I think it is a thing of “the lesser evil”, A “seemingly” lesser evil. Those who are critical of the US and the West, like my father, tend to overlook the evils of rival powers, the same goes the other way around.

The thing is, the alternative, seeing all great powers for what they are: equally deplorable evils (as I do), is fucking depressing. It makes you think there’s no hope because the world is at the mercy of the biggest pieces of shit ever, a war between Monsters and Demons.

That’s the funny thing: they don’t.

Hypocrisy is written all over their souls… If they have any, that is.

This is the best name so far

Lol I just received a follow request from an account just like the one you describe.

It’s more like that boss in one of the Borderlands games that dies from falling down the stairs.

You don’t even do anything, he just trips and dies.

Holy fuck it is for real! I thought it was a made up word lol

Oh, ok! Lol

… I perceive there’s a joke here but I don’t quite get it. Could you kindly explain, please? 😅

My brother works in the kitchen as a cook, I don’t know if that makes a difference, I admit I assume he works for a salary just because he has a Boss and is working for someone else.

And, well, maybe “self-employed” was the correct term? Although it didn’t fit well with what I wanted to say, but since English is not my mother language, I kinda get confuse sometimes.

For… No reason in particular. I just do that sometimes unconsciously.

Perhaps culture and/or upbringing have something to do with it.

My mother has always prioritized her economic and work independence, something she taught my sisters. My brothers and I, on the other hand, were always stressed the importance of having a stable job.

It depens on the context. I use 👍 in my work to show that I get the messages my superiors sent me.

Are you talking about the Castrati?

You know that Amazon has so much money that it can sell at a loss for years if necessary to ANNIHILATE all its competition, right?

No one can compete against Amazon, or Google, or Microsoft, or any of the big companies with profits that exceed the GDP of countries.

You can’t win by playing THEIR game, with THEIR pieces and THEIR rules.

We have to break stuff, THEIR stuff.

And motorcyclists

And what about the Pedestrians?

Yeah, but that eliminates the joy of saying “hu-huh, this code is shit, but it’s MY shit” before lighting up a second joint.

Very interesting what you say about “Freedom to” and “Freedom from”, it makes me clearer about many things.

Well, when I said “Labor Freedom” I was referring more to freelance work, but it is true that with a good union it is possible to achieve more freedom in salaried jobs, I had not thought about it, thanks.

They want to convince us that we “want” to be productive so that it seems to be our decision that we want to be trampled by our bosses, who are the ones who crave that productivity.
