A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Shit, how can we turn this into an interesting dystopia?

The Mad Max people had it right, there should be way more mohawks and scrap metal body armor going around.

It is true: "Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia." Or something along those lines.

I dunno if I’d call France a utopia

They removed the guillotine too soon.

[–] MotoAsh 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don't care about others.

Yeah. They definitely got a little guillotine-happy towards the end there. They should have just put it away in the back room, and taken it out on parade for special occasions. As a reminder.

Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk

They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:

"Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You've been warned."

Somehow that sounds worse, like the proverb/curse"may you live in interesting times"

[–] flicker 3 points 5 months ago

"May you live in interesting times" is a double-bladed weapon. Unless you plan on dying shortly.

Make money bets about what will be the next most depressing news.
