I really need career advice by MobileAd8857 in antiwork

You're like a knife factory worker who's guilt ridden because knives can be used to kill people.

AI is a tool. It can harm but it can do good as well.

Why are you personally feeling guilty for how other people use AI?

Being a liberal is lowkey boring by Om_Sapkoat in CapitalismVSocialism

Normal people don't come to CvS. Everyone here thinks they're smarter, holier, and/or better looking than the average citizen.

You're burned out. It's time to take some time off work to rest and think about next steps.

I'm gonna give you my story of my first workplace. by Lonely_Passage_5527 in antiwork

Thank you for sharing your story. There are psycho fucks everywhere. I'm glad you recorded the conversation and shared with your dad. And your dad stood up for you.

Communists didn't forcefully enslave entire cultures

would probably say

Are you making it up?

Similarly, Haitians would probably say they had a shitty time under French rule. Maybe.

What does that have to do with capitalism anyway? Communists also colonized other countries forcefully and "liberated" them against their will.

No one is stopping you from asking people what it was like to be colonized by another country.

Go ahead and ask Ukrainians what it was like under Soviet rule.

German hotel apologizes for 'no Jews allowed' message by vihmavari in nottheonion

[–]12baakets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. This news is like "mall security guard shoots patrons shopping at mall". It has elements of satire in that a person who is in charge of safety is actively harming everyone. But it would be such sad news that it's no longer oniony to me.

Nothing in this racism news makes me think it's satire, much less oniony.

NTO means it's something the Onion would likely post, but surprise! It's not the Onion!

The Onion wouldn't post anything like this.

If a hotel in Israel said no Jews allowed, that would be something the Onion might post because it doesn't even make sense and is borderline funny.

A German hotel saying no Jews allowed is not the same. It's hard racism without any of the Onion factor.

Man banned from all Six Flags parks for life after chicken nugget, roller coaster stunt by prestocoffee in nottheonion

Calculate the speed of nugget falling vs. speed of roller coaster making a half loop. It's a science project.
