Lemmy is called that because we have to keep saying “Lemmy read that article for you, ya lazy cunt”
Australia will introduce laws giving workers the right to ignore unreasonable calls and messages from their bosses outside of work hours without penalty, with potential fines for employers that breach the rule.
Yeah, if someone uses “ableist” and “trigger” in the same sentence, they got their personality from other people online who are also just desperate to make everything about themselves and feel morally superior to everyone around them
So ideally, one person should read the article and disseminate it to others, who then disseminated to others, all in the name of saving time? Have you ever played a game called telephone?
I have played that game! You make a convincing argument for reading the article and not relying on others to read it for you, as nearly every time I’ve played telephone the original phrase is completely lost.
I have fiddled with that concept, too! You are almost persuading me to buy a newspaper and have a look by myself, instead of trusting people to read the article to me, because when I send too many letter chains, the result is usually non sense.
First of all, thanks for the interesting outlook, it gave something to think about!
In general, I don’t like thinking in absolutes. It’s not like everyone will read the article or everyone won’t, some people will and some won’t.
There it helps me to break down to more categories:
People that will read the article, understand it, and have critical thoughts to share.
People that will read the article, understand it, but won’t have anything to add or critize.
People that will read the article, but won’t understand it.
People that won’t read the article, but would if something caught their attention (like a question on the comments).
People that won’t read the article, but would read the comments.
People that won’t read the article, but will comment something interesting about the title or the discussions in the comments.
People that won’t interact with the post at all.
Other possible categories I haven’t considered.
The telephone game is really helpful to understand how interactions between people of the categories above will go. However, keep in mind that the goal is not necessarily 100% accurate transmission of the author’s message. On the contrary, it’s possible people are looking for different interpretations, relevant information, criticism, and/or a laugh.
Personally, I really like it when people provide quotes they find interesting along with their own analysis. An example would be:
To allow? What? Was Australia requiring/forcing everyone to answer calls from bosses at all hours?

So you cannot be fired anymore for not answering your boss’s 2AM call. It nice to make to make progress, but the bar is so low it’s a tavern in Hades…
Don’t learn to interact with people by using phrases that you read on the internet, you just end up sounding like a fuckin idiot, which I’m sure you’re not 😂. Entirely.
Our labour laws are a lot better than the US, but there are some gaps.
One of those gaps is out-of-hours work calls/emails: there’s currently no explicit protection against your employer insisting you make yourself available.
Lots of unionised workplaces have a ‘right to disconnect’ clause in the EBA, but if you don’t have an EBA, you’re on your own.

Is this the good, banter cunt or the bad, you stink cunt in this context? I can never tell.
I took it as good banter and it’s a response to me. So if you’re offended in my honor then you’re a bit too sensitive for the internet.
I’m offended that you think I’d be offended!
Well I’m offend at your offense of my idea that you’d be offended!!
Fair enough. Cheers!
The “ya” bit makes it the bantery type. If it was “you” it’d be the stinky type

I mean you spend the time to read the article already, why not help someone else save that time?
Also, calling someone lazy is ableist, please don’t do that, you don’t know another person’s circumstances or if that’s a trigger…
Edit: For anyone interested to know more about ableism or why laziness is an ableist concept:
People like you make the world worse, not better
Calling someone a lazy cunt is better for them in the long term than being a self righteous wank like you
Edit to reply to OP’s edit -
Stop reading shite like that mate, it’s fucking brain-rot 😂
Lemmy’s in a fighting mood today huh?

Then they wonder why they grow old lonely lol

Telling somebody that using basic adjectives otherwise not considered pejorative is ableist is my trigger, so like… please don’t do that around me.

This legislation aims to fix that.
