not. the. point. listen carefully and you can hear the whoosh of the argument which is being made in the attached screenshot.

working from home for this tech, is the same as having to schlep into the office, all their work is done remotely, as in not in front of the client computers or servers, but from their workstation. doesn’t matter where their workstation is, either in down the hall in an office building, in their home, or timbuktu

having requested to work from home, and having been denied, this tech is now arguing that “working from home” isn’t considered as good as working from the office, so, if it’s not considered as good, the employer shouldn’t ever be asking them to do it

it’s not going to work out for the tech, obviously, but that’s the argument they are making

d’oh that principal (and his lackeys) bit off a lot more than they could chew, lol, you love to see it

centipedes are features!

three is a magic number

They figured out that egalitarian secular Democracy wasn’t meeting their racist ends, and couldn’t ever be forced to through the power of argument, so instead of changing what they want, they’re out to destroy the entire construct

jellygiggler69 rules, i’m so happy for her

curiously, i can see images in both the lemmy.world and lemm.ee post links you included in your comment (as well as the image from the og mastodon post). the originals must have been posted from kbin or mbin instances since i’m using fedia.io which is an mbin instance

Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.

It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.

i can see it from fedia.io (mbin)

there’s a gif here, if you can see it [posted from fedia.io mbin]

ok

there’s a gif there, if you can’t see it there’s a problem with your browser or instance edit: there’s a discussion going on at https://fedia.io/m/asklemmy@lemmy.world/t/917243/What-s-the-reason-for-the-empty-comments-lately that might be tied to this phenomenon

it’s pushing the pee out

well, no, the reason is commercial, chicken is one of the cheapest and easiest proteins to raise in the smallest amount of space, which works out better for those of lesser means. everybody loves fried chicken, sure, but it’s not the reason it’s always been a stereotypical hallmark of the American Black population

seeing as how ethnicity and geographic origin of the american slaves were purposefully destroyed and lost, to cut them off from their history by design, their created culture will need to suffice

they said because of the tradition of corned beef and cabbage on st patricks day, it’s a fair question

what’s it’s laden air speed velocity?

There’s a lot of “play” in tasks accomplished when working in an office, not so much when companies have spy software gauging every minute one spend on their corporate owned pc’s remotely, some find even less freedom when under that type of 9 hr scrutiny day in day out

“how bout that” lol
