Back when I was 17, I worked through this summer job program that partnered with local businesses. They put me at a small summer camp.

The owner tried to guilt trip me into working more hours than I was legally allowed to as a minor. Saying that if I cared about the kids then it wouldn't matter and all this other stuff. I reported her to the program

I worked at a movie theater when I was 16 and was fired because I got a bunch of timeclock violations and the government was breathing down their necks. The kicker was I didn't make my own schedule nor did I schedule my own breaks. Somehow I was to blame for working too much and not taking breaks.

Thankfully the general manager of the theater moved to another theater a little bit before to manage their opening and offered me a supervisor job there after finding out what happened, knowing they were full of shit.

When I first started my boss played a few mind games with me to get me to work harder. So I did to get him off my back. Got a fat ass bonus this year and a decent raise but now Im burnt out as fuck. Havent been very productive lately because of it.

Precisely why a 32 hour work week is a great idea.

It is when you look at rates. 1 in 4 million is a pretty low fucking number. That's nearing lottery range.

I always love the "we all need to make sacrifices for the good of the company" line

Infuriating. Then give me 1/? Of the company profits and I'll perform like I have an actual stake.

Lol, I sometimes feel that's their only job.

266 incidents, compared to 217 in the same period of time in 2023.

Jfc

Do we realize how small this is? There's like what, 8 million people in NYC, and millions use the subway daily and you're talking .75 incidents a day?

Yeah, I missed the original run, but luckily the theater in the luxury mall screened it 2 weeks ago. Funny thing is, for how fancy the mall is, the theater is total crap. They didnt have movie theater popcorn, only bags of skinny pop, and 20oz. bottles of Coke(no freestyle machine)And the screen was tiny.

Ngl that's more fancy than syrup dispensaries

Making things more accessible is what stopped me pirating in 2017. Movie pass, along with streaming services and VOD led me to stop pirating altogether.

There were like 3 reasons I pirated stuff, no commercials, instant viewing(no reason to get up, grab a DVD set and insert a disc and then choose the episode), and the availability of everything, so I didn't need to wait for a DVD box set to rewatch a show or movie.

It was basically the accessibility of everything. Now that nearly everything is near readily available, I feel no need. I probably pay like 40 a month to avoid pirating and honestly, I'm fine with that.

Big leap from a little fella.

Awesome movie about empowerment and living a life.

Loved it way more than I expected. Was probably my favorite of the Oscar films.

Especially since zoomers are unlikely to even see a comfortable (theoretical) retirement age. Heck I'm 35 now and I'm unlikely to see it.

Yea, people like Nikki Haley, who can retire now, telling people like me, they need to work 20 more years than her.

Not much to look forward to after boomers and gen x fucked them over.

I'm seriously tired of these blatant troll topics from people who've never worked a day in their life.

Ben shapiro talking about how people should work until they die, railing on places like Aldi where cashiers sit in chairs, as if he's ever done anything with his hands other than JO, trying to tell others they need to work harder, pretending his 1 hour a day podcast spreading antisemitism and hate is hard work.

Do yall think hosting millions of hours of video is cheap?

Millions of hours of free content?

Close the tab and move on.

Pringles are so expensive now.

Was it ever dangerous? I mean millions use it daily.

People truly need to stop falling for republican outrage and propaganda.

China stealing our information is no different than Facebook selling our shit to Cambridge analytics.

Ban all companies from selling our data, isolating a single company is asinine. China, Saudis, Russians, and Elons all own shit and are against American interests, yet only tik tok is being singled out. Ask yourself why that is.

Dems sacrificing whatever good will they've earned with the youth will easily be wiped out because they're fucking idiots and support this republican censorship bullshit.

People agreeing with Republicans really need to step back and realize what's happening here.

Sure. There's not much I wouldn't do for an obscene amount of money

I thought it was a few days ago.

idk, I remember seeing RIP Hammer I think yesterday trending and obviously thought MC died, then caught this story which was more tragic. But maybe I was mad late to reading about it. Maybe Wednesday or something?

I think you're thinking of the Walmart incident.

There was that target one where the cops shot at someone and killed the teenage girl in the changing room. But no, I swear there was a teacher in one of these shit hole states that allow this shit, where the teacher's gun misfired and ended up flying through the room into another room. Don't think anyone was injured, but like wtf.

https://giffords.org/report/every-incident-of-mishandled-guns-in-schools/

Seems like I was conflating some stories. There's one where a first grade teacher's gun went off, another where it went off and ricocheted into a kids neck, then another where it went off in a bathroom into another room.

In short, stop allowing guns in schools. Also all the teachers, resource officers, and parents accidentally shooting themselves is just ridiculous. jfc people.

Mark Coleman's dog Hammer definitely should make this list. It was his barking that alerted Coleman to the danger. Unfortunately, Hammer perished in the fire.

RIP to a hero, to a good boy.

That may make it next week. This just happened yesterday, right?

Okay, Luna is somewhat decent. The rest, na. They all look like soccer moms and that's just not it for me.

How many days until "accidentally" shooting a kid for mouthing off?

Didn't a teacher accidentally fire through their classroom in the last 4-5 years? Think it went through the wall into the next class over or some shit.

This and certifying the election are probably the only 2 decent things he's ever done in his life.

It was funny hearing this audio played after audio of Tim Scott praising Trump for taking over the RNC. Even Uncle Tom would be ashamed of Scott.

The craziest thing to me is that Scott was a Democrat who wanted their nomination for Congress or something, they told him no, he switched to being a Republican, they quickly nominated him, and then here he is.

People like that have absolutely zero credibility. This is Candace Owens chasing the money shit, then inhaling their own asshole so much, they start to truly believe the bullshit they say.

idk, I put wage theft much higher, since it accounts for far more. But I also don't slurp CEO's.

It's more than hate in some of these places, hate is what I'd say you get in Alabama or something. It's almost completely dismissive of their right to exist

Supporting genocide will always make you a trash human being.

When you break it down, what exactly do these 'gig' jobs actually provide? Uber Eats basically calls in a food order and someone picks it up and takes it to you. It's delivery, but for everyone. Nothing major. Uber is basically a taxi service on demand. Again, nothing major. Shipt is basically the same thing as Uber Eats, but it's a grocery list instead, of all the jobs, that person is easily doing the most work.

With all 3 of these jobs, the person is getting a fraction of what the app is, when the app doesn't actually do anything. You'd be better off creating an app where all these people can essentially provide their utility and allow them to bid on requested jobs.

Task rabbit did something like that forever ago.

Like you literally go to prison if you are a gay man in Palestine. I dunno, I can't help but notice something odd about it.

Yea, that's fucked, but I don't think that warrants ignoring dead infants in hospitals.

Someone may hate you, but being indifferent to them or others being mass executed is pretty fucked.

You are the problem with this world.

I know this is gonna come across the wrong way but it annoys me when people downplay how anti LGBT the middle east is. Like there's no country there at all where an LGBT person wouldn't have at the very least, highly restricted rights.

One way alliances look odd in this day and age

So because they're anti LGBT you should support them being mass executed?

People truly have zero empathy anymore. "If you don't like me, I hope you die" is pretty fucked.

People like you are part of the problem.

They only disabled the ability to upload levels. You can still play the levels, but the servers are shutting down entirely April 8th.

Truly sucks. People spent years of their lives making these levels and that'll soon vanish

I'll wait to judge until they finally do leave.

Even if they do leave, a company will just rise up to fill the gap. That's how capitalism works. Lyft and Uber don't control the market, the people do. So if they want to leave, someone will just create a business that adheres to it and makes billions of dollars while Uber and lyft fuck off to wherever, and this could start a thing nation wide where California does this, or Arizona, or Florida or New York, or Illinois.

Adapt or perish.

She'll write books about her time in Congress and about the swamp and then peddle those books on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, NewsNation, OANN, Newsmax, and Real Time, then probably become a premier guest on various shows like maybe subbing in for Jesse Waters or some shit now and then, basically do the Tulsi tours.

Politics is the greatest grift.
