Not a fiction at all, painless euthanasia is very doable. A piston to the head is absolutely less humane than gas.

@amerika

Why do you assume not killing a criminal equates to them running among your people. Presumably anyone who would be worthy of a death sentence would be getting life in prison instead, so regardless they wont be running among our people.

@W_Lucht @stux

@ech To me his choice of people who surround him shows his racism more, not less. Somewhere in his career he moved from oppressing black people to exploiting him, right around the time he knew it was good for his career. So now what he does is pick exclusively minorities for every single position, turning virtue signaling up to 11, and then expects people to see him as the good father figure for the blacks rather than the evil tyrant, and it works.

It is even more evident when you pay attention to his language with things like "If you dont vote for me, you ain't black" which shows 2 things 1) he thinks he knows better for the black community than their own people 2) he sees blacks as uneducated because when addressing them he felt the need to use improper english "aint" in order to come across more relatable (a word he almost never uses otherwise).

@DrALJONES

Im not sure that makes the argument you say it makes.

I mean you point out, and i would have agreed with this befor eyou stated it, that the existence of greed and corruption is magnified as population density increases. This is clearly true. This in no way is suggestive that class structures cause it, rather than the simple population density being the cause.

As for class hierarchy as an extension of gender hierarchy, that too is a tangent and even if we agreed one is an extension of the other that doesnt advance the underlying point you were trying to make. So it is moot as well.

I have worked as an employee as well as been a C-level manager (usually CTO or CIO) in many countries including quite a few european countries, the middle east, and USA.

As I said, if salaried employees are being abused with really high overtime and not enough pay, then they negotiated a shitty contract. Lots of people self-sabotage and negotiate bad contracts for themselves. But thats on them. At every stage of my career I have always negotiated strongly and as a result I have never had these issues. I would generally negotiate very high salaries, work the overtime, and negotiated 3 month vacation blocks to oppose the overtime (which was my standard as a Sr. dev and team lead). In cases where I couldnt negotiate the vacation time I eitehr ensured to put time limits in my contract or if i felt i could handle the excessive work would negotiate very high salaries to make up for it.

When I hire people I always as the hiring manager make it a point to keep my workers to an average of 40 hour weeks just to keep them at their best. Overtime happens, but when it does its offset by extra down time.

@kneworldodor

Thats not time theft, at least not if it is within the bounds of the contract. If your contract says the time must average to 40 hours (Which is common) then it isnt time theft as it balances out int he end. Now if that isnt in the contract then it isnt time theft because thats what you agreed to when you were hired, and if you were smart you were sure to negotiate a higher price as a consequence of that.

Now if you choose to negotiate a very poor contract for yourself that still isnt theft, thats you making poor life decisions when accepting a job.

You are always welcome to share your views if you wish, im not going anywhere. Have a nice nap.

@paezha

@DrALJONES

Has less to do with class hiararchy and more to do with corruption and greed being common among our politicians. Their class isnt the problem, the fact that we pick the corrupt people, regardless of their class, is.

@paezha

@kneworldodor

Thats generally not the case for salary unless explicitly stated in a contract (in which case it isnt threft). Typically you are expected to work whatever hours are needed to finish your job on time, but you are also welcome to exchange that by working fewer hours during down time. Typically you are expected to average 40 hours a week, where some weeks might be 60 hours others may be 20.

@scott_guertin @georgetakei

@paezha

Yes, and long before that as well.

I am very resistant to nitrogen narcosis. I can breath air right up to the oxygen toxicity limit pressures while compltely ignoring the nitrogen narcosis... have hundreds of dives logged right at that line.

I feel like for me it wouldnt be quite as enjoyable :)

@stux

@zeitverschreib

Indeed.

@stux

@stux

Hahaha :)

@zeitverschreib

@jeff

I am a technical diver myself, full trimix.

I agree gas-based death is easily the most humane ways to go, and nitrogen narcosis one of the best.

That said you only get nitrogen narcosis at high pressures ordinary nitrogen hypoxia is humane but not at all like narcosis.

Hahaha I wish guns worked the way Europeans imagined they worked :)

No, desert eagle is a hanggun. Very powerful, but short range.
