    Imagine going out for your daily walk and hearing something in the distance. You head forward and come across an open field, in the middle is a man, yelling to seemingly no one. He starts pacing back and forth, his volume increasing. You're startled. You edge forward to see what the commotion is, and are able to make out a few words. "Cuck" "Linux" "bOOmer". You're not sure what it means, but he turns towards you and you duck into the brush. A shrill voice calls out "Dood! My Job! they want me to get the VaxArEEnO!". You realize this is no place for you. You peak to see if his back is turned. It is. You make a run for it. "Anyways, that's why normies SUCK" he shouts after you as you run faster, starting to become panicked. You get home alright, but you don't feel safe walking around alone again.

    I’ve found this to be true. At my job they now require everyone to clock in by scanning their fingerprint. Even though it made me uncomfortable to say “no” that’s what I did, and now they’re looking at alternatives for those who don’t want to give it. In this company that’s been around for 20 years, HR told me I’m the only one who didn’t want to give it.
    No regrets. What we tolerate today becomes mandatory tomorrow.

      I did the same thing at my job for about half a year. I ended up going to a manager at the start and end of each shift and they would load the app on their phone and go through the process of punching me in/out.
      Eventually I questioned whether it was worth the hassle and couldn't dream up a scenario in which the glowboys having a fingerprint would be such a problem. I still don't know whether I caved in or stopped being unneccesarily paranoid but after seeing this video I wonder if me being expedient was a mistake.
      Best of luck in resisting biometrics at your job! I hope they give you access to the time clock app at your work so you don't have to deal with someone twice every shift.

    I think earning a high salary at a company job can be in line with individual freedom. Money provides greater agency, and it makes sense to try to earn a lot earlier in life to take advantage of compound interest through investing. In some sense, we are all slaves to economics, to the very real costs of food and shelter throughout our lives. A high salary allows one to liberate oneself more quickly from these masters and become financially independent. Of course, you should make sure that your work is not contrary to your moral principles, but I think there is room for that in the current marketplace of jobs. And jobs definitely do try to turn you into a specific jigsaw piece in the puzzle, but you can always switch to a different job internally or quit and look elsewhere, which provides an avenue for developmental freedom.

I quit and got a job as far from tech support as I could get, albeit with lower pay, but I have more time to work on my own pursuits which is far more valuable to me. My scope of reality became a lot clearer when I realized my job didn't define me. Just because you have a knack for something doesn't mean it has to be a career.

    This is even true in small contexts.
    If I do less work at home, they don't expect much from me, and are more happy, when I do things by myself, even if I just clean up my own room :P
    If I do more work at home, they often don't even notice it, nor do they really value it, at least not enough to be really worth it.

      A thing I read about that is that you should always talk about what you did so people recognise it. So, if you are really good at your job and do things out of your way, make sure your supervisor, boss or whatever knows about that, so you don't keep overworking waiting for people to realize that and that never happening.

      Of course the anti vax stuff seems worse online that in real life because a lot of people shilling to not get the jab are Godless zoomers who don't understand that we are closer to God when we get vaccinated against any disease. Especially ones that impact as many people as covid.

    The individualist path is usually rewarding, if temporarily tough, no doubt. Going along with the crowd used to be rewarded by society with stable jobs, reliable investment opportunities, a safety net, and a community that took you in and had your back if you just did your part semi-reliably. No more!
    So clear is this reality we have trouble accepting the occasional moment when collective action is actually necessary and beneficial.

    the thing about not even having control of your own body in the matter of your health go back to the demonification of cigarettes.

    it might have health benefits but this is a massive test of social engineering that is for sure, kinda like what ambientalists tries to do with their immaculate "you can't be against it" ideas.

The younger one is, the easier it is to make radical changes because he is still looking and searching.. And he has not so many responsibilities. But we must be a bit leniant towards people who for example live month by month, rent by rent. If they do not pay their rent, they get evicted. It ia not so easy for them to just get up and quit their job. And worse if they have families. So, although in principle, you are correct, let's not all be so quick to condemn the weaknesses of others. I have a lot of them myself and hope that i can manage to become better and not worst before i die, even for a little bit at least. Take care
