    Yeah if you have pleb manual labor jobs like that I guess I can see the appeal. Software developer unions just wouldn't fly because you can always just get another dev job. Especially if you're even average at it. A software developer union would leave you stuck with shitty people.

    You worked at a unionized IT MSP or whatever? That is a hell of a unicorn lol.

    While public-sector unions shouldn't exist I'd argue that the Stevedore's Union is worse. Do you know the season of the Wire where the port union was constantly robbing the port containers and stuff? That is them.

    I grew up with the Stevedore's Union. They absolutely do protect all of their completely worthless shitbird drunk members to the bitter end. To the extent of catching drunk members on camera robbing the people they are supposedly working for then going on strike until the company drops it. The...

    Patreoned to Macronomicon (Generic Apocalypse, Wake of the Ravager). That guy is quite a good writer but his chronic non-finishing of stuff is kind of annoying. These are like his first 3 attempts so I am giving him some leeway. He's 3 books into Generic Apocalypse and it's still interesting...

    People like @Secrets and others in the industry think Game developers should unionize. Now, there might be merit for this within only the video game industry but I think it would be really hard to accomplish this even outside of the resistance of companies against it. Because the top, or even...

    Here's what I've read that sounds reasonable. Every year there are 3.6M evictions across the States. Due to the moratoriums, this number is backed up and since we don't get that time back this is going to take years to work out even when evictions can start again. After 1.5 years as of now...

    Of all the stupid ass things a bunch of nerds could have called their party room it had to be Cosby lol. To the extent of having a massive portrait of him. Even if it was some random bullshit they got at a flea market and found funny. Holy shit it's amazing.

    There's no highly speculative mortgage offerings out there like in 2008 though. What vector will cause the pop?

    Kinda unrelated. This is one issue I had with WOW even when it was released in 2004. I'll be the first to ride the dick of EQ's AA system despite the issues that it had. The sheer hugeness of it always gave you something to work towards and progress your character. At the time, I considered the...

    They don't have the balls or talent to do any of that. Even if they did it would take them a lot longer than 5 years to develop at the pace they seem to make anything. If they stopped and scrapped everything from the next expansion they've already made and totally changed the direction that...

    Nah he is a fucktard for thinking that the changes were not for the elite player base. He never liked them but he seems to think that they only benefitted the Timmy players because the uber players had to suffer them and would just power through anyway. He never liked them and thought they...

    Yeah, all the new constructions have radically altered their sales strategies in the past year. The house I bought in February was like this. This place sells one street at a time basically and always in blocks of 10 to deal with the Austin rules. In Austin, an investor can only purchase 1 out...

    Reprisals happened even to me at General Motors for horribly petty bullshit. It's all just super passive-aggressive and the smarter managers just conceal it in performance reviews under other stuff. But you know the real reason. It is very real.

    What is the opinion here on the housing market and the coming evictionapocalypse? Most estimates I've been reading is that every year there are about 3.6 million evictions. This was reduced to <100k due to the moratorium in addition to the year of non-rent payments. Which is estimated at like...
