I have a game of ttrpg Vampire the requiem and one of the guys insists on saying variations of “I’m going to suck that guy” straight faced (heh).

I have thought about writing a story about someone who kills all the leadership ghouls who force return to office, no holiday pay, and so on. Not sure what I could do to raise it from revenge porn to something deep.

This one maybe ? https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Right? But it was so … Short sighted, to think it would last forever and you’d never need to organize.

I remember an old coworker said he was anti union. “I’d just find another job if I didn’t like the one I had”, he said. Bold claim.

Criminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.

Maybe it’s like micro transactions - once you break the seal you’re much more likely to keep going.

Have to have severe penalties. It’s the only thing some people understand

I believe you even though that’s kind of sad. I’m not sure which of “they thought this dead animal picture was good” or “they don’t have friends to take a better picture” or “it didn’t even occur to them to ask a friend to take a picture” are worse.

That could be. I’m not sure how the “many women don’t like these pictures” fact didn’t override that, though.

When I was on the dating apps I got a friend to take some photos of me in the park

I commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.

I got another talking to about making people feel bad.

Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.

Probably similar to how a lot of incels and manosphere duds get advice from other men instead of women. They’re in a little bubble. Maybe they don’t respect women’s opinions.

Headlines starting with like “Trump explodes” give a hope that is immediately dashed upon finishing the sentence

These are mild consequences. I’m sure we can upgrade to moderate, or maybe even memorable consequences.

This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.

I recently read “People’s History of the United States” and it paints a much grimmer picture of the early US. It didn’t take long for the alien and sedition acts to be written, despite the grand language about freedom. There’s also many, many, years of labor asking for more than dirt and being violently suppressed.

Many people struggle with admitting they’re wrong, or their world view is flawed.

Seems like most people don’t really care about or understand stuff like “private platforms enshittify”. Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like “that’s where the good memes are” or “that’s where my video games post”. Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.

Renting would almost make sense if it was dirt fucking cheap. The reality is it often costs an amount comparable to a mortgage, but without any of the benefits.

Personally I think housing should be a right and everyone entitled to it, and should not be used as an investment or vector for wealth.

The song game. I feel like a lot of people have come up with it naturally.

One person plays a song. The next person has to then play a song with some sort of connection to it. Like, you could follow the velvet underground’s “Sunday Morning” with Nirvana’s “Lithium” because it has the line “Sunday morning is every day for all I care”. Any connection is valid so long as the group accepts it, but I prefer lyrical ones myself.

That’s it. You go around until you lose interest.

I like it as a way to share music, because to do well you typically have to actually listen with their song.
