Had a friend who worked “security” at big blue box electronics store. Was a big dude, intimidating. They gave the mandate though. Watch for thieves, but you can’t personally do anything. Liability, insurance.

So one day they had a repeat their. Small time, just Des and things, but my buddy stops him, tells him to get out. Guy pretty much wets himself and leaves. My former was promptly fired. He could have been hurt, went outside of his job.

Moral of the story, never stick your neck out for the company.

That’s why I don’t necessarily blame one person here. George Carlin said it best. Selfish ignorant people vite for selfish ignorant leaders. If it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. The problem isn’t one person, it’s that such a massive amount of voters are selfish and willfully ignorant.

Yeah well what’s the profits this quattwr? I don’t have time to think about next quarter!

Yeah I think this is a tool worth having for mods. Maybe going through deleted posys and seeing who are repeat offenders.

To me, that isn’t building a community, that’s extracting from one. It’s no better than AI scraping. You got your answer and then keep it for yourself.

Sounds wonderful!

Good on you, when I hear how much people are spending on weddings man. Over 50k is “normal” to them? We put our money to a down payment. Much better use for it.

It was always meant to be great in dense areas, which it is, but marketers went all apeshit promising that it was going to be the second coming of Christ. Instead they should have shut the marketers ina corner and called it what it is, an enhancement to 4g. That 4g and 5g would hand off interchangeably.

This is why you should never let business dictate tech. They think they know what they’re talking about but they don’t, and end up pissing everyone off.

I think my spouse and I spent… $80 total on our rings. Seemed like a waste of money to both of us.

Huh, til. In programming it’s simply a way of ensuring something happens exactly one time

I don’t get it

We’re only holding ourselves back, at some point the subsidies for oil aren’t going to be enough. We’ll be watching the rest of the world continue on into the future that we thought we were heading towards

Content is content, and Lemmy is quiet enough that we accept most of it! Thanks for contributing!

Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers.

I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche.

Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like The Brutalist or The Whale, and then I can also enjoy something silly like Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Seriously, you should go watch that, Rachel McAdams is amazing in it). It really simply depends on my mood and my emotions in the moment and what I want to watch.

I’ve also learned that the rating system is broken, because it pits movies that are polar opposites like that in direct competition, and there is no way to compare them. Apples and Oranges. But that’s a separate topic.

You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t have let them play with the outlets, and now they’re in the ER in critical condition. That’s on me, I apologize.

Right, what about the other 5 people that day who also claimed they were important though? Do you bug your boss every time? Working service it was near daily where someone would claim to know the owner or don’t you know who I am or something

In that case as an employee you also risk annoying your boss who is now pulled into this altercation that you could have handled. Then the fact that they were fired over this shows they weren’t a good boss anyway, so I can understand the hesitancy to bring them in.

They fired you over that? You followed their rules! They should have a vip card or something if they wanted to allow some people in. I’m sorry man, they fucked you there.

Being skeptical is fine, being accusatory with no proof is a jerk move.

Hi Lisa! I’m Gehngis Khan. You’ll go where I go! Defile what I defile! Eat who I eat!

I’ve worked enough customer service.

I feel this so hard. Nothing like working with the general public to realize how fucking dumb so many are. Critical thinking skills are scarce on this planet.

I did both fast food and big box retail, and holy shit people are dumb. For anyone here who wants to say that’s mean or I don’t understand, I counter with you’ve never had a cheeseburger thrown at you because apparently they wanted a cheeseburger with no cheese and how dare you not know that.
