Weird that people have such a positive view of the future....
Edit: I would watch this a show, just saying it sounds like a great romp.
....Sadly that tracks
bro wtf did I just read 😂😂😂😂
🤔 idk. I think 2039 is the start of the Water Wars.
What and you think the self-driving trucks will be able to drive themselves just because some humans are fighting over water again? Some will go and die so that billionaires can keep their fountains going, others will drive self-driving trucks to keep the rest of the machine going.
This kind of corporate fuckery is why I’m happy living out in the wasteland with my cannibal tribe. It’s really not that bad once you get used to it.
Yeah you really only have to get very good at parsing through the subtleties of dinner invitations.
you can say fuck on the internet
Not in 2039. The Facio-republican party banned that in 2033.
You fucking can't just say that.
I just googled "words you can't say on the Internet," and one of the top results was a reddit post about words banned on TokTok. I wasn't allowed to view it because Reddit hadn't reviewed the community, so... You can say 'fuck' for now.
Nothing makes me want to wring spez's little neck (nonviolently of course) more than seeing that stupid "this community hasn't been reviewed yet" message. You can instantly fix it by using old.reddit... for now.
You can also instantly fix it by not going on Reddit. Just saying—it might be good for you blood pressure :)
I'm convinced all of you people only ever went to /r/popular. Conversations are still plenty good on my front page
I mean, I literally cannot find another English speaking forum actively discussing the end of Land of the Lustrous. I guess I could try MAL, but talk about raising your blood pressure
Fuckable holograms? Count me the fuck in!
That's the trap though. You don't realize until you have it out that there's nowhere to put it, but by then it's too late.
Dang!
Fuckable Holograms!
Now with more blue balls & less consistent employment!
Sadly life in 2039 probably won’t be this good
Honestly surprised that people will have to be caught in fireable offenses during downsizing.
Except in America they'd just fire you for no reason if they didn't want as many workers.
Unemployment. It's what keeps most companies from actually firing people indiscriminately. I've had employees that needed to be fired, but since "Don't be a toxic asshole that drives good people to quit" isn't in the employee handbook and they showed up on time in compliance with dress code I couldn't fire them.
Getting fired for fucking the hologram may make the employee ineligible for unemployment benefits, which the employer would otherwise have to reimburse the state for.
I live in a "right to work" state, there are no required unemployment benefits. I got one paycheck as severance and everyone I told within the state said, " well at least it's not nothing"
This is why there's often point systems and other arbitrary shit that can be used against low level employees to fire them "with cause" very easily should it be time to downsize. Many people in that situation have found that, all the sudden, their managers are starting to care a lot about things they usually let slide (because they're ultimately meaningless). You're getting warnings, write ups, points, etc, when you're doing nothing different than you have been since you were hired.
Amazon basically works this way by default. They think their employees as so disposable, their discipline and point system effectively creates a countdown to firing for virtually every low level employee, and it's all but guaranteed they will never be able to get any sort of unemployment. Even the ones that can manage to meet the outrageous expectations will not be able to maintain it forever.
Reason for termination: he's a bitch lol
