CA Prop 22. Thoughts? (fyi for out-of-staters, it was brought by Uber, Lyft & others to keep gig workers as independent contractors vs as employees). Apparently, we all are now on W4C mostly because of CA AB 5 which said if you work too much, you're an employee (there were also reasons of editorial independence). If I'm not mistaken, VOX Media (owner of SB Nation among other properties) complied, and said you can write <x> number of articles per <time period>, or you're fired, because we're not hiring you as an employee. I'm wondering what the writers who moved from CGB to W4C have to say about Prop 22. On the surface, it would seemingly be bad as it was brought by the giant corporations who what to keep the workers down. But it lifts the "poof! you're an employee" provisions of AB 5, so folks are free to drive Uber, etc (and presumably write articles) as much or as little as they want. There are more subtleties in the proposition, but that's how it looks to me.
Among Us. Anyone play this game? No 3 plays with his friends and tried to get me to play. He said that they play with some little kids that are idiots so I said nope. But I did watch him play. Kinda seems like it might be fun but not when you can play against any idiot out there.
And I now understand some of the memes on reddit and understand "sus".
