Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it's so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it's a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.

preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still

What a bootlicker comment. "You don't need to be drug tested if you don't want to, just be prepared to leave most jobs on the spot losing any job stability and never have health insurance. No big deal" How's the leather taste?

My last job didn't test, the one prior didn't, and my current one doesn't. Job stability is as stable as being able to get hired, and I pay for health insurance like everyone else. My Jordan's are like yours, so neither of us wear leather.

I'm not American. I don't get drug tested. I don't pay for health insurance. I think the whole concept is insane, I'm surprised that your reaction is to accept the system and work within it as if it's fine without even acknowledging the inherent insanity.

I understand the confusion now, good for you! Be grateful you're not here! I think the concept is insane too and I don't accept it for what it is, but that doesn't change what adults have to do. Unless you're the do-what-you-want gov-dodging tax-evasion-suggesting riot-in-the-street kind of player. Just because someone is not happy with the systems in place does not mean they cannot take actions within it in a calm manner.
