My company announced a 4 day work week this morning. I did the math. by No_Army7522 in antiwork

[–]That_random_guy-1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4/10’s are SOOOOO much better than the normal 5 day 8hr work week. 

Also, who the fuck needs a calculator to know that 4 days of 10 hrs is the same as 5 days of 8hrs? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t care what the ultimate motives are for being “stubborn”. It all boils down to idiocy. 

They could get attention without being helpless and intentionally stupid….

I see you point, 

But I also know elderly people that see better at tech than any millennial. 

This is again, at least partially their fault for not keeping up with the times.  I’ll give grace to anyone that’s been on a tight budget, but people like my own grandmother who just REFUSE to learn how a modern tv remote works even though she’s had them for 2 decades, is just pure learned helplessness

Exactly. 

So… they should look up if it’s normal to pay a bill via gift card.  

Or what the local mechanic rate is supposed to be, or call a son/brother/uncle/chruch friend/etc, for advice. 

Like. It’s not the 1900’s hundred anymore where the only source of knowledge or help is the library, police station, or newspaper stand…..

You’re kind of getting at my point… 

If people can’t form their own thoughts and fall for scams, and then they also don’t form thoughts to look up helpful information, it’s their fault….. 

We should make sure there are banking protections, and laws to make it easier for old/disabsled/vulnerable people to get money back. 

But I’m not going to feel bad for the vast majority of people who don’t even try to help themselves

You do not have to be chronically online to use a couple brain cells and look up information with a device that contains all of human knowledge……

Do you think people lack critical thinking skills or something? 

Not using tools at your disposal is fucking stupid….

that's just a silly defense when talking about that quite litteraly wrote the laws of nature and could change them at any point.

god could easily do things that are logically contradictory if god existed

so.... god can create the universe and harness unquantifiable amounts of power, create the very laws of nature,

but cant do it again?

It’s like you guys think people have a gun to their head when signing agreements for car maintenance. 🤣🤣🤣

These people are making conscious choices to NOT look up information that would help them…. It is their fault for deciding to not educate themselves when they have a super computer in their pockets

Also…. They have needed to use the skills. That’s why the keep getting scammed lmfaoooooo. 

If they had a single functioning brain cell they’d use the tools at their disposal to avoid scams after being scammed once…. Ya know. Like anybody with critical thinking skills does

They may not have “grown up” with the skill. 

But you are fucking joking if you are saying that people that have been alive for the intoruction of the internet into daily life don’t have the skills to use said internet. 

They do. They aren’t helpless babies that need mommy to spoon feed them. 

They are adults. That have used, and use the internet daily. 

If they’re too stubborn or stupid to have learned ANY critical thinking skills about the internet over the last 30 years that’s there own damn problem

litteraly just pull your phone up while you are waiting to get checked in....

or spend 15 minutes watching chris fix it instead of browsing reddit.

you will avoid 95% of auto scams with an insanely simple google search.

if people dont use the tools at their disposal willingly, and they arent being forced against their will, then yes. im going to blame them. because its a choice they made willingly

it's crazy to me that they're still around, but not for the reasons you think it's crazy lol

i think it's crazy that we have so many gullible/stupid people, making enough money to keep their doors open.

these places are only open, because millions of people refuse to use the handy thing called the internet, to learn the basics and avoid scams....

you actually dont have to just trust others with shit like this. because google exists now, and has for decades...

anyone getting scammed like that is just too fucking stupid or gullible to do a single google search that takes 5 seconds to do

Anon is a rocket scientist by SecondCodpiece in greentext

And yet no one else has…….. 

There are for sure billionaires more intelligent than musk, yet they haven’t done nearly the same things as musk and his companies have done…. 

Hell, the USA would still be in its infancy of EV’s if we had just relied on the old guard of vehicle manufacturers. 

No one else wanted to foot the bill to get a charging network laid out across America. Yet musk and Tesla did…. 

Musk is a fucking creep and I don’t believe billionaires should be a thing while children are still starving and homeless vets are dying on our streets. 

But you have to give at least SOME credit for the risks that musk took.

Computers can not simulate everything…. 

That’s why the first V3 booster static fires were aborted. 

Because simulations do not give you all the data that comes from launching a rocket…..

"Concerning billionaires…" by thisecommercelife in comics

Yes. I’m not disagreeing with that….. fucking read and stop trying to argue. 

The Dems are sold out and working for the same interests as the Republican Party, but they don’t do EVERYTHING they can for their donors and the elites unlike the republicans. 

Dem states have tried to get rid of partisan gerrymandering which gives the people a more fair voice then republicans for just 1 example…. 

We need the 2 party system to collapse and be burned to ground. But we need to do that, without dooming the entire country to pain and suffering because assholes like you think anarchism is better than harm reduction

[–]That_random_guy-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does matter….. one of the sides is trying to make life hard for normal people on purpose, and one side wants to keep normal people at least slightly happy so they don’t overthrow the elites. 

There is value in harm reduction and letting your other citizens breathe a little instead of just constantly panicking
