I used to sell that same kind of thing, some clients had some loving pretty good owns on the company through it, but by and large they got screwed hard. I've only ever seen this poo poo go down in person so it was easier for the customer to make a scene and rightfully get their way. A good sticking point was insisting that you bought the features tied to a specific brand. Some brands dropped whatever garbage tier product they'd been selling and the customer ended up with something way better than they'd bought. My absolute favorite was this guy who came in on his final year of his warranty plan. He'd bought a laptop when USB was just rolling out and manufacturer's had been putting the USB ports at the back of the laptop. He was a trucker who had the thing set up in the glove box. So for him an equivalent device was one with USB ports at the back and of a certain screen size. Everyone dropped that form factor by then, though, and the only comparable machine they had was a top of the line Sony Vaio. Dude stood his ground, argued with the entire store's chain of command and ended up taking it home.

A former buddy of mine had a kid with a certified loon and they named the poor fella "Bruce Wayne Lastname" kinda weird to name a kid after a character famous for murdered parents and a life of psychological torture stemming from that trauma but hey he's my former buddy because she made him cut all contact with his friend group. Ran into them at the food bank last year; he was friendly and shook my hamd as though he hadnt cut contact for months, she pretended I didn't exist, and Bruce.... well- you ever see a 100 lb preverbal child? I didn't say 'poor fella' because of his name  so I just assume that anyone that names their kid after comic people have at least a skosh of the narcissism that turns one's favorite kitsch into another's entire identity anyway p sure capitalism isn't solely responsible for that folie a deux child abuse nightmare but it can't be helping

CommonShore posted:I'm "exercise" and "working alone." For me what really puts it over the top is that "personal appointments" is included and is within the "miscellaneous" wedge which happens to be the largest one making up almost 40% of their week. Everything else can have a veil of bullshit on it to make it seem part of a work week--even exercise--but there is really no justifying something you have classified as personal lmfao

I can't fault the CEOs on this one. Capitalism is all about individualism and efficiency, and a good equation for measuring that individual efficiency is income divided by time worked. People who do nearly no work are almost infinitely efficient and are therefore justly rewarded. This models many real-world aspects of capitalism. Giving money to others has negative efficiency and is very bad. The unemployed can be disregarded as an anomaly: zero/zero = NaN. Trust fund babies are infinitely efficient, while parasitic organisms like landlords are close to infinity but unfortunately not quite there.

awhile ago someone made some posts about education philosophy in the mid-20th century united states, it was either here or the cspammiest pics thread. it went into some detail about a guy whose ideas influenced the disbursal of New Deal funding to schools with his idea that schools should be "palaces of education" capable of imparting a broad, thorough, and intensive Liberal education that cultivated critical thinking, literacy, and civic mindedness as well as technical literacy. it was meant to be a paradigm for universal education and iirc the guy was basically an anti-racist progressive in the old-fashioned positivist sense, so ofc his ideas were only partially implemented and never became ubiquitous anyway I've been thinking about that a lot and I can't seem to find out who the guy was or the name of his ideas, just the specific term "palaces of education" which doesn't help much alone in google

Found an article about that specific seat: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/standing-up-airplane-seat-testing/index.html quote:First things first: Gaetano Perugini, engineering adviser at Aviointeriors, is keen to stress that the concept's not about creating "cattle class" and cramming in as many passengers in as possible. What a bizarre argument. "It's not about creating a cattle class and cramming in as many passengers as possible it's... about creating a cattle class and cramming in as many passengers as possible!" I assume since the guy is showing off a prototype and giving a pitch meant for prospective buyers that it makes sense to the brain-rotted executives at airlines and the guy's just not used to talking to anyone else
