The best bit will be when these loyalists will be sent to the work camps anyway because the great leader’s Cialis didn’t work that morning.

You know, of all the things of this post, it’s the Roku remote that really confuses me. Was he holding it when he answered the door? Was it in his pocket and he took it out when was looking for phone to make the Tweet?

I knew I made it when I could afford UHU instead of having to use Clag

Doesn’t count unless it’s on a Volkswagon, otherwise they’re just pretending

Even better, several government departments ripped this off as part of a recruitment drives

It’s so weird when you actually meet a good recruiter

For the longest time the slogon was “It’s hard to have a Gaytime on your own.” https://youtu.be/YshX_hzAXow

“But I did not do anything, because I am not a journalist, and neither are they, really, and the thing they wear on their head is really dumb, unlike the thing we wear on our heads.”

Oh to play Ursula and getting to use the phrase “As per the contract you signed” in an email to your boss.

That time that America tried corruption in public

She says at the end “Let’s go make that cake.” After all that bullshit with the penguin and sand and water she now expects Mario to give a shit about using a KitchenAid and piping fondant. Don’t care if it’s bombass pussy she can go get fucked.

Oh God do I even want to know what they’ve trained for their AI image generator? Will it ironically be the only one that can show mixed race couples?

I don’t know why anyone fantasies about polyamory it takes my partner and I long enough to choose something to watch

I also hope we move away from coal, but if environmentalists are hell bent on getting a bunch of Dell monitors and a few keyboards in a museum hit me up.

I love the “view source” commentary and the fact that you can grab the ogg oir mp3’s there.

I’m not scared of governments surveying me, as someone who has worked for several national and local governments, they don’t have the time or budget. I’m not scared of advertisers surveying me, they’re just going to try and sell me something anyway. I’m not scared fo data brokers, they don’t want my data, they want to sell it to some one else for a profit and don’t really care about it.

What I am afraid of is someone I’ve pissed someone off and that any of the groups above don’t care about my data enough to protect it from the asshole who will use it vindictively.

What happens if Joe doesn’t show up for work?

A lot of paranoia on this community :(

There’s a few sign in checks (The variety makes me think Disqus or something similar.), a couple of keep alives, your phone registering for Wi-Fi calling, Fallback DNS requests, a couple of CDN requests which I would get is likely update checks and finally YouTube content for NewPipe. I think I’m seeing five tracking cookies based on the rest of your apps here, probably being sent “Do Not Track” requests.

You are right in saying you have two option, pay Joe based on work output (i.e. decrease his pay for the 4 widgets he now produces or take less profit.).

But there’s more to you then just Joe and the widgets. There’s the market buying the widgets, now everyone is working four days, has the demand for widgets changed? If this is a market where the demand is increased, you need more widgets, you can sell them at a higher price and hire more workers to increase output. If the market has now shrunk, Joe’s reduced output is fine.

It took a lot of effort to reduce the work week down from around 80 where it was at the beginning of the century and from the purely economic perspective of “we will have less output and the country will fail” it didn’t. Businesses did and guess what, it’s likely because they weren’t viable to begin with. Most workers on minimum wage currently can’t survive an unexpected expense, the current system isn’t paying enough to begin with. I’d argue lots of business right now should fail, because they aren’t being run for those actually making the widgets. Joe is burning his labour for cash and the output is widgets. In this scenario, what are you doing to earn the $20? Supplying Joe the chance to make widgets? Is that worth $20 from Joe’s labour?

Joe now has 72 hours off to rest and use his time more wisely. Joe uses this time to further his education follow a career in a different field other than making widgets. This may not make him more productive but he is happier. Eventually he will leave with his further education and move onto something more fulfilling, or just using the extra day to spend more time with his kids or doing whatever recreation he really loves. He will work on having a fulfilling life. You will move production to Bangladesh and bunch of people you are paying $5 a hour will die in a widget factory fire.
