Let’s use an analogy. You need to go west. There’s two buses on offer: one goes east, and the other goes further east. Do you get on the bus that goes less east, or do you just start walking west?

I didn’t make a silly mistake, you did.

(thanks, lol)

The right one will be twice as willing as the left one!!

0*2 is 0, you see

Oh wow just switch employers, is that all

Beyond that, you missed my point. Even if I were being paid more, I still wouldn’t have any incentive to make myself dispensable. Unless I’m vested in the company profits, then the profits don’t matter to me.

Lmao fuck integrity I’m trying to make rent

It’s not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn’t have worried.

Companies don’t care about integrity. They don’t care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?

Then they should pay me based on that—giving me partial ownership, for example, would incentivize me to do better for the company. As it stands, I get paid the same no matter how the company is doing. I only have an incentive not to get fired… which is easier if I’m indispensable.

Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.

That’s literally exactly how voting works. You can’t put an asterisk on your vote. An exuberant, wholehearted vote counts exactly the same as one where you feel dirty for a week after.

A great example of why debating Nazis is pointless. Throw a Molotov in the middle of them instead—it’s the only language they understand.

Do you donate to Mozilla?

Can’t hurt to try. And if it doesn’t work, try, try again.

Palestinians aren’t asking you to vote for Biden, you might notice. Arab Americans are voting for him in significantly lower numbers, in fact. If you want to pretend like you care about victims, maybe listen to them.

And, for what it’s worth, a vote for Biden is a vote for Biden. He doesn’t care if you scold him as long as you vote for him. Any ‘activism’ you engage in ultimately means nothing if you give him your vote at the end of the day.

And really, please quit with the ‘not voting is a vote for Trump’ thing. It’s a vote for Trump as much as it’s a vote for Biden—which is to say, it helps neither. The implicit assumption under saying it helps Trump is that my vote belongs rightfully to Biden.

Argue all you want: you’re here saying you’re going to vote for a genocide and scolding others for refusing. If you want to call that moral, I guess I can’t stop you.

Yes, I refuse to vote for genocide. No, I’m not under the impression de la Cruz will win the presidency.

You do not have the moral high ground here, friend, and trying to talk down to people will not help you reclaim it.

All appearances to the contrary, I am going to vote. I’m voting for the PSL candidate, Claudia de la Cruz, because she does not support genocide.

You can do much more than vote. There’s people getting beat to shit by cops all over the country proving it.

This whole ‘you have a moral obligation to vote for 99% Hitler’ thing is pretty tired, as the logical conclusion of that line of reasoning is that you should vote for Hitler if anyone worse than Hitler is on the ballot.

When that one thing is a genocide, I think it’s pretty fair to focus on. We’re not talking about our candidate’s favorite flavor of ice cream.

If neither candidate will stop the genocide, it’s our responsibility to refuse both candidates. Voting for Hindenburg didn’t stop the Holocaust.

Competent evil is worse than incompetent evil.

Software engineering as a discipline is pretty much a series of trick questions.
