So the Matrix?

I’m part of it and I’m being abused.

😘

It makes me feel weird when I try to recommend stuff I really like. I’ll be so in favor of the things I like that it sounds like I’m selling it to you because I want you to like it too. I’m sure some people think I’m shilling the Steam Deck.

I’m not even mad that I just paid full price. I don’t think I’ve been happier with any other purchase I’ve ever made!

The US is a top. The bad kind who’s trying to convince you their abuse is for your own good.

NO IT WON’T

Yeah, Domino’s is only worth it if you do the coupon shit right. I got me and my roomie a pizza each, Parmesan bites, and cinnamon twists the other day for $20 + a fiver for the driver.

I work in flexographic printing as a QA and I get to see the numbers in our database. A print/lamination job for a million and a half impressions of frozen chicken nugget bags will gross $350,000. We do that in a day and a half while the other press and laminator is also doing other jobs. One of our presses costs $3.5m. we could literally be buying a new one every goddamn month. Press operators are at $25/hr for 5-6 12hr shifts every week. I make $17/hr for an admittedly really easy job(except when we’re really busy).

Our roof leaks everywhere. The eye wash stations are all broken. They only just fixed the AC because they’re expecting people to quit just after the latest round of BS. They just installed a crazy number of cameras and are now installing a turnstile because they think people are stealing hours. They owe literally all of us back pay for the pay half year because the clock system isn’t tracking lunch properly.

Our big boss owns a whole damn building in Manhattan. We could all be doing really well if this guy wasn’t just a leech in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars every year. The only reason we can’t make more money is because we don’t have the financial freedom to leave or stand our ground. We have no union. None of us will ever have the chance to invest in our own equipment. Our wages are a leash, not a return on value produced.

NO IT WON’T

Well I certainly am, but our countries are backwards.

Bottom

Do they have unions?

Neither the country nor the gang are picking up literally everyone. Your anecdote is invalid.

#10 looks best! Definitely shows some character!

I gotta bring this up when I see the chemical bois putting those numbers up. https://youtube.com/shorts/ytXnW-qgaMg

Oooohhhh, nice!

So cute!!!

I swear I’ve seen nearly this exact pic before though.

What are you smoking? Yes they have. All the time. Welcome to Earth. We have war for oil and cows.
