I know several magahats in my family that are having doubts, not because of anything Harris said.

I think this debate was an unequivocal victory but I’m still telling everyone I know to vote

The media is owned by rich old white men that would gladly accept fascism for lower taxes. It’s that simple.

A good free resource is NAMI, google them for your area, you can talk to someone free who has training on these kinds of things. They might not be able to directly help you, but they will point you in the direction of those who can.

Don’t give up, skeleton!

To be honest, WFH for me means that if they need me to fill an hour in extra or so per day, then that’s kind of already costed in with travel times.

I’ve pulled 14 hour shifts covering for PTO or sick days and it really doesn’t feel even half as exhausting as a normal in-office 8 hours.

I dunno man, they’re really happy with the work life balance and the C-suites are happy with their productivity.

It’s funny even our sales and logistics departments are wfh, and the only people I ever see on the off chance I need to load a tape rack or something is security and building maintenance.

And we’ve been RIDICULOUSLY profitable all through covid. In fact covid only served to show the remaining staff how productive WFH is.

We are making so much money rn that they don’t even CARE about property costs and they leave the lights and AC on 24/7 for maybe 2 people in the entire site, and our 3 satellite sites are just as empty.

Sure there may be some A type salesbro personalities that need to be around others to work effectively, the largely spectrum oriented development community needs no such frippery.

I work at one of the top ten data processors in the world.

ALL of our devs have been WFH since 2014 and produce better work now than ever.

I fully get you the world is nuts right now. I just don’t want you making a permanent decision to solve a problem that may only turn out to be temporary.

I’ve been shit on and underemployed my entire life due to the way I was born so I get the pain and desperation and I’ve been down very similar dark paths in the past. I mean I’m not trying to compare, right now your pain ins objectively the most immediate and imminent.

And I wish I had better solutions for you, the ones I found might not work for others and I wouldn’t exactly call myself ‘thriving’ but I get by better than a lot of people in this wealth divided country.

Maybe I can offer better insight if you detail more of what’s going on. I’m not a crisis counselor but I’ve lived through enough crises that I know to use the word ‘crises’, so that has to count for something. You really sound in a stuck place, tell me about your rocks if you feel up to it. You can even PM me if you prefer.

Firefox for most things, but I keep a copy of Vivaldi installed because sometimes my firefox setup breaks capcha.

haha my sister lives so far out in the sticks that you can see the milky way clearly and the rent around her is still 1.3k+ for a ROOM

And all the love you’ll never want

If you are serious and then you have nothing to lose: Look up adversarial occupation.

Squat in a rich dudes house long enough and its yours. Might be fun to try.

Because it works and wastes our time.

Yes and that’s wonderful and everywhere should implement it.

But they won’t.

Because people are fundamentally assholes. Just California has a lower quotient due to higher education (though hollywood does skew that a bunch too)

Dude, read the room. We are in the era of the oligarch.

MOST money will go to the clueless rich who do not need it and we will continue to slide into french revolution levels of wealth gap.

In foster care we were part of the free lunch program. The first week in my first high school the lunch lady made it a point to call us all up first so EVERYONE knew who the ‘poors’ were. This was in one of the top 5 most expensive zipcodes in the U.S.

For the next four years I ate knowledge in the library for lunch.

My uncle: “AIN’T NO BROWN KID EVER GONNA EAT ON MY DIME DODGAMMIT!”

He and all his friends are voting, you should too.

Trans rights are human rights, working class are human.

Yes I ate the onion but I know well meaning ‘progressives’ like this and they infuriate me

I’d love that, my entire frontpage is the same 30 things over and over unless I deliberately sort for something then it’s a DIFFERENT 30 things over and over
