  • Hello, I’m your boss. Saw you on your phone during your break in the video feed.

    You’ve been asking for a raise for years. Unfortunately, you’re a really good performer, always on time, good worker, and I’ve never heard anything negative that I could base my decision to deny your raise on. So I watched the video feed to find the most minuscule thing that I can pinpoint as a “problem”. I was about to tell you that drinking water on the job significantly decreases your performance, but that post you made on your break is now going to be my reason. Screw you. I love money!

    Sincerely, your favorite boss

    My “favorite neoliberal”?

    I’m an entire person, not a single-sided strawman. I edited my reply to also state that I think neolibs suck too, if that helps to unflatten my thoughts on this a bit. And because I think they do.

    I’d also like to add that I’ve seen this image and others like it posted in anti-progressive groups by anti-progressive people, instilling exactly the message I explained earlier. Which is why I say the message either isn’t clear, or just bad.

    I don’t feel like I’m “gasping at straws”. I feel my argument is somewhat reasonable and I hope my point is a little clearer now.

    I have to go back to work now.

    I mean that someone saw hostile architecture and then decided to photoshop a trans flag over it for political reasons.

    We, as strangers, will never know their exact motivation, but I think if their idea was a message regarding the unfair treatment of economically disadvantaged people or neoliberal hypocrisy, there would be much better ways to communicate the issue, that don’t involve something that can easily be construed as anti-trans messaging.

    It’s a bit vibes based, but you know… people ain’t robots, and even if that wasn’t the original intent, that’s how the message comes across. And I’d rather have a better, more poignant statement that’s worth repeating, rather than this, perhaps unintentionally, bad one.

    Especially because people will take this at face value and there are more photoshopped images just like this, making the whole thing a bit sussy, imo.

    Hab einen Vorschlag:

    Wir nehmen ein existentes Konzept für ein gelöstes Problem.

    Dass benennen wir dann um, sodass es futuristisch und neu klingt.

    Anschließend ent-lösen wir es, indem wir super geringe Energiedichte mit maximaler Ineffizienz kombinieren.

    Und wir nutzen unsere Lösung in einem Bereich, wo sich die bisherige Lösung nicht durchsetzen konnte, weil sie für diesen Use-Case die schlechtest-denkbare Lösung ist.

    Wissing (FDP) gibt uns 150 Mio.




  • I wish my existence could just be me existing.

    Instead, I have to advocate for my existence in front of people who look down on me and have to rely on the understanding and kindness of strangers and the zeitgeist to make me be safe.

    I’m barely allowed to marry who I love, and many people still reject “marriage” as a concept for people like me. I was once chased by someone with a knife for holding a loved one’s hand.

    People fought tooth and nail for us to be recognized. Many are still forced to do so. Sure, take the fucking rainbow. Take it for granted, just like you do with everything else.
