I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider

attempting to explain to your mother that she may, at some point in her life, have made a non-optimal decision
ahhh honey, people lie about being sick
Oh illiterate honey that isn’t the topic of discussion
always be suspicious when someone tries to derail a conversation by talking about people taking ‘advantage’ of a social safety net. brings this to mind:
You know what, no, I’m adding to this:
@unaenanasinamor
“People lie about being sick” is practically verbatim what the management at my old factory job told me when I expressed concern back at the start of the COVID pandemic, that their staunch refusal to change or allow leniency to their attendance policy was going to result in a lot of people getting sick because it would make people still come into work while symptomatic and then start passing the virus around like a damn football. And these were concerned expressed right after we had made it through a flu season where that very thing fucking happened.
So I quit that job because I wasn’t going to get sick off of their refusal to grant any wiggle room for employees that started showing symptoms, and you know what happened?
A month later, they shut down, because they were overrun with positive cases, and one of their employees fucking died.
So. Your comment may be 4 years old and predate COVID by 2 years but uhhhh. Shut the fuck up, actually. Even prior to COVID I suffered every time I had to spend nearly an entire check just to get the proof I needed to not be fired. I never earned that money back. I missed a week of work due to a massive STAPH infection and came back to a boss desperate to push me out of the job because it was her shitty working conditions that made me sick in the first place.
People should be able to go to the doctor without it bleeding them dry and people should be able to take time to rest without fear of reprisals. Asshole.
I always wonder if people’s minds would change if they know how differently higher status/paid jobs handle this?
I’m sick and the entire process to taking a week off was canceling a bunch of meetings and chatting my boss, “I’m sick, I’ll be out.” His entire response? “Rest up! :)”
I took two weeks off this spring and applied for family medical leave, and he told me if it didn’t come through, to just take the time and not worry about it. I really do not say this to brag, I say it to highlight how deeply unjust it is that the people with the best healthcare and wages are also assumed to be trustworthy. Are you really angrier about somebody in retail cheating Marshall’s than about that?

also … doctors will lie too. Because they fucking hate writing sick notes.
My father is a retired doctor of internal medicine, and he hates that shit so much. For one thing, it means some shitty manager has turned my dad into his student hall monitor, handing out passes instead of helping heal people. It’s a waste of time and resources, and it’s insulting.
But the main thing is, a policy like that endangers people.
Say you have the flu. Fever, cough, sore throat. First of all, he can’t help you. The doctor is just going to tell you to drink a lot of fluids and sleep and stay home. Many many illnesses are like that, all you can really do is stay hydrated and let your body do its thing. But you knew to do that already.
Since you’re there already, he’s going to recommend some over the counter medicine, and if you are a loud enough asshole and your doctor works for a shitty enough hospital, he’ll cave and prescribe you antibiotics that won’t work because the flu is a virus not a bacteria, but that’s a whole other post.
The thing is, he has other patients. And some of them are immuno-compromised, and some of them have conditions that make lung illnesses or fevers particularly risky for them, and you just brought your extra-contagious self into the same waiting room they sit in. Touched a bunch of doorknobs, rode the elevator with a couple nurses, leaned in to hear what the receptionist was saying… all so that he can tell you the best thing you can do is not leave your house for any reason, which you knew already but your fucking job made you do it.
my father was so angry about it he used to offer any amount of time for any reason. Like, you’d come in and say, like, my shoulder is too sore to lift things at my lifting job, note for two days please, and my dad would literally just say “how long do you actually want off work?” as in, if you had the money to take six months off and wanted to, he’d write the note for six months. As far as he was concerned, the more it screwed over the business making both of you do this bullshit, the better.
So. It’s not like forcing people to get a doctor’s note prevents lying about it, if that was your main reason for thinking it’s a good policy.
I never thought about the doctor’s side of this! :O you’re right! you can’t trust ANYBODY!! It’s all just a waste of time, money, and resources for a stupid piece of maybe-legit paper.
somewhat off-topic, but I feel it’s relevant. My job is working at a call center, and I help oversee quality of communications. We used to have a system that allowed our call agents to leave notes on a customer’s account so that if the next agent needed to know what had happened already, they’d have easy access to it. For SOME reason, “product management” or whoever decided that was a waste of time or something? So they got rid of it. Of course, agents IMMEDIATELY started complaining because that was a really helpful tool.
You know what they’re trying to do now? They’re trying to decide if they should bring the note system back just as it was, OR... if they should let the AI of call recordings keep record of the call/summarize, and the agents would just review for errors. I immediately balked at the idea; these recordings are almost ALWAYS inaccurate/mishearing the customer’s words/tone and it’s just not reliable on its own.
This is a HUGE waste of time for the agents and a HUGE waste of money to the company (apparently), but they’d rather rely on impractical/inaccurate AI than their actual employees.
I guess my point is, companies want to make life more difficult for their employees in any way possible. Why? I have no idea. It seems extremely counter-productive to me....
Bugs life is really good it’s one of the many things related to bugs that can radicalize you.
what else related to bugs can radicalize a person? o_o

i think more people ESPECIALLY americans tbh need to get even just cursory knowledge of the protestant work ethic. there is a christo-capitalist reason you feel guilty when you are not working yourself to death. it isn’t just like, a common Symptom or whatever. it is from a deeply ingrained ideology in the west that affects pretty much everyone (even if you are not a WASP, ur still forced into this culture and will deal with its ramifications).

i’m losing my mind over this
I have cochlear implants and I can only buy parts to fix them or upgrade then from 1 corporation bc of tech exclusivity. upgrades to get new processors for both ears cost $23k & insurance only covers 90% (and it’s “good” insurance)
cyberpunk dystopia is already here for the disabled. fight for universal healthcare, fight against capitalism NOW.
