    Funny story. 50 years ago, to this very day, a revolution occurred in which Portugal took down its dictatorship.

    The following day some public administrator/manager sent a letter complaining about people missing work!

    Translation after the letter

    Your Excellency Director General

    I inform Your Excellency that yesterday, April 25, 1974, several employees were absent from work, claiming that a revolution had occurred in the country.

    I clarify that this revolution was not authorized by superiors, and no justification was seen for the absences, especially as the service was considerably delayed.

    As the current legislation does not provide for absences due to the occurrence of revolutions, I submit the matter to your high discretion, in the certainty that it will deserve due attention.

      That’s pretty much textbook fascism. The worker is there for the benefit of the corporation.

    Eh, but this is kinda true for all trade/niche publications?

    IT publications would have, “Portal to hell messing with your wifi? Try this.”

    Cooking blogs — “Portal to hell, hello to flavor!”

    Meanwhile, a patch shows up on the Linux kernel mailing list — “fix rng behavior: portal to hell causes /dev/random to be less secure with increased frequency of 0x06 0x06 0x06.”

      be boomer
      spend 20 years nursing, educating, and raising your child
      turns out they’re just as much a fuckup as you are, but thanks to technological and social progress, inflation, and various other economic and political factors, living in a vastly more complex world than you were at the same age, so they’re struggling
      blame the child

    Our country is set to lose trillions in revenue due to the demon infestation, but experts agree that 90% of that is due to workers erroneously caring about themselves instead of their employer
