Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 13, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

It also has the main antagonist (the company) alternate between being doing things that are moronically evil (killing you to obtain a genetic sample that they could get with a cotton swab) and moronically nice but still presented as evil (apparently I get to keep the entire value of the things I disassemble?

The other big problem is the total inability to see outside their own perspective. So of course the union representative is a brave, butch young woman with curly pink hair, who signs you up to the union without asking, and the corpo is a fat, lazy middle aged man who thinks that training and safety is a waste of time and brags about how he rose to the top and you can too if you work hard like him.

Ya I forgot how much I hated the union rep lady. For a while I just pretended the story ended with me ratting her out to the boss and her being fired.

I've met real people like her and they drive me absolutely insane. A self righteousness mixed with a self centeredness that turns every interaction with them into a lecture where you can't get a single word in.
