@superball one of my friends had a leg amputated. Same bullshit to “prove” it hadn't grown back. @WeirdWriter
@AnnaBaguenaude @superball All because people hate poor people! I was talking to a minority republican acquaintance of mine. He likes me 1 trillion times more than I like him, but he was trying to say, that the Republican party gets a bad reputation for hating people of color, poor people, and otherwise. I pointed out all the policies that his party enacted as a punishment for being poor and or disabled and or unable to work. He said and reply, but that’s the thing. Everybody that can work should work. The government should not take care of you because you want to sit at home and be on social media all day. He said my tax dollars should never go to anybody that isn’t trying to better their lives and that whole conversation literally did absolutely nothing to convince me that they do not hate anybody they do not know.

Be the malicious compliance you want to see in the world.

@WeirdWriter at the very least, people who they do not know are not people in their eyes, they can't know themselves better, they are like pets, you can like them, but you won't treat them as equals. @superball

@irina It really upsets me because there’s tons of ways you can make email secure and able to handle sensitive documents
H*ll, faxes are just emails that auto-print at the end. Since they're more often sent to/from public machines they're less secure than email.
The email to fax softwares just auto-print to a pdf. -
@LJ Squeeee!
@WeirdWriter i have a friend - it's actually her birthday today - who is in a similar place with the hoops she has to jump through to keep the meager benefits she gets. It's disgusting how our government treats vulnerable people. Reading about your malicious (or should I say delicious!) compliance made my day.

I hope it makes her smile at least! I *hate* how our society treats poor people. Classist nonsense all the way down from people that are strangely concerned about someone feeding themselves with food stamps. I don't get the obsession. Super strange! @LJ

I shouldn't even have to do this review as often as I do! And her tone. Her tone is what really got to me, like, no sympathy at all so I was like, fine, let's play! I can't stand this if you deserve it system we have now. @ragman

@stephaniepixie Her Tone is what really got to me. No sympathy whatsoever! I shouldn’t even have to do this ridiculous review every few years AnyWho. Thank you! Don’t fuck with me before my morning tea! Smile!
@WeirdWriter I’ve had to deal with Canadian provincial support workers and I’ve never felt more condescended to in my life (and I worked in cafes and retail for decades) so I can imagine the feelings you must’ve felt. I was pure fury but didn’t have a creative response like you did.

@quidcumque Thank you! More to come, because I have a hell of a lot of these kinds of stories because my GOV hates poor people and disabled people

@WeirdWriter I hope Karen gets really really scared now everytime someone in the office asks for "complete documentation".

Well, they demanded it. It is only right they got it. One page at a time.
On another note, it appears the line linking to the tips page is missing a closing square bracket, so the link doesn't get rendered properly @WeirdWriter

@WeirdWriter bless, this is life giving. The next time I get hit with a review I'm taking a page from your book.

@WeirdWriter Five hundred plus pages. Diabolical. I hope they learn their lesson and keep your documents as a memento mori. On the other hand, imagining you threatening to do it again is making me laugh maniacally.
