Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have _napkins_ out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

Do others find it shocking that people on youtube are 'creators' now? Wasn't it just for old simpsons clips and the like?
it's genuinely startling. they all have stupid names too. who the fuck is mr beast what the fuck happened

How do you handle being upset about something online?
like either a dumbass posting stupid shit, unfair bans, idiotic arguments, etc etc. i feel so incredibly stupid letting it affect me at all, but then also there's real feelings mixed in there because it's a real argument i give a shit about to some degree. so it's this odd double crossing where i know it's stupid but i process it as being real. bonus points for not answering 'go outside drink water read a book' etc etc

you don’t need to be a cReAtOr to post anywhere, you just need the desire in your heart to post


this is definitely a symptom of the differences but acting like it’s somehow a weakness of lemmy that it’s not brand friendly is insane. that’s a strength! also,

I’m sorry to burst your bubble guys

is the most annoying way to phrase anything


EXACTLY

there’s just not enough in depth stuff on here. i love shitposts, i love memes, i love a chill tone. but we need people posting interesting posts, you know. i’m not even sure how to put my finger on what’s different or why, but there’s just less…stuff here. it needs to be seasoned, or something.


Telework is an excuse for minimal working.

telework gives human beings their agency back. nobody, NOBODY needs to spend 8 hours straight doing emails




i worked at all the pizza chains delivering ---- the absolute shittiest ones were a nightmare, for the same 3 reasons:

  1. not letting employees make food themselves. it’s a restaurant, you have abundant food, it’s cheap, we all know it’s cheap, we work long shifts, come on. the cobbler’s son should have good shoes.

  2. overemphasis on dress code – if you genuinely give a shit if the pizza guy has his hat backwards, you should literally be sent to the gulags.

  3. being overworked for low pay, especially being made to drive when exhausted [literally dangerous and life threatening!!]


i think it’s the mental stress of knowing this time could be spent on something meaningful but instead because of horseshit protestant work ethic - brained boomers it must be wasted

kind of like those sick sick stores that destroy merchandise before throwing it away because god fucking forbid someone else could use it. spitting in the face of humanity.


at least we’re just having outside agitators disrupt our site rather than the admins slitting its wrists and letting it bleed out [whilst sucking the blood]


people online feel less like NPCs somehow. I guess cause we can read their perspective
