These days, the only people still using this debunked wolf talk are douchebros, chuds, & incels.

Who am I to stop him from his Darwin Award? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Make them sort of like cartoon voices.

Barista working a Karen convention.

Lemmy, and occasionally getting actual work done.

Being a 24th century Starfleet officer being forced to do writing for a 21st century reality show must be especially soul-suckling!

I’ve now concluded that the Dept. of Temporal Investigations created the Star Trek TV shows. They’re actually temporal damage control, by papering over the temporal incursions and leaked future-knowledge by telling everyone it’s fiction!

The “probe” is actually a Russian tank turret lollipopped there from Ukraine.

The Lumberghs in charge haven’t gotten around to bringing in the Bobs, and Lumbergh’s too chickenshit to do the job himself, so…

I think a lot of it is crappy control-freak managers, used to “managing by walking around”, who feel lost when all the peons are out and working remote.

The companies that let workers act on their own recognizance are most likely far more pleasant to work for, while the companies that have a million little rules and do things like forced RTO tend to be the ones with asshole bosses that are miserable workplaces.

I’m sort of like that - I LOOOOVE WFH, and do it all the time, but at the same time, I work for a brewery that is probably one of the few genuinely good and decent workplaces, and going to the office at the brewery is genuinely fun. Helps when you have cool coworkers, and can drink beer while you work (though that’s rough on productivity…)

Well, a subspace anomaly turned the universe into a musical, who’s to say another one in a parallel universe didn’t turn everyone into cartoons?

I’ll just leave this here…

When Michael Winslow drives a cruck!

Some of it is the Disneyfication that goes with the enshittification at the Old Place. In pursuit of the Holy IPO, they banned a lot of that stuff. Some for good reason (child porn, toxic disinformation…), and some for not so good reasons (banning or NSFW-ing weed subs.)

Also happened at Tumblr (which killed it) and Youtube, which makes it incredibly hard on content creators as they get strikes on their account at the drop of a hat for petty bullshit. When a business goes big, and the suit-and-tie caste hear the siren song of stock options, all of the sudden they’ll start Big-Brothering everyone on the platform so some Wall Street boomer doesn’t publicly lose his shit and cause the share prices to tank.

What really annoys me are the pavement princesses - the giant pickups with the lift kits & such, that obviously haven’t ever been driven off of pavement. Bonus if it’s a coal-roller.

I’d understand when the big trucks are used for work and are built that way because the job demands it. But too often, they’re used as prosthetic penises.

Yep. When I have to use a grappling hook and rappelling gear just to get in the truck, I’m not going to find it practical…

Oh, no doubt.

And there are plenty of groups out there that know how to create …engaging… videos, specifically for the purpose of getting people to hate the Other of the Week. Wouldn’t want the peasants to figure out who’s really screwing them…

Ah, because every protest results in mobs attacking people and breaking things! Nice generalization there.

Algorithm’s designed to promote engagement. Getting angry groups screaming and trying to murder people counts as engagement.

As long as the screaming and arguing happens on their site and drives ad revenue, they don’t care about the murdering part.

Where’s that pic of a steering wheel labeled “FRONT TOWARD ENEMY”?
