Wheeee posted:the perfect worker is the one who does the least possible amount of work while not being fired I can't claim to be perfect but I'm refining this technique every single day. I've managed to avoid doing any real work for years now and although sometimes it's very stressful, it's all been worth it.

BULBASAUR posted:I wanna read those. Do you have a link? It's one of the many things I learned in an A/T thread, so I don't really have all the details. I did however, know that I could ask in the thread for more information, so here you are, crossposted here. bewbies posted:"Time on the Cross" is the seminal work on the subject; I'm honestly not sure what if any worthwhile scholarship has been done since then (I'm sure it has but I'm not familiar with it). It is focused almost entirely on the antebellum American south and not earlier periods so I'm not sure if this would even meet your needs. Spoiler: slavery was hugely profitable, and slaves had an incredibly high ROI. While it's a bit hyperbolic to compare that with modern wage employment at inhumane companies, there are similar strategies at work. I wonder what the return of investment actually is at these companies for their employees. So much of the futurist nonsense that goes around acts like human employees are an impediment more than anything else, but if that were true these giant companies that rely on them wouldn't be giant companies.

But if you aren't a productive hard worker, how will you get raises and promotions? kidding obviously, the meritocracy is a lie

Well I mean let's do it. Best case scenario is the fires stop and I can breathe again during summer. Or I'll just end up dead and that's cool too.

In that vein, there's a theory on countering global warming by spewing sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to block UV radiation at a similar rate to the greenhouse effect retaining it. It may have unintended side effects, but as things worsen, our options shrink. At least it'd be some attempt to take responsibility for the planet.

the problems this would create would be exactly those predicted by global warming, except also the crops all die. then the effects dissipate just in time for global warming to come back and cause the problems again. lmao.
