  • Sorry but I don’t think any country at this moment would be too happy to welcome fucking genocidal rapists maniac ex-convicted murderers.
    The fact that at some point along the way they went “aww this is so cold and they’re shooting back at me, I’m off” doesn’t make those bastard war criminals something one would want as neighbours. And paid for it too lol. No thanks.

    Not everything can be sorted with a cost-expenses spreadsheet.






  • Nah. People get really pissed when they’re REALLY hungry.

    We’re kept at a perfect balance, we can’t afford top shelf stuff, but most people have enough to get by.

    Sure, it feels like everyone is a medium-sized misadventure away from financial collapse, but still, we get by. We have Internet, shows to stream, cheap shitty fast food next door.
    No one can be bothered to go outside to chop heads demanding to redistribute wealth.

    Especially considering that half the population has been talked into believing that by pulling your boot straps you can get as rich as Elon Musk, and Trump is literally Jesus.

    There’s no revolution incoming, just occasional angry tweets.



  • A an European, where mandatory tipping is not a thing, I find this practice of outsourcing the payment of restaurant employee’s salaries to customers absolutely stupid.

    I really can’t understand how either customers or employees are letting this go on.

    If one isn’t able to pay their employees a living wage they should just pick another fucking thing to do tbh.

    I don’t know what “being registered to vote” means exactly in the US, but intuitively it sounds like an unnecessary level of complication and an undemocratic practice.

    Not that my country (Italy) can be taken as an example, but even being it the paradigm of red tape and overcomplicating things, people automatically get a voting card wherever they’re living and they vote.

    It feels like there’s room for improvement tbh.






  • There’s also to take into consideration the fact that people experience dips of productivity throughout the day. Like, I’d never be able to start something that requires most of my brain power after 3.

    For others it’s early morning.

    So, when I was in the office I would just kill time, go on coffee breaks or just do fucking nothing until it was time to go home, and I know for a fact that it was like that for most of my colleagues.

    No one works 8 hours straight out of an 8 hours work day. Working from home just removes the torture of sticking around looking busy.

    I actually complete from home the same amount of tasks I used to at the office, really, because my productivity (and that of others) wasn’t constant there either.
