My treats!

I make 20 an hour at a coal mine. It would be really awesome if i didnt have to be congested all the time and could still get all i need. Im not an ambitious person but i wont let my husband live in poverty. If the minimum wage went up a lot of coal miners would become fast food workers, and the coal company would raise its hiring pay to cope with that. Also, theyd start a hiring spree.

So by raising the minimum wage a lot of new desirable jobs would open up in my community and all the old workers who only did it for the money would have more freedom.

It might sound ridiculous, but A LOT of people in heavy industry dont do it for the money. They like the work. I sort of do too tbh. I woild probably quit and then come back to the mines once the next hiring wave started so i could get a quick raise.

I downvoted you, but i dont like how everyone is so mean on Lemmy now. Just a few months ago it was all smiles and conversation. Now its like reddit and everyone just want to argue. Im not arguing with you. Im adding on to what you said.

Yeah my familly left the USSR in the 20s less because of oppression and more because of their incorrect beliefs that America was a golden palace. My grandpa used to laugh about how his dad would complain that food costs money and that the company town was basically feudalism in America. Yet here I am, working in the coal mine just like my ancestors. Part of me yearns for the mines, and enjoys it more than my days off. My depression keeps me from feeling anything but hard work is still satisfying.

Thats how ive always felt about North Korea. America is why they starve

I work at a coal mine! ^_

I yearn for the mines. Its nice and chilly and dark. I wear all black and hate the sun. I thought it would be bad for my skin but the coal dust dries me out and killed all my acne. Now im nice and smooth, unlike my coworkers.

Apply at a temp agency and you will have a job tomorrow

Fill out applications after work to find a real job

Just become a landlord, idiot. :-P

I used to think doxking your pay was fake until it happened to my coworker. His car broke down and he missed his first day ever. The coal mine cut his pay by 3 dollars.

He still spends all of his time starting fights with the union people and removed about how they protect the lazy.

So it turns you into a Red Guard? :o

Why does China not have as many of these events? Is India maybe more rural than China, or is it some kind of law thing like Florida?

Your explanation is very consise, but i dont undsrstand why people arent as commonly doing attrocities to women in China.

I guess it is possible that its the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, but the current government of China isnt a fan of that era of Maos policies.

Dundun duuun

I just used an old computer, filled it with hard drives, and ran Samba. The config file has to be edited once and its a little cryptic but its a low maitenance thing.

With samba im able to access it on all my linux machines and my husband can use his windows laptop to watch movies from it.

I wrote a few scripts that are really just fancy aliases to quickly change directory to the files from my main computer using ssh.

My main computer has no gui and im using a terminal right now to read lemmy. ^_

I use ubuntu on it so it has a gui if i need one.

Everything he makes is gold. Lenin truly is the solution to baldness.

Yes

I use vim as my text editor. Its good if you find using a mouse distracting.

There is a steep learning curve and most people use it for programming. However i can give u a copy of my vimrc file and you can use the novel writing plugin in that file. :)

Thats not how the real world works anywhere but an office. I once did what you said at a construction site and became known as “sjw removed” as opposed to my real name. My crime is that i didnt want to work next to a guy that refused to call me anything but “the homosexual” and made political jabs all day. I wasnt asking for him to be fired. I just wanted to be on a different crew. My boss made extra sure his was the only crew i worked on. DO NOT tell your manager. If you are being bullied at work then its already bad enough that your boss will only make it worse.

This is useful enough for me to want to use it now. Any way that we can? I likebto write stuff in vim and this seems immersive.

ask a random homeless person for cop stories, especially if you live in a rural area.

I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.

I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.

Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.

Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.
