TheWorstMailman,

Don’t even try reading. Just listen to the podcast “Homestuck Made This World”

TheWorstMailman,

Foundation and Empire? Foundation’s Edge‽

TheWorstMailman,

The dBrand grip is very good. The case itself is plain black, but being dBrand, you can customize it with skins. I’ve had it on my pixel 6 pro since launch, have dropped the thing a bunch and it honestly still looks pretty much new

TheWorstMailman,

Modern country music is just emo music while wearing wranglers instead of skinny jeans

TheWorstMailman,

This was my favorite T-shirt that I’ve ever owned. Wore it until it had so many holes in it that it looked like fishnet

Linus “spoke out” against unionizing by saying that he couldn’t legally do anything to stand in the way of his employees unionizing and wouldn’t want to stand in their way if they ever decided to. But he wants to make a workplace where people don’t feel the need to and if they did then he would see it as a personal failure.

There’s plenty to criticize Linus for right now, but I don’t think that his “anti-union” stance is one of them

Edit: in the context of these allegations, then yes, his employees certainly should unionize if the actual criminal crimes in this thread are even partially true. And if that happens then I will be singing Solidarity Forever for the LMG employees, but until that happens and we see how Linus responds to that this is just not a good read on Linus’ stance towards unions.

Edit2: it feels weird to have posted what could be seen as a defense of Linus under this particular post. I’m not a Linus Stan, Just a union advocate that wants criticism to be levied where it’s actually called for and this doesn’t seem like it is

Am I missing something? When had he expressed his hatred for unions? As a union man, if he had said something like that it would’ve pricked my ears. As far as I know, he’s said that he doesn’t want his employees to feel like they need a union, but wouldn’t stand in their way if they wanted one, which is about as good as it gets for a North American business owner.

If this stuff is true then they should unionize immediately. Solidarity Forever

Edit: I’m not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I’ll hold this L and learn from it

TheWorstMailman,

True. If he said that line in response to a statement about wages. I can’t say that I exactly remember the context in which he made that statement, but I believe that it (ironically, given this post) had more to do with workplace culture than wages.

Okay. So I’m not missing something. I guess I heard him say that it “would be a personal failure for him as an employer” as him taking personal responsibility for his employees’ treatment. A charitable interpretation, but just a difference of opinion.

I can see how people can interpret what he says as soft anti-union, it’s just weird to see you and others say things like this as if he’s sober sort of Robber Baron.

TheWorstMailman,

Fair point, well made. I would love to live in a world like this one day

TheWorstMailman,

Dirty? Nah, you’re fresh as hell, comrade. Workers co-ops are great

I guess I have my own special version of pessimism where if I see an employer not actively hiring Pinkertons I think if it add a little w for workers these days

TheWorstMailman,

Fair enough. I’m not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I’ll hold this L and learn from it
