@kbin.socialRight like I don't particularly like Zuckerberg, I just want to see [someone] kick Musk's ass.
Heh, my old job had a nap area adjacent to the employee breakroom. It wasn't a typical office though, it was in the medical industry with long and divergent shifts.
That sounds rough buddy, I'm sorry. I hope something changes for you soon. I could see working from home in a studio apartment getting pretty old pretty fast.
I insisted for years that I would be more productive working from home.
Many people I worked with disagreed with me.
The pandemic proved me right.
Tired of people talking about me behind my back (in front of my face, but in a language they think I don't understand).
Man, fuck that! Not only are those people rude, they're also stupid as hell.
Honestly this seems like a best case scenario to everyone except whoever has to pay rent on the office lol
Police kill more Americans than active shooters do and should be disestablished for that reason alone. 1/3rd of all homicides are by police. Homicide by police is the largest single category of homicide. Yet, police have only 2% of all the firearms in this country. To me, those statistics are staggering. We have actually, by several objective metrics, reached the point where police commit more crimes than the "criminals" do. American society is just experiencing whiplash catching up to the numbers because many of us don't want them to be true. Which is understandable, we have put a huge amount of collective trust in these institutions and it sucks to be betrayed.
Defunding the police isn't about idyllic utopias, it's about stopping the ongoing racialized mass-murder that doesn't actually protect anyone's community. Where I live, the police are a bigger social problem than any gang or mafia.
Defund, disarm, disband.
Here's the thing though.
In the USA, police kill way, way, way more people than are ever taken hostage.
Police brutality is a much larger problem than hostage-taking and given that context, using the police as a tool against hostage taking doesn't make sense.
1/3rd of all homicides in the USA are committed by police. Police also kill far more Americans than active shooters do.
Damn. All I'm saying is, they're fools for not demanding Reddit pay them lol. Fuck scabs in any context, I guess.
When has the SWAT team ever helped anyone?
This is not a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely curious as to how they have helped people because I don't really understand what they do besides steal drugs and resell them. They certainly don't seem to help with active shooters or domestic violence that I've ever heard of. Totally open to being wrong though.
