People are so loving dumb with The Simpsons they like to say "It started off as a down to earth show about a struggling middle class family it could've been a live action sitcom in the first season without changing anything." When literally they go to a very expensive opera show in episode 2 and Homer gets nationally recognized as being some kind of ape creature in episode 7.

Buying a car got a lot easier once I said "I'll agree to anything as long as I get to leave here in this car." And then just signed whatever they put in front of me. Only took 8 years to pay off the loan!

Capitalism question: could someone who holds shares of stock in a large corporate agribusiness sue that corporation for being deliberately unprofitable because they refuse to spray the nitrogenous bodily wastes of their employees on their crops and, in fact, make conscious choices to simply dispose of these resources, and even knowingly spend corporate funds on facilities that promote the underutilization of them?

I was with one job where we got a piddly cash bonus for Christmas, then the next year we got an even piddlier cash bonus, then the next year we got a Target gift card, then the next year we got nothing. And we were all grateful for even the tiniest crumbs from the table of our corporate masters.

I'm a little late with quitchat but here's my story: 6 years ago I was at a horrible job where everyone was leaving. I went into the office and said I'm quitting, I'm putting my two weeks in. The manager said okay you just got to fill out this form. But there were no forms. So many people were quitting they were out of the forms to quit. The manager told me sorry, you can't quit today. We're going to print more forms, come and quit tomorrow. So I worked my full shift. Then I came into the office the next day and yes there were more forms and yes I did put in my two weeks notice. I like to say I gave them 15 days notice.

Bezos' yacht isn't for doing yacht stuff. Like having parties, swimming, sunning, all that. Bezos' yacht is to distract the press, bystanders, people with camera drones, and others. When Bezos has the urge to do yacht things he rides his yacht into a harbor, checks out the other boats, and picks one he likes. Then he has a private security team sieze it, kick off anybody who is using it, and Bezos transfers over from his own yacht in a tiny invisible minisub. THEN he does yacht stuff there. Eventually the yacht is returned to its original owner. Probably.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Best part about that is they'll be so excited to work for $11/hr they won't notice they could be walmart greeters for $15/hr. "$11 an hour?!? They only paid me $1/hr in the 70s! Wow!" We should have welfare for people in their 20's and compulsory labor for everyone over 60. Nobody should have to work till their body starts declining in their 30's, they should just focus on having fun like Peter Pan. Conversely when you're old and declining you get worked to death.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Being a notAmerican, I had to google precisely what Lunchables were. Lol the best part about being an adult is getting to eat basically this all the time and it's cool and classy and nobody judges you. It's called charcuterie. You eat it off fancy expensive pieces of wood instead of out of a little plastic tray. You can even feed it to your guests and they'll thank you and think you're wonderful and compliment you

Has anyone in this thread had food from Fox's Pizza Den? So there's a giant pizza chain that has over 200 stores but they're only in sad Appalachian mountain towns. They have picked thier audience, and their audience sucks. I have eaten their pizza and it's horrible. Sub Domino's. But these towns have a gas station, a Fox's, and nothing else. Just a rotting downtown. You don't really understand the people if you haven't had Fox's.

A truly capitalist bar would serve you a thimbleful of piss when you paid for a pint and while you're trying to drink your piss a private contractor shoots you in the head. Then your friends bury you by your high top table in return for credits they can redeem for thimbles of piss

Restaurants should be replaced by government funded cafeterias that serve fresh, well-rounded, nutritious meals to all who show up, where everyone takes a turn doing every job including serving, dishwashing, cooking, and cleaning the bathrooms

Didn't I see a video where there was an Amtrak class that was just a tiny room smaller than even a solitary jail cell that consists of a closet a seat and a toilet and that's your accommodations for 57 hours??? Also it cost like 4x the comparable plane ticket

I remember being a little aspie teen on a 14 hour Amtrak ride in 2000 or 99 or 2001 and we got stuck on a siding outside of Altoona for 6 hours and all the employees came through and apologized so much and gave us free cups of hot chocolate and I was like yes I love trains I love the idea of Amtrak I appreciate how much the Amtrak people care about our well-being I love this cup of instant hot chocolate but gently caress, this loving sucks. This just loving sucks. No matter how much you try to spin it, no matter how positive you are, this train is garbage, and being stuck on a siding for 6 hours is garbage. Fly. Always fly. I've done 12 hour plus rides on Amtrak more than 20 times. I've been on a train through West Virginia where the leaves were changing colors and were achingly beautiful and I looked out at them through the observation car and even saw a bear! It still sucked. gently caress Amtrak. Not gently caress trains, not gently caress the concept of train travel, gently caress Amtrak. You aren't missing anything. It's a Grayhound bus on tracks.

It's not Amtrak's fault that it sucks. It's underfunded, it can't go fast due to freight trains, every bit of its infrastructure and rolling stock is old. But I'm sick of being told that if I don't support Amtrak then I don't support railroads in this country. I want more passenger rail, but I don't want more lovely Amtrak trains where the main amenity is a cafe car where you purchase two microwaved White Castle burgers for $10. I want some actual decent passenger rail with comforts and quality service and such. Why is that so horrible? Why is asking for something like that such a terrible thing in this supposedly rich country??
