Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.

I'm not an ass, I have AS(S). I'm just a blunt autist. Keep your drama to yourself. :D

I usually post in English, but I know Dutch and American Sign Language too!

I really talk about #games a lot. Escapism? Bored? Something else?
I don't care, I just really like to game!

Oh and a fair warning... I AM a smartass!
All in good fun though! :D

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Can't quite compare it to tutorials (and I agree written is usually better). You have to see this as an interactive story, you have to enjoy the ride. Puzzling out things, 'I saw the staff behind that rock, how do I get it?' and have to walk all around the place. Oftentimes that's just annoying, but this game is interesting enough that it's thankfully doable. I'm meeting so many Norse mythical creatures there, and it's animated so nicely with animated cinematics too.
I love storytelling games.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 When one finds the hidden gems is the biggest pleasure. This game's like reading a book, or watching a movie, all in one. A very good book and a very good movie. In fact, it could be a movie imo.

Decided to grab the latest Fanatical bundle; Showcase Bundle 2 with games like Banners of Ruin and Legend of Keepers. Saw Röki in the list and decided to give it a go.
Oh gosh, that's a hidden gem of point and click games. Wonderful atmosphere oozing in Norse mythology. Meeting the Jötun, having a chat with the Mother Tree, helping out some Trolls, and most important of all, find your brother! Graphics are just about right too.
Definitely very happy with this.

That’s what they said about flying cars. :P
I don’t think this is a cop-out, I highly doubt we have the drive to have everything automated like you envision. I highly doubt that humans are willing to accept that kind of large-scale automation. I highly doubt we even have the resources to begin with to automate everything in a few decades. All I see is prototypes, and not even always succesful or even affordable.
No, seriously, I think you’re the one out of touch. :P

There are plenty of people who will never have the intellectual capacity to grow beyond a cleaner's job. You're kinda telling them to fuck off here. A no-skill job will always be required somewhere. And I highly doubt they can all be automated. There'll still be plenty of those kind of jobs in a few decades. You're kinda out of touch there.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Ah, so your idea is only working with a competent government (which isn’t also short-staffed) which can actually check up all companies to make sure everything’s done fairly?
Yeah.. good luck, heh.
And examples.. well I’ve read about the work conditions of Amazon workers, for example. How can that even exist? It’d not be doable here. Not legally.
I assume that the Amazon warehouse conditions are legal because they’ve been talked about so much, and seemingly haven’t improved.

Wait, there'll always be a job needing cleaners and suchlike. A fulltime cleaner should be able to have a liveable wage. That's what minimum wage is for.

As far as I see it:
(Big) Companies have a lot of power already. Individual workers have considerably less power. Them working together (and forming an union) protects them against the power of companies. Especially big companies.
You’re talking about antitrust and such, but how does that protect the workers? Will they even bother with the individual workers? A sole worker doesn’t have an army of lawyers behind them to do what is right. An union does.
I only have to look at the USA and see how things are shit for the workers in anti-Union states. How would that get fixed anytime soon? Individual workers can hardly demand improvements like an union can. They just get fired and other victims get hired.
No, somehow I’m really not convinced by your arguments. We’ve already got running examples of what you think should have been, and we can see it’s not really an improvement to those workers there.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Well, the strikes aren’t always about increasing wages, actually. It’s also about lowering work pressure and all that. You seem to be focused on price-fixing here.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 We had teacher strikes, cop strikes, etc, because of the government’s decisions. Only possible with unions because how else will you organize this? Here the strikes are usually against government, not so much against companies. At least, not at that large scale. How do you figure this will fit here?

@npub1kpw…xzz4 *Giggles* Self-checkout machines are starting to fall in disfavor around here because theft is hugely on the rise due to inflation. Those companies aren't saving anything, just as a funny aside.
There's a personnel shortage everywhere, too. I'd say minimum wage is actually helping out a lot right now. If there was too many workers and not enough jobs, you'd have a point. But right now, not really.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Huh. That might be an American thing? Here, people are reluctant to hire well-educated people for low-skill jobs, because they tend to stay a short time because they'd get bored and move on to jobs that actually suit their level.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 How does minimum wage cause harm to the poor?

2023-08-05 20:23:17

@npub1kpw…xzz4 Unions is to give the workers a fair treatment, isn't it? To stop companies from acting like assholes to their workers.
Price-fixing labour sounds not as bad as price-fixing the market. After all, what is minimum wage if not price-fixing too? Or did you want to get rid of that as well?
