The real pressing question is who is in the sausage though.
The other pig that went to the market.
That fucker Neil.
this has severe conservative energy. the fuck is this even supposed to mean? if you’re paid for it, it’s a job, dumbass. that’s literally the only metric.
I think it’s alluding to the theory set out in this book:
well at least this is a more specific take and, apart from duct tapers, seems roughly sensible in what it’s trying to say, if i understood correctly from my cursory glance, that jobs should be more fulfilling than making the elite feel better.
but the tweet is doing a very bad job if this is really what they’re alluding to. the tweet’s framing is more similar to reactionary rhetoric against sex work, entertainment and art, clean jobs, and basically anything that’s not coal mining.
reactionary rhetoric against sex work
Oh, I can definitely see an animal doing sex work in a… Not-children’s book. I think that’s the whole idea behind furries.
It’s the “children’s book” bit that’s the important bit though. Basically he’s advocating for a child’s view of the world, where a job requires hitting things with a hammer.
The irony of course been that the artist who drew that book, presumably wouldn’t be considered to have a worthwhile job by this philosophy.
I think it’s trying to say that intellectual jobs are not jobs. Which is demonstrably not true.
If all the investment bankers went away we’d probably be fine but if all the cyber security experts went away there’d be a big problem. The job is labour intensive, but one of them is much less important than the other.
i can see it: The piggy that sat all day on the PC
Plenty of us look a lot like that, though
Your lack of imagination has no bearing on the validity of my, or anyone else’s job.
I reckon a lot of people would consider my job to not be a real job, but I can imagine a pig sitting in front of a computer just fine.
Quick scan if the comments and not seeing anything about how this pig likely just chopped up either friends or family to turn into bologna for a worm driving an apple.
All beef bologna. Cows are an underclass in the Richard Scary universe.
They know what they did.
As an artist I cannot think of a single thing this disqualifies. Including sex work.
I get where you’re coming from, and I would love to see a Richard Scary take on “AI Prompt Engineer” or “Influencer”.
What page was the pig doing the sexual engineering on? Asking for a friend
Pig Hannibal Lecter
I can imagine a pig in a children’s book sitting in front of a computer with several empty coffee cups surrounding it. That covers about 40% of the job market these days.
Here you go
That pig is way to cheerful at doing it’s mind numbing corporate job. But then again it’s less bad than the sociopath butcher pig.
The pig is cheerful because it’s shitposting on Lemmy instead of working.
I brought this up the last time this image was posted but it makes the most sense with him being a pig.
Pigs will eat anything. Even other pigs. They don’t care.
Was gonna say- Peppa Pig anyone?
Fuck outta here with this shit.
Oh no I don’t think a piggy can hold a pipetter
Hard disagree. I can easily imagine anyone in this scenario including some Instagram influencer peddling crypto schemes as this pig.
So… Who’s for dinner?
Murder isn’t a job
Would you rather categorize it as a hobby?
Well I can’t imagine a pig drawing this so that’s a pretty idiotic metric
