the most insulting part of this is 'people' suddenly pretending like we love and always loved the office, when it's been a fundamental symbol of stagnation and boredom and misery in culture ever since they became widespread. NO ONE would voluntary want to spend 5 days in a shitty building after a commute wearing clothes they don't want to with bosses sniffing around their necks all day leaving maybe 4 hrs a day to yourself in your home. 'top talent' or not, everyone deserves to be able to work where they feel most comfortable.

imagine seeing a site like bandcamp and having your goal being to take it over and kick people out. literally so psychopathic yet it's thought of as 'smart business' in our society

awful ethics aside what a disgusting waste of processing power. software already barely runs

drug probe?

Lee has gone through three rounds of police questioning on suspicions of using marijuana and other illegal drugs at the home of a hostess working at a high-end bar in Seoul's Gangnam district on multiple occasions since early this year, including last Saturday, when the questioning lasted for 19 hours.

jesus christ, what a country

reposting one of the worst things i've ever heard someone say:

“There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or AA, or never at all … But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”

eat my ass spez

why do i care what obama feels about either of these

API pricing is such a shitty obnoxious dogshit practice that is now of course becoming standard because of course it is. internet barely costs money come the fuck on make a quality product

It used to be a respected standard for developers and hosts to be somewhat open and friendly to 3rd party devs, because ultimately they're customers and they're helping recruit and retain customers, they should be treated with respect. just because it's innovative and disruptive to invent the machine gun doesn't mean it's good

lmao copyright isn't important

if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we'd be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market

the right wing ethos that boils my blood the quickest is when people drool out shit like 'play stupid games win stupid prizes' under a story about some guy getting brutally beaten by police for being at a protest or stealing a dvd

sorry this is gross:

i do not understand american's aversion to the bidet. why would i want to wipe my ass with dry fucking paper rather than water? why why why. like it's somehow 'gross' to use water. but scraping at wet shit with fucking tissue paper is hygienic and normal?

why do people think it's okay to do this shit? if you're coding facial recognition for a vending machine, that's like 80 steps too far down the capitalism ladder

if you took this machine back to the 1920s and told people what it was doing, they'd shoot at it. and probably you

god this is going to be such a stupid year

why are people still so backwards about this? what's the point? everyone uses caffeine and/or alcohol and that's fine but weed is horrible and bad? just blatantly denying reality

i like how the answers are the exact same generic unhelpful drivel you hear 20k times a month if you're depressed as well. real improvement there. when people google that they want immediate relief, not fucking oh go for a walk every day, no shit. the triviality of the suggestion makes the depression worse because you know it's going to do nothing the first week besides make you feel sweaty and looked at and alone. like if i'm feeling recovered enough to go walk every day then i'm already feeling good enough that i don't need to be googling about depression tips. this shit drives me insane.

i wonder if this is correlated with the loneliness increase / the loneliness gap. if you're a guy, lonely, prone to depression, in a crumbling post-capitalist society that's getting more malignant by the day....how much will to live can you have

why the fuck do we even allow lobbying. bullshit fake gamified system that no proper country should have

it was so cruel working a food service job where every so often they'd do cutesy little promo days or sales days (over dumb completely made up little folk holidays or ad campaign traditions like this); they cook up this sort of faux-positive team-spirit attitude about 'getting thru it' or whatever, like a band of soldiers. and at the end of the day, you're worn out, stressed, you got paid the same shitty wage you got paid yesterday, the company doubled their profits, which all go off to some dickhead in ohio who didn't do shit, but looked forward to today like christmas

and i love how after 2020 now it's just par for the course for restaurants to always be understaffed because it's cheaper. this stupid fucking country is falling apart.

good. software locks are anti human and anti consumer. everyone inherently feels ripped off by them, but the more capitalist minded think 'oh that's the company's right to do'

if it's my property in my house I can fuck with it to do whatever I want

the fact that they actually hit the restart button was so insanely unnecessary and cruel. 60% seems high really

i know she's trying to get charged because that's how these work, but how do you in good conscience do this to her?

i mean i guess anyone working those jobs had their soul removed already anyway
