You know how all these companies are making it lives shittier?

Well people are what companies are. And people are the absolute fucking worst.

And unfortunately there are on orders of magnitude more shitty people who don’t run the worst companies in existence than there are people who work for the worst of companies that are making them what they are.

Find your people, the ones that don’t suck, because there are a lot more people who only want what’s convenient for them and can’t spare one spark of concern for all of the consequences that affect entirely too many people that don’t want their decisions

Trying to find a 2025 moto g stylus currently. Recently rediscovered hired much I enjoy a headphone jack. Headset runs out of power? Plug in and continue. Also expandable memory wouldn’t have lost me hours of recording that I won’t ever get back because my phone got a little wet and shit the bed

That’s a really lousy excuse in support of enshittification.

How do you know most of users want that?

Even if most of them do, that still negatively impacts literally millions of users who don’t want that.

Most is anywhere from 50.1% to 99.9%

So what are you actually saying? Because you aren’t being very precise.

Most people want to engage in hetero sexuality, so everyone who didn’t shouldn’t get to?

That’s the same logic you are using, I highly doubt you would agree that all non hetero relations should be discarded and given a giant middle finger. If you do feel that way JFC go touch grass or whatever

I never have a shit about Britney Spears but craigy Ferg earned a lot of respect from me when I warned this monologue

Uhh I saw Jon Stewart say he’s been fired from from shittier companies already so yeah

Also about my own experience. Poor people pay the difference in time. Did you wait more than 20 minutes for you 20 minute ride to become palatable to pay for?

Maybe not on here, but it is typical that is the problem I encounter with people who are vocally against immigrants. My experiences being my experiences(my algorithms online)

I didn’t read through most of the comments before I felt like commenting, for whatever that’s worth if anything

I don’t know that I would agree that newcomers are necessarily getting screwed, not anymore than anyone else anyway. And I think that’s why I have worked with so many. (Corporate greeeeeed)

Most of the people I work with still are better off than where that came from, it’s still a better life for them comparatively, and like I mentioned, they often have skills(opinions, preferences, familiarity etc) that allow them to utilize their situation to make them happier than non immigrants typically find.

Against my experience, I don’t mean to sorry for everyone else, but I do have first hand experience in this place so I feel comfortable offering an opinion

Cynicism

I work with a lot of immigrants. Here’s some random thoughts opinions and observations

They aren’t the problem. I’ve met and learned a lot from the people I work with. They are as amazing or as shitty as anyone else you know.

Most of the immigrants I know are from India or the Philippines(just establishing perspective), and some are first generation Canadians(children of immigrants)

It’s not hard to make friends with these people. They care a lot about community because it’s what has allowed then to succeed as much as they have. I’m an atheist the vast majority are solidly theist.

But like everyone else, they want something familiar if and when they have the choice, just like anyone else seems to

Most of our opinions are forged by how we grew up and what we learned about the world at that time. (Meaning this was the same for everyone I worked with and didn’t matter where you came from)

communication is by far the most common problem, it’s hard to be successful when you don’t understand what you are being told. Often that means not understanding what you are doing wrong. Hard to do if you don’t speak the language that company does business in. I felt this same way when I had to go to Quebec City to work. I don’t speak French. What I learned to do is exactly what the people I work with do, rely on the person or people that can translate for us. It can turn bad coworkers into your best assets if you can communicate effectively, even if that’s just a box with Google translate on it as your interpreter. Wanting to understand and trying to is going to get you far, even when you are embarrassed about the difficulty you have. You will be appreciated for not just getting yes yes, okay boss, and continuing to make mistakes.

Minimum wages in Canada are way better than most of the places people are coming from, but the cost of living quickly catches up to people. Immigrants often have much better coping mechanisms to combat cost of living than local people do. This is the crux of blaming immigrants for low wages, if the wages didn’t suck already then you wouldn’t have so many immigrants coming here. That’s not on them, that’s on domestic policy and employers fucking everyone over.

If also has a habit of treating anyone who cares about nuance as being a pedant and derailing because of it.

Usually the accusation “you know that’s not what they meant!” Anytime is pointed out that the words people use in an argument don’t actually define the opinion or argument they are missing

They very much meant to protect from the branches scratching the cars

They thanks. That was an interesting read

Just look at surge pricing on Uber to see where this is headed

Oh so it’s all okay if YOU do it, but it’s slop when an AI does it?

Alternately why bother leaving a message when they just ask you why you called when they do call back?

Then again I’m old enough to have had to use a rotary phone so that could be a factor in my personal experience

Ren - Hi Ren. Highly recommend watching the music video when listening to this song.

You may be crazy, but you aren’t the only one who has struggles even if their struggles are different than your own.

Best of luck

Thanks!

I can see that.

I did mean someone not learned already, not someone that doesn’t care to learn but I will concede the point now that you pointed out the flaws

if you have more opportunities to troll, then that’s also more room for disappointment as well, I guess I was thinking in terms of intensity more than opportunities. Thanks
