loving lmebo if Mattress Firm goes under 'cause those fuckers cluster their stores obscenely dense, 175 closures nationwide would leave only like 80 stores per state on average. The most frequently asked question sfter "Can I use your bathroom?" was "Why do you guys have two stores within a mile of each other?" To which the answer was "We used to have THREE stores within one mile." Nevermind all the stores that are closer than THAT still. Protip: when you find a bed you like, get it outlet (returned) or floor model on a 15 margin. Works better if your salesman CLEARLY did not want to wake up that morning.

What could a swarm (like 30) of jungle cats (let's say leopards) mounted by exceptionally-buff circus midgets wielding horse dildos do to our civil infrastructure? For the purpose of this exercise, let's say the leopards are fireproof and the midgets can communicate telepathically with each other.

Reconnected with a buddy who moved to Texas to be with her partner; apparently sandwich slaves get 8/hour in store and 5/hour while driving delivery despite not receiving tips (people could tip, but why tip the Panera driver?), and it seems the boss doesn't have to bring it up to state minimum. America doesn't have labor laws, lol. I admire her fortitude, I'd've taken up banditry by now. Yes, I'm aware everyone is armed to the teeth but a gun's useless if its wielder is dead.

Epic High Five posted:Volunteer to deliver a big catering order and then just take it home and never return Insh'allah, but I think it's just poo poo that my sister, who delivers pizza and even at 10.50/hour lives off of tips, wouldn't bother driving on a bad night or to a particularly bad neighborhood, if she knew for a fact that she was gonna get stiffed. Luckily for my sister, the current management has her back regarding habitual stiffs. Their labor is stretched so goddamn thin because the pay is poo poo and the work is poo poo and she will never ever breathe a word about unionisation because she assumes that a job that can't hire enough staff for reasonable shifts can replace an enthusiastic cross-trained delivery driver with the zone all but memorised. Also she REALLY hates Black Lives Matter protestors, not directly out of racism, but because she believes that protesting in front of city hall or a police station would affect positive change more readily than shutting down the intersection near where someone was gunned down. Or claims to believe. She knows as well as I that no amount of non-violent protest will accomplish anything.

Epic High Five posted:our system did this automatically so they required the management to run a report once a week to see if anybody received it, tell them to claim more tips, and if they appeared again they were fired lol ...When their salary depends on their not understanding it. Everyone realises this is bullshit, so why aren't smarter billionaires hiring hit squads to take out uncooperative execs? It's unlikely to lead to full communism ever, but it would definitely relieve pressure from the serfs and by extension themselves, and then they'd even be able to hoover up all the newly-liberated wealth, not to mention that which is created by their newly-appeased slave force.

Epic High Five posted:shareholders say that'll be bad for the next quarterly reports sorry What I'm saying is that, given that this entire system is built on unequal distribution of resources and asymmetry of information, a forward-thinking (though by no means benevolent) billionaire could arrange for their business rivals to have unfortunate accidents or become bored of living or what have you, and said rivals' resources can be used to spur economic growth to keep this hellish monstrosity shambling along for another decade. Capitalists are clinical psychopaths, so why not make a rival's resources one's own resources? Increase score AND eliminate competition. Seems efficient to me.

Legit, how do I sell my hair? Got a full, luscious head of it and it's just getting in the way. I can pay for a haircut to donate it to Locks of Love, but there doesn't appear to be a way to sell it for money I can spend, only for Fantastic Sams or Great Clips to sell a haircut and then receive a tax write-off for it. Google wasn't unhelpful when I searched. I've been shiny-bald twice and it's not bad; it's lots of fun to rub one's freshly shorn head on a cat. As a bonus, when it starts to grow back, I look intimidating as gently caress.

^^^^^^^^ Yes, this, unless, if hired, doing so would cause non-bougies to suffer even more than they currently are. The second one. It's a couple duals and some miscellaneous money cards. Good quality counterfeits mostly, some of the print is a little off and they're clearly too heavy of stock, but in a sleeve no one would look twice at them aside from I'm super poor and anyone who knows of me would call the head judge so quick. One day after visiting my mate who broke his pancreas, I was hungry and dehydrated enough that I was contemplating spending money at McDonald's. On my way to the bus stop I chose, I found 2 McChickens, still warm. On the bus whose stop I chose, I found a nearly-full bottle of water, untainted. You want me in your party because my magic find is almost as high as I want to be, is what I'm saying. Tubgoat fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jul 30, 2018 |
