The "big bad" of the anime series Vision of Escaflowne, Emperor Dornkirk is the power-mad ruler of the industrial dystopia known as Zaibach. He aims to control and alter the destiny of his plant and other worlds. Personally, he reminds me of a levelled-up Elon Musk who seeks to enslave everyone in his giant Amazon warehouse. 
This is my original Picmix character portrait using animation stills from the anime and graphics from Picmix’s website.

I somehow got a Korean release Ladybug??
Tumblr media
So, I purchased the "Time to De-Evilize" Ladybug doll (the one with the extra black parts on her suit) off of Amazon for $19. It was an Amazon Warehouse listing, and was listed as "Used - Like New". The description said it was new in package, but the package was damaged.
Well, she arrived yesterday. I didn't get the doll I ordered, but I got something even better! It's the standard Ladybug doll, but she's the Korean release. Not just that, she's an early one, too! She has red ribbons tied onto her pigtails, and black spots on her shoes. These details were removed a few months after release.
Tumblr media
The back of her box is pretty close to the English and Bilingual boxes, with a few differences. The bottom of the box has a white bar that I can't translate. The website and social media links are different. I think Sonokong is the distributor of the dolls in Korea?
Tumblr media
I think she's got a very sweet face.
I've already opened her, and plan on taking photos soon, as well as comparing her to my U.S. Ladybug!

Christmas 2022 Special: December 25th: We Die Free Men
After centuries of being Santa’s slaves, his elves revolt. Their slave master can turn his forearms to or from arm cannons that can also be used as slashing or stabbing weapons. His whole body has an exoskeleton that looks and acts like powered armor.
Santa is evil in this and his workshop might as well be an Amazon warehouse (or Omozan warehouse as it would be called in-universe).
Since workers’ unions are to be killed on sight, this naturally means that some elves attempt a violent revolt.
Yes, Koglaxon is Santa.

I felt I had to spread the word. This is within the norm of being in an Amazon warehouse. These facilities are several football fields long and its workers are treated like robots with infinite stamina. They are timed by the seconds and their steps are counted, with little to no room for bathroom breaks or a moment's time for washing hands. Warehouses like Amazon's in general often treat their employees like expendable slave laborers, one of which had an incident where a pregnant woman complained about discomfort from working and everybody was forced to work around her as her collapsed, motionless body laid in the middle of the floor, and a botched internal 'investigation' was conducted, assuming there was one as that particular company later claimed there was no written report when one was asked for as it was 'given to them verbally', at the same time a Tweet by an employee was out.
Amazon is horrible, and the best way to save the employees is to stop looking at the convenience of quick shipping times and start being more tolerant and patient by not ordering off of Amazon anymore. It should be simple and will take little willpower. I already started shopping elsewhere some years ago.

Has anyone had any positive experiences purchasing dolls from Amazon Warehouse listed as "Used - Like New"? I just bought a doll from it, and while I'm excited for her to arrive, I'm a bit nervous.

hey bam! I’m sorry if this has already been asked, but would you ever ship the Monty pins outside of the US?
Probably not, since the cost of shipping through international customs costs more than what the pin order cost itself. I could see it if was apart of a larger order, but customs and cost of shipping is too expensive alone.
For example: the shipping cost for a single bubble mailer from USA to UK would cost between $22-$28 USD, NOT including the cost of the pin itself.

just saw someone say 'we're living in the golden age of dying for your boss' on a post about california shortening the covid isolation period to 1 day to minimize disruptions to work/school and i totally understand the sentiment. but also. an insanely objectively not true statement if you're looking at A Lot Of Pretty Significant Industries

Two Democratic U.S. senators announced Thursday they plan to introduce a piece of legislation that would require large companies to disclose quota practices to workers and prevent those quotas from interfering with a worker’s health.
“The Warehouse Worker Protection Act would put an end to the most dangerous quotas that plague warehouses,” Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, a sponsor of the bill, said.
There is no published bill text yet.
Markey said the bill would require companies to notify workers of the quotas they need to meet and ban quotas that rely on 24/7 surveillance or are likely to lead to violations of health and safety laws. He added that companies that don’t comply would be investigated by the Department of Labor and could face fines and penalties.
INJURIES AT AMAZON
Markey was joined outside the U.S. Capitol by workers who shared their stories of being injured on the job at Amazon warehouses, along with Democratic Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith and Sean O’Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Smith said that big companies like Amazon care about “efficiency and cost savings and maximizing their profits.”
“They’re experiencing record profits at the same time that the people whose labor they are earning profits on the backs (of), are experiencing completely unacceptable levels of injuries,” she said.
The speakers singled out Amazon for quota practices that endanger workers, though Markey said the Seattle-based e-retail giant is not the only company that engages in a quota system that harms workers.
“Amazon may be at the front of the pack with an injury rate double the national average, but the rest of the big warehousing companies are close behind,” he said.
Some of Amazon’s quota practices include constant monitoring to measure how many items a worker scans, with automatic flags for workers below a certain percentile, and monitoring how long employees take on bathroom breaks and other “time off task,” according to a Thursday report by the National Employment Law Project.
The Amazon warehouse injury rate is “twice that of the private-sector average for all industries and tens of thousands of warehouse workers each year experience serious injuries requiring medical treatment,” according to the report.
O’Brien said that Amazon’s business model “pushes workers to the brink and creates a culture of fear.”
“Warehouses can be very dangerous places to work if safety isn’t made a priority,” he said.
Wendy Taylor, an Amazon worker in Missouri who is organizing for a union, was injured at work in March.
“I was injured at work because of Amazon’s inhumane work rates, because of the exhausting pace in the physical work me and my coworkers do,” she said.
Taylor said she fell and hurt her knee, but when she went to the company medical center, she said “they (refused) to let me see a doctor when I asked, sending me back to work.”
She eventually went to her own doctor, who diagnosed her with a torn meniscus in her knee.
“This experience (shows) how hard it is to get timely, adequate medical treatment from a company that breaks down my body and speeds up my aging for shareholder profits,” she said.
In a written statement, a spokesperson for Amazon pushed back against some of the comments from senators, including claims that workers lack adequate bathroom breaks and see fixed performance quotas.
“It’s a common misperception that Amazon has fixed quotas, but we do not,” the spokesperson said. “Our Time Logged In policy assesses whether employees are actually working while they’re logged in at their station. Our employees can see their own performance at any time and can talk to their manager if they’re having trouble finding the information.”
The spokesperson also said claims that the injury rate at Amazon is double the industry standard are misleading.
“Many large companies that should be included in these comparisons—companies like Walmart, Target and Costco—report almost all of their injuries under different OSHA reporting categories,” the spokesperson said.
Brian Wild, a spokesperson for the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, said in a statement that the industry group does not support the bill, arguing that it could lead to delays and price hikes.
“The bill includes provisions that inappropriately tip the scales to union bosses at the expense of employees and employers by inviting labor organizations to participate in investigations, essentially granting union leaders access to potentially coerce or harass worksites under the guise of ‘worker safety,’” Wild said.
SEEKING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
Markey said there is bipartisan support in the Senate for the bill, as well as the House.
“We just want to build this out,” Markey said. “It should not be a Democrat or Republican thing, it’s a worker safety bill.”
A warehouse protection law went into effect in Minnesota last year, but advocates have raised concerns that Amazon is not complying with the law.
Several other states, including California, New York, Oregon and Washington, have passed legislation similar to what Markey and Smith are proposing.

The thing is every bit of suspicion and discrimination that Murderbot faces from random humans who don’t know it makes total sense if you approach it from the perspective that humans in universe feel the same way about SecUnits as I would feel about Amazon Alexa if it had a gun
