Sounds like they’re masto toots?

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

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??

I thought this instance was nice! That is weird

People will be laid off
Spoils will be enjoyed
This great economy… it will endure
The working class will survive!

Probably for faster loading times when playing games on the hardware during off peak hours jk jk lol

I like it. I’m just waiting for someone to bring it up as a mark against our instance somehow

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.

Are you a Vulcan? O_o

Either way you have my thanks. Greatest utility value as well as greatest hilarity value!

Oh my god someone finally fell for it! Please don’t edit your comment, you just made my day

I’ll speak more plainly. No, It’s not a conspiracy, it’s an ideology

Hey that’s my combi too!

?

I’d probably use my own niche text editor

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

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.
