petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.

since we're on the subject

retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.

I think you took the joke a bit too seriously

Edit: oh wait wtf I didn't notice the post body. I agree with you then lol

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

I just wanna conspire with comrades using pretty little pictures.

You mean like when the emoji for gun went from something realistic to a squirt gun?

[–] teft@startrek.website 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Did...did he just invent the vacation?

Next up "I'm a CEO who gets hungry in the middle of the day, so I had a sandwich and some chips and found my creative spark."

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

more like I had some avocado toast in a nice cafe with my latte. Ah yes, the creative spark.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had some avocado toast 5 years ago and now I can't buy a house :(

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 6 points 2 years ago

Same. I bought a $9 coffee and now I'll never be able to retire.

Should be 4 day work week and 6 weeks vacation. There is absolutely no need to work this much. So many bullshit jobs, just to keep people employed and busy all their lives.

[–] scrawny_clown_snatch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Not just employed but underemployed. Forty hours a week for not-40 hours worth of money. We call it a grind because it's designed to wear us down to bare subsistence.

[–] BongRipsMcGee420@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Sure, that gets you the time off, but this guy flew to Paris and hung out for that entire time and found his "creative spark". We also need like 50% higher wages so we're not sitting in a Parisian cafe thinking "oh fuck this vacation is going to bankrupt me" or stuck at home unable to afford the flight to begin with.

Laughs in german labor laws.

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Seriously... I literally just opened up lemmy after checking my vacation balance to see this lol Took 5 years to get 10 days vacation at my current job and I've used them all already... boooo

[–] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I will never understand how American culture has considered that acceptable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_by_country

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Mostly because American culture is "I got mine, fuck you."

A culture brainwashed to glorify "rugged individualism" is a culture of self centered inconsiderate assholes.

[–] Nowyn@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There was very successful vilification of unions from my understanding as well. I find the discussion about unions with Americans really interesting as from my Finnish perspective they are the cornerstone of workers' rights.

Fuck emoji, we need guillotines.

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

I was burned out so did mushrooms and looked at the sky naked in a parking lot. I found my God.

People on LinkedIn be like....

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oh god I have so many screenshots of peoples LinkedIn posts that are so detached from reality. Unfortunately most of them are in German.

The CEO’s who are making millions of dollars? I don’t think really do anything, so if they just didn’t show up to work for a month would it even be that noticeable?

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You'd see a noticable uptick in productivity without their meddling.

[–] greendakota99@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Rage bait, moving on.

No guillotine; but we do have a sword.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 points 2 years ago

And we have a bow 🏹

[–] zephyreks@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago

The fact that a 30 day vacation is seen as privileged is a failure of the US.

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Must be nice

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Obligatory reminder that the guillotine was primarily used against commoners who were the political opponents of the party then in power.

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago

You mean the revolution didn't turn out the way people expected? What a surprise.

[–] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

We have to manually eat the rich to keep it from becoming an industrialized process that people can tune out.
