It’s possible to be in a union at any level as long as you don’t own the company

My manager though is only Team Level in a big fucking hydra, he’s got like 8 levels above that

Edit: well, there’s some unions that even let owners in, but less of them, and usually limit it to “only if the company has less than 500 employees and earns less than AMOUNT” (I dunno the number)

OpenScience is a thing, it’s been around for like 30 years

Scientific research doesn’t need a reason, that’s why.

Coming up with reasons is the job of other people, scientific research is about seeing what’s possible, what’s not, and how difficult it is.

Yeah on second thought I do trust Iceland to not fall for lies

That’s not true, you can still join a union, and you can always make a choice to disagree with your overlords

I’ll have to tell my manager that he’s going to have to leave the Tech Workers Union, damn, and he was enjoying being a member so much.

Yeah you misread, no worries

TL;DR - sponsored article disguising as an opinion piece, mentions briefly the many many problems with it, but ends with “I trust my corporate overlords to never use my data for evil”

EU food standards are fast far far more stringent than USA? That’s not wishful thinking

The whole article is just too many words to say

Because our legally mandated food standards are better

Ah, Poe’s law innit

the EU don’t require a referendum? Never have, probably won’t in future either.

They don’t particularly care how it gets decided as long as the request to join is officially recognised by the government of the country.

Some joined by unilateral decision by Party Voting (internal voting of the leading party)

Some joined by request of their allies

Some joined when the country reunified (East and West Germany)

Some joined by their Legal Court putting the motion into a Bill which was voted on by their Parliament

You do understand the other guy hates Brexit right?

What’s not to get. I’m disappointed.

It’s gonna get twisted by fascy types through misinformation and advertising so the vote ends up “don’t join EU”

Nah fuck this. Gonna get fucked over by Fascy types

For fuck sake

We all know that undocumented equals doesn’t exist! That’s how the world works!

If we obstinantly refuse to call it anything else, then it as twitter shall forever remain

I mean I enjoy porn, and they are included in your much maligned self-employed creators. Also I enjoy YouTubers also in that category, and Twitch streamers, and Artists.

Also you’re entirely ignoring there’s a middle point, the companies with less than 500 employees total.

And honestly it’s less often that they use it that matters to them, but that it’s seen by fools as dodgy for a company to not have any social media presence, so they feel obligated to have one.

Thankfully the ones at highest risk from Twitter getting enshitification are those which are trying to move away by doing posts that are like
