Turns out, people who hate illegals are idiots.

So what? Still proves that your comparison to tornado drills is, well, utterly ridiculous and without merit…

Most of the time, the fare thru collect is nowhere near enough to pay for the service they offer. However, partially because is capitalism, they can’t give the service to for free because, well, reasons.

The fare is useful to track how many ride different lines at different times of day stuff like that. Plus, it gives a way to count how many people use the service for the purpose of getting grants and whatnot - which is what actually funds the bus service.

So, if the driver is in a hurry for any reason, he’ll often give you a free ride…cause actually paying the fare is, well, kinda for appearances, really…

Seriously?? Protecting themselves from any consequences will mean they act in your best interest???

Hey, wanna buy some lakefront property? It’s on the moon, but still… 🤣

Your couldn’t throw us a bone by including a link? 😉

That’s okay, I got you covered.

And that’s actually not relevant, but thanks.

No. Read it again. I never said allegation. I never referenced court proceedings. I said the act of rape is indefensible.

If you commit rape, there is no “decent” defense. If you didn’t, then my comment doesn’t apply. Simple as that.

There is no excuse for sexual violence, and there never will be.

Your reply is completely unrelated to what I said. There is no such thing as a decent defense for raping someone. If they didn’t rape anyone, good! If they did, that is an indefensible act by its very nature.

I made no comment at all on whether or not any specific individual is guilty or not. So I’m really confused what your point is here…?

Your choice of words was absolutely terrible. There is no such thing as a decent defense of rape. Now, an effective defense in our busted legal system? That’s a whole different story. But “decent” does not apply in cases of sexual assault and violence. Ever.

I’ve always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It’s kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there’s not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It’s hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don’t know anything anyway! :-p

I’m a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn’t this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I’m misunderstanding your argument…?

Honestly such a weak argument. Having helped my uncircumcised son learn to keep himself clean, I can probably say this myth needs to be laid to rest already. It’s just not true.

If you really need a whole lemmy community dedicated to just you, by all means, feel free to create it. 8-D

I suspect the movie would likely make a profit, bit not enough of one. They’d rather take the loss to “play it safe” and not scare away institutional investors. Or something stupid like that.

I know it’s not what you asked, but check out So Low lotion for men by Hello Cake. :-D

Last I checked, by law you are supposed to receive pay for any actions taken on site that are directly work related. Which includes getting into uniform. So that dude’s reasoning was bunk anyway.

The laws are against the employee when it comes to salaried positions. Most jobs that pay a salary are exempt from overtime; only certain types of jobs qualify. However, due to lack of awareness, not paying overtime to a salaried employee who actually qualifies is probably a very common form of wage theft.

Btw, I’ve never heard wage theft used to refer to employees misreporting their hours. I’m not sure that’s a common usage of the term (kinda think it’s not).

In summary, the corporate bean counters don’t want to give up control over your device. That’s really all it boils down to. They’re not doing anyone any favors, that’s for sure. It’s pure greed

An employee probably dropped or otherwise damaged one or more from a multi-pack. Rather than mark off a whole six pack, they’ll write off just the damaged ones and sell the rest individually. This is also why there’s no label on the shelf.
