IIRC, it's an old concept in fast food restaurants, but more recent as far as workplace pooping goes.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

It's simple: if it's even slightly related to your job and you aren't choosing to do it with your own free time as leisure, then it's billable hours

I think the issue is less "would I demand to be paid for this activity" than "your boss thinks he is working 55 hours a week because he goes golfing, works out, has 1 hour paid lunches every day, etc"

And that mostly just speaks to the absurdity of of work valuation where a CEO thinking they deserve millions of dollars for their grueling "55" hours of work, when for example landscapers work longer hours, harder work, and those same CEOs will pay them peanuts. (Not trying to imply this is your stance)

When it comes to CEOs, I think the underlying mindset is that these people are demigodlike geniuses who magically produce Value by existing. When I eat a sandwich I'm just eating a sandwich, but when Adam Neumann eats a sandwich he's thinkfluencing and mindstorming and innoventing.

Sorry if I caused any unpleasant feeling with my Musk insult.

Edit: I do believe Musk is only one step adjacent to all those conspiracy twits blaming everything on "globalists." He's very clearly saying that there's a "legacy media" conspiracy against him so its not a stretch in my mind.

I don't think CEOs should necessarily be abolished, they should just be adequately compensated instead of taking home several orders of magnitude more than the actual workers. There's nothing inherently wrong with being a mascot and having an 18-hour work week.

I dunno about that, there's a lot of lovely photoshop smear happening there. Pretty sure the one on the left had his chest hair painted on and they all had their proportions hosed around with. And heads replaced? Shadows feel uncanny.

This is also utterly lost on the kind of person that thinks a post like the one we're picking at is some kind of massive biotruth slam dunk.

Yeah, along with the general outrage it was pretty immediately pointed out it'd be ADA noncompliant.

Now they've rebranded it to be a toilet seat about 'improving your health and wellbeing'. Install it! It increases workplace employee wellness and productivity!

1/ Twitter ads no longer say "promoted" down in the bottom left corner of the tweet, now it's a smaller "Ad" in the top right so you don't instantly twig that it's an advert.

2/ This is a real advert on Elon's hellsite:

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

It's basically the equivalent of trying to scare workers out of demanding higher wages by blatantly lying about how tax brackets work.

The Foot_Whisperer is a guy who walks up to a person and starts talking to a particular foot. The Feet_Whisperer talks to the dozens of feet he stores in his bedroom.

Was watching the mlb.com stream yesterday for trade deadline news and had to laugh that all of their graphics still show twitter and the twitter icon and they talked about twitter all night because everything comes from twitter. Wonder how long it'll take for news organizations to bite the bullet and change their graphics or if they just say gently caress it we're going to keep calling it twitter.
