for products already captured if you need them.

Corps figured out sustained income was better than marketing and making products. All they had to do was take away every digital product and turn it into a subscription.

Then they’ll buy each other up until they are an effective monopoly and raise prices forever.

I don’t see a way out of this for products already captured if you need them.

My coworker once when I asked him a hard question: “Don’t make me lie to you.”

I still think of that a lot and try to work it in when someone asks me an impossible question.

Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions, I’ve found.

Agreed and well said. It’s very disheartening. For me it’s just another example of how pervasive and ingrained the patriarchy and misogyny is.

Same arguments, still wrong. Fuck off misogynist.

It’s so tiring seeing the men coming in and deliberately misunderstanding what’s being discussed. They will do literally anything, appear dumb as rocks, to not recognize rape culture and admit potentially any fault or responsibility towards it’s continued existence. They take everything personally instead of being able to see that societal problems there are also responsible for helping to fix.
