God, I hate how every dipshit smug chud is an econ expert because they learned about basic ass "supply and demand" in high school. That's all they ever mention.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 44 points 11 months ago

everything is "it's econ 101 sweaty" because that's where they stopped learning

Sure Marx was clever, but did he ever consider supply and demand? smuglord

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Curiously supply and demand only ever applies to things and the buying and selling of things. Never the labor that makes the things. The idea that labor is subject to supply and demand is deeply insulting to them.

Hey Anthony! I’m not against unions, nor I have an agenda. We are all in the same boat.

no agenda gang

since people were not forced to be locked up at home anymore and could have a normal life again.

hello and welcome back to the normal life covid-cool

Reminds me of how big companies like Wal Mart and Amazon will make their employees watch "training videos" that talk about how evil and bad unions are.

I'm in a union and I regularly get email and mail from shady libertarian NGOs and think tanks trying to convince me to quit

mega-rich-light-bending-guy beaming bad thoughts into the proles' heads trying to get them to make the world a worse place. Vienna Syndrome.

Holy fuck why aren't we doing that to them constantly?

They have money to do it and we're all fucking broke.

shake hands with danger but instead of safety warnings about working with heavy machinery it's just a bunch of mccarthyist propaganda about identifying communists in the workplace

Shake hands with strangers

Help someone you hardly know

I used to scoff at teamwork, now they call me

I have watched several of these videos and they are all the most cringe, terrible garbage wastes of time ever. They are only effective as a deterrent because they make clear in the language of corporations that the corporation will fire you if you do that union thing. But all of them can't help make unions look cool, because I guarantee that any worker who is in a shit job like that for a short time learns that the corp is not their friend.

What is petit communism to them?

Primitive communism?

Btw, read Value, Price, et Profit if they're talking about wage-price spirals. is literally one Chapter 1 size of Das Kapital, and it gains straight to point

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

Gommulism but small, probably

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Someone called them a petit bourgeois tyrant and they’re malding. That’s all there is to it

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

To them, it means "small + bad word me no like" and that's it.

Want to join the game industry as a junior? You just can't lmao, make your own indie game from your mom's basement or change career

[-] HotAtForty@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

Better: don’t romanticize it.

It’s a job like any other and when you try to make your passion your career, your passion becomes a job.

Build websites and API’s instead where the conditions will be better because everyone involved fully acknowledges you are trading time for money whereas in the games industry you will be expected to be thankful to work there and you will be expected to “have passion”, which means you will be expected to work 60-80 weeks during crunch time because “that’s what passion means.”

If you want to make games, it will be more creatively fulfilling to do it as an indie as a side project from your well paid backend server engineer role. You’ll have a better work/life balance. You’ll earn more money. And you’ll have creative control over your art instead creating what someone else tells you to create.

Finally, no one actually gives a shit if you make computer games. It’s a creative job but not one that has cultural cachet. If you want cultural cachet, be an author or make art or make music.
