can someone explain what independent work is? Is it still working for an rear end in a top hat without any kind of social/union potential or something?

it is freedom from the tyranny of a minimum wage requirement and any and all protections

the security forces of the capitol let the people into the capitol, let them party around, then eventually cleared them out. none of what happened exists without the security forces standing down. had this been a BLM protest or a march for healthcare or anything else, the people would have been crushed like they have so many times before.

I think it absolutely is relevant, which is why I said I was using "furry chud" as a slur and not just "chud". If you are a furry, fine whatever. If you're a furry chud though, you have to be a very particular kind of idiot due to how the furry community works and what most of it represents.

Like think about it, you're basically saying "I'm into this thing where everyone is a hyper-personalized character and a ton of the population is queer and/or trans and always has been and that's just kinda been accepted in a way it really hasn't been anywhere else. Well anyway as I was saying BLM are terrorists, build the wall, gently caress you snowflakes there's only two genders, etc..." Like they're two very uncomfortable worldviews when you put them together, and they're both things you have to more or less decide to be in a way "being black" sure isn't.

I've seen mention of it on SA but, as I recall, didn't the "furry community" go through a big uproar and split years ago over the decision to throw out the nazi and ultra-right furries (what a world we live in). I don't know if SA poster "Literal Nazi Furry" is still posting but I imagine he would know more.

furry chud is an interesting enough combination as to call out when talking about someone.

Like, it seems like he's actually trying to not be a horrible person, but in they other hand


Bill Gates is a smart guy, if nothing else. And he was smart enough to realize early on that setting up interlocking "foundations" was an excellent way to protect your wealth and grow your brand.

If Bill Gates wanted to give all of his money away then why does he have more now than ever?

I mean they make a lot of sense to me as a money laundering vehicle, which both explains why they are happening and why people are paying a lot of money for them. The surprise then is that the state is allowing any of this poo poo to be legal, which also makes sense when you realize that a lot of lawmakers either are too old to understand what the gently caress when it comes to anything computer related or have an interest in money laundering, either for themselves or their backers.

Seriously. It's loving weird (lol no, it's capitalism) how we've all learned that our salaries are private. I was recently negotiating for a new job, and the combination of my union giving me wage statistics and co-workers being willing to tell me their pay helped me set a much higher goal and in the end land a higher pay. If everyone knew each others pay, it would be way easier to see when you were getting screwed, and to demand more in negotiations.

Guy who hates me for buying a house: I'm buying a house for my family, and because I can't/won't drive, I need it to be within biking distance of stuff. That is a popular thing, so it's expensive. I'm scared of unforeseen costs like undiscovered structural damage, and I hope to poo poo I don't need to divorce my wife anytime soon, because neither of us can afford it. It's the middle class dream, so pretty okay, but it's a fair bit down the line to the guillotine.

At my last job I told everyone I could how much I was making and if I got a raise with a new position. I know for certain that the bosses did not like that, although they couldn't stop me.

This is explicitly why I told people my wage as well. I know this is why the bosses didn't like it too. A couple of the managers mentioned this to me indirectly and I replied both times that the world would be a better place if everyone told everyone else what they made.

I've never received a poor performance review and I've been randomly fired out of the blue before.

I've talked to a great many people, managers and supervisors as well, who flat out didn't believe that people were ever fired "without cause." I even followed this up with the implications of the Right to Work law but they would still disbelieve or would retreat into a vague "well that just doesn't make sense" or "why would a business do that" defense.

These people were intelligent, experienced professionals. They had gone to universities and received advanced degrees. They held positions of power and influence.

I was really happy when I watched one of the Secret Life of Machines episodes and Tim Hunkin discussed climate change as a consequence of using internal combustion engines. He totally nailed it, which is a rare thing for a series made in 1989 by a boomer-era brit. Tim by all rights should be a gammon but he isn't and that is wonderful.
