Inept posted:Ah yeah instead of increasing your pay, we'll let you participate in our ESOP where you still have no real voice in your day to day work and if the company does badly, you can lose your job and your savings. My old bank job went through a thing where they stopped paying for breaks, stopped giving people overtime, and started charging everyone for health insurance, all without increasing the wage which was already pretty well below what one would expect to get at a bigger bank. I left and cashed in my ESOP, which was not only worth more from when it first started because of all of that cost cutting, but was also ending completely, meaning everyone in it was forced to end it, and anyone who had been there less than the required years to be vested basically got nothing. So not only was there no even remote incentive to work there, but quitting and cashing in my ESOP wholesale was the better choice than actually working for them since i had been there long enough to be fully vested and get everything that was owed me. What I'm saying is that ESOPs are kind of nice if you're incredibly lucky and cash in while people are paying attention to the highest point of a sinking ship.

ate all the Oreos posted:That really seems like something that happened automatically due to an algorithm, and then when they called to complain they wound up talking to the usual customer service reps on the other side of the world who are only authorized to say "no sorry pay more please" IIRC, though, at the end of the day they still had to upgrade to the $100 a month package even though it's for a device they really rarely use. It doesn't have anything to do with what Net Neutrality is, but it is basically capitalism.png, and the guy makes the point that even if it's not actually a Net Neutrality issue, it is emblematic of what companies are willing and probably going to do without restrictions.

Please back my tomato growing garden box called TOM-8. TOM-8 takes specialized seed packs to grow genetically perfect tomatoes. Using our patented Delicious Ripeness Management software, we can be sure that only TOM-8 seeds are used in the box, and that all tomatoes are eaten at the peak of freshness. Any unripe tomatoes picked from a TOM-8 unit will turn to mush, and any left on the vine for 24 hours after peak ripeness will discarded by TOM-8's easy cleanup protocols. Be sure to back this project today to get the exclusive Founders Pack that includes 2 whole packs of DRM seeds, a commemorative tote bag, and your name in the credits of the documentary of the development of the TOM-8 units.

Powershift posted:This poo poo has almost completely taken over cough/flu medicine aisles in drug stores here, especially the children's medication section. They try as hard as they can to make it look like actual medicine, and the drug stores make absolutely no distinction. I imagine profit margins on sugar pills with a one in a million chance of having a single atom of the "active ingredient" in each box are through the roof. And just because research suggests they don't work doesn't mean they can't.

Yeah, general things get ads every now and then from their representative organizations. Eggs, oranges, the aforementioned milk. Pork was The Other White Meat for awhile for the same reason. I think it happens when they overproduce or undersell, or when a competing thing has a big setback. I think The Other White Meat came along when red meat became associated with heart problems or whatever.

The Nastier Nate posted:When I worked in a restaurant a 15 years ago the min wage in PA for tipped jobs was $2.83 so if you worked a slow weekday shift enjoy your minimum wage pay after tip out. I was a line cook though and I was making the princely sum of $7.50 an hour. Anyway recently I was curious so I looked up what the minimum wage for tipped jobs in 2019 in PA is, and guess how much they raised it to? It's cool that that number is 15 years. I got my first proper job in high school 15 years ago, and minimum wage hasn't moved at all. It's incredibly fun to think about.

One time I had a relative have her pastor deny her request to be a godparent, on the grounds that she did not tithe enough. It wasn't an issue of her faith, or her attendance of services, but that she literally didn't give the church enough money. The Catholic Church is cool as hell.

The Bloop posted:It's like Correlation Doesn't Equal Causation Dot Jay Peg They understand correlation not equaling causation well enough, because that's the argument that's used against evidence of anthropogenic climate change. They also just shut their eyes and plug their ears when shown the additional data they insist doesn't exist. It's all incredibly purposeful, and completely selective in it's implementation. Some people just don't want to think that they and the people they listen to are wrong. e: Not to go off on a complete tangent, but one of my favorite arguments for this type of stuff is when people say "The science isn't right, it changes any time new evidence is presented!", and it's like... YES! That's what evidence is for! The more evidence we get for a thing, the better we can understand it, and the more correct our predictive models will be, whether it be climate change or public health! Refusing to change in the face of new evidence is basically the exact opposite of research! I hope it's clear that when I use words like "favorite" or "funny", I mean in the darkest possible sense and that I'm laughing at what is likely my own early grave.

Sorry if I wasn't super clear, I wasn't exactly talking about regular old randos. I'm talking about people that put out articles like that, that go out of their way to purposefully obfuscate things. They know exactly what they're doing and why, and know how to appeal to people, and it works. Also, it's not a question of smart or stupid. I probably have a bunch of notions influenced by propaganda as well, and probably am just as unlikely to give them up if challenged. I just am surrounded by the type of people that buy into this particular poo poo, who are otherwise smart and capable, and it drives me crazy. Sorry if it came out as generalizing or accusatory, I was posting mad I guess.
