The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane
and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it's so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it's a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.
preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still
Does this community work like r/unpopularopinion where you're supposed to upvote if you disagree and downvote otherwise? I agree, but I'm not sure which action to take.
I upvote if the opinion is genuinely unpopular, regardless of whether or not I agree, and taking into account that agreement in this subreddit does not mean agreement in life.
There are a lot of things that are popular on lemmy, or even just online, that are deeply unpopular opinions, and I think those should get upvotes here.
I upvote if I think it's a valuable, earnest, or funny/clever statement. I only downvote if it is completely irrelevant or rudely disruptive for discussion.
I think it's good to think twice before downvoting. If it's a point of view that you despise or behavior that you can't stand, it might be better for the public to see how that is handled in a forum (through words). Why try to push it away from sight when you could instead demonstrate to other viewers how to help a dummy out?
However you choose to vote and how often, don't stress about it too much
I was asking because posts (not comments, just posts) in r/unpopularopinion had special, non-standard rules. The idea was to upvote posts you didn't like so that the most unpopular opinions were the ones that got the most visibility/discussion.
