O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.

truly one of the most upsetting things to hear in pretty much any context is "i'm used to it"

[valtsv]

let's hear some flat affected cheers and listless applause from the anhedonic crowd

[copperbadge]

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

with the context of Jax being canonically transfem the visit to the digital lake hits different.

miserable, sitting off to the side instead of getting a Marketable Summer Outfit™ from Caine's changing booth and joining in on the fun. the argument with Pomni at the end of the gun episode is probably still on her mind, but as a trans woman, i can attest to how even the idea of going to the beach can evoke dysphoria.

also telling that this is where we get this line from Jax:

[kisseism]

Jerking them off while covering their mouth, giving them the meanest edges and promising I'm sooo sorry about it only to hear them groaning and whining and to feel them pathetically try to thrust their hips into the air ♡

A local bar is doing like a puppy girl/cat girl rave type thing and they have plastered all over it “not a kink event, this is not pet play” and I’m like are u fucking kidding me…

this event is pet serious

"my lord with all your heirs are you not worried of a succession crisis." Said the advisor "trust I have asked them many times and all but two deny the throne." Said the king "my oldest thinks it's his obligation to take it and my youngest thinks it allows her to eat ice cream for dinner."

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

[backofthebookshelf]

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

i...just had my first positive interaction with a customer service bot. im shaking in my fucking booties rn

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

to be clear

this wasn't AI. this bot was a (relatively simple) series of algorithms, designed to respond to keywords with pre-written responses and guide the user on a "choose your own path" to possible automated solutions.

the bot could solve my problem because it was a common problem with a simple, automated solution. this is a thing bots can be really really good at! a well-designed service bot saves human labor by "weeding out" the common, easy-to-fix issues, so employee time gets spent dealing with the problems that do require human oversight.

at no point did I ask to speak to a human, bc the bot was equipped to handle my specific problem. if that wasn't the case, i would have been FURIOUS if the bot had customer-service-cockblocked me from talking to a real-life human. you know, the way MOST GenAI bots seem designed to do (i have stewed in so many hours of seething violence following interactions where an AI bot won't even admit it's a bot, much less redirect you to someone capable of sentient thought)

in conclusion, i had a good experience with a simple (non-AI) bot and it reminded me once again that genAI has set the internet back a fucking decade with damage that will take many more years to repair and de-pollute

@gendernewtral holy shit what??

[gendernewtral]

an update to my insulin pump (a model which is highly recommended by doctors because it has software you can update, unlike other models) would allow my doctor to see more of my medical data because of the way my pump would now function.

i technically had the choice not to update it, but if i didn’t, my insurance company would not cover the cost of fixing or replacing it if something happened to it. they could say that the damage came from not updating the system, even if the damage was completely external.

some of the software updates have been beneficial, and have made my life easier. however, the choice to use these new system has always been made for me. i can’t afford to replace this $3000 device that allows me to live without injecting insulin upwards of five times a day.

disabled people already live in a world that is hypermanaged by people who have absolute control over our health and safety. anyone with a prosthetic, hearing aid, or pacemaker can face the same problem i did if the manufacturer decides they need to exert their presence in our lives more than they already do. the “cyberpunk dystopia” is already here, and if you want to change the ever-growing vice grip of “smart technology,” help disabled activists. we’ve been here all along.

(if you want a short primer on what it’s like to be disabled and rely on technology, read Jillian Weise’s personal essay in Alice Wong’s Disability Visibility).
