Also shoplifting guides do exist out there on the internet. Last I heard Walmart was a bit higher difficulty.

Oh shit, hell yeah

I jokingly threatened to install Hannah Montanna Linux on my wife’s windows gaming rig, and she said she wouldn’t be mad.

If only that version wasn’t deprecated.

Yes, that reduced the quantity but does not eliminate it.

Some of them do. Some of them are children, and some of them are financially trapped.

My family keeps and uses toothbrushes at the kitchen sink, because when I was growing up I didn’t want to get poop particles from the toilet on my toothbrush.

The rest of my family just kind of followed along.

“Dies by suicide” is a euphemism for murdered.

IMO the easier and more effective argument is that the state should not have the right to kill people.

The people that are in favor of the death penalty is usually conservatives. And they tend to be more easily convinced against something if you can attach “big government” to the concept. It’s not a guarantee, they’ve got plenty of room for double think, but it’s a bit better than appealing to empathy.

Conservatives in general struggle with empathy, and so even if somehow forced to watch an execution they probably would be glad that the prisoner is suffering.

The state should not have the power to kill people because it will invariably be used to kill innocents and silence political opposition.

Sounds like an opportunity to combine then.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I don’t think it’s inherently bad, just that it has a tendency to be owned by the rich, who are inherently bad.

I think that’s slightly different, as artists that were good people typically means there message is good.

Esentially:

The bad/evil artists are clearly going to be the worst of these options. There messaging will typically match (ex: Ed Sheeran’s neutrality on genocide).

But for artists who are good people we should generally expect the opposite. The ownership may be in the hands of bad people because they’re dead, but the message will likely be better than the alternative, which is a point of distinction.

Also I think it’s worth noting that artists that are good people would be more likely to have their estate go to a good cause.

why does it matter if someone else (presumably not bad) would profit off of it?

I don’t think that’s a fair assumption. The people with the kind of money able to buy the rights to art tend to be the rich.

And you don’t get rich by being good.

So it’s worth saying, they absolutely shot themselves in the foot with the renovations thing. It unequivocally proved that they were ok with my WFH when it suited them, but not when it suited me. I think it was a big part of them eventually caving. Not knowing your situation, it may be a bit harder.

With that said, there is still hope. For me they kept trying to push an ineffective accommodation. No matter how many times they brought it up I kept on pointing out that it would have been ineffective, and they are by law required to give an accommodation that is effective if one exists.

So at a certain point it became a game of attrition. I needed the accommodation or I would have suffered immeasurably, so I couldn’t back out. They couldn’t drop the conversation because HR is required to provide a resolution. So in the end they just got tired of dealing with me and caved.

Also, it’s worth quoting from the EEOC if you’re in the U.S. like me. All of their stuff here just straight up says “employers should not be doing [thing that my employer was doing]”

Here are some examples of the resources they have:

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/work-hometelework-reasonable-accommodation

Still went over your head.

The amount of Palestinians that exist right now is the number of Palestinians that exists right now. The amount of Palestinians 9 months ago is equal to the number of Palestinians 9 months ago. You’re failing to understand that the comparison here is death type not population capitas.

Apparently not, because the population of Palestinians will always equal the population of Palestinians no matter what. You didn’t think through this.

That’s some bullshit.

Current estimates are at about 76,000 dead from Isreal’s genocide, a third of which are children. There is not 76,000 dead queer Palestinians who’ve died at the hands of other Palestinians in the last 3 years.

This is a braindead take that a 5 second Google search could solve.

I’ve been in a very similar boat, and it fucking sucks.

When I first started my current job, it was supposed to be 50% remote, 50% in person. I was very much struggling with it, but made it about 6 months before the company shut down the office for renovations.

It was shut down for a year and a half, and we were expected to be in person 2 days a month for the one section of the building that was still open.

I was absolutely thriving for that year and a half. But it had its limit and eventually the renovations finished up. They called everyone back to the office. Worse, some employees weren’t meeting the quota so they opted to punish everybody by moving to a 4 day in person, 1 day remote setup.

It was absolute hell for me because of my OCD. I just can’t pay the mental cost of being outside nearly every day, even before the coercive nature of work.

So I tried getting a reasonable accommodation through HR and those bastards fought me at every step. It took them 3 months of lying through their teeth to finally give me a remote working accommodation.

So for the first time in too long of a time I feel like I’m actually me again. Fuck the corporations.

I can’t remember the exact examples, but Farscape had a decent few in it.

I want to be chased
