For some reason I remembered MAN CRATES this weekend and went to see if they still exist because the "send people dumb poo poo in a box" craze seems to be dying, but sure enough:

When you need a gift that says "Hey dad, I don't actually know you well enough to get you something you'd like so here's some generic novelty Man Objects" but you don't even know enough about your dad to know which of the generic man objects to get him

no no the disrespectful part is comparing the mafia to any business that'd call employees 'associates' or the like, because as i understand it the mafia tends to take care of their own mostly

On the one hand they think of each other as family in more than just a patronizing corporate paternalism way. On the other hand, instead of being fired you and your entire family get murdered and dissolved in acid, so its impossible to say which is better

Former panhandler here, just wanted to chime in. I’ve had a lot of crappy jobs in my life and begging is still by far the most soul crushing. Mostly everyone looks through you like you’re a pan of glass, and a number of the ones who acknowledge you exist spew vitriol at you. You stop feeling like a person after a while. And if you’re doing it in a downtown area you'll make about a little less than minimum wage (you can make a lot more if you take a bus out to a shopping center in a wealthy suburb, but the clock is ticking until the cops show up).

If you can’t afford to give someone a buck, try to at the very least make eye contact with them and a small “Sorry, can’t today.” It will remind folk they’re still connected to humanity.

I'm glad I can do that much, because I always feel monstrously terrible for not having cash on hand, and even then I don't have a ton. You can blame the lack of a social safety net for creating this situation, but a few dollars might make the difference between eating that night or having money for a cheap place to stay.

My fiancees mom has been tied up in legal issues with her old employer. She got injured on the job when she got rear-ended traveling from point a to b. The city paid out diddly poo poo she her lawyer said take it to workers comp.

Turns out the guy didn't have workers comp insurance (which I've got a fun story about that once this ends) so they're tied up figuring out how much he has to pay and all that fun poo poo. Well her lawyer brought up some pay discrepancies and he just cut her a check for almost $3k because wage theft is real.

I used to work there were I made the gourmet popcorn. The caramelizer was too tall to stir popcorn in without a step ladder only because he was king poo poo of the world he didn't really believe in safety protocols so my ladder was a milk crate.

Do you ever worry that tech millionaires working at their first job where they get to call in rich are paying too much in taxes? Don't worry, there's a fix for that! And the Seattle Times (owned by the Blethen family, who are uber-wealthy anti-inheritance-tax fuckheads) is presenting it like it's so good.

I wonder how many more days must pass before the masses start separating these assholes from their vital fluids.

For the sake of humanity I hope that this day comes soon
