current versions of the firefox mobile app dont let you install non-approved addons (which ublock and any adblocker will never be) and will disable them permanently if you had them in a previous update its dogshit, just use newpipe instead of the youtube app

Shame Boy posted:The best paying job to have going by the average salary is unsurprisingly surgeons, followed by gynecologists/obstetricians, generic "doctors", psychiatrists, nurse anesthetists, dentists, family medicine physicians, and then CEO's It's worth remembering that CEOs aren't all Bezos and Gates. The majority are just single person or handful of employee companies, and a lot of those aren't going great all the time. Like, my CEO is still at a stage where he makes hands-on decisions about the software product, does a lot of sales stuff and does consulting (which is our main business). He's close enough to real people and real work that he's actually a pretty good guy. If we keep growing, he might turn into an rear end in a top hat though, who knows. Sucking to to capital is cool right? My point is more that under full communism, some of the current CEOs would be doing the exact same thing they are doing now, because the business they run is actually meaningful to them and society.

euphronius posted:the “badly paid” ceos are still getting equity as well I would guess You can be a CEO without the company being public, meaning you own 100% of it. And it's still likely worth diddly squat because you're running a furniture company employing two guys and a dog and your profit margins are poo poo. What I'm saying is that CEOs of public companies are probably the ones we need to guillotine.

remember when CEO meant "the (usually) dude in charge of a bunch of other executive officers who in turn were in charge of a bunch of managers who were in charge of staff"? and if you ran a one- or several-person shop you were the manager or proprietor or something? now ceo is "im brayden and im 16 years old and im the ceo of my own company" (which is not registered and has no capital and is not a going concern) and proprietor is "lol i don't read Shakespeare"

Also obviously I would be an alpha because I am so cool and smart and likeable

I mean part of this is that if you have any business wherewithal you'll be turning your sole proprietorship into an S-corp or something as soon as humanly possible because of the liability shield If you have any personal assets at all worth protecting, obviously

Musk hit this right on the head actually. When you're in charge, you can call yourself anything. Cyber king is especially dumb, but if you want to seem like you're a serious business, why not call yourself CEO? I know I did when I had a company so I could do academic Uber work.

It's essentially post-discontent society, the lower castes are sufficiently drugged and provided for not to envy higher castes  Which is hosed up in a lot of ways but still better than anything humanity accomplished on a large scale lmao

Shame Boy posted:Our roommate was allowed to keep her surgically removed wisdom teeth that were impacted despite them being all bloody and having some jaw tissue and other various body goop still attached. I kept the last two big honkin molars they yanked out because they had such freaky roots on them that the dentist had to get a foot up on the armrest of the dentist chair to get enough leverage to yank em out and still had to take a break partway through. It might have been funny even if I wasn't gassed out of my mind

i got some argentinian youtube premium subscription through a vpn for like $20/year, it seemed worth it to me since i know realistically i'm never going to successfully gently caress around with piholes and poo poo. also i get youtube music which everyone seems to hate but seems totally fine to me? it just recommends me a lot of south american pop hits since it thinks i'm argentinian.
