while it's nice and all that we're talking about stealing from employers, i'd like to propose something actually radical: ceasing to steal from actual productive workers by quitting a tech job

it may not be as satisfying as petty theft, but it actually benefits society!

the irony is that it's mostly tech-humpers who refuse to vaccinate because they read something on the internet and the internet can't be wrong otherwise they might question their lives

i mean sure, before the internet we had eradicated things like polio and smallpox and measles, but now we have really good phones in our pockets and insane wealth inequality so it's impossible to say if computers are good or not,

now imagine this image duplicated millions of times and broadcast throughout the world using algorithms specifically targeted at those most susceptible to such propaganda, coupled with a corporate philosophy that makes the removal of it (or similar, more insidious information) nearly impossible

perhaps we should be more concerned with working for such a company, rather than taking a stapler and feeling smug about it
