Oh, then the dipshit is definitely going to try it.
- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 5 days ago:
Yeah, IIRC when a bunch of large corporations got away with doing this in the 1980s and 90s, a lot of us just assumed it would keep happening. Some people have tried raising the alarm about this, but have been shouted down pretty consistently.

Sorry, but this is kinda separate:
we couldn’t possibly pay the market price for it.

I was like but that’s the job.
This is literally what labour unions are for?
- Comment on he forgor 6 days ago:
Well, this shows that the people in charge have no idea what they’re running, and are not adding any value. We’ve been brainwashed (by them being our eyeballs and brains) to think they do.
They do not.
I cannot stress this enough:
THEY DO NOT.
- Comment on he forgor 6 days ago:
Thanks. It sounds like our backgrounds are similar.
Writing JDs for new roles I had to fill I was constantly getting them knocked back by HR.
That’s awful. It feels really bad when you feel you’re standing in the way of people getting jobs. When you would normally feel like you might be a leftist, this sort of point can be easily exploited to make you feel bad, right?
I don’t even want to address the rest of your points until we go over this one because it feels so important.

No, I ended up hiring under qualified people who had skills on paper but had no talent for the job, because I had to look at candidates who had ‘book’ qualifications in adjacent fields but not passion of qualifications that actually meant anything.

15 years ago. Unfortunately not of my own volition (I became I bece unable to work due to disability).
- Comment on he forgor 6 days ago:
Fun fact: I had a career in which I was in charge of hiring other people to fill the expanding roles in my department, and was tasked with hiring ‘more of myself’, but I was not allowed to even co wider people with my own qualifications.
I was mostly self-taught, and was only allowed to consider people with at least bachelor’s degrees in a field that didn’t even really exist yet.
You can probably guess how that went.

Thx. Looks like Facebook rage bait.
I left there a few years ago tho so maybe it’s changed?Rage bait on inspirational backgrounds was a think for a while, then i stopped looking forever.

- Comment on 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy': Bella Shepard Reveals How Genesis' Setback Just Set up Season 2 1 week ago:
Really hoping the negativity doesn’t get this show cancelled. It’s actually good, and corporate wants to cancel everything with soul.
Bella is great in her role. The whole cast is fantastic. I’ve been watching since TOS in the late 70s, and this show has the heart of Trek. If it’s cancelled before it gets to find its sea legs (like so many things), that will be tragic.
It’s weird, it’s funky, and it’s Trek. I feel like I’m in the minority, but I like it.

No sympathy.

Hey man, you’re under no obligation to tell him, nor to defend him.
So stop defending him.

I guess that’s fair, though my 89 year old dad who’s also not terminally online knows this, so I have a hard time with excuses now.
Much as it sucks, if I see your boss driving that crime against fingers, I’m still gonna see him as a Nazi. Maybe someone should tell him.

Yeah, true. But we’re like several years past that now. If you could afford one of those sins against the design gods, you could afford to take the L by now.

Rage bait is boring.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Owning a cybertruck is an indication the driver is a Nazi. It was always an indicator of very poor taste, but now it marks you as a Nazi. Don’t bother trying to change my mind. I know it, my cat knows it, the mould in that tupperware I keep putting off opening in the far reaches of my fridge knows it.
No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.

- Comment on Every so often, it's important for our community to pause, heal, and reflect together on what's truly important and why we're all here. 1 week ago:
Potatoes are far better than corn. Potatoes heal the soil as well as the soul. Potatoes make us whole. Potatoes are superior to corn and beans.
Potatoes are easy to grow, they self-propagate, and they’re both nutritious and tasty. Corn is okay, but nothing compared to potatoes.
Corn didn’t wreck us when we couldn’t grow it. Potatoes did. We cannot live without potatoes. Potatoes are life.
