As an American, fuck them Russian oligarch pig fuckers. Sent money and weapons to Ukraine.

indeed - we went from having ‘personnel’ departments to having ‘human resources’ departments - the person has been entirely eliminated in an even referential manner

It also infuriates me that when anyone says “I worked hard to build this business!” that they really are saying “I had to sacrifice my humanity to beg other people to do work that benefits me more than it benefits them.”

Imagine that the world of humans has been going on for 100s of thousands of years and the current system of economics that’s only been around for a couple of hundred years is treated like we’ve finally reached the pinnacle of how human beings should interact with each other to survive as a species, while we clearly see people in our species starving, being abused, being murdered for their race, etc.

The lie is that “Capitalism benefits everyone. And those that it doesn’t benefit aren’t trying hard enough.” Fuck that. I’ve been working regular, full time jobs all my life, and the trade offs you have to endure to keep jobs and/or advance in jobs are for things like your time with your family, your time enjoying things, your time appreciating life and other people, your perspective and views set aside to tell lies to people that work for you so you can keep your job where you must constantly lie to people that make less money than you that are often equally or more skilled than you.

Capitalism is a lie that is deeply highlighted in this thread. A lie of exploitation equaling opportunity. A lie of hoarders of wealth to convince others that they too hoard wealth at their level.

It is deeply disturbing what level of loss of being a decent human being must be discarded to keep capitalism going.

You bunch of carb addicted fat asses need to lay off the… wait… wait… ok… oh… nevermind.

I already looked up one thing and regretted it. Fool me once…

I figured this out. There’s a girl/guy there this person doesn’t want to take a shit around because OP is a notoriously stinky pooper. Everyone can go home now.

Movie theater viewing is superior to home viewing due to the communal experience and larger than life screens and sound.

While many of us have had bad theater experiences, many of us have also had bad days, experienced bad drives, bad vacations, bad trips, bad flights, terrible daily commutes, burned food we’re cooking, had a bad relationship, etc. ad infinitum.

Bad experiences in movie theaters are misses not hits. Sometimes you have a slump, too, where there are many misses in a row and to you those become a string of hits instead of misses and start to represent movie going in its entirety. It’s not true the same way you don’t have a car accident every time you drive or have a flight with a screaming child every time you fly or end up in a hotel or AirB&B full of cigarette smoke and roaches every time you stay in a hotel.
