 Lance R. Vick | Google fired 28 workers for peacefully protesting against it actively taking money to aid in genocide. That checks out. | 06:53:55 |
 hashbot | <ryan[h]> Honestly it was a stupid protest and I'm sorry that had to be the way Google loses some of it's (more) rational workers. | 09:45:18 |
| hashbot | <ryan[h]> Going to a location you're not allowed to go to, during work hours? I'd expect to be fired to | 09:46:08 |
| hashbot | <ryan[h]> too* | 09:46:11 |
 swedishhat | yeah, it was a "let's do something we know will get us fired but use it to get outraged media coverage" move | 20:46:19 |
| swedishhat | but yeah, google gets way too much money from military and government contracts to be concerned about genocide or suppression of human rights | 20:47:59 |

 ryansquared | come hang out httpS://jitsi.tildeverse.org/hashbang | 02:04:57 |
 Shane Engelman | Emphasis on the "S" | 03:04:03 |
| ryansquared | gotta be secure! | 03:04:36 |
| hashbot | <lrvick3[h]> Only a handfull of the workers were actually part of the protest | 18:51:47 |
| hashbot | <lrvick3[h]> Many of the fired workers were fired simply for taking a flyer or showing interest in passing | 18:52:08 |
| hashbot | <lrvick3[h]> They wanted to send a strong message to Google workers that no one is allowed to question their unwavering and profitable support of the US military sponsored genocide. | 18:53:13 |
| hashbot | <lrvick3[h]> Google helping the Isreali government murder the palastinians is as good for business as that one time IBM helped the German government murder the jews. If you prove to the US government you will sell to anyone without questions for any purpose, you will earn yourself military contracts to keep your company alive forever. | 19:02:59 |

What business person wouldn't take an infinite money and company longevity hack? | 00:14:07 |
| ryansquared | Well, the U-Haul place didn't have the truck we rented, and I now have a screw in my back right tire that I picked up from all this driving. | 20:06:02 |
| ryansquared | When shit fucks up, why must it always do so in such a colossal fashion | 20:06:19 |
| ryansquared | And the tread is too worn down for them to patch. Damn it. | 20:52:30 |

And the tread is too worn down for them to patch. Damn it. Are tires still $100 each? | 22:15:54 |
| ryansquared | I'm stupid and have an expensive car so I get expensive tires | 22:16:51 |
| ryansquared | I'm getting a new set when the Keyfork money comes thru | 22:17:04 |
| ryansquared | Soon™ | 22:17:06 |
| ryansquared | If my paycheck comes sooner then I'll just get the one replaced | 22:17:17 |
| Shane Engelman | Replacing one tire ain't a good idea if it's due to wear, but you already know that | 22:29:32 |

Replacing one tire ain't a good idea if it's due to wear, but you already know that So the Keyfork paycheck should be coming before the next paycheck, meaning less than 30 days of use. | 01:00:54 |
| ryansquared | I do not think it will significantly impact the wear to have one tire replaced maybe two weeks before the other three | 01:01:31 |
| ryansquared | And shit honestly maybe I just take it off and use it as a spare for the inevitability of one of them popping. | 01:01:53 |
| ryansquared | Happens often enough. | 01:01:57 |
| ryansquared | Had to go another town over for the stupid truck 'cause none of the places in town had one. Does U-Haul not have an inventory management system? | 16:13:46 |
| ryansquared | And more importantly are they interested in someone developing one for them? 👀 | 16:15:00 |
