  • Cool, that wasn’t this.

    They used company computers to do another companies work. That’s theft. Just like you want to comment on wage theft and the like, this is employee theft. Now, if you want to argue that it’s justified, that’s one thing. But don’t reframe this as “well they were just doing nothing anyways”. No, they used computers and resources that explicitly weren’t theirs for their own benefit. Sounds A LOT like the wage theft you want to complain about when it’s an employer doing it, but suddenly it’s ok when the tables are turned. Nah, it’s still an immoral act.



  • Then get behind the people doing 4 WFH jobs. Use GOOD examples to further this idea. Not people blatantly perpetrating fraud and acting like they’re heros. We need strong cases, not ones easily broken down and dismissed. This case is too easily in favor of the employers. Is capitalism shit? Sure. But you’re literal job is to be available during those hours. Hiding the fact that you’re doing another job using company time and resources, is fraud, plain and simple. If you didn’t think it was fraud, would you have hidden it?


  • Read the actual articles detailing what they did. It was fraud. If you legit think this is ok, then you are advocating for lying and cheating to get what you want, which, I dunno, I thought that was EXACTLY what you despised about the capitalists.

    So funny how the oppressed always wants to become the oppressor. You’re not arguing for a better world, just one where you “get yours”.


  • Well Fargo fired people for working a second job ON COMPANY TIME, USING COMPANY RESOURCES AND COMPUTERS.

    THIS IS FRAUD.

    They abso-fucking-lutely deserved this. Don’t get behind this story and act like it’s employers being shitty when it was employees faking working their main job using mouse/keyboard idlers to work a second job during time they were being paid by the first job for, using resources provided by the first job.

    Work 2 jobs separately? Big whoop. Being paid for your time to do a job and you do a completely different job in that time using your employers resources? Hell, be glad they didn’t sue you.

    Get behind real issues, not this. This just makes you look like the reddit anti work mod who got interviewed and complained that they couldn’t support themselves as a dog walker for 2 hours a week. It makes YOU look unreasonable.


  • You realize many guns can be made full auto just by filling down or replacing a single part and the spring, right? It’s been an issue for DECADES. This law was just reactionary legislation and didn’t actually impact mass shootings. It being gone doesn’t really change anything other than one less law to enforce.

    Does America have a gun problem? Yes. Does it have an ass backwards bureaucracy problem? Also yes.





  • While I get the desire for outrage and backlash, a generous reading of what he said would be something like “In the past, making music meant needing access to numerous instruments and equipment. Today, you can create the same kind of music with a cheap PC and some programs.”

    He’s not attacking creativity or saying your time isn’t valuable. He’s saying the barrier to entry has dropped dramatically to the point that almost anyone that wants to create content, can.

    Look at any medium and notice the wide array of tools now available to the average person. You can do Photoshop and video effects using entirely free programs for the most part. Or paying a fraction of what you’d have paid in the past for less features.

    Under that reading, he’s absolutely correct.

    But yeah, Spotify sucks, I get that. They don’t pay creators fairly. Absolutely. Don’t disagree with that.
