When my company did mandatory personality tests I didn't do it and then lied about the results and it saved me a lot of time. They went around the room in multiple meetings asking about your "personality color" and how that was informing a decision you were making. I just told them my color was red, and as an A-type high energy extrovert I could feel it in my gut that my choices were right.

Pro: you don't feel judged Con: your medical data is smeared all over the internet and amazon starts suggesting herpes creme

The article says the game is more complex than that. Sounds like its a collection of mini-games and you spend in-game currency to play them, which you get for free, but you can buy more with real cash. One of those games is a slot machine style game but its got some multiplayer or clan system and it sounds way more complex than a normal slot machine. The game's total monthly cash flow is in a chart in the article and if someone spent 100,000 in a year they were 1/10th of the game's total revenue.

Some evictions are more humane than others, so I think this is an area where the police could really help communities by doing evictions "the right way". Specifically an eviction is more humane when the person being evicted has more money. All we have to do is determine the number of people who need to be evicted and then start with the richest person and work our way down the list until we've evicted enough people. This would neatly solve the problem with the least distress possible.

The only sample size I have any information about is work and it's the people pushing their 50s that pull the wipers up when it snows It doesnt do anything. If your poo poo gets coated in ice you have to melt it all with your defrosters anyway so leave them against the glass. The farther north you go the less people do this. Here in VA 90% of people do for 1cm of snow, but in MI nobody would for a foot of snow.

Working an idle-game IT job is hell. You just sit there stressed out assuming everyone is mad at you because you're too depressed to work but too anxious not to try and spin your wheels watching lovely twitch streams just drowning in stress. It's poo poo. It's a blessing during a pandemic but without the pandemic I would prefer any other job I've done before, except that I require health insurance and the ability to retire at some point. Being a janitor, working at a factory, cooking at the restaurant, etc. The highest quality of work is social, outdoors, in-person, communal and voluntary. Basically being Amish but with social safety nets, beneficial technology and healthcare.

I bought a car in 2015 and it was my first time buying from a dealership. I went to one and test drove a car, and then got a printout with a quote on it. I told the sales guy "This is great, thank you, but I do need to shop around a bit more and compare a few prices". The dude reached out and snatched the printout from my hands, ripped it up, and told me "the deals off then, we can't give you that price". I was stunned honestly like actually stunned. I told him "fine, that's not going to stop me from shopping around" and left. As I'm driving away from the dealership I get a phonecall, obviously from the dealership. I bounced it and checked the voice mail later and its like "hey man, this is the manager wow I heard you weren't happy about the price we offered you please give me a call back right away so we can talk" and gently caress that what the hell? It was like being in a sitcom about buying a car or something. I've never had an adult snatch an item out of my hands like that before it was like in Always Sunny when Mac grabs the contract from the lawyer and eats it.

Proust Malone posted:on the topic of overthinking car colors, I feel unsettled about the current fashion of drab and matte colors on cars, or even more on trucks. They evoke this weirdly fascistic aesthetic of masculinity you find in things like toiletries where the men’s stuff is just Spartan and grey to avoid the risk a color might threaten my delicate hold on my heterosexuality. Yup that truck is "super white".

It's good to boycott Amazon even if the effort is too small to damage Amazon through some market mechanism, or even if you redirect your money into a different company that's evil. It gets people talking and thinking about the problem and it creates a daily/weekly touch point where you can reflect on how lovely capitalism is. We've already seen this be effective though, like when Bernie scared them into paying 15/hr. It's important not to insist that we solve every problem at once and let people get mad about this stuff and take action even when that action isn't perfect.

You have to interact with capitalism to survive and there's no "right" thing to do. But understanding that and getting on with it is different than jumping on someone for trying to do the right thing. If people want to boycott amazon good. gently caress them and that's it.

PokeJoe posted:was that the result of a boycott or bad press? I think bad press, social media criticism, political pressure and boycotts are all connected. When you see chuds posting about boycotting coke they know that the actual market pressure is nothing, but the social media backlash can make things happen. If they can generate a meme that ted cruz wants to latch onto they might end up with an actual change taking place. I view boycotts like propaganda. It's just to get people talking about it. I know Amazon issues crazy press releases and gets all worked up about mean tweets, we saw that on the amazonnews twitter account this month. I think at the executive level they are operating under some illusion of being normal people and it bugs them to see wide swaths of the internet talking poo poo about them, and then combined with political pressure like from Bernie on the $15/hr they end up giving up some ground to try to placate people.
