It’s been proven over and over remote work retains top talent and makes people better at their work. And the “productivity loss” is covered by the fact that people maybe get less done in eight hours, but work longer to make up for the productivity they lost to taking more breaks.
But American capitalism has to remind the workers that their misery is part of the point.
Don’t forget! Half of white med students polled in a study thought people with Black skin feel less pain than people with white skin.
HALF.
MED STUDENTS.
Just…how.
I mean, I get what both of you are saying, but I’d argue that the phrase “power corrupts” still applies here.
It’s a feedback loop of being above the law that feeds into these police gangs (like the one in Texas, I believe, that were called because “two black men are staying with a white woman.” The gang went over and sexually assaulted and then pulled the trigger of a gun they shoved in one of the two guys’ mouth. They literally pulled the “let’s sprinkle a little crack on ‘em and get out of here” move. They said it was a drug deal gone wrong—yes, they planted drugs.)
These guys push each other to test the limits of their power abuse further and further. Just like 4chan users tried to one-up each other’s shocking memes and shit, these groups of cops try to out-“badass” each other.
So I do think that their power plays a part in this. Of course the power didn’t make them racist pedophiles, but—especially in Germany, they got a taste of getting away with things people never get away with, and they explore those things. In Germany, sharing and displaying swastikas is illegal. So, I think the taste of untouchability that comes with being a cop definitely fed into their sharing and espousing these views.

Boys: is checking your email basically drugs?
I’m in NYC and was watching this unfold on tv at the gym. I was wondering what I was missing, my train stops at 14th/union. I was thinking we were doing something good and I should run down there.
Then I read it was for a goddamn streamer and…just walked on the treadmill.

Yeah, even when I’ve had the urge to check Reddit for something I’m trying to figure out, I will do everything I can to avoid it. And if I can’t, I try to determine how much I care about what I’m searching before I even give them a single click. It’s a small, insignificant protest, but it’s a forever protest, for me. I’m happy on lemmy, I don’t browse as much, I interqct with more of the community and want to help build it. On Reddit, I felt dirty because of everything they’ve been doing the last 5 or so years. Tencent, killing third party apps slowly and then in one fell swoop, etc. fuck ‘em
He subtle bob the builder face on Jack the Ripper is a brilliant touch
Lol take it easy, bruv. It was clearly a joke
A lot of the time, zoos are more like fundraisers and rehabilitation facilities. I don’t know the actual rate, but most modern zoos operate this way, if I’m not mistaken. I haven’t looked it up in a while, but I remember reading that a while back.
