I was riffing on the original and translated titles of foucault’s most well known work. whether it was sarcasm or not; 🤷‍♀️

okay but consider that you don’t have as much surveilance of your employees, and without that, how are you supposed to discipline them?

…cluttered? the fuck?

has this fucker seen a cubicle? why did she allow it?

no, mine is broken right now.

wouldn’t shock me

it wouldn’t shock me

like I said; wouldn’t shock me.

im not sure its abuse? I know at first they were just collecting cat poop in the wild.

it being abuse wouldn’t shock me, but it seems like the only thing necessary to make this is just, like, the civets eating stuff they normally eat, then collecting their poop.

eating cat poop: 👎 drinking cat poop: 👍

yep. I know if it wasn’t unusable trash I might not have come over to lemmy.

in general. plenty of reasons you might be here, could just be reddit got unusable.

lemmy isn’t too evil. on purpose. mostly.

certainly less vile than facebook. “no political system is perfect so im’a just exterminate the jews and revere the fuhrer” is not a good look

and if that sounds like hyperbole, remember how many of your young-male and elderly relatives were radicalized by that social media platform, which has been critical or complicit in multiple genocides, finished and ongoing.

yeah but those are mostly gone or otherwise unusable now, one way or the other. that’s kind of the problem.

edit: I wish I could help. there are reddit communities I miss too, but reddit killed them, and they haven’t popped back up anywhere.

we absolutely should. facebook is fucking evil, and getting everything to move off it, damaging the network effect, is important for creating a more free and open information ecosystem.

of course, who do you think the courts are for, dear?

nobody young now gets to be old though. we get to die in the water wars. get witchy now.

so, media creators-the writers actors set designers camera people etc, they don’t get money for media. it’s just not a thing. the money you spend on a movie does not go to the people who made it. sometimes books. sometimes book money goes to the people who wrote them, but that’s still pretty rare. like, as long as the most recent contract negotiations with WGA and SAG went on for, their leadership accepted deals that absolutely fuck them.

so I dunno how to help them make a living. I guess the same way I would if I were paying disney; live in hollywood and tip 50%.

I can afford it

so you can afford to have disney fucking murder your loved ones? dude, that’s a level of non-material wealth that I literally cannot comprehend, im fucking jealous.

you don’t discipline power with laws. has never worked, will never work. you discipline power with pitchforks and torches and communism. you discipline power with a guillotine, or in a coal mine. nothing else has ever worked.

right but it can’t protect the powerful without gaslighting you, because the direct use of violence for control is really really fucking inefficient, and the use of pure terror for control isn’t much better. you need to build the prison in your prisoners’ heads, y’know?

this is why you pirate, so it’s still illegal for them to literally murder your wife.

satire is fucking dead. NEVER consume media legally. not if you have anyone you care about in your life. I wish this was a fucking joke,

like, when I read ‘farenheit 451’ and ‘free culture’ I thought I knew how fucking horrible and dystopian corporate control of culture could be. I had some pretty grim images in my mind, and got really into having my own copies of things outside the bounds of the various laws. then this shit happened.

that’s not how it works. the law does not exist to protect you; it exists to make you tolerate your exploitation and feel like it’s fair.

edit: fixed one letter.
