Gregory's ServerCapitalism has convinced you that surveiling your every move is not only ok, but somehow good for you! Google reads your Gmail, and follows you where you bring your phone, and listens to what you say!
Oh, but you got nothing to hide? Yeah, alone time in my bed, if you catch my drift, isnt something I need to be ashamed of but I do not need a fucking audience. Google doesn't need to hear about some growth you called your doctor about. How does privacy mean nothing to you?!

Capitalism will lie to you for a buck! @hellomiakoda the self checkout is so that I can ✨forget✨ to scan stuff  @hellomiakoda @tamagotchipapi That's why *drummrolls* capitalism is currently convincing gullible idiots that it is so comfortable and cool that items get automatically booked as you put them in your cart and payed once you leave the store! @Natanox  @hellomiakoda worse, it tricks you into paying to work but calls it working for pay. that's the wage system in a nutshell.  @yoniden @hellomiakoda I would, but there's a very scary looking guy with a broken nose standing there, intimitatingly, to make sure nobody steals anything. It's certainly working for me… @hellomiakoda this thread is awesome and long enough that ive bookmarked it, and will try to boost a different post every day lol @hellomiakoda Agreed until here, as somebody who works a cash register along with everything else in the store, customers who bypass self checkout to deliberately waste my time can fuck all the way off. The self checkout doesn't replace me, it strongly assists me and lets me take care of everything else @hellomiakoda Frankly highly insulting that customers think I have nothing better to do than stand at a cash register @hellomiakoda I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately about how much free overtime me and my colleagues used to do.  @hellomiakoda I have never thought self check out was for my convenience! I've always avoided it whenever it's been an option. @mongoose @hellomiakoda cannot stand self checkout. The speakers are always yelling @hellomiakoda I have come to the conclusion they eff with your mind.. make the weak minds think they owe the MAN.. therapy people.. not even work in your own self interest sadly.. @hellomiakoda I heard the line "Will my groceries be cheaper if I use self check out?" and it just seems brilliant. The answer is obviously "no". @hellomiakoda ok but to be fair, it *is* more convenient for smaller purchases. And the throughput is much higher, so you won't get stuck at peak hours. That's actually very important for me, because near our school there's a supermarket selling good Leberkäs in Kaiser rolls for cheap and a lot of peeps go get those for lunch. Some others get other stuff there too. Getting close to 250 hungry IT students through within the same 10 minutes would be very hard without the self-checkout machines. |
Gay? Capitalism loves to wave the rainbow around to get you to buy shit, and then fuck over their trans employee when she wants her surgery on company health insurance. Hey, it saves money and if she kills herself, they can just stuff another employee in her place. Maybe that one won't whine about surgery!
Oh, gay employees make the homophobes uncomfy, and can't miss that dollar. They'll find something to fire the queer for!
