They truly want you to believe this shit is inevitable and actually better than human endeavor but the one surefire thing that can stop it is not agreeing to the first two things. That’s all! That also means not willingly feeding it. It’s not difficult to avoid using it!

BREAKING: Our member was FIRED when he reported sexual harassment and physical violence at this Taco Bell in Carmichael.

Today workers walked off the job on strike in solidarity with him.

Before firing our coworker, management failed to pay him hours of wages. 🧡

it's not a bad way to drift off to sleep--the players' names are just absurd enough to stay almost believable, the fake ads sound goofy but plausible, and the commentators' banter isn't too far removed from some of the stuff you hear on an actual radio baseball game

"no one's putting us in danger" so, the American servicemen who got killed were just losers, right, Pete?

and there *is* fake baseball, a podcast that broadcasts completely made-up games with made-up teams and made-up players, but the goal is to help you drift off to sleep pleasantly--so the opposite of pro wrestling www.sleepbaseball.com

have you watched real wrestling (like HS, college, and Olympics)? stall warnings, edging off the mat, riding time--I love it, but it's only fitfully exciting visually

agreed--that zero sum/all-or-nothing approach (we won't win, so why try?) also lets people off the hook for doing the real work that could eventually make a difference--we're not going to win that union election, so why even bother organizing?
