COMRADES posted:In high school I worked at a movie theater and the worst shift to get put on was ticket taker because all you would do is stand at the door and take people's tickets. For 4-6 hours. That was it. Because if they sat down, loving Boomers would complain to the managers about the lazy kids who can't even stand up when not doing anything. I worked retail for almost a decade when I was at uni and it took years for my feet and knees to recover from standing in one spot for hours and hours.

You see in my native country you're always covered by worker comps when you're on your commute, Now i live in a shithole where half of the year is snowing and you can twist an ankle every 5 minutes and they won't even cover you the first 3 days off-work

I laughed uncontrollably at this. I'm going to make that sign and put it on the vending machine at work. I'm guessing that's at a Target, both due to the use of "team members" and "pop."

Why would this be a thing? Is it cheaper there and they want you to buy it elsewhere? Or does the machine run out of drinks too quickly?

My work offers 25 cent Gatorades to the warehouse employees in the summer. They have the same policy because as soon as the machine got filled, an employee would just buy every single Gatorade to resell after work.

Also, from my observations most patent law is legalese chicken-playing bullshit, and the minute someone with a real law degree looks at most patent claims they crumple like the rear bumper of a Ford Pinto.

K. Also, quote:Commentators noted, however, that the Court's ruling was narrow in scope, and did not set a broad legal precedent with respect to the applicability of the doctrine of patent exhaustion to self-replicating technologies.

yeah because if there's someone I trust to uphold people's rights its the 21st century supreme court edit: the supreme court can literally just make up poo poo to make it legal so despite "commentators" they can and will use it as proof that genetic patents are a thing

Meanwhile there have been a bunch of other plant patent lawsuits (mostly against farmers who have the audacity to save seeds instead of buying new ones every loving year) that didn't make it to the supreme court because that "not-precedent-setting" case absolutely did set precedent, and regardless I'm pretty confident I can predict who the current supreme court would side with the next time a case makes it there.

My work used to give us free coffee any time, and also 4 euros a week for anything free from the vending machines. 1 euro for a drink can, 1 euro for a chocolate bar. And the coffee from the vending machine was 80 cents. Then the company running our cafeteria complained (they didn't run the vending machines at the time), and so the free drinks were stopped. Then when they took the contract for both the cafeteria and vending machines, loaded half of the machines with 2.50 euro protein shakes and 2.50 euro energy bars which no one buys to this day. The vending machine coffee was upped to 1.60 euros, and the regular cafeteria coffee they sell stays at the same price but you get a quarter less now.
