Yeah, I pay for Proton to try it out. I was liking it but this guy bending the knee to someone like trump is a huge red flag. I won’t be renewing my subscription!

Exactly. I agree. It needs to be simplified. As easy as creating an account.

Pretty much all fast food here is absolute trash and insanely expensive.

Basically flavorless ass.

Which one cookie?

100 percent agree. Always fight for pay, not for rhe company trying to pay you less.

That’s simply not true. I busted my ass for years and because I was a producer, I was kept in my role.

Eventually I wised up and left. I put in the absolute minimum effort now and make way more than I have when working hard.

Work smarter, not harder. And only work hard if it’s your own company. Hard work only goes so far and will eventually burn you out.

It’s not easy. What I found helpful is if you can separate work and personal life. Only work for money unless you start your own business.

Separating the two allows you not to care if the business does poorly, it allows you to not feel guilty when your boss fails or the business does poorly, or needs extra help but you have a date that night.

I was laid off in September from a company, started a new company on Monday, they announced layoffs on Tuesday, and found out Wednesday my job is safe. Suffice to say, companies don’t care about you so get in, cash out.

They didn’t bring a solution, just their own experience, and even that is probably a story.

Mastadon is nice. I like Bluesky better. I think if they can eventually talk between the two, they will both win.

“I don’t know enough on the topic to have an opinion.”… is what I use. I’ll even use that if I just don’t want to talk about something with someone I know doesn’t know the topic

What’s on your mind?

They’re not though. They’re using that as a facade to spring families into poverty, keep them there, keep them uneducated, keep them popping out kids to feed low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison.

I’m already involved in local politics and will be fighting like hell to save it.

What are you going to do?

Not just history, science, probably math, etc.

They don’t want problem solvers or critical thinking skills, they want to create a class of low skilled, low intelligence, baby breeding, obedient working class people.

The owning class will be educated through private institutions.

I’m cutting them out completely. I can’t stand people who sit back and do nothing or support fascism.

This will be the first year in almost 20 years that I simply don’t visit the family for christmas, with the exception of the pandemic.

From now on, if you’re a trump supporter or you “sat this one out”, I’m not wasting any effort on you, continue sitting this one out.

Some of us care about the country.

Being afraid to ask for help, and general pride issues.

It would be significant.

A lot.
