A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

NGL - I'd take in a fox.

Their giggle is contagious!

Ya, until you hear its scream In the middle of the night.

And smell what their pee is like.

I’ve heard their scenting is pretty unpleasant.

This is true, you might have to breed for that.

Even the great arctic fox experiment couldn't seem to breed that out.

Curious, I looked it up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

It was done in the 50-90s. So I think we should take another stab at it, now that we know more science!

Now we can GMO that right out!

That's news to me. But it's probably been over a decade since I last looked into it. At one point they were even selling domesticated foxes to people as pets but were warning about their scenting. Thanks for the update!

They also lost their 'musky fox smell'."[6]

From the wiki. So seems like they did breed that out?

Shiba Inu’s are kinda close, and a lot less loud and smelly. They’re like dogs with cat software.

I want a dog to care about me more than I think they do. But their facial expressions almost make up for it.

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean they’re still dogs. https://youtu.be/26g7CfpV9_g

That would be pretty much any dog, really.

This is the best fox segment I’ve ever seen on tv
