In my experience CXX folks were all about being seen and having something tangible to show off to potential partners and customers. It’s one thing to give people a tour of your facility. It’s another to meet up at a co-working space and settle in for a PowerPoint presentation full of abstract numbers and graphs about your "virtual "company. I’m not saying that’s right, and I’m certainly not arguing for RTO, but it helps explain that motivation and total lack of confidence in WFH.

It’s still a “primitive ape-brain” thing to do though.

We’re going back

Awesome. Another high-quality graphical Rogue spinoff? I’m there.

In the meantime, check out Torchlight 1&2 if you need something to tide you over. They’re on the old side, but IMO scratch that itch.

Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s any worse than the oft-abused FARM USE tags.

I’ve also seen a few people just say fuck it, and not have any tags at all.

The downside is that the lack of sovcit “plate” might make you more likely to get pulled over. Word is those guys are a huge PITA for cops.

There’s some wonkyness here, that’s for sure. The major thing that makes this look legit is that the mirror is dirty and it has a correct reflection for the person’s arm and the trashcan.

IMO, it’s not even good phrasing and sounds hollow somehow.

Okay, the penciled-in numbers (but only for non-military time because who uses that?) just sent me. Easily one of the best “job’s done boss” images I have ever seen.

Sorry to hear about your dog.

I think I’m rehabilitated Doc. I can go home now.

Maybe. Please go into the next room and stare at the floor for five minutes. I’ll be here.

Because that’s what people outside of a simulation would do.

Not going to disagree with your cross-comparison here, but have you tried Korean-style fried chicken yet?

THIS right here. Mondragon is exactly what GP Is asking about.

If you’re reading this and thinking about starting an LLC, non-profit, co-op, or union shop, please give this a look too.

I don’t know enough to agree or disagree, but some citations would really help support your argument.

That’s such a laughably bad “unions bad” take. If there was such a thing as a kind of insurance where they fight to keep you employed, people would probably sign up and pay the fees.

**For some reason Lemmy is adding a ‘25’ between the % and s. Those numbers shouldn’t be there, just fyi.

The URL as shown is actually valid. No worries there.

The value 25 happens to be hexidecimal for a percent sign. The percent symbol is reserved in URLs for encoding special characters (e.g. %20 is a space), so a bare percent sign must be represented by %25. Lemmy must be parsing your URL and normalizing it for the rest of us.

Exactly. It’s a local minimum/maximum optimization problem as applied to genetics and evolution.

When I worked in an office, I used to regularly take breaks with the smokers, even though I don’t smoke. Not unlike following a bird or deer through the woods to a source of food or fresh water, the smokers really do have a line on togetherness. That and getting up from your desk regularly to take a damn break.

Force these shitters to make their products healthier for all age groups.

There’s a lot of nuance here, but in general I agree. Hank (of vlogbrothers and SciShow fame), summed this problem up brilliantly. To paraphrase: social media is engagement based, not quality based. Upvote/like content on all you want, but misinformation, propaganda, rage bait, and doom-scrolling fodder will dominate any platform where the only valued metric is eyeball time.

So, the top-down solution would be to somehow strictly define how for-profit ranked media feeds and news aggregators are allowed to operate. Unintended consequences of such a law aside, I think it’s possible to legally define a “well-behaved” social media site, but it won’t be easy.

Real question: how is anyone supposed to implement this without eliminating anonymity for those services?
