SkyezOpen , (edited ) to Personal Finance in Multi-level marketing model

This was early on in our convos. I could've opened a little softer but I took a more probing stance after.

folded because huge

SkyezOpen , to Personal Finance in Multi-level marketing model

It really is hard. A guy I used to work with is in one DEEP. He hits up former coworkers and even their friends on Facebook trying to lure them in. I had a few conversations and genuinely tried to reach him but it's just impossible. It eventually came to the point that, when he was talking about all the money he made (2k in a few hours work (this one time)), I told him to send his 1099 and if it beat my W-2 I would join him.

Spoiler alert: he never sent it.

SkyezOpen , to Work Reform in Waffle House Is Taking Heat For An 'Especially Alarming' Paycheck Policy

Fuck me they own Purina, which is fantastic pet food. And stouffer’s, which is terrible but delicious and fast human food.

Welp, I’ll forego the frozens but my cats are more important than my morals.

Ethical consumption is basically impossible, you gotta draw what lines you can.

Though I do need to refresh my memory of what nestle owns, because fuck them in particular.

Well I haven’t heard about the Kelloggs thing. Everyone heard about the bud light thing. For months.

I’m not entirely convinced. The bud light bullshit was MASSIVE and their stock only took a tiny hit, and that was a right wing thing which means the participation percentage was massive.

SkyezOpen , to Texas in Texas can require age-verification on porn sites, 5th Circuit judges rule

The hub will. States that require ID get a page telling people that their politicians are idiots, but in more eloquent words.

Starlings are invasive but I still love their little weeews

SkyezOpen , to Star Trek in If the kids didn't mutiny, would Picard have been killed when the turbolift fell?

The expanse really nailed the whole gravity thing. The explanation was entirely within the realm of science, and the low/zero g scenes looked amazing.

SkyezOpen , to Work Reform in Starbucks told to reopen stores Labor board finds were closed over union organizing

They also are forced to recognize and negotiate with the union under the new NLRB rules, so that’s a win too.

SkyezOpen , to Politics in "I call for help from the highest courts": Trump cries out in fear of “Trump-hating" prosecutor

They’re keeping up a veneer of impartiality until the correct fake cases get to them so they can legislate how they want to. Trump was just the means to stack the court, they have their own role to play and saving trump isn’t part of it.

SkyezOpen , to Men's Liberation in Where did the construction workers go?

If a union boss gets a shitload of money to make sure their workers get fair wages, fine by me.

reducing profits a bit

This man wants shareholders to starve! How can you provide for your family if you can only afford a 60’ yacht instead of 70’??

SkyezOpen , to Politics in He Voted to Ban 'Abortion Trafficking' -- But Doesn't 'Know Why It Was Necessary'

At least we know Texans understand that language.

SkyezOpen , to Politics in Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump

This is why I, at the time, was sort of happy that trump won. I hoped that dems losing what they thought was a sure win to an assclown like trump would make them shape up and put forward some actual candidates that the people could truly get behind. Instead they doubled down with milquetoast shitlibs. We’re never going to get out of this rut of voting for the lesser evil without ranked choice voting.
