I’m going to make these weekly because daily is a bit hard to keep on top of. So from now on these wil be every posted every Monday (US time) Once a week is enough, right? Still not sure what comm I should post these in, because c/bloomer is locked. Maybe I should post them in c/doomer as a joke? Also, if anyone has any ideas for me to make these better, tell me! Anyway, as always:

Here it is, the daily thread to share all things good and positive!

Did you make strides in unionizing your work place recently?

Hear about a strike?

See a cool bug?

Help out a comrade?

If so, share it with us in the comments here! It doesn’t matter big or small! This is a space to recharge and remind yourself what you’re fighting for.

Comment anything here, as long as it’s good vibes!

    I realized something as I’m looking for a new job…I can lie too. Hell, it’s employer’s fault for being too picky for their own good, plus they lie to their employees all the time and no one cares.

    I’m a HORRIBLE “self-taught” programmer, but with enough luck I can bullshit my way into making a bunch of dummy projects for a portfolio. I have been trying to make videos on and off for a while. Guess what? I’m an editor-in-chief now.

    Porky’s a cheater, and will routinely call anyone who plays fair as suckers. So this is the one piece of advice I will trust porky on, I will stretch the truth if it means not starving. I mean hey, I’m a businessman, and isn’t a businessman lying actually just an endearing quirk that should be rewarded?

      What is a lie? In this business world as business people, it is our duty to ensure our brand is seen as peerless!

      I hate deception but you’re right, it is pretty much necessary to make it these days unless you are really fortunate. The annoying part is making yourself look good enough to get the position, but keeping expectations low enough to impress them with your work and not get saddled with extra.
