Hey, great job 👍. If you want to protect again insect damage and prevent bolting, use row covers. Makes a huge difference for me.

Wait you guys have $200?

Tech needs a union. Yes, tech workers get paid pretty well. But we really need more say in how the products of our labour are being used. I don’t know how to work in this industry and be an ethical person anymore, and “change from within” doesn’t work when you don’t have a seat at the big boys’ table.

When I started my career, I thought the internet would bring knowledge and enlightenment. It was a just cause. I guess I was just another brainwashed tech utopian. Now it’s getting hard to find a job building something that isn’t an obvious scam or a way to fuck over the working class.

Sure but have you considered abandoning the cities and starting Ewok-style villages in the forest?

I feel that. Normal day to day life: a million things to juggle and I don’t even know where to start. Crisis: one thing to worry about so I go all hyper focus–100% of neurons are all engaged toward singular purpose.

Aren’t they all?

A prodigal sourcer too.

Yes, very. It’ll take over and shade out trees if you let it.

Oh and potato chips? Forget about it. Dill pickle, salt and vinegar, ketchup… We can’t be expected to go on without ketchup chips. Looks like big red has got us this time boys. 😋

No because AI doesn’t exist.

Because every time the US elite needs to distract the crazies they whip out the UFO circuses and the rubes lap that shit up. Honestly it’s getting embarrassing for all parties involved.

You wanna know why aliens don’t visit this planet?

We could die a little faster if it helps.

Do you love mass shootings or just hate having healthcare?

Yeah but you guys still have the guillotines in storage or something though, right? Might be time to dust them off.

No it can’t

Well just air drop them a good indica and we’ll have this whole thing sorted in a week.

I get your point, but I think the image you have in your head of rustic countryside life, hard work and an honest living isn’t the reality these child slaves are part of.

Seems a bit less terrible when you inherit the farm at some point, for one. Second, one would assume that parents would take steps to prioritize their child’s health and safety and wow do they not do that on industrial farms. And third, can’t be an honest living if you’re not actually being paid, you know, a living.

I don’t think both sides are experiencing cognitive dissonance. In practice, they both appear to be working against the interests of the working class.
