    Alien: we will poison your oceans with synthetic micro particles

    Human: got that too.

    Alien: that it’s, time for the big stuff. We will create elaborate torture schedules that give you soul crushing tasks while slowly making all good things in your life worse as we condition you that it’s all your fault.

    Human: oh boy, you should probably sit down for this…

      Alien: fine! it sure would be a shame if something happened to these lovely polar ice caps…we shall slowly but surely shift your planet’s entire climate, until eventually you will boil like lobsters and the oceans rise!

          “Dammit. Okay. We’ll divide you up into arbitrary subgroups, spread lies amongst those groups, and have you fight amongst yourselves rather than unify!”

      A lot of companies in europe are moving back to a more natural, less soul-crushing work days and work weeks. For example making 6 hour work day standard, making half the days in the week shorter or just making friday free. Not to mention siestas and all that.
