petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.

retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.

I think you took the joke a bit too seriously

You mean like when the emoji for gun went from something realistic to a squirt gun?

[-] teft@startrek.website 30 points 1 year ago

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

A continuous 30 day vacation is only 20 working days or so. In my country that's the government mandated minimum.

I think 25 or 30 workday paid vacation mandate is better for your mental health and productivity.

I actually get "unlimited" paid vacation days, which sounds like a bit of a shady practice. But I've already taken 30 days this year and I get absolutely no complaints. I'm planning on taking at least one more week this year.

I can't imagine not having any vacation days. America sounds nice and all if you're making 150k+ but I'd hate to work there at median income.

30 day vacations for all.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 53 points 1 year ago

Should be 4 day work week and 6 weeks vacation. There is absolutely no need to work this much. So many bullshit jobs, just to keep people employed and busy all their lives.

[-] scrawny_clown_snatch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Not just employed but underemployed. Forty hours a week for not-40 hours worth of money. We call it a grind because it's designed to wear us down to bare subsistence.

[-] BongRipsMcGee420@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Sure, that gets you the time off, but this guy flew to Paris and hung out for that entire time and found his "creative spark". We also need like 50% higher wages so we're not sitting in a Parisian cafe thinking "oh fuck this vacation is going to bankrupt me" or stuck at home unable to afford the flight to begin with.

Or is this just rage bait

Engagement is engagement, whether people are engaged through anger or love.

Engagement is the only metric these types of media sources care about.

Source not for consumption but as proof that it’s not just a bs screenshot for rage bait to push their link

Found a source from Business Insider: https://www.businessinsider.nl/im-a-ceo-who-was-burned-out-so-i-took-30-days-off-from-work-to-recharge-in-paris-and-found-my-creative-spark/

Still could be a rage bait article though.

[-] MudMan@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

I mean... I came here to say that you can go after the guy for being a CEO, but taking a month off is not particularly controversial over here. If anything, when I talk to a US business owner, which I sometimes do, hearing about how they are constantly working is normally more of a red flag than the opposite.

I'd settle for a Trebuchet emoji, because I'm fine with flinging billionaires across the landscape at high speeds.

Honestly, a lot more fun than a guillotine, imho. Think about the ragdolling as they tumble in the air.

EDIT: Also, the longer the hangtime, the longer they have to think about the decisions that led them to people wanting to fling their body a few miles with a trebuchet. No forced self reflection with a guillotine.

The CEO’s who are making millions of dollars? I don’t think really do anything, so if they just didn’t show up to work for a month would it even be that noticeable?

Obligatory reminder that the guillotine was primarily used against commoners who were the political opponents of the party then in power.
