Maybe not disturbing enough, but the short story that really stuck with me was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_to_the_Slaughter

If I described the texture, you'd never eat calimari again.

(or something like that)

Did you know there's an allowable amount of insect parts and rat feces that can be in your food without any particular labeling required?

There is no known process for removing bones from chicken that is perfect.

That said, something that is large enough to be described as a "long, thin bone" by a reasonable observer should NOT be allowed in something labeled "boneless", and the restaurant and any other entity involved in the deboning should have shared liability. If the process is accurate enough, the liability risk is low.

My biggest issue used to be that in the global industrial base collapses, we won't have surface coal/oil available to restart it. I've been informed that we might be able to restart just from turpentine. (Wind and solar both need advanced manufacturing techniques so can't be bootstrap electrical sources.)

That said, I don't think I'm very interested in hanging around after the global Internet collapses. My interests are too niche to be satisfied within a regional power grid.

I've not found them useful for that, even. I often just get "lied to" about any technical or tricky issues.

They are just text generators. Even the dumbest stack overflow answers show more coherence. (Tho, they are certainly wrong in other ways.)

Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy.

It is important that even if you stay on in order to sabotage, that you still do not commit any morally bad acts. NONE of your paperwork should ever pass muster.

You could keep hidden accurate records that you share with the revolution once the persons are out of danger.

There's a government guide on this: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

Be slow, make mistakes, ask questions incessantly. You can actually do more damage to an organization by being a bad worker than by quitting and being replaced by someone that's at all competent.

EDIT: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

But, you do have to be careful. If completing the paperwork is a morally bad act, it remains so even if it takes you 3 days instead of 30 minutes, and even if no one else ever knows, you will always have to live with yourself. There's a line from Schindler's list about wanting to guarantee that none of the shells the factory would ever fire; he wanted them ALL to be duds.

Confidence is often mistaken for competence. I'd like to believe that's why "con(fidence) men" are ever successful.

I was initially confused as well, but I do think the meme format matches.

Edited, thanks for the correction. I'd like to blame it on a typo, but I frequently "mispronounce" that word in the my head, so it was probably just a mistake.
