This is true but you have to remember that management is stupid. Stupid and cruel, but mostly stupid.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Dont give into the rent-based economic system we find ourselves inEnglish
3·6 days agoI mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)
This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.
I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.
They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I’d keep working on stuff. But they’d rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

4·7 days agoAh that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

52·7 days agobuying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.
i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.
I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.
With dial up, it felt like it was working. It was trying its best.
Now it feels like it’s bogged down with ads and tracking and bots.
People don’t think too good when they’re emotional, so this would be very effective.

World News@lemmy.world•Brexit explained in a single tootEnglish
61·17 days agoThere’s this consistent line through modern history: right wing ideas are bad. It keeps happening. Right wing politicians have power, they do stuff, and it goes badly for most people. And then, somehow, few people learn, not enough decide “hurting the outgroup isn’t worth my own suffering”, and they get elected again.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Virginia becomes first Southern state to mandate paid family and medical leave for workersEnglish
2·19 days agoFucking idiots can’t see the whole picture. Don’t understand economies of scale.
From what I’ve been reading about it in “dying of whiteness” it’s not that they don’t understand. They understand. Conservatives just don’t want the outgroups (eg: black people) to benefit. That’s it. They’d rather die themselves.
It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.

9·19 days agoUnfortunately there is a large contingent of people who would literally rather die than have their out-group have something nice like public transit. (It’s conservative whites)
I started reading “dying of whiteness” and it’s infuriating

2·21 days agoThat doesn’t sound much different than a traditional vaccine, unless you can self administer it
Clearly a world class nit picker and champion of missing the point.
Go on. What’s your point here? That saying “women like shopping” isn’t an old sexist trope because some women do? Would you then say that {outgroup} are lazy because some are?
Are you not a native speaker?
lol women love shopping
But they do?
What do you think that meant? Did you somehow not read it as a generalization?
Few statements predicated on “All women” are true. The same goes for many other subcategories of people.
Now that you pointed it out, I see the single shirt hanging in the last two panels. My first read of the comic was also “lol women love shopping” trash humor.
