I understand the post but the linked explanation makes 0 sense. What does that post have to do with this one?

Thank God, now I might actually be able to enjoy a Borderlands game.

The overall article is fine, but I really don’t agree with its understanding of binary as an identity unto itself, and the article assumes too much that the way nonbinary people relate to being nonbinary is perfectly mirrored in how binary people understand binary identity. Binary isn’t an identity I’ve ever seen anyone identify as as an actual identity, it’s just the state of not needing more than one word to explain your gender identity. And especially for gay binary people, people of the other binary gender don’t really have anything to do with their identity or experience of gender, romance, sexuality, etc any more or less than nonbinary swarm gender people do.

• You’re unlikely to get fired during this consolidation. Firing is only done for cause, for either behavioral, performance, or legal problems. In many companies, you’d also be first put into a Performance Improvement Plan, where the problems that might lead to you being fired are formally raised to you and you’re given the conditions you need to meet to not be fired.

• What you’re likely facing is a layoff, where a company terminates your job because your role is no longer needed. This is important, because in a layoff, you get severance pay, unemployment insurance, and potentially other benefits, while being fired may impact your ability to get these benefits.

• Generally, it’s better to not quit if you don’t have to. If you stay and you get fired/laid off, you lose income you were about to lose anyway. If you quit but could have stayed and kept your role, you lose income you didn’t have to lose.

He wouldn’t even need to do that. He could literally just make a third account (assuming his daughter is blocking the one where Elon pretends to be an actual child) and see all the posts he wants. This is truly Elon solving a problem only Elon has, by nuking a feature tons of folks use.

Abysmal take, poutine is delicious

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.

Okay

Right, which is why I explained that the comment that they were replying to was a joke about the absolute losses

Baby boomers and silent generation are both quite old, and so there is a third option; both sides losing boomers and silent generation to them dying of old age/natural causes.

Idk she seems pretty happy to be getting the proposal? Really weird flex to look at that picture and be like “I’d be so fucking miserable and angry if I were here 😏”

“Under 30”? I’m 32 and I read Ctrl Alt Del in my sophomore year of high school. I was probably on the younger end of people reading it at the time it came out.

I swear the Internet is trying to make me feel ancient 💀

They’re in the same county, but that doesn’t mean Evanston politics impacts Chicago at all. Cook county politics have almost nothing to do with city politics, for both Chicago and Evanston.

I mostly just want a phone that doesn’t want to sell me on new ways to use my phone that I don’t already do. I don’t want a phone that’s constantly trying to get me to use voice search, or try out some AI feature, or a search engine, etc. I have a newer Samsung tablet, and by default holding the power button turned on voice search instead of the power off menu? I fucking hate that shit, it was thankfully changeable but it was annoying that I had to change it back. I literally never use voice search. I fucking hate talking to computers, I’m not talking to a machine unless it’s actually capable of feeling offended if I don’t

I wasn’t arguing that sex workers should be forced to have sex with anybody. In fact, I was saying that the way sexual labor involves these conversations about consent and bodily autonomy in a way that no other form of labor does suggests that it’s not a form of labor like any other and conversations about it shouldn’t start from the premise that it’s a conventional forms of labor if treating it like one would lead to horrific consequences like arguing that sex workers should be forced to take on clients.

I guess I was half replying to your post, and half tying it back to the OOP image to say that given the concerns about sex and consent, I don’t think I agree with the “all work is degrading, so sex work is no different” position.

But wouldn’t that be an argument for not treating sex work as a form of labor like any other? I wouldn’t have any problem saying a plumber or store owner or photographer or basically any other type of worker should not have the right to refuse service to people based on race or not being attracted enough to the person trying to get services. I agree that I wouldn’t be comfortable applying that same standard to prostitution, but that feels like an argument that there’s a fundamental difference between sex work and other, more typical, forms of wage labor.
