I avoid them if I can. If the store wants me to work for them, they can pay me. If they don’t have any available human checkers, I will pay myself by accidentally not charging some of the items. I have left stores and attempt to tell store managers why.
If we had a sane economic system where jobless folks still got their needs met, I’d be all for automation. But we don’t. So every time we allow the corporations to profit with less human workers, we are fucking over our fellow humans.
- Comment on The US is investigating if Boeing ensured a part that blew off a jet was made to design standards 9 months ago:
“One of the employees at Spirit AeroSystems, which reportedly manufactured the door plug that blew out of an Alaska Airlines flight over Portland, Oregon, allegedly told company officials about an “excessive amount of defects,” according to the federal complaint and corresponding internal corporate documents reviewed by us.
According to the court documents, the employee told a colleague that “he believed it was just a matter of time until a major defect escaped to a customer.”

You paid money for something and then you find you can’t use it again. You seriously think that isn’t fucked up?
- Comment on Google Removes App That Helps People Boycott Pro-Israel Companies 11 months ago:
Before the Zionist movement, Palestine was ruled first by the Ottomans and then the British. Prior to Zionism, the land held Christians (the latest bombardment destroyed the 3rd oldest Christian Church in the world), Muslims, and Jews. In fact the early Palestinian national movement considered Jewish Palestinians to be Palestinian and their demands them full rights in a secular state of Palestine.

Genetics, if that matters, shows that the pre-zionist natives of Palestine are closely related to European (Sepahrdic and Ashkenazi) Jews. Basically some people left centuries ago, but some people stayed.
Now since 1948 those that left want to kick out those that stayed, or kill them if they don’t leave.

There are covenants all through Israel that forbid travel and residency by “full citizens” Palestinians of Israeli citizenship. There are separate schools. Do we not remember “separate is not equal”?

There’s homophobic remarks and there are songs that are nothing but homophobia from start to end.

Quoting from the song, “LGBTQ, Let God Burn Them Quickly” Does that qualify?

Quoting from the song, “LGBTQ, Let God Burn Them Quickly” Is that not hate speech?
- Comment on The EU says X is the worst platform for disinformation | Just as it removes a way to report election misinformation 1 year ago:
We should all keep calling it Twitter and let Elon get pissed at getting dead-named.
- Comment on Tesla is the next biggest union target in the United States. Sorry, Elon Musk 1 year ago:
My experience says that they’d point at non union competition as an excuse to say no to union demands in negotiations.
- Comment on Ford lays off 600 workers at plant targeted by UAW strike 1 year ago:
It depends on the kind of strike. Workers that strike over a company’s unfair labor practice are protected from permanent replacements. This is not that tho. While they are far apart, I don’t think they can accuse the companies of refusing to negotiate.
Of course if the union wins the strike then no replacement.
- Comment on The endless battle to banish the world’s most notorious stalker website 1 year ago:
You are comparing the work of a mass of people to fight back against hate with the actions of authorities and institutions.
Can you see how the work of masses of people is more democratic?
- Comment on These Women Tried to Warn Us About AI 1 year ago:
Please show me where I made any accusations to you. I think you doth protest too much.
Being color blind (or which ever) won’t fight racism. If we don’t acknowledge the difference we end up ignoring the problem. And yes, who they are matters because their experience isn’t something you or I could provide. It isn’t necessarily a fault of ours that we can never know thier experience; we just aren’t treated like they are.
Yes, fuck the rich. But the working class that must fight the rich is a diverse working class.

You mean the women whose degrees and careers were working on AI and who published informed critiques and who were fired for not retracting their criticism?
