Pretty much this.

People have shared how Costco would work with farms and say, “Well pay you less per product, but we’re order a magnitude more than your next buyer. Enough that you can retire next year.”

The numbers are insane.

The unspoken rule in the eyes of society is that people are granted certain privileges.

This is not to be confused by privileges defined by law.

These privileges are unspoken, because they differ between people and place, cultures, race, experience, education, etc. Things that you might have but another person might not. It’s deeply rooted in society, and near invisible to those who aren’t aware of the privileges they don’t have.

To use an example: You are a doctor. Your work provided you with a office, and items for you to do your work. One of those items is an iPad, which you use to take notes and access the internal medical records. One day, you take that iPad home and let your kids play with it.

The company noticed you installed a game, which is against company rules and is a fire-able offense. But, your status as a doctor means that if they fire you, they’ll lose a lot. The patient workload would increase, and finding a replacement would take a long time.

Even though you, the doctor, broke a rule, the company decides that it was an honest mistake and lets you off with a warning.

Here’s where the privilege comes in. You, the doctor, just got away with it. What else can you get away with?

As a doctor, you now KNOW that you have a high status in the company and they have to weigh the pros and cons of firing you.

So maybe you, the doctor, start taking snacks home that was meant for the whole team. Maybe you start telling the new interns about how cute their little butts are. Maybe you start taking huge turds and not flushing.

Each action, the company has to go: Do I fire this doctor and lose how much we gain from them? And chances are, they won’t. Because the rules you broke are too “minor” and it would be an inconvenience to the company. The company found ways to convince themselves to keep you even though you clearly broke the rules.

Let’s switch it. You’re a janitor at this hospital. You are minimum wage. You tell a intern how cute their butt is. Instant fire. Because to the company, you’re easily replaceable, your absence would be a minor hiccup.

With the president, the people behind the scenes are asking themselves, “Well he really did call black people monkeys, bomb a school of girls, rape underage girls… (Laundry list of bs here), but if we removed him, will it be a major inconvenience to our operations of making money/power/influence?” And the answer is unfortunately yes to those people.

If they asked the same question about you, the answer will be way different.

Helium browser.

Also indians. A lot don’t actually care about the anti-lgbtqia side. They just hate big US tech.

Absolutely this.

There was an anonymous confession page at my college and it became a place where people would share how they treat other students/staff like shit. And some were just hateful like “I’ll never date a [race]”.

It kept going for years and was just a toxic place.

Send them to the front lines of our war machine.

I’m pretty sure it is not illegal to say how you just like seeing dead bodies, even if it’s your own commander.

You’re not threatening anybody. You’re just sharing preferences.

America is pretty “pro-corporations fucking over people”.

What’s crazy to me is how the alternatives are often the same price.

Buying Jelly (for peanut butter and jelly), 95% of the garbage out there uses HFCS. Then you have a few all natural ones with 3 ingredients and there’s no difference in pricing. But apparently people aren’t paying attention.

And also check if they add High Fructose corn syrup. If they do, don’t bother.

This is it.

There’s a movement post-BLM where it’s not their job to explain racism to the ignorant. Very often, ignorant people refuse evidence. They waste everyone’s time and energy.

It is for the people who are getting paid, which is the insurance companies.

If it wasn’t, it wouldnt be the awful dystopian norm for the past 40 years here this stupid country.

This is what’s so fucked up about being an American. Every time there’s a complaint about the system, some “good soul” comes out to explain how you avoid it.

Healthcare is expensive? Oh you have to negotiate with your doctors, your hospital, your insurance, and get it fixed.

Internet is too expensive? Oh you’re supposed to call them every few months to have them lower the prices by threatening to quit.

Oh, fast food is too expensive? Oh use the mobile app and take a picture of your butthole to get it back to normal!

Haha I don’t know about that!

It was ingrained into me to never share anything until Facebook normalized it. I always feared some nutcase would come to my house because I made a solid yo momma joke that broke him.

I did a/s/l in a vague way, telling people I was 1-2 years older than I was, which was required to meet hotties also in the AOL chatz.

It feels a lot more organic. Once in a while, I get into a heated argument where we go back and forth.

But it doesn’t feel like I’m arguing with an obvious troll. Just two people with disagreements.

On Reddit, argue with someone and they go, “Yeah will you’re a cuck and you post on lolcats” and then you find out theyre a Indian teen or a bot.

Democrat president year: “We must set aside our differences and be united.”

Republican president year: “The evil Democrats who plan to kill us all and take away our guns need to be executed.”

Democrat president year: “oh what a doozy! We may have lost a lot of people in the Enslavement Camps, but now we must come together and be united.”

I’m using Sync (I’m lazy with getting new apps and it hasn’t pissed me off yet) and the button is called “Everything”. So I guess it’s the All section!

Just gotta keep making the world as hostile as possible to teenagers.

Because the school to prison pipeline can only do so much

Trump: Anyways look at this AI video of Barack and Michelle as gorillas!

I’m a bit thick. Not certain if this is a joke that went over my head or not.

Im still in a rabbit hole trying to understand why some aren’t dinosaurs.
