Back on my bullshit

I work in HR (never, ever go into HR if you think you'd like to help people. You will not be helping people. No matter what it looks like.).

I'm not a huge fan of my company as they engage in as many cost-saving measures against the employees as possible (but let's keep making the big bucks for the shareholders. Can't let them down).

Open enrollment season is coming up, and the nonsense that SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) spews now includes an article on how the biggest challenge for employers is to get employees to care about enrolling in benefits.

There are gems such as these:

I'm sorry..."willing to spend less?" What a batshit insane way to pronounce "DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING FUNDS TO PAY THE INSANE COST OF BENEFITS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES."

And yeah - why wouldn't people target the benefits they're least likely to use in an effort to lower their benefit costs.

But employers needing "to ensure employees see the value of benefits." As though employees are dim no-nothings who need to have the "value of benefits" spelled out to them, otherwise, they'll miss out on breaking the bank to be covered.

It's the spin they put on these articles that enrage me. The issue is that wages are not enough to allow people to live. It has nothing to do with employees not being interested in their benefits.

I will forever HATE SHRM and the libel it consistently spreads about employees. Fucking bootlickers at SHRM are all about the good of the company.

YOU discover a giant meteorite is hurtling toward the earth, this will kill all of humanity including those on space stations. But if you warn everyone now the Billionaires can make it to their super bunkers and survive. This is an all or nothing game, do you want to save humanity by saving the worst of us?

Fine print. Only the billionaires would be saved. No other 'humans' would be saved. The meteorite cannot be stopped, escape to space is impossible for all.

Please reblog etc etc

Moe: So it doesn't matter what my crime is, then?

Isaac: Not really.

Moe: No, be real.

Isaac: No, 'cause I love you.

Moe: I don't think-

Isaac: Bruv, you would have to do something so fucking insane.

Moe: That's what I'm saying. What is it? What would be the thing?

Isaac: Like, if you fucking... killed people.

Isaac: Then I'd be like, "Moe. Come on."

anon, it's 4:30 am and im not going to go through and respond to all your points. just one thing. i know ive told you this before, but as a fellow member of the left i can assure you that indie animation studios trying to stay afloat is not the problem. trying to sabotage them isnt going to fix capitalism at all and it will instead just screw over a bunch of artists and writers. i cannot stress enough how far a small group of artists making a cartoon and putting it online for free is from Corporate & Cultural Giant Disney. you can literally watch object shows online for free man you do not need to spend a single dime you dont need to buy the merch and waiting an extra month for an episode wont kill you

Hidden Historical Ships!

Did you know a big reason the Cold War ever began was when Churchill insulted Stalin's and FDR's secret love child? Said child was kept hidden in a bunker in Siberia until escaping in 1964, going on to become this man right here:

You can tell who he got the eyebrows from!

The Soviet Union was all about revolutions, but mpreg was just too idealistic at the time...

The United States to this day has never paid child support...

Trying to explain to tech bros on Reddit that human beings are not in fact word calculators and that “AI” are not even remotely comparable to even the most basic forms of life is a great way to remind yourself that the real danger of “AI” isn’t some robot apocalypse. It’s living in a world ruled by powerful technocrats and businessmen who have deluded themselves into believing their fax machine is alive because they can’t really see the difference between an unthinking unfeeling machine with no interior will, desire, or life of its own that exists only to serve them and another person.

That I fear is a lot more realistic than a robot uprising or being turned into a paperclip by a Gray Goo.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Someone with a job people would call a career, and a livable wage.

Why does that seem so out of reach?
