The fuck?

Honestly this should be the tagline if truth and action is really what's needed from the populace. "We'll take care of the big stuff, but for the small stuff you're on your own." Back in the WWII days people did much more.. take a look at victory gardens as an example. We're very accustomed to getting what we need easily and I don't think it's a bad thing to remind people that can change.

And esp now b/c Patrick Stewart is in it

So for voting, pretty much anyone MAGA hates should get a checkbox. Got it.

Oh there's most certainly something personal between them. He's just too much of a gentleman to say so, unlike our narcissistic nit-wit.

That's what i thought too. The dentist informed me otherwise.

I found out to my detriment that that Oral-B is SO good that it actually brushes away your gums at the gumline. Imagine me, thinking that getting blood while using it meant I needed to clean my gums better. I use Sonicare now.

I don't think this news surprises anyone. (well it shouldn't at least) Don't connect your tvs to the internet ever peoples!

The weak-minded often punch things that they don't understand. There's nothing wrong with Gen-Z that life experience won't eventually fix...

Just like it was with every single human of every single generation in history.

It's doing things like handywork around other people's houses, babysitting, errand-running, walking dogs, driving people to appointments, all paid in cash at the time of service. It's hard to make that work steady enough to live on, but it can be done!

The funny part is how romantic it seems..all the free time you'll have, right? Then when you start you realize that every other breathing moment is you trying to find more of that work to do because you need more money.

And sure, culture is a thing that is just as crushing as your boss. We all answer to someone, eventually.

Oh I definitely agree that the ethics involved are problematic, no question. And I also agree with the premise that we need strong unions for our own protection against that predatory behavior!

But working for the man is, in fact, optional. You can start your own business, be a gig worker, or just be an under-the table helping hand for cash. Having done those things myself, though, has taught me they are often feast or famine arrangements.. so in the end I too am working for the man, simply because it's steady pay.

Edit to add that AI is obviously an unknown factor in this equation. It's good at its niche tasks but terrible at others, and if you want one that actually has all the capabilities of a regular worker, it's going to be expensive. Several companies are just finding out after they fucked around. I wouldn't count us out yet.
