That person would probably vote Richard Spencer. I don't give rabid anti-communists the benefit of the doubt anymore.

there really is an emoji for everything

If you outshine and outperform the owner by the laws of meritocracy you should get ownership of the business

Yesterday I was sincerely thinking they should just remove the comment feature entirely, it's all the same comments under a video anyway like "Wow, nice result" or "I didn't know you could do that!"

Where are the jokes and additional info from knowledgeable commentors like we had in 2010? It all seems generated by the same LLM these days. Search engines are terrible since November last year, comments have become drivel, now they want to limit how much content you can consume (edit: referring to twitter limits)... I don't like this version of the internet

There are 😱 😱 PEOPLE??? 🧓 👴 in.... cities??? 🏙 😵

Beehaw are snakes and nothing they say should be trusted, I remember them trying to get people to leave lemmy.ml for their instance with the sole argument being they don't federate with lemmygrad back in the day when there were like 5 instances. Their main recruitment tactic was to talk about lemmygrad lol. One argument they used to defederate from lemmygrad back then was that we were apparently so big, we filled up their disk space when they opened federation. And then they found out it was actually a bug and log files didn't get deleted. Took them a few days to actually go into the FTP and look at it lol (and back then lemmy.ml was as big as us anyway). We received neither an apology or an offer to refederate.

Now they make a ton of donation money and can get additional admins and even community mods. On lemmygrad we have no problem being federated with lib instances like world or ee and we don't make a single cent in donation to host the website or work on it.

They're just typical anti-communists.

I have so many stories from there. At the end of the year they would sell the soon to be expired stock to the employees for like half the price. On paper it was half (you're just giving money back to your employer so fuck them I stole as much food as I could), but the person who actually took the money was super nice and often gave us further discounts. For them the difference was like a decimal in accounting.

They announced these sales by email with the time and date. And in 2020, the year of covid, when half the workforce was working from home, they made the sale as usual. I learned afterwards that on that morning, the siblings who owned the company went and parked their cars right in front of the warehouse where the sale took place, and filled the trunk with as much stuff as they could. Then 2 hours later the sale happened and there was almost nothing left.

Technically legal but a fucking shitty thing to do lol, your job is to have a blurry monitor and pretend to do Excel sheets and you drive a Porsche, I think you have the means to load up your car at the store like a grown adult if you need to.

I used to work for a food type company and the way they decided to import and sell stuff locally was if the board of directors (the CEO who inherited the company from daddy + his siblings) liked the item. They hired someone, my coworker, to actually run the market tests and everything and then promptly ignored any suggestion she had to make about the viability of this product on the local market, instead relegating her to a busser that was in charge of ordering the samples they decided they wanted.

I remember one item nobody liked (they would give us the remaining samples in the break room like some dogs getting the leftovers), but one of the siblings liked it and they got that close to putting it on the market because of it.

Are people investing in new automation currently because I've been using the same crappy tools for over 10 years now and they keep getting crappier.

Oh yeah we automate creative work now, the one thing that could still be a cheap hobby.

If Putin doesn't like that, he can pound sand and leave.

Or he can keep grinding Ukrainians that are poisoning their own soil with mines, cluster ammo and depleted uranium because I assure you Ukraine isn't winning this and even their NATO backers are announcing it now that the "spring counter-offensive" has failed.

do you sincerely think Ukraine will be like "it's all good you were a good sport we're gonna end the match here, everyone go home" if Russia suddenly decided to up and leave.

So no peace talks during war time.
