YouTube prankster says he had no idea he was scaring man who shot him
These prank channels should be completely demonetized to remove the incentive of doing stupid shit like this in the first place.

Exemployees of a company, what was your "fuck this shit I'm out moment"?
The company wasted $27 million buying a dumb patent where we wasted even more money trying to make it work. My boss made some reliability studies showing the design sucked but the director heading the project didn't want to hear it. Eventually my boss was let go because of this and I decided to turn in my 2 weeks right after. A few months later the project was canceled and the director fired.

'You can never become a Westerner:' China's top diplomat urges Japan and South Korea to align with Beijing and 'revitalize Asia' | CNN
This is the kind of shit Japan said about its Great East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere when it basically subjugated a lot of its neighbors prior to WWII... I hope history won't repeat itself in such a way.

US Space Force creates 1st unit dedicated to targeting adversary satellites
I really hope they don't act out on blowing up satellites. Kessler Syndrome will ruin any hopes of future space habitation and exploration for generations to come.

I saw an angel casually walk down a street with a human head in his mouth. I'd post the video but, y'know, rule 4.

To rub it in there's all that free parking and just one parked car. I wonder where the hell are employees park their cars to leave all that space for customers.

New Study: 54% of American Adults Read Below 6th Grade-Levels
Reply in thread
This is infuriating. No one should be denied borrowing a book because they're not at their "grade level". That's the kind of shit that contributes to people losing interest in reading from a young age.

Take the route California is taking and educate the kids about worker's rights. Teach them it's not okay to be exploited at the work place and encourage them to tell their parents about it. Civics classes should also be taught to learn how the government works and what people's rights are under the Constitution. Encourage people to unionize now that they know how the system works.
Once the basics have been taught, elect people who care about government reform for social policies by paying for them with higher corporate and personal wealth taxes. Reform the tax system the wealthy have been using to hide their money. All their money is tied up in stocks and they're living off of multimillion dollar loans? Fuck them, tax a big percentage of the loan. All these things can be done to indirectly seize the fruits of their production at least.

Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and generally anyone who wants to convert me to their fucked up religion when they knock on my door. Why should I be civil when they bother me at my house on my time off to dictate what I should believe in? If I'm interested I'd go to them and not the other way around.

I wouldn't mind if they passed the savings on to the consumer... But they won't.

Tankies are such vile people

I have evidence to the contrary. The Revolution had 16 reasonable demands including a reelection of the current government heads, the right for workers to strike, and the freedom of speech. The fact the USSR sent tanks to squash demands for freedom of speech definitely foreshadowed the tactics China would use in the Tiananmen Massacre.

A similar thing just happened at my current hybrid job. My company is owned by a much larger corporation and the only reason it hasn't been fully absorbed is because we're making a lot of money for them. An email was sent out from corporate with the usual RTO talking points (COVID is over, we did great working apart but now we need to all come in to work together because we're better this way) with the due date being early September. Less than an hour went by when a rep from my company sent out a follow up email asking us to ignore the first message because it's only for the parent company. I was halfway done updating my resume when I saw it. I'm guessing there where more than just a few people who sent out some very angry emails to upper management.

'Incorporated' was a tv show with a cyberpunk world from the perspective of a corpo
Yeah this show hit a little close to home. I was working in a biomedical company's HQ that was the size of a small gated village. This place had dozens of buildings, 5 cafeterias, a couple of fancy parks, and even an elementary school/daycare. The daycare is what really freaked me out. I wouldn't be surprised if the kids were being taught to narc on their families through being drip fed pro-corporate propaganda.
It taught me we're not in danger of being in a corporate dystopia because we're already living it.

Meta is bolstering perks like happy hours and company swag as it pushes staff to return to office, despite its 'year of efficiency'

The janitor works for $8/hour out of desperation. The CEO works for $10k/hr out of greed. The difference in pay rates based on position should be regulated. I think a CEO should only be paid at most 10 times more than the lowest paid job in any organization. That way everyone will have some parity and a shot at a decent life even at the low end.
