this is no joke, i’ve worked at two different amazon fulfillment centers and they do not care about you, they just need bodies and that’s all you are to them. and now with the holidays and “peak” time at amazon, things are even worse for the workers
As someone with 10 years of experience most of that being with startups. If you ever see the phrase “we believe in work life balance”. RUN! That company will run you into the fucking ground.
If a company brags about their “culture”. REALLY look into them, because that is a red flag.
Bonus. if they brag about their culture and talk about “free lunches” and “fully stocked fridge with beer etc”. Run.
Tbh I look forward to seeing whatever massive circular firing squad the right is about to turn into.
Imagine if you spent your entire life listening to people in media & the government agitate that somebody needs to vaguely “do something” to save your beloved USA of America, so you finally nut up and do exactly what they’ve been admonishing you to do, & all of your heroes immediately take to Twitter to disavow you & distance themselves from you.
Can you even imagine. I would be so pissed.

As promised, here’s the latest Prof.Peach withaspecial on Eevee and Leafeon!
A lot of you have asked, and you shall receive! Now and then I have the time to do comics due to popular demand, but my Patreon takes priority on what comes next.
DUE TO TUMBLR CHANGES I CANNOT LINK PATREON, BUT HEAD OVER TO MY PAGE FOR INFORMATION IF YOURE INTERESTED!
this is so scary and evil and I don’t understand how there are people who haven’t become radicalized from this. the difference between how white terrorists and poc protestors are treated has never been more stark and the role of police in maintaining the status quo of white supremacy is completely open and obvious. if even this can’t reveal to you that the system is fundamentally broken I don’t know what can
I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired
i aspire to great things in life
According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.
So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.
actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do
He forgot to switch to his blackfishing account lmaooo
it’s really important to me that people (especially young people) know how much of this goes on – like, I have seen chat rooms full of people like this brainstorming together on how to propagate this kind of deceit. Often each will run a whole bunch of accounts as different identities. Many of them are stupid like this guy, who would be terrible at this even if he remembered to switch to his other account before posting that garbage. But SOME of them are actually really really slick.
And they will do things like start you with premises you can easily agree with, such as “I respect anyone who respects me” and “you should be able to be proud of who you are” and slowly, half step by half step, lead you places like “people who don’t respect me deserve violence” and “there’s nothing wrong with white pride”.
Or they’ll start infighting among groups… they might have an account pretending to be black and keep re-posting a couple of pictures of mexican business owners making sure their businesses don’t get damaged during BLM protests… trying to make it look like mexican americans are “on the other side” to drive a wedge and overshadow the reality that uncountable mexican american protesters stood in solidarity with the BLM movement.
They might get real sneaky and have an account pretending to be bi, and then use that account to advocate for the inclusion of pedophiles in the LGBTQ community, using false equivalencies specifically to create a backlash against bi people or make people associate bi folk with pedophilia. Some 37 year old cishet dude might pretend to be a 23 year old lesbian and start blogging untrue fear mongering about how ace people use up resources meant to protect lesbian and gay people… because if they can get real gay and lesbian people arguing about it, that fractures a group that should be strong together, and alienates people who should be adding their strength to that group.
These are all the kind of thing that happen every day here on social media. ALWAYS do your best to talk to real life members of a community in person to round out your world view, and lean toward inclusion, compassion, and support when faced with someone online presenting a point of view that is trying to convince you of negative things about specific kinds of people – especially people you would naturally identify or ally with.
Be suspicious of accounts that seem to be saying your enemy is the person next to you. Even if that account is who they say they are, who is the account next to them, whispering propaganda and rhetoric into their DMs?
