Fame Douglas posted:Why are landlords allowed to refuse, how does that make any sense. Why are they involved at all. bc of you accept the rent relief you can't raise the rent for a certain length of time, I think it's a year. so they're thinking it's better to reject the free money and evict bc the housing market is so hot.

Shame Boy posted:Yeah you definitely haven't tried to cancel a gym membership then lmao, they're very much designed to take advantage of laziness and shame. When I had to cancel one, the rule was you have to go into the gym (so they can initially try to goad you into keeping your membership by offering discounts that aren't actually worth much, then you can feel ASHAMED for being A QUITTER in front of their employees and all the people working out HARDER THAN YOU) and fill out this big form in writing. All to cancel something that was costing like ten bucks a month. gyms were still doing this in 2020 when they weren't even open for being able to go in person and cancel poo poo. nice lifehack

BonHair posted:No work loving sucks too. And not just financially, but also because of lack of casual social relations with coworkers and (for some of us) the lack of contributing to anything larger than oneself. Much of this can be alleviated with hobbies I guess, but what are hobbies but unpaid jobs? being unemployed on Bernie bucks kicked rear end actually.

SniperWoreConverse posted:Someone tried to train an AI to play NES games and it came to the conclusion that it could slam down tetris pieces like a mad bastard to ramp the score up really high really quick, until getting into an unwinnable situation. In that case, instead of relearning how to be better at placing pieces for a longer term strategy, just pause the game. The nerd running this thing just ended up with a bunch of emulators that had tetris paused 1 frame before game over. sounds like the stock market. can an AI run the fed?

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:lol they did this at UPS too. the interview process was basically getting a couple dozen applicants in a conference room, and then telling everyone "this job sucks, ok? you do not want to work here. the work is going to destroy your body, working weird hours will destroy your mind, and working in a giant concrete building with no windows will destroy your spirit. so - any takers?" Postal service does the same thing, plus it was for a temp gig with no guarantee of future employment!

Shame Boy posted:Kinda surprised we haven't seen more brands just outright try to harness the power of Horny While Online directly, really seems like the next step after that stint where they were all pretending to have depression. It is a well defined trend and this person put together a thoughtful timeline of the development of brands trying to get people to think about them as fuckable. currently the Duolingo owl makes tiktoks about drinking Dua Lipa's piss and got impregnated by a kitchen sponge brand in a bit of cross promotion . https://www.vulture.com/article/when-brands-got-horny.html

They're threatening to unionize to raise their pay it sounds like. But I can't read the whole thing bc of stupid Fuggin paywalls. Kitchen staff got a huge raise bc of this and it sounds like they just interviewed a bitter server who doesn't like this. For reference the waitstaff now makes $32/hr which seems astounding for being a waiter

someusername posted:Our supervisor "splits time" between our site and administration offices. Except she just tells them she's with us, and us she's with them, and bartends two towns over. It does take 6-8hrs weekly to keep up the appearances and meet w/us or her boss. There is nothing that would be improved if she worked more than that, so I'm not mad just jelly. why would you also bartend with a sweet setup like that. Seems unnecessary

my dad posted:The Black Legion (specifically the USA white supremacist anti-catholic anti-slavic organization named that way. Most of these qualifiers are necessary because there's a lot of Black Legions out there) is somehow even weirder. It's a bunch of dudes who split off from the KKK due to being too weird even for them. Imagine KKK but wearing black robes and pirate hats. there's a good Humphrey bogart movie where he listens to right wing radio and gets really racist and joins the black legion

to make matters worse for NY public sector there was a Trump era SCOTUS ruling that basically destroyed membership #s, public sector unions were made open shop overnight as opposed to requiring all employees to be dues paying members as part of their contract. So on top of no strike fund, bleeding basic resources to staff and protect contracts between bargaining periods, plus the leadership are business union hacks who are spending their time and energy in this extremely dire moment backing the mayor's office on kicking all retirees into a forced Medicare Advantage plan. They're all a total joke in my eye, they have no power at all and it's making city work unbearable. Which is of course the goal, to open up more opportunities for austerity abd privatization of social services
