I've only ever gotten a sticker twice...plus you can buy rolls of them online.

Hah!

Good one!

Having worked retail in my younger days it's maybe the worst role I've ever had (tied with the sales aspect of a job I had later on in my career).

Shit pay, shit hours, ever changing schedules, horrible management, toxic work environment, frequent abuses of employees (shit like working long hours with no breaks, surprise shift extensions because someone else called off, etc.), ridiculously petty rules and policies, etc.

The idea of any sort of pay for anything other than working the equivalent hours (or more...retail is notorious for trying to get free labor off the clock) is a fairy tale.

Midterms: "Are we a joke to you?!"

Exactly.

The solution here should be the federal government going, "Ooh! Good catch on that! Here's a law mandating that private employers give paid holidays for all federal holidays! Thanks for looking out for employees!"

How are you going to have evidence of voting?

Would the victim be officially dead?

Who do these pants -wetting idiots think they're scaring?

The boomers who grew up during the Cold War and who continue to have better voter turnout rates than Millennials, even as the latter generation sneaks up on their 40s.

Like...I don't agree with their policies, but their tactics are objectively effective.

This isn't an endorsement of conservative fear mongering but rather calling out my fellow Millennials, who've recently surpassed boomers as the most populous generation in the US.

Show up and vote, god dammit.

The game isn't canon.

Which...okay whatever, weird comment...but that's what they meant.

You're placing a lot of faith in our totally trustworthy, honest, caring, and cooperative domestic auto manufacturers to...you know...not just look at the new increased price of imports, as well as the government credit for buying domestic...and raise all their prices to that amount across the board, with the increase adding more expense to the consumer directly that is pure profit on their end.

Which is why there should be legal mechanisms to place legal responsibility for decisions like this personally on those in leadership positions when they're being made, even if those people no longer hold those positions.

You bet your ass the chucklefucks who came up with this little stunt would've thought twice about it if they knew that there was a decent chance they'd go to prison for it.

Also gotta make this shit sting the shareholders too: make the company pay the victims not only the estimated value of their data but also a portion of all profits made while a policy like this is in effect. Since there's no easy way to tell how much money was made off their data, unless the company has the numbers, let's say half.

Suddenly the quarterly report's got a nice repayment shaped dent in its side and all the sudden the shareholders care about following the law and respecting the rights of customers.

The bounty is posted by Iran... wouldn't it be better for everyone if we dropped him off at Tehran?

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean literally anything, no offense to you.

I get where you're coming from, but that's some really shitty delivery.

Bigger picture, if one isn't to form their own opinions based on world view, what are they to form opinions based on?

Ultimately, all your comment says is, "I don't care about your opinions and don't value them at all. Instead of anything you think or have to say, here's what I think and what I have to say."

Chocolate with raisins is super common though...

A properly run nuclear plant will also expose people living within a 50 mile radius of the plant to less radiation than if it were a coal fired plant.

The whole thing is pretty regulated.

I feel like that's probably a good thing.

Not that we need to open this can of worms here, but it's a pet peeve of mine that "vanilla" has become a term used to mean plain, boring, sheltered, standard, mediocre, underwhelming, basic, and uninteresting.

Vanilla is an amazing flavor that comes from orchids that must be hand pollinated to cultivate at scale, and has a long and interesting history. It's the second most valuable spice after saffron.

Just feels wrong to use that as a synonym for bland and blah.

LotRers.

Fans of Lord of the Rings.

Maybe not the best parallel but a good point nonetheless.

A more apt comparison might be:

"What's the best all-beef hot dog I can buy at my local supermarket?"

"Ugh! OMG! Don't do that to yourself! Why would you even want to bother with eating beef if that's the shit you're going to put in your body?! Just get some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye and thank me later!"

Most jobs like that, or really any pay scheme other than piece work or an hourly wage usually has the process of:

1. You can take as much PTO as you like.
2. You can take as much PTO as you like...provided you get all your work done.
3. You work like a dog, get all your work done, and take time off.
4. Since you were able to get everything done and have time left over to not work, your boss increases your workload, so now you have to work like a dog, all the time, or else you'll never get everything done.

It's like playing chess, and while the other player can't change the rules as they go, but a condition for playing with them is that they get two moves every turn.

Right?

Unless it's a cause you'd donate to, and by extension donate your music to, get it back!
