That picture doesn't at all say ARE TROOPS to me, it's a white lady sitting in her corporate cocoon laughing at protesters getting tear gassed. Which seems pretty relevant for the past few years.

If he wants them to understand why he cares beyond working hours he should give them part ownership, that'll teach 'em. Make them equal shares and include all employees of course.

TheMostFrench posted:It doesn't even make sense when you think about it, the picture lacks context and people fill in the gaps with their own ideas. At a glance it looks like a woman is filiming and laughing at a war veteran outside in the cold, while she is comfortable inside enjoying her corporate fast food. She isn't even pointing the phone at him (it's narcissim again to think that any time you see the back of a phone pointed forwards it must mean someone is taking a picture, and it might be a picture of you All the smoke made me immediately think tear gas, which means that guy's e: Oh wait he's got medals on, guess I'm dumb too

), and it's weird that people might conclude that a war veteran outside on a cold day is something that should be considered tragic (we don't know where he is going or why). Also, there is no reason he can't go inside as well if he wanted to.

I can't find it on Twitter, but I saw a commercial for a doll that's loot boxes for kids. Each doll comes with three mystery accessories and you can buy more mystery boxes and they're idiots if there's not a monthly subscription service.

Been doing stockroom work for a high-street chain over Christmas, and there's quite another problem - a massive labour shortage of warehouse workers since everyone's fleeing to the continent ahead of Brexit. Despite being one of their highest-priority stores, we're going to get no further clothes deliveries over December, and deliveries of our other products will be sparse and unpredictable. We've been told to inform customers that anything we don't have will take about a week to deliver to them, and the floor staff I get looking for stuff in my stockroom are seeming increasingly harried. Best part? The owner and founder voted to leave the EU because, in their words, they didn't want to share a boardroom with 27 other CEOs.

Like there'd just be 8 different colors of more or less the same thing. But yeah the concept of "buy chances to get something good" isn't new or anything, that's basically what a lottery is. You're buying a chance at the prize you really want.

The prizes should all be no-alcohol drinks except for the super rare which is some 200 year old bourbon. edit: see arcades and gacha machines work on the principle that almost all the prizes are worth less than the money you put in, even if you get a perfect run of luck.

Powershift posted:Under our current capitalist system, what percentage of gacha shots can legally just be bleach? Oh none can be JUST bleach but after some lobbying efforts we have managed to redefine the limit to which a percentage of a solution can include bleach but not be defined as such. Therefore all shots will have a small, totally nonharmful* level *as defined by our in house study

World War Mammories posted:concept: gacha vending machines except each ball carries a shot of a different liquor I pitched the idea of plastic flasks filled with a random type of liquor. $20 and you get some kind of vodka. It could be Orlav but it could be something fancy and expensive. I was thinking each flask would come plastic wrapped and have a little "HERES WHAT YOU GOT!" card inside. I would absolutely buy one
