And now you’ve seen it (that same one anonymous unsubstantiated source) in multiple places too!

that same person treats others differently based on their gender.

Yeah, that still needs substantiating.

I disagree with men a lot in my work, almost exclusively in fact, it just so happens the one person who agrees with my takes consistently is also the one woman in my team, does that make me a misandrist?

For all we know based on what happened after the writer was fired, and the batshit garbage they turned season 3 into, the disagreements on treatment of the source material were absolutely warranted (and the fan reaction also mirrored that).

What we have is the word of a bunch of people who fumbled the only big name in their cast because Cavill also happens to have opinions and needed them less than they needed him, versus Cavill who was subsequently recruited for the 40k tv show, another property he’s publicly very fond of where he made sure to also be a producer so he can actually steer the process.

Had his complaints and feedback been meritless I don’t imagine he’d be given a producer position immediately afterwards.

I’d like to see something more than “trust me people, he was a total gamer chud womanhater for not shutting up while we crashed and burned season 3” before I go ahead with the misogyny route, especially because all we have to that effect is vaguely gesturing at his treatment of a specific group of women, with no actual events or examples that could be refuted or proven and plenty of valid other possible reasons why this could have happened.

Also, in other posts you said he was fired from both Witcher and the DCU and neither claims to have fired him. The DCU halted a bunch of products after the Black Adam flop and he stepped down from Witcher himself, unless you have evidence that is not the official position.

Frankly, it sounds to me like you have a very specific narrative in your head and you’re all too happy to amplify it by adding unsubstantiated details to make it feel more real and worse.

I know, I was pointing out your hypocrisy and selective criticism.

You still have not acknowledged you hallucinated or lied about the “sexual” part of the accusations.

Nowhere in your sources does it mention the writer receiving sexual harassment claims, he was the subject of HR complaints, which if you worked in corporate environments you’d know are both extremely easy to weaponize and don’t necessarily have anything sexual about them.

Calling a colleague a dipshit or incompetent in a public setting would be cause for an HR complaint and neither is even remotely sexual.

Thoughts, or will you keep ignoring that?

who eventually got fired for sexual harassment stuff

The source you linked as well as the screenshot you posted of the quote both say HR complaints.

You can get complaints for all sorts of things, such as being uncooperative and that being read as disrespectful to a superior or a colleague, for instance, or going behind a superior’s or colleague’s back, which sounds like exactly what was going on, and since they could not touch the literal star of the show they canned his only ally instead.

Since you said you thought this was blown out of proportion, don’t contribute to blowing shit out of proportion.

This reads a lot to me like “the first horse mounted archers armed with aircraft grade machineguns” but ok I guess?

A proper frenchman would never kiss his wife, only his mistresses!

“But for me, it was Tuesday”

This isn’t like, basic necessities food. This fast food.

The cost is the manpower and prep involved in being able to deliver food, fast.

The deals are there to make you check the rest of the website and be acquainted with their products, in exchange you get a price reduction.

There is no ripping off, you’re just not doing an additional bit of trading. If you don’t want food at the price Domino’s offers nobody says you must purchase from them.

I use names off the list of 22 fallen angels from the Book of Enoch.

It’s a really interesting piece of hebrew apocrypha that details the circumstances leading to the flood. Feels much more high fantasy/pagan myth than the modern bible/torah.

And a partridge in a pear treeeee.

Fun fact: i had to take a train through Switzerland and change trains in Germany, on the day a major swiss tunnel collapsed.

I made it to Frankfurt perfectly on time despite having to go around a fucking mountain instead of through it, and still accrued 3 hours of total delay on the remainder, 2 of which were just the train being stuck at the station in Frankfurt itself.

I’ve taken to calling them Scheiße Bahn.

LMAO how exactly?

Brush up on your theory, then.

Bourgeois doesn’t mean billionaire, it means capital owner.

I have owned my own business in the past and I am on track to be a partner in my current one, not to mention multiple properties.

So yeah, definitely at least petit bourgeois.

LMAO bold of you to assume I’m not bourgeois myself, but go off, king.

I’m not saying everyone should stop working! I’ve said that a dozen times now.

It’s not a matter of what you say, it’s a matter of the inevitable consequences of the arrangement you propose.

People should not need to find employment to be deemed deserving of basic necessities.

In most western countries, the ones wealthy and well run enough to have such a system, that’s already the case. You need to look for employment, strive to be useful to society, not actually succeed.

They should not be allowed to starve simply because they can’t stack shelves or flip burgers.

can’t

Yeah, that’s not what you’ve been arguing for, and you know it. Nowhere in your prior post does it mention being unable to work.

You’ve done nothing but arguing that people should not need to work to live regardless of ability.

They should be offered basic necessities regardless of their employment.

But not regardless of their willingness to be employed.

You can’t find a job? Cool. If the state comes around and tells you there’s roads to tar, you’ll tar roads. That would be a fair arrangement.

If there’s literally no work left to do for you there shouldn’t be a gun to your head, I agree.

However that isn’t, wasn’t, and likely will never be the case.

But I’m not entertaining your delusions that I’m saying everuone should stop working.

No, what you’re saying is everyone should have the option not to work (which they already do, if they can afford it) with no drawbacks whatsoever, making work completely optional for the individual, which it de facto isn’t for the collective as a whole.

Since, as you already conceded, food does not manifest out of thin air decoupling individual survival from labour, when collective survival is very much not decoupled from labour, creates a tragedy of the commons of catastrophic proporions.

Which means that unless some people decide to work for no reason other than funzies, or worse an understanding that they must take responsibility for no reason other than altruism, a lot of essential work just won’t get done.

I know for a fact i’m not getting up at 4-5 AM to tend to a farm and, for that matter, neither will you, mr “think about whatever it was”, but if society is not to collapse after this systemic change, someone will, and you are not entitled to their labour any more than your boss in real life is entitled to yours.

Salaries and tying able-bodied people’s quality of life to labour are ways to ensure not only that the work that needs doing gets done, they’re there to ensure it gets done consistently and to the required scale.

What the baseline quality of life should be is a matter of debate but if live in the west with the possible exceptions of US and maybe the UK, you’re absolutely fucking fine at the baseline. I should fucking know, I was there for years.

Work must happen so someone must do the work. Saying no individual person must, doesn’t mean someone won’t have to at some point, and the reality is that this work needs to be consistent and reliable enough to be essentially taken for granted for society to function (something we’ve clearly achieved given your worldview), which means it fundamentally can’t be done on a volunteer basis.

It’s a responsibility that must be dealt with at all times.

So if some people must work, who gets not to, in your world? Who gets to opt out of the must clause?

How do you divide those who must work and those who can just exist?

We used to have that distinction once upon a time, it was called slavery, or indenture, or serfdom.

If you are to be delivered your beets and vodka ration every month, someone has to make them.

If someone makes them they are expending their labour, paying for at least part of your existence.

And you know what?

Not only would it not work.

Not only is that fundamentally parasitic (which makes me realise you’re probably not a communist, as those guys are very not in favour of leeches usually).

But, frankly? You don’t deserve that.

I’d rather the person making your food get to take an extra day off than you living for free for no reason other than leaving your mother’s cunt because, ultimately, it doesn’t take all that much not to be a useless sack of shit, and you’re not even doing that, in this scenario.

Studied have already been done in this area proving it is entirely feasible.

UBI pilot studies are fundamentally flawed because they inject wealth into a specific subset of the population (the people in the test group) instead of absolutely everyone up to and including the primary and secondary sector.

If a handful of farmers happens to slow production down because they are in that one pilot progam, that won’t impact worldwide or even nation-wide production, if every farmer, trucker, etc. in the world were to do that at the same time without improving per-hour productivity, there’s absolutely no guarantee you wouldn’t see food scarcity rise.

As it is now, testing UBI is the same as a few people winning the lottery. Not a valuable test of a systemic change.

Meanwhile every country that has tried giving universal basic necessities without means testing or other counterbalances has failed horrendously unless they were autocracies with command economies, in which cases they were just dystopic hellholes, instead of starving dystopic hellholes.

Stop fighting your own liberation.

It’s my turn to post a quote this time:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.

~C. S. Lewis.

I literally just said we need to decouple it.

And my point is that you can’t make it decoupled any more that you can make breathing decoupled from survival.

Stop operating under the principle of “no work, no food”.

What the fuck are you talking about? Where the fuck does food come from in your mind? The fucking aether? Food is a product of people working. Arguably, the most important product that all other products stem from.

Until we figure out full automation that will always be the case, and even with full automation there will be a need of human supervision to an extent.

There will always be people who want to do the “dirty” work. You truly underestimate peoples’ ability to find satisfaction in necessary work.

Sure buddy, that’s why the soviet union had work camps, because people were volounteering to move to Siberia to do dirty work.

But jokes aside, that’s only demonstrably true if the alternative is not an option.

We have absolutely no idea what the world would look like if people didn’t need to work, because some people have always needed to work, namely farmers, and thus everyone else had to work in turn to earn the cost of the farmers’ labour.

The reality is that your thesis that “people would still perform backbreaking thankless labour on a scale sufficient for all of society for free” is not only ridiculous on its face, but conveniently unfalsifiable, because until non-people exist to do that, that will literally never happen.

Though we did have times where slaves, people who were not considered people, were forced to perform this necessary labour, and you didn’t see a lot of slave owners working the fields for free or otherwise so, again, no dice.

You truly underestimate peoples’ ability to find satisfaction in necessary work.

You truly underestimate the amount of labour necessary for the scale of production we need as a society to maintain this standard of living, and given your later comments about hardship I don’t assume you want to go back to medieval standards of diet variety and such.

Work should enhance your life, not enable it.

What should be is not a factor, what is is what matters.

Some people’s work enables your life. Without their work, you don’t eat. Not some amorphous “people don’t eat”, you. You don’t. And neither does everyone else.

Did you really think I was saying “we need to stop working”, or that “work is not necessary”? Surely, surely not?

Oh, but you are saying that. The fact that you don’t understand that is the fundamental issue with your argument.

Tell me, how much food does one person produce if they "go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”?

That’s not your problem, though, is it? You get to go back to school, someone else will work so you can faff about studying underwater basket weaving or some other world shatteringly important topic.

And who’s gonna fix the roads, so the trucks that move the food can deliver it? Someone else who is not going to school, and instead is inhaling toxic fumes so you, your majesty, can “think about whatever it was [you] were thinking about” which, I am sure, was tremendously important, which is why you are currently developing it into some revolutionary solution to one of mankind’s greatest problems.

Work is doing stuff that needs to be done. Work is producing and reproducing what is necessary for society.

No, work is using personal energies and resources to do that.

There are people doing this and not using their time sitting with their thumb jammed up their asses, who very often would rather be doing anything else. I know because my father happens to have done sto for 40 fucking years before he got to retire, and he was doing a relatively cushy job in the essential production fields.

These are people whose lives are shortened and made harder by their work even after they retire, and who literally only do it because it’s the best value for money they can achieve.

In some cases that is still woefully little, which is an extra level of travesty when it’s confronted with some spoiled asshole like you acting like anyone would be or should be doing those jobs for free, no less.

Portioning scarcity? Some say money does that, but even that isn’t true; at least, it doesn’t do it well.

Money is literally a proxy for work, at its most basic.

The fact that 500 years ago the Dutch invented finance to gamble on economies doesn’t change this basic point that, for the vast majority of humanity, money is a “work done well enough token” you can exchange for food and comforts.

Yikes. Big oof, my dude.

Heckin chonker pupperino, etc.

Compared to what we are capable of, though, with our level of technology and infrastructure, we’re doing pretty poorly.

I’m sure when everyone works for free you’ll see a great deal of work being done in the expensive drudgery of repairing and maintaining infrastructure for this hypothetical ceiling you still have only asserted exists with no evidence.

But, then again, by having a cursory look at your comment history you’re an anarchist, so you’re no stranger to believing hilariously stupid shit with no evidence.

It’s ok, kid. We’ve all been there, I was an AnCom in highschool, too.

See you in 10-15 years once you work for a living and have figured out why people have to pay for you to do it.

Or not, and not, up to you.

But it isn’t decoupled.

There are people whose work directly enables your survival, and that of everyone else’s around you, as well as their own.

Food production, mining, logging, maintenance of infrastructure, just to stay basic.

These people need to be compensated too, and they can’t just opt out. Cause if enough of them do, or if the ones who don’t are just not performing well enough, everyone is fucked.

This fixation that we don’t need to work to live is moronic, just because your job is not essential doesn’t mean no job is.

At its most basic level work is about portioning scarcity. You work to be assigned a smaller amount of the hardship pie on your society. Thankfully western society has a very small pie to dole out, comparatively.

The post doesn’t talk about working for someone else though, it talks about a job.

You can have a job being self employed.
