It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
probably? it's just the only place to get work right now. if/when the money spigot turns back on, I'll go back to something with fewer ethical issues, but right now I just need work. plus my position is pretty bullshit so I'm pretty sure I'm just receiving money. like my job is so abstracted away from what actually earns them money and so focused idealistic platitudes that it's hard to see how it improves their ability to do much of anything. but yeah, not claiming it's ethically great.
That's fair enough, sorry if my comment sounded judgemental.
no it's all good, I went through this with my wife when I took the job. I was against it until I realized this. it also helped that their majority money maker is "providing liquidity to the market" - which means they're doing arbitrage against other financebros and I give way less of a fuck.
