This excuse for worker exploitation has always baffled me. 1. The contract was signed under duress: "Take this shitty job or continue to be unemployed." Consent made under duress is not consent. 2. It was agreed to under an extreme power asymmetry: If you refuse the job, your family will have to go hungry, but the company will easily find some other desperate soul to fill the position. 3. I haven't even begun to touch on all the class, racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination that workers face.
There's nothing even close to meaningful or fair negotiation under such conditions.

I don't know who this Fahhh person is. Are we sure they aren't just making a dumb joke? Because it's giving me those vibes.

Another reminder that Conservatives don't actually listen to the song lyrics
Conservatives famously have the media literacy of a tree stump.

Fortunately, Charlie hasn't said anything dumb or racist in a year
Socialism isn't a bigger minimum wage. Socialism is when the workers control the means of production and own the fruits of their labor.

That's the thing. It could be ANY city in the US. Car-dependent infrastructure kills local culture. It makes everywhere look like the same, ugly concrete jungle.

if imperfect skills are required
Yet no skills went into making this poster. No real artist. No real actors. No real plumbers. No real photographer. They say they care about skills but show that they don't.

Charity is only necessary because corporations like McDonald's exploit the working class. They pay us wages that are barely (or not) sufficient to keep us alive, then pocket the rest. All the billions the corporation makes is billions created by and stolen from the working class. Under a more equitable system based on mutual aid and in which the workers control the means of production, and own the fruits of their labor, charity as we know it would become unnecessary.

Trump Hits Record-Breaking Low in Polls as Aides Leak: He’s “Furious”

Yup. I unfortunately live among many of them, still proudly wearing their Trump hats and bumper stickers and waving the MAGA flag. I personally would be utterly embarrassed to do that at this point, but stupid people don't tend to be very self-aware.

Capitalist objections to socialism always end up being more of an indictment of capitalism than socialism. It's hilariously ironic.

You have to find game ROMs.

Warrior, rogue or mage, why?
Dark mage/black magic for me. It's just aesthetically right up my alley. Second choice would be rogue/assassin.

In actuality, their favorite parts of the bible are when God mercilessly slaughters innocent babies.

Just google the name of the game with "ROM". You may get lucky and find it quick, or you may have to dig around for a while. Remember always to use a VPN when doing so.
