Oh my. If Canada were to join the European Union, as well, we would have to rename the currency to "Euro Dollars", or "Eddies" for short.

"but... it shouldn't have affected ME, you know?"

IT WAS A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE YOU FUCKING DONKEYS

What the hell took them so fucking long. Anyone still using Xitter is a fascist enabler.

European here.

Lately at my work, we are actually being asked to submit a vacation plan for the next year at the end of the previous year. I basically had to sit down with my significant other and plan out exactly when we would take time off. My work demands this (and to a lesser degree, hers too) because people apparently have issues with using up their vacation days in the year they are valid for, and that is a real problem for the company, even a legal one. Theoretically, if there is a lot of work, and vacation time is not possible, the company could agree to not let the vacation days expire, but that means they have to put money on the side in case they have to pay out the vacation days, which is a lot of money uselessly bound that cannot be spent.

So yeah, 30 days every year, and when we're sick, we're sick. Some people take a vacation day to see a doctor, but most people just try to do that in the early morning or in the evening and maybe take some overtime hours for that.

I am not telling you this to gloat. I am telling you this to let you know your bosses are taking you for a ride. Demand more, demand better. If that doesn't work, there's always

It does seem that more than a few of this kind of people are quite tonedef. One example is a lot of them liking Rage Against the Machine but objecting when Tom Morello makes a political statement, as if their entire song catalog wasn't political and literally raging against everything those conservatives and/or fascists hold dear.

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

They have played us for absolute fools.

English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?

For *, you despise HR, those fucking corpo muppets that will attempt to stab you in the back at every opportunity.

Remember rule of acquisition #48:

The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.

Never forget, HR is your enemy.

I would so use that in their next marketing campaign. The slogan writes itself!

"Outlawed in [Denmark|in some countries] for being too spicy!"

They really don't. They're throwing LGBTQIA+ people under the truck because it's a polarizing issue and it distracts people from the fact that the rich are fucking all of us over and capitalism is destroying this planet. It's pretty much the same with abortion rights. They don't give a shit if you're gay or trans or whatever. But making your life fucking miserable distracts us from all the other damage they do. That's all.

So we should fight for LGBTQIA+ rights, and abortion rights, but we should also finally fucking start to EAT THE RICH.

Good idea, giving Microsoft control over every single open source project. I mean, what could go wrong, right?
