Hodgepodge posted:i get the distinct feeling with those things that people were basically convinced to buy into something with no real purpose but to get you to pay more for coffee and im pretty sure if i were a capitalist psycho type id be profiling people and business based on how i could use whatever flaw this reveals in their decision making process I think you're absolutely correct. the "Free office coffee" service probably cost $60k a year as an expense for the corp, but it was a small benefit and helped offset the workers going to starbucks and getting $6 coffee on e: in the summer rush months, the corp also facilitated Wednesday "Little Ceasers Pizza Days" where they'd just buy a fuckton of lovely pizzas for like $3, and charge the workers a few bucks to get some pizza. It was slightly commie in that, "hey, you got no money, is ok, eat pizza you pay next time!" The follow-up story is that the one time a senior VP flew out to visit, our municipal power went out so the nasty diesel generator kicked on, and only 1/3 of the power outlets would draw power. I got to eat some hour old pizza with an unhappy exec who had to pretend that he cared for us, and to hatch an impromptu plan to get he office back to work with only 1/3 outlets and his own executive leadership! Nevermind that most of the shift went home after $3 pizza lunch because their supervisors wouldn't pay them. Let's go hunting power cables and plugging them into whatever phase outlets. palindrome has issued a correction as of 09:42 on Jun 13, 2021 |

Unless your in a very specific industry there will never be free workplace weed cause it’s a drag on productivity and especially if you’re not an office drone and doing real work like moving inventory or manufacturing. Coffee on the other hand will get you up and moving and then you can crash after your shift is over.

That may be true today but I can see a forward thinking office 20 years from now, providing forward thinking amenities to its workers. It's like that long twitter thread about corporations stated. The people in charge now are the people that grew up several eras ago. Eventually some stoner kid is going to be CEO or at least ultra manager and introduce this one weird trick to stimulate creativity in bored office workers

Dreylad posted:i had to cut back from 3 cups of tea to 2 small mugs. having caffeine just surge through your system as soon as you drink it is wild, i assume that's what it's like to drink an energy drink or a big cup of coffee or something when i got up to three sugar free red bulls in the morning i knew i had to stop, the first two were just to make me feel normal/keep headaches at bay and the third one to wake me up but it mostly just made me jittery as gently caress and i'd crash around 2pm hard. tapered down and now i drink zero per day and save ~$180/mo. that was on top of drinking 2-3 cups of black tea every day, which i still do and is fine and i can quit any time i just don't want to again this is pretty  compared to quitting a real drug (quitting smoking was harder) but it's amazing how much of modern life is refined and turned into addictive/dependence-forming/etc substances or experiences

The Harry Potter universe is explicitly divided into literally magical awesome people and regular boring people. It's actually pretty fashy even without the author's transphopia.

In the Harry Potter universe, the people are represented in two separate, yet equally important groups: the muggles, who are boring, and the wizards, who are magical awesome people in a secret fascist society. These are their stories.

They hide themselves from the muggles because otherwise everyone would want magical solutions to their problems. You know, like disease, poverty, hunger and all that other stuff wizards could trivially solve.

So what happens when someone buys it - can they just knock it down and build something even uglier but more pleasing to the lovely multi-millionaire eye?

Same thing as WFH. I realize it's weird I'm not just letting this go but the woowoo stuff really bothers me, and I'm not just being pastafarian or wevs. The idea of declaring yourself helpless and submitting to a higher authority to regulate your behavior so you be redeemed contradicts every piece of therapy I've ever learned/applied and it reeks of fire and brimstone. Being raised evangelical I can smell that poo poo from a mile away and AA has it. Like how many times are you going to say "Yeah AA can help just ignore a lot of it" before recommending AA without the bullshit? Can we just move past it already?
