Oh, it definitely happens here and everywhere else on the Internet. It seems to be just part of the human condition.
But since this post is bagging on reddit, and I'm still mad at the company's recent decisions, I figured I'd not rock the boat and just bag on reddit too lol
In my early years of reddit, it always seemed like a place where people really knew what they were talking about. It was exciting!
That is... until I started posting about things that Ireally knew about and I quickly realized that most redditors had no clue and were talking out their asses, however convincing it actually sounded.
Someone I worked with did something similar. This was close to 25 years ago, at a popular drive thru corporate coffee chain. I took no part in these shenanigans myself, but I got a cut each night we worked together just for looking away as it happened.
Basically, her whole hustle revolved around the fact that the cash register at the drive thru window had been broken and not working for ages. She had memorized the prices for every single item sold there. So when someone ordered at the drive thru, she would tally up their whole order in her head, but then go around to the main counter's register and ring the entire order up as just a small coffee. She'd then take their money, give them the change that was due, but put the difference into the tip cup.
This went on for about a month until I just couldn't stand the overall work environment. It's still to this day the only service industry "job" I've ever had. I hated it so much that even all that extra free money couldn't keep me there.
Hating that one month so much is also the reason I tip service workers as best I can, still to this day.
This is a great comment, and I believe the best addition to the thread.
I think you may really like this 4 part music/art video series.
Filastine - Abandon
From the description: Abandon bridges video art, documentary, and music to explore how we sell our time on earth, and how we could imagine to get free. Each of the four episodes profiles a unique personal revolt against low-valued work: an Indonesian miner, a Portuguese maid, American office workers, and Spain’s scrap metal salvagers.
I added 2 peertube channels to my subscriptions not long after I joined lemmy. So far, they have failed to populate into my feed... I can see the channels in my subscriptions, but when I go to them via lemmy there's only a couple videos showing and they're from the timeframe that I added them. However, going to the channel directly, outside of lemmy, I can see that they've posted many videos recently.
The date listed on the indictments is May 25, 2020, the day George Floyd was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis. Although this predates any Stop Cop City protesting, it’s possible that the attorney general’s office plans to link the Stop Cop City movement with the larger protests that followed Floyd’s death.
This is a pretty scary precedent to set and will likely have a chilling effect on all social movements going forward...
A lot really. This is pretty much what Sedition Hunters did for Jan 6 suspects, but it's also what your local antifascist groups do behind the scenes for your local communities to keep them safer.
I'm a sucker for a good buildup and drop in EDM. As much as I complain about tracks whose sole purpose is the drop, if I'm feeling the song and there's a good drop, you'll likely see this 40yr old's bass face.
In hip hop production, at the start of a new bar, silencing the drums and bass for the first quarter note - a technique J Dilla popularized. If your nodding your head along to beat, and the 1 is silenced like that it, it really just hits harder.
In jam/improv based music, the tension and release theory. Where the lead instrument solos in a certain key without ever hitting the root note of that key. It builds up a sense of tension since we expect to hear that note but aren't. The solo continues and the tension increases. Eventually the lead instrument hits that note, and if the band is good, the rest of the their parts increase in intensity simultaneously. The result is a sense of release from the tension and even euphoria.
Good thing we're not on one of those!
