Wonder if they came up with the “instead of paying union dues, wouldn’t you rather play video games 🎮” posters

These are absolutely going to be used to break up big fights, then small fights, then arguments, then they’ll just be roaming the halls looking for any undesirable activities.

This is where I’m at.

I’ve got a really bad memory. Ever since seeing Iron Man (I was never into the comics), I’ve dreamed of having a JARVIS-esque virtual assistant, something that could be omnipresent in my life to document and recall and remind and suggest and…

I’d be willing to pay for it, too. $100-$150 a month, maybe more, would be well worth it to keep my life from spiraling, like it has a tendency to do. But it would have to be my data. Never used for anything but myself. And that’s just unacceptable to the Tech Bros.

With self-hosted LLMs continuing to get better and cheaper, maybe this will happen in my lifetime. 🤞

‘Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had!’

I did that shift for just under a year, 6pm to 6am. Because it was overnights, first day of your weekend was shot catching up on sleep, and it was tough to do anything on the last one knowing work was coming up. But those 4-day weekends every other week were definitely nice.

Which is bullshit. We shouldn’t have to do that. Vacation days should be for vacationing, or at least lounging around doing nothing.

25 a year sounds like a dream

Still, doesn’t sound like it’s worth it…

2x20 sounds like a recipe for disaster, but I know 3x12 / paid for 40 is pretty common in a lot of fields.

That sounds amazing…

Yeah, I’ve done early morning shifts like that before. I loved being done so early in the afternoon, but I’m a night owl and always had trouble going to sleep / waking up on time. I can do it for about 2 weeks before I crash out lol

That sounds awesome!

Eh, except that was only ever true above a certain income level. There has always been a portion of the working class excluded from those perks.

Unfortunately, this usually just means they find a way to exempt themselves and still support the data collection

2013-11-08, so yeah, you nailed it

I thought this was going to say they were deploying Stingrays in neighborhoods. Pretty sure this is worse, because at least a Stingray requires something be physically present. Fuck all of this.

Yeah, I typically use 1996 (unlikely to remember 9/11) to 2015 (in school for the pandemic).
