i found a messed up dude and was tracking his post history and found this from someone else mise_en_place 46 days ago | prev [–] I'm sorry for your situation, but you also have to realize, things are partly your fault. You mention you could be a bouncer at a bar, but you would have to go to the gym to develop enough muscle. And possibly start using chemicals to alter your bone density and muscle mass. In your situation, I'd say you have to go "all in" on something, whatever it is. If you just half rear end it and complain that the world is against you, you will not go anywhere. That's just how it is.

csdvrx 11 minutes ago | prev | next [–] The negative takes bashing capitalism are weird. First, because keys loves summer jobs and pocket money! Also, it can be fun: I fondly remember my first job! It felt nice to start feeling useful and do valuable things instead of just netflix and games. I only wish I could have started earlier, as it also gave me the opportunity to learn many interesting things and increase my skillset. You may want more money, but if you are an adult and already have a job, maybe think about the kids who'd love to get A job and ANY money at all! reply the article in question quote:Minnesota's bill seeks to allow 16- and 17-year-olds to perform construction work. For Iowa's meatpacking industry, it would be 14- and 15-year-olds.

people post them because making a fuss on the internet is the only way of getting customer support if you fall through the cracks. people read them because it kinda feeds into the widespread worry that so much of our lives are in the hands of large companies who don't give a poo poo and can cut you off for any reason or none also i like reading them because figuring out what they're concealing can be a fun mystery puzzle Qwertycoatl fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Mar 16, 2023 |

dsfyu404ed 40 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] The problem is that this sort of "our one size fits all, we know better, peasant" thinking is that while it does reduce abuse by employers that constantly put employees in these situations it also fucks good employers and employees who wind up in these situations rarely and by happenstance and for whom just dealing is the all things considered best solution and the more extreme the rules the more of the latter group they hit. Of course one can always make some useless trite quip about how any situation like that could have been prevented had more resources been invested in preventing it ahead of time but at the scale of an entire economy this becomes stupid and a waste of resources as returns diminish. reply (context: "South Korea U-turns on 69-hour working week after youth backlash")

found a multifaceted rear end in a top hat midoridensha 1 day ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: The emotional toll of caring for research animals There's plenty of research showing what an ecological disaster dogs are (and other pets too, but dogs are the worst by a large margin for various reasons, including body size). Objectively speaking, if you had to choose between a stranger human and all the dogs on Earth, you'd be doing the planet a big favor by choosing to keep the human alive. Of course, humans are an ecological disaster too, but a single human out of 8B is a drop in the ocean, and we're not comparing 1 human to 1 dog. And honestly, I don't see how dogs make anyone's life "easier": they require more care and attention than a toddler, and it never stops until they die. People I know with dogs basically never travel or take any kind of vacation, because they can never leave their dog alone for more than ~8 hours at a time. Any kind of pet is truly a luxury, but dogs require a level of commitment and caretaking well above and beyond almost any other. reply midoridensha 11 hours ago | parent | context | prev | next [–] | on: Live-caption glasses let deaf people read conversa... >It’s cruel and ridiculous to suggest all Deaf people should just learn to lip read. Yet you seem to think everyone is obligated to learn sign language... >Spanish is easy enough to learn for your trip but ASL is too difficult to learn? Spanish is NOT "easy enough to learn"; perhaps some basic phrases for tourists, but certainly not fluency. It takes years to master a new language for most people, if ever. Spanish is relatively easier for English speakers than many other languages, such as Japanese, but it's not something you're going to become conversational in quickly unless you're gifted at language learning. The idea that people are somehow "cruel" and "narrow-minded" for not learning a particular language that isn't the dominant language in their region is the most ridiculous thing I've read all day, and that includes the comments from North Korea supporters here. reply

People with dogs never take a vacation. That's why there's no such thing as the backseat of a car or a friend to petsit for you.

Ironically, if pets prevented people from going on vacations that would probably actually mean they were a huge net benefit to the planet (and in some sense saving the life of a human would probably be the worst thing you could do if that person might end up having children in the future) So maybe that comment is only lame babby level misanthropy mystes fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Mar 16, 2023 |

surgical_fire 2 hours ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: Brazilian researchers find 'terrifying' plastic rocks on remote island There's some beauty on it. Nature incorporates our garbage, and it becomes part of nature. It might kill us, but then new creatures will evolve and grow, with plastic being part of their ecosystem, perhaps even desirable. In million years the future civilization of these creatures might have "plastic preservation programs" because the old plastic rocks are a finite resource upon witch their culture was built. They might even gaze upon their plastic-filled oceans in awe, with some quasi-religious gratitude for the ancient race that gracefully filled the world with plastic that they might thrive. reply who's to say if the ecological impact of plastics is good or bad? we will simply never know.
