I don't get it - it doesn't sound like they were just giving old pastries by the letter. It also says coffee and gift cards. Were the employees buying the gift cards to give out, or stealing them?

The gift cards thing just plain wasn't happening. And the coffee was mainly the dregs left over at the end of the shift, but even if it was fresh coffee who gives a poo poo

This is more .txt than .png, but this just got posted in my work slack (in the "ethics" channel lol) and a handful of people are cooing over it, even though it's a bunch of dumb PR poo poo that says and commits them to absolutely nothing:

Their first loving point is "The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is too low and should be raised," and they mention how they pay their workers $15/hr :thunk:

yeah its always funny when a business tries to pat themselves on the back about paying above minimum wage

doubly so when the company in question is only doing it because the country's most popular politician pressured them into it, and even then they only did it while taking away benefits because Bezos is a lizard brained fucker

Yeah except both had the potential to do FAR worse. And that potential is in any single nuclear power station, the worst effects of coal are at an industrial level aren't they?

Please expand on what exactly you think the worst potential damage is for a nuclear reactor. A nuclear explosion? Perhaps a Chernobyl or Fukushima? Genuine question because I want to know where you're coming from, what do you see in your mind's eye for a nuclear reactor worst case scenario.

And what do you think the worst potential damage is for a coal plant?

In terms of real effects you might as well drop as many steel rods of similar size into the ocean

Underrated addition to the Sony patent. How does someone makes this and not realize their contribution to the world getting worse.



this is the exact kind of poo poo we get with interstitial playable mobile ads nowadays

Luckily if you purposely fail those as quick as possible it'll take you right to the CTA and you can usually close it from there

It's true. It's like when everybody couldn't stop talking about that Gillette ad I didn't watch, either. These ads are fully serving the purpose they were designed to serve.

I don't even know what ad you're talking about, sounds like you're more impacted by it than us. If that's the case then yeah it might be good for you to avoid ads for self care reasons

Oh please, you were probably talking nonstop about it on your previous account.

So you're talking about a Gillette ad from before 2002. I don't blame you for avoiding ads if you're fixating that hard

It doesn't have to be deliberate. The Gillette ad certainly worked in getting people talking about the brand. Same as this ad.

A propaganda version in which the fleet is caught completely flat footed by the enemy and bungles the initial invasion to the point the Sky Marshal resigns because they did such a lovely job.
