I can’t find it right now, but there’s this clip from ages ago where a guy is in his room watching hentai, and there’s a knock at the door followed by ‘what are you doing?’
He stammers, flustered by the situation and chokes out ‘I-uhhh-DRUGS!’
Reminds me of when we had a free and paid snack area when I was at Lowe’s. No camera in the break/locker room, a nice private place to put your stuff in your locker and eat in peace.
Then they ‘upgraded’ so instead of tap pay you had to go up to a facial recognition camera, sign into an app, buy shop cash, and buy your snack through their app via the ‘aided smart teller’ where you scan your items and do a self checkout situation that took 4x longer than before and kept your change since you have to buy their cash.
Snacks started rotting in place, the once busy room was almost always dead save the few seats outside the camera field of view.
Most folks went in the door harder to be seen from but there were only two slim corners and three seats where you weren’t watched the whole time.
I had one get a $12M bonus for the three stores they owned while telling me they can’t afford a raise or full time because things are tight for everyone
Then left the check on the desk after doing an e-deposit or whatever - then leaving for the day at 12:30
Cool guess I’m quitting coffee in that case.
This is far too strongly worded, they’ll just send the watered down letter two years into whatever they’re offended by while calling progressives inflammatory
Because zazu went extinct iirc
0/10 didn’t even get to taste it.
Exactly, they’re trying to get the new generations as interested as the ones on the way out. It’s addictive and now there’s algorithms to make you ‘win’ just enough to stay hooked. That combined with being able to gamble on more than stocks, there’s bound to be a huge shift either direction.
Gayscale* I try not to correct people but you were very close.
Whoa, double matrix! What does it mean??
•And hippies •And folks against the war •And a way to fill for-profit prisons •And a way to control where/how people live •And a way to make cotton plantations make more •And a way to prohibit something since alcohol bans didn’t work out
Oh it definitely does, that was just why I started it.
Finished it out stone cold sober and it was really fantastic.
I was stoned out of my gourd one day after work, and the friend that talked up Steven Universe (warning me not to binge - I did and it shattered me.) said to watch centaurworld. I gave it a chance and have no regrets.
Gritty, heavy, but loving and communicative. Beautiful show.
Hush now, hide, all you little ones Rush now, into the middle of nowhere Singing and laughter will die.
Foamstars…
That tracks, I drive like I’m 85 so I’d just hop in line
Hey Gladys, let me hit your O2
Yeah my home town has a street slated for 25 but if you roll 22 you save gas and coast up as they change and people race to the next one
Drive slower and you only get a couple, in my experience
But yeah, staying on the good side of the road gods is always in your favor.
That’s often because they either dual stream w TikTok or post things to both and saying murder or suicide is a ban
It was vandalized a bit after I left, and associates used to cut people discounts all the time. They paid in others ways, the staff in general started quitting around then too.
