RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Is that worth a paycheck?
I don't know. I'm still processing.
I think it’s likely that every large firm, and lots of smaller ones, are at least partially responsible for something horrible. The only differences are whether we know about it or not, and if that horrible thing is the only/main reason the firm exists. There’s a good chance that your past and future employers did/knowingly enabled something ethically indefensible. That doesn’t make YOU a bad person.
Most of that is indirect, exploitation, greed. That’s very different than actively committing evil. And before anyone claims false marketing is false marketing, no it’s not. False marketing to rip someone odd is a scan. False marketing to encourage deaths should be a major crime
You could be a mole.
I doubt he's a mole. They don't get social security numbers for one thing.
No no, I think you misunderstood. They are 6.022 x 10^23 discrete identical things, not a small burrowing mammal. Common mistake.
That number is too large to be a social security number.
Au contraire, they are a sauce containing fruits, nuts, chili peppers, and spices like black pepper, cinnamon, or cumin.
My dermatologist warned me to keep an eye on those. If they turn black you’re supposed to freeze them or something.
Take your time. But welcome to a new club. You've been an advocate of good your whole life, an advocate of not killing people. Maybe you knew about nestle baby formula and boycotted them. But now the truth is turning you into an activist. And this can take any form you want, from attending peaceful protests to luigi. Start with small, consistent actions, be mindful, and talk to others about how you can make a difference.
Also, you dont have to protest quit right now, that's a decision for later and when you have something else lined up. Someone will do what your job is, you quitting doesn't make the company implode. Maybe you can take them down from the inside :)
