So I used to live in Atlanta and currently live in a small town undergoing the "standard American model of expansion, post-Robert Moses" -- i.e., the city council keeps building single family home suburbs further and further out, necessitating a neverending cycle of debt

However, somebody on city council must have been paying attention to The Youth Demographic because they are suddenly building nothing but roundabouts instead of traffic lights in this fiscal year's new expansion

(of course they're badly designed because nobody in the US knows shit about roundabouts, including how to make the surrounding area compatible for like pedestrians and such, but it's still cute that someone's trying)

ive never liked the phrase "manmade horrors beyond your comprehension" but i cant think of a better way to describe texas roads

My friends of the internet, does anyone know of a meme of Endeavor from My Hero Academia as the Buldak chicken, advertising spicy ramen? It was original artwork I saw once on social media and never saved. SEO for this concept is a little rough and Google is only getting worse by the day so I thought I'd try here and Reddit

I seek this meme and the original artist; just want to see it again because I love Buldak.

Thank you for reading.

Not sure who needs to hear this but

You are not your job, and your salary is not your worth.

If my friend had a League of Legends MMO of like Iron 4, I would give no shits, because that friend's value cannot be defined by some arbitrary number in a computer somewhere.

So why should I care about how much money they make?

There is a distinct technique used by capitalists to bypass the legal and contractual rights of workers which to my knowledge has no name currently - so I’m giving it one - Lunch Grinding.

Lunch Grinding is a manipulative erosion of worker rights both in and out of the workplace. It bypasses legal and contractual standards through informal social pressures which the bosses cannot be held directly accountable for.

Lunch Grinding is named after one of the most common examples. It begins by asking a few employees to skip lunch in order to finish a project. Workers who are already insecure about their position due to economic anxiety will see this as an opportunity to prove they are a good employee. Those who refuse to do so may receive blame for failing to finish the project on time.

The issue becomes compounded when the bosses begin to purposefully schedule less time to complete the same projects. A distinct class begins to appear ignoring their contractual right to a lunch break - who become hostile to those who refuse to work during lunch for being “lazy” or “the reason we didn’t finish on time.”

At this point the management no longer needs to influence anyone directly to work through lunch break, simply by keeping up the sense of constantly being a little late for the project they have ensured the lunch-grinders will apply pressure to their peers who aren’t working through breaks.

As workplace hostility increases towards the “unproductive” members who are expressing their formal right to a break - they will be replaced with new individuals who may not even realize they have the right to a lunch break because working through the hour has become normalized by their peers.

Thus formal written standards from contracts and legal code become functionally non-existent. After which a new standard will be identified by management for erosion some examples include:

+Accepting uncertain hours. +Working off-the-clock. +Staying “On-Call” at all times. +Finishing projects / responding to emails at home. +Never using time off or sick leave.

All of which are socially conditioned in the same format - starting with “The Good Worker” who does a little favor for their boss - and ending as a peer enforced pressure and a perpetual hostility from management claiming productivity isn’t as high as expected.

So I was watching some videos of business simulator games -- think Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc. -- when something occurred to me;

These games HAVE to all be developed in Europe, right?

Because in all of these business sims, the business owner is responsible for any damages or costs...

If these games were set in the US, you could just write it off on your taxes or put up a disclaimer absolving yourself of responsibility, or something.

The games are all missing a big "declare bankruptcy" button that pushes all your debts onto your creditors, too.

There's only one way this could have turned out funnier, based on picture 3, and I'm a little disappointed but hey take what you can get

Feb 2022: Prime Minister Scott Morrison tries to convince voters he understands the common man by cosplaying as a welder while visiting a workshop.

However he fails to convince voters of his working-class cred after making the baffling decision to remove his mask mid-weld, in order to see better.

After this fiasco, Morrison's government also quietly shelved their plan to allow children to drive forklifts.

You'd think that if airport managers were forced, as they are, to buy ostentatious privacy-pulverizing scanners in order to boost the stock value of the company that manufactures said scanners, that the managers would at least buy more than one of them.

"those kids shouldn't be wasting time trick or treating when they could be working to grow the economy!!"

and this is why when i told some teenagers they could have as much as they want and they took half the bowl i didn't get mad. teens are still kids too and some of them are more childish than others, some of them want to go have fun and get free candy too. i was a trick or treating teen! i was a poor teen that wanted free candy! i really looked forward to trick or treating every year! thankfully i had a young brother to help but my point still stands. if you're giving fucking candy away for free why does it matter if it goes to a 9 year old or a 16 year old?

As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.

Whenever people tell me that I'm being weird or strange I point out that we live in a society where you willingly give at least $500 a month to some guy with no job who happens to have a piece of paper that says he owns your bedroom, and if you don't, YOU get arrested.

The world is strange. We are all just a part of it.
