the workings of the human mind to identify that red flag.

You are not important enough to my existence to go stalking your comments. I'm having a conversation and I don't agree with you and you had to make it personal because you are a dick. I don't care what you think about me, my family or anything I have to say because your approach is horrible and one of low intelligence.

Do you believe I made it personal when I called you an NPC? Or do you think that happened when I called you a rod, or a dick? Or, perhaps, did I make it personal when I assumed that you didn't do shit for a living? Oh, wait... right... all of those were you, weren't they? What, precisely, have I said about your family, ever?

At every turn, you insult me, while I point out more and more strenuously that you appear to be making statements which are more likely to reflect your own self image and fears. You are either confusing me with someone else in these comments, or you are having a very difficult time with self-reflection. The only thing I have ever said about you, personally, is that you have clearly not considered your own positions, and that it is clear that you realize the weaknesses in your positions and attempt to bolster them by accusing me of being the things you fear yourself to be. If that is making it personal, then I fear you have been talking to the mirror I'm waving in your face, not me. So I will end as I said before:

Please consider your positions more deeply. Taking a day off work that you already told your boss you would be taking off, and for which you have the PTO to take, is not the same as trying to turn the sky green. If your system of thought can't handle that, then it is a bad system, and should be remade.
