In mathematics, one of the paths we can go down is truly evil: the actuary. These fucking people are the reason your insurance rates go up and change dramatically based on your zip code, among many far more evil things. -

Wait is that THE lemoncakes

MikeOTR:
My wife is wanting my attention, but I wanna play viyda games. How do I tell her I want to lose the plot and ruin my life?
-
SirLemoncakes:
I mean, people are people. Unless you're born with a silver spoon, we all need to do what we can to get by.
I considered selling insurance way back, mostly because I was feeling desperate and really needed work. They were the ones hiring and getting a job in my field at the time was brutal. But, at the end of the day if it's between my morals and having a roof over my head and food in my stomach, my morals lose.
Fortunately, I was accepted into an HVAC apprenticeship and they placed me in a job before it came to that. But if I had to sell Monsanto engineered seed to keep my family warm and fed? I'd be their top sales guy while it ate me alive. -

let me find the nearest crack house

you lost me with this, a lot of the country is a desert of sorts where mega corporations like evil insurance overlords are the primary employer in the area. those people need to put food on the table & gas in the tank, they’re not directly responsible for shitty insurance rates while the ceo buys his 10th home on a third continent. -
zomborg:
With stuff like insurance just be happy (not for them tho imo) that you still get to talk to a human. AI is taking over and one of the first types of jobs they will try and automate is insurance just bc of how terrible turnaround is for those places. -
SirLemoncakes:
Great point. I'm thrilled any time I get to talk to a real, live human without having to talk to those robots.
-
zomborg:
I do not have the mental for that type of stuff and I commend anyone that can put up with that long term in terms of their willpower

sunny:
yeah exactly - my cousin was born with a hereditary kidney disease & needed a transplant by age 12, thankfully my aunt/his mom was a match. now both of his kidneys are in total failure again… guess what, he works in insurance because of his incredibly complex medical issues & dialysis for hours every week, and the insurer he works for was one of the few employers who offered baller enough benefits for him to stay alive and healthy

SirLemoncakes:
What an ideal world it would be if everyone could afford to adhere so rigidly to their morals.
-
sunny:
exactly but alas, something something no ethical consumption under late stage capitalism & unless we collectively grow a pair and do a Nepal to the current administration we’re lining ourselves up for the firing squad ngl
-
SirLemoncakes:
Yes, this is true. What we need to do is organize, take over, and disenfranchise those with different (wrong) morals.
-
MikeOTR:
I think overall we're sorta fucked. The CEOs at this point have so much control. I wish we could do something but I truly don't know what that would be
-
sunny:
yeah the best time to do something about this was 10 years ago and the next best time is today
-
SirLemoncakes:
Agreed! Down with the Lead Admin bourgeois! Moderators unite! Burn the elite orange bastards in their ivory towers!
