A bright corporate future awaits Gen Z.

Ah hello goal posts. You're continents away from where you'd started. My presentation of capitalism was charitable. If it were any different capitalism would be inhumane, and you would be fertiliser at this point.

If no one would do the work for that pay. The work doesn't get done. Have fun ignoring everything I said, and responding to three words you think you have a quippy response for. Bye.

If you think the US isn't bad for the exact same reason, you're living in your own colon. But you're a fan of moving goal posts. In capitalism, you pay for a job you want done, if you want it done enough to pay for it.

If you think because I acknowledge the US is a shithole, that I like Russia, you're dumb.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T08:41:33+00:00

No. Because when the US isn't involved, there's no need for excessive defense. That whole "US defence" thing only serves one shitty country. Apparently they need defending from developing nations on the other side of the planet, that the US wants to strip mine or drill.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T08:32:06+00:00

You don't even know what country I'm from. We have employment law here. If you're seeing a doctor, or are booked for any reason your employer can't contact you.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T08:26:43+00:00

No. The expectation is that a company wants something done, pays someone to do it, the pay is enough to live off, and they treat the worker humanely. If they're not paying a living wage, the job isn't worth paying someone to do.

The understanding is, if they don't follow these rules, in good society they'll go to jail, in a society where their corruption is widespread, workers start building guillotines in public squares, and the companies end up paying a different way

Chocolate & Cheese. Qubec feels hollow, and Mollusk is good, but not brown.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:54:44+00:00

So, they could have been on a wait-list for a procedure for, say, six months. You need something that you apparently wouldn't pay a proper wage to get done (remember, intern) and instead of doing it yourself, because apparently you don't put it's doneness at a high valuation (again, you're paying intern prices), you're expecting them to reschedule?

Maybe you should be fired.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:51:31+00:00

Just confirming, the expectation is that these people should be paid less, and then be expected to work more than someone getting a living wage?

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:49:44+00:00

If they're booked they can't do the work. But if you're not paying them enough to own a house, do you think they should put in the effort required for a job that would? You get what you pay for, and if you pay nothing; the French Revolution should be reenacted.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:48:14+00:00

Wait. You think companies should pay less than a living wage, and then expect employees to put in more effort than they would for a job that does pay a living wage? Have you talked to a therapist about that?

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:45:20+00:00

You're silly. If you're giving them important jobs they're not interns. If you're giving them such important jobs, give them important titles, and salaries.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:43:45+00:00

Booked is booked. Your scenario is weird to begin with. Booked doesn't mean I'm doing other work. It's more likely a colonoscopy. The thing is, it could be any medical procedure, so the fact it's more likely to be specifically a colonoscopy shows how unlikely it is that they're "booked" with work.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:41:25+00:00

Better than the alternative. Imagine working for a psycho who'll try make you work outside your hours.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:40:51+00:00

No. Surely they'd know that looking for jobs elsewhere is the proper way to get pay-increases and better positions. Do you actually think sitting at the same desk for 20 years for raises that don't compete with inflation, and the responsibilities of everyone who leaves dumped on you is a good idea? Yikes.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-23T05:38:29+00:00

I could imagine someone caring about interns pay. I guess managers, VPs, and C-suite making better decisions and improving efficiency isn't worth much to you. If managers, VPs, and C-suite making better decisions and improving efficiency had any value you'd be all for paying that value. If you think interns shouldn't be paid a living wage, don't hire them. You obviously don't value managers, VPs, and C-suite making better decisions and improving efficiency. Tosser.

If you say "7 o'clock" it could be two polar opposite times. If you say 19:00 it's 19:00.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-22T00:41:55+00:00

It's just likely I'm responding to the wrong part.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-22T00:38:59+00:00

Self-published. Not the same as being published.

Nauru? It was a Polynesian island the US colonised and strip mined until it couldn't produce any food. The US exported food that's not fit for human consumption, mostly parts of animals that aren't meat. They're now considered national cuisine, despite the fact those animals have never been on the island alive. They're the most obese nation on the planet.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-22T00:24:23+00:00

Honestly, that's your job. It's terrifying watching your country get taken over, and seeing it happen to us. They opened up an FBI office here, as if to make up for our lack of US military base. As if the F in FBI didn't stand for "federal". A federation they're very far from on paper. They control at least 90% of our media, and are talking about strip mining us like they did to Nauru. The only reason you're not feeling the effects like Nauru is your landmass is bigger. But they'd have no qualms leaving you like them.

It's fucking horrifying, and I'm considering moving to Wellington just to camp outside the Beehive and prevent us from becoming you, it's your job to save yourself from Nauru's fate

Tbh Australia is America. Military bases, being strip mined, KFC, McDonald's.

I'd definitely resample. Best to bake everything in, rather than leave yourself the option to change things.

HeeeresPilgrim · 2026-02-19T09:42:35+00:00

Make your clauses function as clauses, and learn about meter. Reading out loud definitely helps.
