Is being a sociopath a prerequisite for being the head of a massively successful tech company?

That's not all, folks! 🐷 This shit runs deep, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. I just can't wrap my head around children being brought into these places, trained, and then let loose--and no adult along that chain thinks to themselves that maybe there's a problem with that?!?!?!

From the article: 

  • One 14-year-old was severely injured while cleaning the drumstick packing line belt at the plant in Virginia, the investigation alleged.

  • The agreement stipulates that Fayette will hire a third-party consultant to monitor the company’s compliance with child labor laws for at least three years, as well as to facilitate trainings. The company must also establish a hotline for individuals to report concerns about child labor abuses.

  • The Labor Department’s latest statistics indicate the number of children being employed illegally in the U.S. has increased 88% since 2019.

This is all very performative, slap-on-the-wrist level punishment, and i imagine there are hundreds more children out there still working in shit conditions because nobody will say or do anything about it until more injuries/deaths force them to.

Conservatives have always played "victims", it doesn't surprise me in the least to see them co-opt anti-semitism now. I think they've actually resented Jewish people for having been genuine victims, stealing away that precious attention they wanted for themselves. Now they pretend to have always been besties with the Jewish, and claim anti-semitism is something they stand against in solidarity with the government of Israel (even more shithead conservatives)

The next 1/6 insurrection in 2025 will consist of hundreds of diapered men smearing the walls with shit. That dude that smeared his shit on the wall at the inaugural insurrection of '20 is gonna think he started a 'movement'

frunch ,

It does seem like it could be the name of one of the members of Shobaleader One...

frunch ,

Cope a little harder, gringo

frunch ,

In my younger, more optimistic days. I was naive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

frunch ,

Interesting too how that "cost of doing business" is basically money they don't receive as opposed to money they actually have to pay

frunch ,

because it embarrassed her and she's volatile and awful

When someone like that suddenly takes center stage in conservative politics, you know you're dealing with a uniquely shitty person

frunch ,

Yeah, things have actually gotten quite a bit better over the past 3 years. Much of that was due to the abysmal performance of his predecessor, so even a "just ok" job would have looked like a masterwork.

That said, Biden's def hitting his stride lately 😄

Now you do: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/31/business/in-n-out-burgers-boycott-california-republicans.html

I'm going to watch this show now just so i can see this Russian Pringles guy for myself, lol! Not enough Pringles guys out there these days

frunch ,

Was it worth the wait? I loved the game, and also came to the party years after its release

frunch ,

Hell yeah, that was a terrific sequel!

Don't think I ever actually found the rumored cake..... 🤔

Trump Lawyer Makes Disturbing Immunity Claim Before Supreme Court: Apparently, John Sauer thinks staging a coup should be considered a presidential act ( newrepublic.com )

Donald Trump’s lawyer pushed an outrageous line of thinking on Thursday during oral arguments at the Supreme Court over whether the former president has immunity for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election: that a U.S. president could order a military coup d’état with almost no chance of repercussions. ...

Mind blown 😯

    I mean, they let you count stuff

    frunch ,

    Those 2 look like they need to get a room ಠ_ಠ

    frunch ,

    I hope this goes somewhere, but i won't hold my breath. This company is pure evil, and that's the reason i think it'll survive. They're too useful to the ruling class to destroy

    frunch ,

    To make it look like the protestors are violent. They wouldn't call in those troops if it weren't for those savage antisemitic protestors, right?!?

    frunch ,

    Yes, yes but have you considered
    CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    frunch ,

    I've never witnessed such a staunch proponent of Creative Commons before!

    frunch ,

    Heavy D. It's so refreshing to know he's still being talked about in this modern age

    frunch ,

    I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man...

    frunch ,

    Based on this particular comment chain and your decision to come back and read the article, i decided to read it as well. Very engaging, indeed! Learned quite a bit, def worth the time. I even subscribed to Ed's newsletter, lol

    frunch ,

    Loved glider! I liked that the guitar would strum when you went past it :)

    What a fun game that was!

    frunch ,

    Gotta love an Uber shill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    frunch ,

    Nearly every bully i remember from back in school is a maga chud. Completely unsurprising

    frunch ,

    Makes it easier to forget how bad things have gotten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom ( apnews.com )

    “One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency...

    That's what i was thinking--this is only the beginning of their woes. They committed a crime by having a miscarriage, i imagine this isn't the last we've heard of these stories

    frunch ,

    I still remember Florida having to scramble to get their migrant workers back after shitting on them repeatedly. Now that they have them back they can't resist but to blast those poor workers with more of their dehumanizing legislation

    frunch ,

    I mean, why wouldn't they? They're furries after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    frunch ,

    Wait--i thought this was the work of Democrats. You're telling me Republicans are trying to take away child workers' lunch breaks and pay them less??!?

    That actually makes a lot more sense. The fuckers won't do anything to benefit the common citizen, they're too busy coming up with ways to fuck children and fuck with children's lives (I'm starting to understand their rationale behind the abortion ban, gotta keep the pipeline flowing)

    frunch , (edited )

    Why the fuck are they even trying to pass it though? Shouldn't they be working on something to help people? How is this kind of law benefiting anyone but the employers?

    Just curious: what do you think of this law?

    frunch ,

    I can't see why they wouldn't be

    See how that sentence got that soft landing as opposed to this one that informs you of the nature of the statement it's at the end of? The first one doesn't direct you to get excited or to take the statement as a question, but it also doesn't give the hard ending of a period. It lets the sentence "breathe"

    frunch ,

    Could you elaborate?

    frunch ,

    I wouldn't be surprised if these are the same guys with punisher emblems on the back of their truck along with their blue lives matter flags...or for bonus points, a mashup of those 2 things

    frunch ,

    I think there's a couple things at play:

    • You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely--

    • People often will just use what's there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns... but many people simply aren't and/or don't care enough to do anything about it.

    We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps... I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don't have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).

    I 100% agree with your statements--just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps...

    frunch ,

    I'm beginning to wonder if it ever makes sense ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    frunch ,

    He might just have to consider your offer if he continues to lose big bucks in these lawsuits he's ensconced in

    frunch ,

    That seems to be the life-cycle of social forums online. The successful ones usually seem to have at least a slightly left-leaning user base, which inevitably attracts trolls/right-wingers/supremacists/etc. The trolls don't have much fun talking to each other, as they are insufferable people to begin with. It seems like a natural progression for them to seek out people they disagree with, since they have nothing else/better to do. Gab and the like are just the "safe spaces" they constantly berate everyone else for having (which they hate extra hard since their bullshit isn't accepted in those places)

    frunch ,

    Remember when they destroyed the launch pad because he had a "better" approach to its design?

    I had one of their cassettes back in the day! If i recall correctly, the last track on the album was called "T Time".

    frunch ,

    Oooh oooh do conservatism next!!! It's gotta be something along the lines of "nothing but jacking off, usually in seclusion with other men since 1848" I'm sure you've got something spicier in store though

    frunch ,

    I also enjoy getting some cone crunch from the top half of the treat, that looks really good imo

    I know this image is completely unrelated to the article, it's just that i saw the words golden and axe in such close proximity...i wanted to leave that here in case others were thinking the same

    frunch ,

    I swear his daily calendar consists of delaying trials, tweeting nonsense on his twitter clone, napping, McDonald's™, and golf. Only the most alpha of day-to-day activities 🐺

    frunch ,

    Ah yes, the "activist judges" i always hear conservatives whine about
