SOUND UP

[wilwheaton]

someone finally admitted it

[actual-changeling]

to me the absolutely funniest part of cunk on earth is the fact that every single scientist without fail says "not as far as i'm aware of" instead of "no" whenever she asks them the most insane question possible.

i dont know how much of that show is scripted but i think their reactions are genuine (?) and like. that's what scientists are really like. it's hilarious. all my uni professors do the same thing, they word every negative response as a "well sounds wrong to me but idk bro maybe i just haven't read about it yet so. whatever".

if there is one thing we hate it's definitive answers.

Doctor’s Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will

A woman whose epilepsy was greatly improved by an experimental brain implant was devastated when she was forced to have it removed.

A woman whose epilepsy was greatly improved by an experimental brain implant was devastated when, just two years after getting it, she was forced to have it removed due to the company that made it going bankrupt.

[marxistcrap]

Specifically, because she couldn't afford to buy the implant from the company. They basically took her implant back to recoup their losses. This is what happens when you privatize healthcare and health research. The group providing her with this implant should not have been able to go bankrupt in the first place, let alone repossess her implant to pay off their debts.

[femmeharlequin-deactivated20240]

This is what disabled people mean when we say that cyberpunk horror is just a reality for us. This woman was literally forced to undergo a surgery because she couldn't pay to keep the implant already inside her brain. How long till companies start repossessing pacemakers and transplants?

[whereserpentswalk]

Repo the genetic opera was about this.

[lemongrassenthusiast]

From the article-- "If there is evidence that a brain-computer interface could become part of the self of the human being, then it seems that under no condition besides medical necessity should it be allowed for that BCI to be explanted without the consent of the human user," he said, adding that removing it could be akin to the forcible removal of organs, which is — for obvious reasons — profoundly illegal.

I'm so sorry ma'am, yes I know your car was attacked by a Sudowoodo and your policy does cover damage from Rock types, but our system has it listed as a Grass type. There's nothing I can do.

[mollyjames]

Ma'am your pokemon has a ×4 weakness to ground type. We can't insure that- graveler are too populous here and look at its defense scaling. Have you considered investing in an air balloon?

[mollyjames]

I know it's tedious ma'am, but if you teach your pokemon at least one HM that will qualify you for our Expidition Bonus, which gives you a 10% discount on your policy and provides coverage for natural disasters

[mollyjames]

Ma'am that's our EXP-All plan, you have EXP-Share which only covers one additional pokemon

[mollyjames]

I'm sorry ma'am our company is no longer providing accident or disaster insurance in your area. For more information you'll have to speak with the Absol and Xatu in our Calamities department.

Unions are trash. Theyll Destroy a whole company for firing a shitty worker.

[gorgonsach]

unions are the reason you aren’t paid 2.50 an hour with steel beams about to bust ya head open shut up lol

[explorerrowan]

Unions are why you have 5 day, 40 hour full-time work weeks. Unions are why they have to pay you in actual dollars instead of “company credits” that you can only spend at the company-owned stores. Unions are why there are fucking fire exits at your place of work. Unions are why it’s not okay for your supermarket ground beef to be any percentage human.

You think your company pays you out of the goodness of their hearts? Or even out of “market pressure?” The “job market” is a myth perpetuated by the capitalists. Corporations would pay you nothing if they could get away with it. And you argue “oh, but if they paid me nothing I’d just go to another one.” Wrong. Because to maximize profits, they all want to pay you nothing. Corporations exist to maximize profits while reducing risk for investors. It’s part of their entire function to find ways to cut costs as much as possible, and that includes finding ways to pay you nothing.

Unions are your defense against that. You think all a union does is strike? If you pay union dues, a lot of that is spent on lobbyists in various governments reminding your lawmakers that you have rights as a living human being that a corporation should not be able to stomp all over. Unions hire lawyers so that if you’re fired for bullshit reasons, the union can stand up for you against your boss. They’re called unions because workers are uniting to pool resources so that they can stand up to these corporate overlords with more money than God. Unions exist because you might not have the words, resources, or time to fight workplace injustices all by yourself. That’s the whole fucking point.

And if a business shuts down because a union is striking, it’s because the business was abusing people and didn’t deserve to be in business anyway. Don’t make excuses for the corporations. They already have trillions of dollars and a couple million lawyers to do that for themselves. They don’t need your help.

The erasure of labor history from US history curriculum has caused so much fucking damage to this country. 

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Bosses: If you don’t like how we do things, don’t work here.

Workers: *Go on strike*

Bosses: Wait no not like that

[defilerwyrm]

A lot of union folk very literally fought and died for the workers’ rights we have today. Like no joke, bosses would hire goons to straight-up murder unionizing and striking workers.

All the most basic workers’ rights we have today were all paid for in blood. And conservatives have never stopped trying to take them all away again.

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

NEVER FORGET THAT LABOR DAY IS ACTUALLY ABOUT. I know people who legitimately think it’s like a secondary mothers day - you know, for going into labor.

But it’s about workers rights and the people who campaigned for it to be a holiday knew this fucking day would come.

If you are in the US and about to celebrate a 3-day weekend, thank a goddamn union worker.

[official-lucifers-child]

thank you osha thank you shift limits thank you mandatory breaks thank you overtime pay thank you labour laws thank you workers rights thank you unions thank you protesters thank you advocates thank you workers!!!!!!!

[liberalsarecool]

Conservatives will NEVER protect children.

Republicans will invent irrelevant issues and pretend to fight them, offering no contributions to real problems.
