    Anything where you're around the public all day. Rather wash dishes than be a waitress.

      Politics, in any form.

      Corporate, in any form.

      Police, in any form.

      Military, in any form.

      They all - I believe that institutionalized, hierarchical authority is rather obviously inherently destructive, and I couldn't willingly take part. In fact, one of the things that perplexes me the most about politics in particular is that there are people who do willingly take part. I can only conclude that their brains are broken in some fundamental way such that they don't see or don't care about the harm they inevitably do.

            Right after Project Veritas got subpoenaed by Congress back in, I think, 2015 or 2016, they offered me a well paid position as an interface designer for the website. I had been unemployed for years by that point, and I was extremely desperate for work. I never applied for the job, and I don’t know how on earth they got my my résumé.

            Suffice it to say, I told them to go fuck themselves.

                  This unfortunately is the problem with the police. People who see the police as problematic are unwilling to join so the majority of people who join are the ones who just want to have power over others.

                  There are many variations on the quote but a cop who doesn’t report a bad cop is themselves a bad cop, so you could be the actual good cop who reports their coworkers until you get fired from the corrupt org but if enough people did that we might actually see some change.

                  Cops also have a surprising amount of freedom to choose to enforce laws so you could also just not enforce laws you consider corrupt.

                  I am saying this as a person who wouldn’t want to associate with a cop but would love to have some cops who aren’t bastards but unfortunately #ACAB

                        That should be evidence to them that they are the bad guys. No one tells a job offer to “fuck off” if the company isn’t utterly shit. Even if Meta or Twitter offered me a job I’d probably just use a curt “no” and move on. But, Project Veritas, Heritage Foundation, Palantir? They’d get a “fuck off” for sure.

                            You can’t leave work during your shift, you’re in prison.

                            Prostitution.
                            My apologies if this subject is taboo. However, it is the oldest profession in the world and stood the test of time. I have a vivid imagination and I’m having trouble imagining what would happen if I’m just not attracted or aroused.
