A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

Task failed successfully. Any company willing to get defensive in writing clearly has some horrific practices.
That is true, but a shitty job is still better than homelessness and starvation, Both dodged a bullet and also really sucks
I personally think a horrible employer is worse than homelessness. I actually spent less time hungry what time I didn't have a place and always had the shelter at night before getting back on my feet.
Shitty job; I woke up nauseous every morning. Always had this sort of dread. A general depression from the abuse and general humiliation of the workplace. We really know how to grind the average white collar to ash and dump them in the garbage when they get older.
I agree with you 100%, with a small caveat, that it is an individual choice and preference to choose between a shitty job and homelessness. The streets can be hard, and getting back into a house is almost impossibly hard for so many people.
It is a shitty system by design. no good outcomes and arguing about which shitty outcome is less shitty is a waste of time. I really hope you are housed and have a good job.
