It is sometimes good to think of things in terms of the cost of lost time, but that tweet is definitely deranged. If you're making 10 million a year and crunching the cost-benefit analysis of everything in your life instead of just doing whatever feels the most fun, then you're a lunatic

It takes just as much time to check out one customer who takes an hour because they have 40 000 items and tree(3) coupons and sixty customers who take a minute each. Surely not even in the US do cashiers have a daily quota of customers?

It's more that this type of customer is 100% going to be the most annoying person you'll deal with all week and will likely argue with you about every single item and coupon, especially if the coupons are expired

The retail stores I worked at in the past had some vague numbers you were supposed to make but good luck enforcing it on a part time position that you have trouble filling anyways. They’ll just hound you to death while your knees crumble to dust cause you have to stand on concrete all day.

Man it's still so hosed up that so many retailers in the US require their clerks to stand all day. There's literally no reason for it besides spite. Clerks out here in Europe get to sit and they scan items faster than god so it's definitely not a matter of efficiency

Sitting all day is terrible for you. It’s not as bad as smoking but it’s pretty goddamned bad.

Typically, working the checkout is done in shifts and no one is really on it for more than a few hours at a time, if not less

The trick is to just carry a large bag or two so you can toss everything in there as fast as they can scan things. If you're buying more than that then you'd probably need to put them back in the trolley anyway

What I don’t understand is they’ve clearly had that property for years and haven’t planted a single loving tree.

For real. I understand that maybe at some point there was more wildlife in the surrounding area, but once all those houses went up I'd want to get some trees in for at least some sense of privacy. Then again I'd also have sold it for $50million without thinking too hard about it

I wonder what's the bigger income stream : the only fans or this tik tok... thing they're doing.

Someone in the comments ran the numbers and came to the conclusion that they're pulling in something like $200~ an hour doing this. It's certainly nothing to sneeze at but I'd probably literally go insane after doing that for an hour so I can't imagine it's better than OF

With an art style that's known for exaggeration, depicting porn which is known for exaggeration, is it really a surprise that someone would draw an exaggerated facial expression? Really, I'd find it believable that someone hooked up with an absolute freak and was like, "is this normal? I guess so"

I'm glad the worst place I'd seen wasn't all that bad. I had was one where it was clear they turned a walk-in closet into one bedroom, the living room into another bedroom, and a weird storage space that was like 5 feet tall into another bedroom. Still stupid as hell and they were trying to rent it out at a price comparable to other 3br apartments in the area. The renting market makes people do the dumbest poo poo in the world

Do people just not understand how elevators work? OK so you go to the second floor, get in the elevator on its way down. You’re now in the front of the car with a lot of other people maybe. Down to the first floor, you got a shuffle while everybody behind you gets out now you’re in the back of the car. Now a bunch of people from the first floor get in and you still have to ride up through all the floors of people that just got on

Getting on to a downward elevator car doesn’t magically make it say “nah fuckit, I’m going UP now!”

The point is that you're now right in the elevator instead of waiting 20 minutes for it to make 4-5 more trips before you get to go inside

Yes, but in that situation you'd end up with an elevator full of human. You wouldn't be able to enter it, even it would go in your wanted direction.
If you need an elevator to get to your home and you're seeing such a line at the elevator, there's nothing you can do but suicide and/or homicide.

This is actually why I need an AR-15: so I can mow down the 30-50 feral residents that run into my hallway when I try getting on the elevator

It helps explain how so many people are completely ignorant about it: Most people don't actually read the book which they found an interesting quote from and plenty of folks who people listen to still insist that Lolita is a deeply romantic story.
:barf:

The incredible thing about Lolita is that Humbert Humbert explicitly says, paraphrased, "I know that most people consider what I've done to be horrific, so I'm going to write about it using fancy words and language to make you sympathetic to me" and for a significant amount of readers it somehow seems to have worked. Like, gee, yeah, this guy is a pedophile, a child molester, a kidnapper, and manipulates a woman into marrying him so he can get closer to her underage daughter, but don't you see he was just incredibly obsess--I mean, in love with this child, so really he didn't do anything bad

It’s a series of animated shorts using half-life assets on youtube basically about a scifi war between weird toilet monsters with human heads (like this one) and people with cameras/TVs for heads. The account has 18 million followers last I checked and is incredibly popular with children

Skibidi Toilet doesn't suck because it's lol so random young person humor. It sucks because it started that way but is now trying to take itself very seriously. People are legitimately getting invested in the stupid as gently caress story line and the guy making the videos noticed this and is jumping into that scene rear end first.

The kids just want to see bigger and bigger toiletheads and cameramen shoot lasers at each other, and I think that’s just fine

Y'know, it is really hosed up, but I guess I can see why the olds would blow their money on that poo poo, especially if they don't have kids. I mean, what else are they gonna spend it on? Easy dopamine bumps with an infinitesimally small chance of winning big and getting a bunch of money to do whatever the gently caress they want for what's left of the rest of their lives. It's abysmal, degrading, and dehumanizing, but if they actually had poo poo going on in their lives they wouldn't be there
