    Are you a white house staffer carrying a heavy stack of top secret documents? Do you desperately need both hands to vape or to text roger stone a progress report? Try DOCDASH!

    Just request a docdasher in app and a helpful person like Yvegeny, Dmitri or Boris will show up to the white house on a motorcycle, take your documents from you, not copy and transmit them, and just keep them very safe, like tippy top safe.



  • You don’t have to be “Quiet Quitting” that just reinforces buzzword culture bullshit fallacy they’ve created. Give it some strength, you are now working in active defiance of a shitty job. You are no longer complying. You’ll show up, do the minimum, unless they decide to improve conditions. You are giving them the labor they deserve.

    Not “quiet quitting” - That term is “Millenials are killing lattes” level bullshit, likely regurgetated from some conservative think tank management consultant ghouls. All in service of giving the c-suite a name for the current boogeyman they can assign their fears to at that moment. The fear of you saying you are done adhering to the social contract that they have openly broken while giving you the finger.


  • Who are “they” and who says that that is valid advice?

    “Separate the artist…” is fairly accepted by any decent people I know as a way for selfish people to forgive themselves the burden of minor personal sacrifices related to their own consumer activities. The long form is literally, “Yes, Michael Jackson did horrible things to that little boy’s butthole, Woody Allen molested his daughter and married his adopted child and Bill Cosby drugged and raped women for decades, but let’s go buy their movie/album!” - you likely wouldn’t say the long form through, would you? You would hide and obfuscate behind, “sepatate the artist…” So you don’t have to say the bad things out loud.

    Nobody with any integrity buys into “separate the artist…”

    Also, to your point about this post, again it’s a similarly lazy way to forgive yourself the burden of trying to stay aware of these things and making little changes to how you vote with your wallet. You can absolutely do something like go shop at Costco this week instead of target - as one performatively eliminated diversity programs at their company while one preserved them as a stand. That’s where your opinion falls apart because yes, you can likely find something to hate Costco as well (because they are all garbage companies, but there are shades, they aren’t all equal. You have to participate to function, but you can do the slightest amount of work to shop more consciously. But that is the work you are trying to forgive yourself of.

    The point isn’t perfection, but to do enough for this week and try again next week. Before you know it, you’re shopping more consciously wherever you go.









  • “I am the pupil of Meng Tian’s History. Further innovate and meaningful change.”

    Yes. Very “we” and very “us”, exact sentiment and phrase choices. It’s exactly like I’m speaking to an exact, accurate American person, just like me.

    Sorry to inform, but you’re not doing great at the whole undercover thing here… I hope your supervisor doesn’t review this specific thread to evaluate your ability. Not really hitting the mark here… fellow American, typing on a Canadian keyboard.

    With such accurate and compelling work though, you could probably write copy for product packaging in Chinese manufacturing facilities exporting low prices goods to the US? Or maybe you could design those t-shirts Chinese teens will wear with American phrases, that don’t quite pass the test - Further innovative!!!
