@cstross "Don't threaten me with a good time!"
@denny @cstross Reminds me of a happy memory of student days when exams were over the sun was shining, we had brought chairs out to the front lawn and someone had just been on a booze cruise. As a neighbour walked past, she yelled at us "I suppose you think it's fun to sit around drinking beer all day!"
@cstross something accusation something confession
@cstross literally fetish material. Also, sounds great! 😆
@cstross "A fate I would not wish on my worst enemy" is a strange way to say "I've maxed out three credit cards on this", ai autocorrect is crazy these days.
@cstross moving to new york as we speak...
@cstross Sheesh, Mamdani’s not even mayor….yet.
@cstross people would pay ALOT of money for that experience
@cstross same as it ever was
@cstross that artist threatened to sue me once. This isn't the first time their femdom fetish art has been used for political ends
@foone @cstross Which line and what stop? My liberal self is curious to see more.

@cstross

As a mommy-state liberal engineer, I can't condone those working conditions. No PPEs, uncovered skin, no safety fences at high drops. Those stones are surelyheavier than 90/269/EEC allows for manual handling

They seem to have plenty of budget for safety watchers, but that is not is a replacement for proper equipment and procedures!

Also suggests unfair hiring practices - safety watcher is not the best paid job on a construction site, and guess which job is reserved for women?

@cstross

Look at this guy, his back is not going to survive this for long.

Make a healthy setup, where he can sit or stand normally, and she is on an platform at the right elevation. With a safety fence of course

@Zamfr @cstross re the uncovered skin, it does appear the sunscreen supply must be ample.
@Zamfr @cstross look at that guy lifting with his back! Clearly hasn't had safety training. Where are the shop stewards?! Are these people even unionized?
@Zamfr @cstross Hopefully they're at least getting a good uniform allowance
@Zamfr @cstross Don't like the look of their lifting gear either.

@cstross I get to wear leather at work? I ❤️ NY !
@cstross
Never realized that Rare Earth mining could be so exciting.

@TidalFlats @cstross

It’s all about process, really…

@glasspusher @cstross
"How to Motivate Underperforming Employees"
@TidalFlats @cstross never looked forward to a bad performance review so much in my life
@cstross I for one, see no problem with that future lol ;)
@cstross There is going to be a kink scene in NYC!? This is a nightmare
@cstross Needs more visible ethnic diversity (at least among the slave-driving dominatrix supervisors) to more fully embody right wing nightmares.
@cstross Suddenly European Mastodon users regret sharing the image of a bald JD Vance so freely...
@cstross pffft. You think a union would ever allow such working conditions?
@emc2 @cstross
You're right conditions like that should be reserved for managers. 😎
@cstross Always scared of a good time…
@cstross
A significant number of them would pay good money to be whipped into line by beautiful women in mini skirts and thigh high boots. It's projection again isn't it?
@cstross The future that conservatives want is basically the same, except that instead of pretty ladies in fetishwear, the guards are all just pudgy white guys in “tactical" outfits.
@angusm @cstross They have MTG and Sarah Palin, I don't know why they're complaining.
@adriano @angusm @cstross It's not even original. The Two Ronnies ran an entire series on this theme, called "The Worm that Turned" back in 1980. Here is Part One. At the time this was mainstream comedy, but it's pretty unwatchable these days.

@tokensane @adriano @angusm @cstross

I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Attitudes have definitely changed over the past decades.

@angusm @cstross You're right. The heart wants what it wants, and I'm not here to kinkshame.
@cstross Rightwingers, even in their insanely-stupid nightmare scenarios, have a hard time conceiving of non-whites being in charge of things. I wonder where that blind spot comes from?

@cstross

When the left gets in, the liberals won't stand a chance 🙃

@cstross It's always projection.
@cstross
It is always projection.
And desperately banal.
@cstross Weird how they took a depiction of the US South from pre-1861 and swapped women for men.
@cstross a pretty good coming out, I would say.

@cstross They certainly are, but this looks like satire, and searching for that poster's name suggests that he's not being serious here.

Case in point: he has a blog that shows he's not a Trumper. https://drewpavlou.substack.com/p/maga-maoism-trumpism-as-a-third-world

MAGA Maoism: Trumpism as a Third World Movement

The MAGA movement has very little in common with modern Western civilisation
