Yes, exactly, it's just hilarious how many older people, not just boomers, believe this shit. None of the jobs I have applied for since graduation are jobs that I actually want, but I've managed to write some of the most stellar letters of application I've ever thought possible, so it's not like I'm not learning how to lie in my niche of corporate language. But just knowing how to say the right things doesn't get you a job. It never has. And if you don't have anyone "influential" to back you up, your labor amounts to nothing. And then you get shamed for it, as if you didn't put fucking effort into doing something that is mandatory but its outcome is arbitrary. God I wanna puke.

Think my favorite moment was when the US withdrew one of their aircraft carriers once they realized the Houthis could hit it (don't remember all the details, but I thought it was extremely funny).
Thank you, friend, I hope I will
That's exactly it. And it might just wake up some of those who have been scared/conditioned into silence to at least think about it. I don't think it'll meaningfully change anything, no, but then again, if they didn't care already, one QR code won't change anything either.
You gotta ask for permission first, from the baby on to grandma, the whole family, and then the answer is still maybe
I've actually met couple of people who are not so subtle about being fascists and they loved Andor, especially Nemik and Luthen, so yeah, you're right. They don't pick up on the shit that's actually being talked about, but they do enjoy the "by any means necessary" rhetoric A LOT
On behalf of all of us who get mistreated by their families for shitty jobs, I will mentally punch them for you so you don't have to.
Kidding aside, I hope you can, at some point, at least find a job that makes you feel good about what you're doing, and never have to concern yourself with these people's demeaning treatments again. We're stronger than this!
