Dyskolos

Being killed for some measly 50g of some drug…barbaric shit nation that is on my no-travel-list.

Yeah sure, i hear you. Though one could argue if having the (silly) opinion to scratch modern gendering off the agenda is actually “evil”. It’s stupid, but it’s just a political opinion one is allowed to have and share. And fully live out in one’s company. So, quitting here just because they’re narrow-minded and stupid would be a bit overkill. But just staying there until you find something better: Totally acceptable I’d say. I might’ve sound very harsh and black/white-ish, but i often talk in principles, not in simple 100%-always-appliable-rules-for-everybody.

And kudos that you do your protest in the means possible :)

Ok, “evil” surely isn’t black/white. Capitalism in its roots borders around evil, that’s true. But it’s still a difference of selling crap to idiots who won’t question their purchases and ripping e.g. people off of their stuff or just…well, selling arms, munition, addictive drugs (knowing there would be non-addictive versions), making/selling alcohol/nicotine and whatnot…

Everyone has a choice. It might be harder for some, but it’s still a choice. Work for the evil company or not. Noone forces me at gunpoint to go to work. I’d argue it’s possible to change. Maybe not easy or fun, but possible. There may be exceptions in uncivilized countries where it’s “work or die” where it’s “me or them”.

I, personally, just couldn’t. Working for someone that’s clearly against my ethics or moral code? I would probably prefer welfare over that. Couldn’t enjoy anything I would buy from that salary. Better be poor but proud than rich and ashamed of myself.

Sorry, but if you know your company is evil and you still work there, you’re evil too.

Once worked at a very major German donation-based organization as an it-admin. Wanted to do something valuable with my sparetime. What I learned there made me never donate a single cent again to any organization ever. I left on the spot, knowing they would never dare to sue because they fear the truth could come out. People could literally just not show up for weeks without explanation and wouldn’t even get a slap on the wrist. Before that I donated like 50k a year to many.

Could I work there and still call myself “a good people”? Absolutely not.

Hehe, nah, germany. But I like my privacy and don’t like gifting away my data for free :)

I can’t even…every day this barbaric nation does something more silly than the day before.

I’m so sorry for everyone who is open minded/eyed and lives there without the means to emigrate. It would drive me nuts, and my government already does silly things. But not on such ridiculous levels.

I only have one fake google account on an isolated VM with dedicated VPN. For the rare cases it’s unavoidable for something. Whoever actually uses gmail, will get what they pay for.

But this is probably anti-AI-ragebait anyway.

And here is my idiot self that read “gangs do their own brand of weighs”, zoomed in on the weighs brand and wondered how weird the UK might be 😵‍💫

Idea is great, motivation is great, but as usual:

It’s the net. You simply can’t enforce that. Technically. It might help a literal handful of totally technically challenged kids to not gain access. Unless they have friends who’d show them how.

And even IF it could magically work, big tech could simply ignore that. See e.g. steam, who, instead of enforcing age-verification for Germany, they just totally banned access for Germans to relevant titles. “Not worth the hassles”.

How about using it on your own people? There are enough recipients of all kind who could use help but won’t get any or enough.

Why waste it on Ukraine? So they can prolong sending money back to us on arms-deals, killing the remaining Ukrainians that haven’t already fled to here, and ultimately loose the war anyway? It just seems so futile…

Oh I do too.

It will probably be executed badly, but the underlying idea is, as often, ahead of the western world. The sheer amount of stupidity that even earns money from being the village-idiot with a megaphone is mind staggering and saddening.

E.g. if only doctors of medicine (or equivalents) would be allowed to talk about vaccination, instead of every assclown with an “opinion”…that’d be societal progress and a tiny leash on social cancermedia.

Sure, a well paid doc telling vaccination is bad would inflict equal harm, but at least he’d be one out of 50.

Also sure, who gets to set the rules, who gets to judge and enforce? Can’t even be half-assed fair.

I’ll buy the first one without US-involvement. Can’t await.

I would not touch a combination of meta and luxottica with a 10m-pole. And I love gadgets.

AND not even being paid for doing so. But paying for instead. that’s the most bizarre part of it.
