Especially that one. Seriously.

Ultimately I was just done and had already been looking for another job, so I just went ahead and dropped the shit on the floor and spent the rest of the day chilling at the park. I even had witnesses to the insane bullshit.

Turnover is already high due to shitty work conditions and low pay, but most franchises will also look for reasons to fire so they can keep wages low.

A few minutes later than the customer wants but still within reasonable time? Oooh sorry they called to complain so we have to give you a strike.

Customer doesn’t want to pay? Tough shit, you shouldn’t have given them the pizza without getting paid and that’s two strikes.

You were 30 seconds late according to the managers watch which is 3 minutes fast as proven by everyone’s cellphones and the wall clock? Too bad, fired.

And I’m not exaggerating. I’m just giving a real-world example.

Ujhhhhh… Huh.

I dislike smoking and have physically fought someone for intentionally and repeatedly blowing smoke in my face, but I don’t think I’d have quite this reaction to someone asking me to buy them a pack.

I’d just say “nah I’m not helping you kill yourself” and leave it at that. If that causes a problem with our friendship, then they value their cigarettes and a moment of pleasure over our friendship and they aren’t worth the time.

I’m with you in the “I helped bail someone out” though, not sure how I’d feel if someone asked me to help with that.

Very much.

Taken to extremes, “it doesn’t matter if you are right that we shouldn’t stomp puppies, but you need to stop focusing on whether you’re right and focus on being helpful to us”

I’m intentionally blowing it up to hilight how ridiculous it can be.

A better title would be “Japan to test technology to destroy potential asteroids…” but that takes more space and is less attention-grabbing

Your clear sense of smug superiority is also pretty telling why you feel there’s no problem here. Real “they aren’t hurting the right people” energy. And you can’t defend your argument with anything beyond “it’s the way it is”, so resort to ad hominem. Have a nice day Bruh

Having a bad day where staff are giving you the customer service bs they don’t even believe, because they can’t be bothered to actually help you, is absolutely understandable why someone might say a thing or two out of anger. It doesn’t justify it, but it doesn’t deserve months in jail and a huge fine.

Nowhere did I see that this person was “being abusive”. The article very much made it sound like it was a quick statement, like using foul language. And sorry but saying “I don’t give a fuck” or something similar is NOT “being abusive”.

Just because it’s normal, doesn’t make it any less fucking stupid. Your argument is literally just more “it’s just the way it is”, which is again, fucking stupid. “appeal to tradition”

Wow, two months wages is totally reasonable for having a bad day, and getting mad at the people responsible all because you said a “no no”

Remind me to never visit whatever shithole you consider “good and reasonable” if that’s your take. Two months salary and months of prison time is insane no matter what country you are from.

There was a time that slavery was the custom in the US.

I’m not saying people should go around insulting everyone all day, I’m saying that using “cultural norms” as defense for any sort of punishment is dumb.

What is it with truckers and sucking fascist cock?

I know enough of them to know it’s not all of them, probably not even a majority, but is it just me or does it seem a little disproportionate?

Seems like everyone who is “for” letting threads stay can be summed up by “why would I want to intentionally separate this from a corporate entity when they’ll just get my data anyway” Like that’s a fucking valid argument.

Oppose corpos at all fronts, it doesn’t matter if they’ll get you anyway. If that’s your take, then if your country ever gets invaded, I expect you to bend over and invite the enemy inside.

And also make sure nature leaves it the fuck alone. That one is also pretty tricky.

The cheap 3d printed drone I made can carry two soda cans, all I have to do to increase that is increase the overall size, or just the motors and add structural rigidity with pretty much any lightweight straight material. At that size even a steel rod would greatly increase rigidity while adding insignificant (for the purposes of I/ED carrying drones) weight.

Heck, my last rc place would easily fly with nearly 7lbs, and I could maybe push that to 10 if I swapped for a higher power motor. By my napkin math, that’s 8 blocks of M112 packaged C4, and I’m not sure how much damage 10lbs of C4 could do, but I know a single M112 can take out small bridges and level an average American sized house.

I guess my point is, you don’t need super strong materials, because small amounts of explosive will do. But it doesn’t matter because you can still make strong drones cheap.

“yes, they kill, torture, brutalize, pillage, and kick puppies, but if we don’t allow them an equal voice, can we truly say we are any better?”

Yes. Yes we can.

Uhhhh

How does SantaBlack boot polish taste?

SMH my head, just another Santapologist trying to twist the narrative.

This. This is when things start burning.

I love that “pointing out undisputed historical facts that are provable and verified through many sources” often gets met with “quit with the crazy conspiracy theories and anti-______-ism”, regardless of which group you are apparently making conspiracy theories about.

Always get them to bury themselves before dropping your intentions.

My wife is currently dealing with her employer and their complete lack of handicap spots, despite over 200 regular car spaces scattered all around a warehouse lot. She doesn’t quite get how to “play the game” like this but she’s learning.

One party recording state so I’d like her to go in to talk about it while recording, but her anxiety is completely stonewalling her from bringing it up.

Hit record on the phone, slip it in a pocket that has good clearance for the whole conversation, and get them to say the things they’ve said when they think nobody else can hear them.

Apparently the front office woman screamed at her to move her car (she parked there because the offices are isolated from traffic and have access to her work area)and “it’s not our goddamn problem we don’t have handicap spots, it’s yours so deal with it”

I’m about to just skip around waiting for her to do things and file a complaint with the EEOC or at least the ADA government site complaint form. I’m sure that would take months, if not years before anything ever happened, but I can’t hold her hand and be there when she confronts the owners about their 6-8 missing handicap spots.
