Gross.

I will NEVER buy Charmin brand toilet paper unless I am in dire need. I hate those cartoon bears with a fervor bordering on psychosis.

I haven’t watched the video either, but capitalism wouldn’t die so quietly. It would take a major societal change. If capitalism was dying, we’d know.

I became aware of Lemmy during reddit’s API bullshit. I left, and never posted there again. Let their greed, bots, and enshittification rot.

Before reading the other comments, I would have said that it’s probably a meaningless doodle, but it looks evil to people who are reflexively suspicious of anything unfamiliar.

That note under the punch clock is a hilarious overreaction, and I love it! Management isn’t just feeding the troll; they’re making the troll a full Thanksgiving dinner.

I was hired by someone, but when I showed up for my “first day”, they denied ever offering me the position. Of course, I was pissed, but I consider this “luck” because I’m sure that working for someone who pulls shit like that would have been awful.

They shouldn’t be allowed to do that. They should be required to process any legal payment. Even the icky ones.

Oh, okay. Still sucks, but at least I understand now. Thanks!

Things of questionable moral value have been available for sale for as long as money has existed. It’s not like this is new. Payment processors got into this business knowing perfectly well that some purchases may not align with their moral values. In fact, they’ve been profiting off it for decades. They don’t get to suddenly clutch their pearls now.

To be clear, I won’t miss the incest games. I just don’t like the precedent this is setting.

So… why tell payment processors exactly what was purchased? Why not call it “Steam store transaction” and that’s it?

LokiLuciano (for those of you who don’t get the reference, Lucky Luciano was a notorious gangster. Loki is, well, Loki.)

Any website that insists on emailing you a login link rather than just using a password. Then they treat it like a positive and say “no more passwords!” Fuck you.

The sanitation issues that happened at Chipotle in such quick succession a few years ago were corporate sabotage. At the time, Chipotle was the fastest growing chain in the U.S.

This is beside your very well made point, but: I avoid using the word “deplorable” specifically because of the connotation Hillary gave it.

TIL about compassion fatigue.

Good. Maybe you can do something to get that counselor replaced, then.

Is this genuinely the counselor’s opinion, or are they echoing the opinion of the person who can fire them? Is there some screwed up law/school policy that says they “can’t affirm LGBTQ+ identities”?

When it was first purchased, it was an office for a few years. Nobody lives there now.

Equality House, bought and painted to irritate Westboro Baptist Church. It’s a tie with Mott House, listed on the same page.

U.S.

If police were the honest, fair, law-abiding heroes they’re presented as, this would be a much simpler question.

Ideally, I’d choose to replace the police (not merely slap an “under new management” banner on the police station) with a MUCH more transparent and just organization that genuinely serves and protects the public.

I also don’t think there’s enough of an emphasis on safety regarding public ownership of guns. All laws need to be tightened, standardized between states, and loopholes need to be firmly closed. I know we Americans have been taught that gun ownership is an important constitutional right, but I think that in 250 years, guns have proven to do much more harm than good. Decisions on gun laws need to make public safety their primary consideration.
