I remember someone once pointing out to me how very binary the setting really is. That is, everyone's either good or evil, with no real in-between.

With this kind of simplistic idea, it's no wonder a lot of people that don't take effort to think of something too deeply to identify shades-of-grey in life would attach themselves to it.

Yeah but there are still people who are way too into dressing up like stormtroopers or Imperials with their Hugo Boss uniforms.

Or the ones who want to fellate Boba Fett, they're usually real fuckin lovely people.

As for that monitor stand, I see it as a $1k discount for pros who already use VESA mounts

[I'm not gonna buy it]

Bingo, at least it's an option. like even if it were a few hundred bucks, I DO appreciate the fact that most of their customers might not want a stand anyway

Disney Quest was great and I went again the week before they closed it.

But it wasn't a theme park, just a huge arcade.

Getting to play Fix it Felix Jr was pretty great though

It's really a $1,000 discount on a $6,000 monitor if you squint real hard and are an apple whore

Counterpoint: Two of the biggest Commies I know IRL both did the Boba Fett thing.

Granted they were outnumbered the troops and cops, but hey.

real life lootboxes that are also made of so much plastic that will absolutely not get recycled

And that host's gestures and enthusiasm are creepy

yes because unlike Jedi and Troopers, Boba Fett is a worker

Is that one solid piece of welded aluminum? Will make packing it when transporting more difficult than the usual countersunk bolts under the base.

For some employers, doing extensive prep for an interview and arriving on time isn’t enough. They may also subject you to some serious mindgames

quote:

Trent Innes, managing director of Australian accounting company Xero, bases his hiring decisions on what people do with their glass or coffee cup. “You can develop skills, you can gain knowledge and experience, but it really comes down to attitude,” he recently told The Venture Podcast. “And the attitude that we’ve talked a lot about is the concept of ‘wash your own coffee cup’.” Similar is the Wrapper Test, where a sweet wrapper is dropped by the door of the interview room and the candidate is judged on if they pick it up. This is supposed to provide insights into a person’s selflessness and attention to detail.

quote:

Another CEO revealed to the New York Times that she texts prospective employees at 9pm or 11am on a Sunday, “just to see how fast you’ll respond”.

that picture is actually sadder, because they're using AR on their phones/ipads to see what the actual mount, which isn't there, would look like on it.

Love being subjected to mindgames by a sociopathic CEO earning hundreds of times my prospective wage.

Guillotines. Guillotines for all.

Also the reason like every goddamn restaurant shows their price as "9" instead of "9.00" is because people subconsciously rank 9 as less than 9.00

Also also 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1 is obvious but 0.33333... + 0.33333... + 0.33333... = 0.99999... = 1 is so crazy that people will get downright angry about it

Humans have a lot of dumb blind spots when it comes to numbers is what I'm getting at.

Some apple poo poo feels really good, like you can probably run your baby-skinned hand around every edge of that $999 thing and not get cut by any poorly machined metal burrs. I'd rather have a thing that only "may" have a manufacturing defect for $50 though, and might be made of steel/plastic instead of aluminum or whatever.

the supreme thing is just baffling to me. the actual clothes and logo are generic as gently caress so you end up with people paying $600 for a white tee shirt with the Colgate logo.
