Right? Whenever someone is confused about my dislike of conservatives, they act like I disagree with their tax policies.

Obviously there are bigger things at issue here.

Galaxy buds at work. Bose QC35 at my home desk. And a Dewalt Bluetooth speaker while outside anywhere.

I’ve had the QC35 for more than 5 years now and I love them.

I’ve bought replacement ear pads two or three times now. The top is beginning to fall apart a bit but overall they are holding strong.

The article described our “union boom” as the growth we saw last year. While its awesome to acknowledge our wins, I think its also important to understand the greater context. The last two decades have been rough for unions. Hopefully we can continue this growth and support.

retarded

I knew I’d find vaushites on Lemmy

Edit: lol I was right

How safe is Lemmy?

Overall, I really like Lemmy, and the communities therein. There do seem to be some more radical takes on this platform than I’m used to. I haven’t heard of anyone being swatted or anything like that on here (or even actively doxxed), but there do seem to be more radical takes that what I’m used to on other platforms. I...

I’m used to a good amount of “scary” leftist opinions. But someone on lemmygrad said Pol Pot shooting highly educated people in the head was a good thing - right after I said I was an engineer.

This place is cool but maybe I’ll avoid that instance lol

“Msnbc-lite” obviously

Full disclosure, I have no idea what this is trying to say and it looks like the ramblings of an insane person. But I think some of the conclusions are funny.

Realistically, they are fairly similar. The real crime is saying Hasan is more toxic than Vaush.

Bingo. Probably should’ve made that more clear.

To be clear, this is not my chart. I strongly disagree with like… 95% of it. But news and politics is interesting to me, especially the agendas of the people speaking. So this is really funny to me.

And its not just internet news that has a bias - everything will. Thats fine though, just try to understand the bias.

Fibby,
@Fibby@sh.itjust.works avatar

I think that’s a bit of a stretch. Its entertainment and that’s why I watch it. But even my favorite podcasters are very clearly coming from an angle with their opinions. This isn’t a secret.

Like, I enjoy watching Hasan. But the first show I watched of his was literally called “AgitProp” lol.

Oooohh understood. Yeah that makes sense. I thought you were making a sweeping generalization and I got confused. All good.

The union is a mix of office and field workers. The workplace is forcing “return to work” and “work from home” is no longer an option. The union is split on whether or not to push back.

Fibby,
@Fibby@sh.itjust.works avatar

Basically. The field workers do not want work from home. While they are union members, most are right leaning. They believe in “bootstraps economics”. Hard work deserves good pay and if you don’t get paid enough its because you aren’t working hard enough. People who WFH are lazy and don’t deserve the same benefits. Go into the office and work hard like the rest of us.

I disagree with that mentality, but its what I’m dealing with.

Fibby,
@Fibby@sh.itjust.works avatar

It just feels like an uphill battle. One of the louder members was saying “this is what the bosses decided and we can’t change that. If they told us we have to work 4/10s from now on, we would have to do that too.”

Or “you know the only reason you can work from home was because of covid. And covid is over”.

Absolutely no desire to pushback. Just boot licking. And yes I get this is a minor issue in the grand scheme of things but what the fuck.

The bosses drove a wedge in place by saying some employees who WFH wouldn’t answer their phones while on-call. I believe that was blown out of proportion but its clearly worked to get people back in the office. I fully believe this decision will lose employees and productivity, but I’m fairly powerless in changing anything with the union acting like this.

I’m definitely not exploring new workplaces over this. Its the utility company that gives power to my house. On top of that, its a non-profit, public owned utility competing against neighboring investor owned utilities. I have good reason to want this workplace to succeed.

And while I may disagree with my coworkers in the field, they sort of earn their asshole mentality. They are hard workers. They work a very dangerous job. Our community would not function without their work. So yeah, nothing but respect for the work they do.

Oh fuck. I always thought Zuck=Lizard person stemmed from the complete lack of emotion in his face. And all the other billionaire stereotype shit. Didnt make the antisemitism connection until now.

QAnon leader dies in Rochester after dirt bike accident (www.postbulletin.com)

Michael Protzman, a modern-day Pied Piper and leader of a QAnon cult who led thousands of people into believing a bizarre conspiracy that former president John F. Kennedy and his son John F. Kennedy, Jr., are still alive, has died in Rochester, according to the alternative news outlet VICE News.

I thought QAnon had a bunch of possible “Q” leaders. Like, weren’t a handful of different people considered “the prophet” or some shit?
