Get Reddit malice. Go.

Get Google malice. Go.

Cool.

Do it with Murdoch owned news outlets.

Covid happened and gave me work from home.

The order to return to office happened and I said no.

In the back and forth, I defined my official schedule as 9 to 5.

Now, typically I work late a night or 2 a week so I start work a couple hours late/stop work a couple hours early a night or 2 a week.

Took the words out of my mouth.

If you wanna get all brutal and how it is in America about it, I am thinking more about giving the kids a chance to say good bye than actually getting help.

We have established that noone who could actually do something about it cares about all of the kids getting murdered in America schools.

Edit: And remember. While Uvalde cops sat outside and wet their pampers, a mother overpowered them to get children evacuated. A mother who was… notified by their child with a cell phone… and later faced criminal charges for it.

What phone doesn’t have internet anymore?

Edit: Wait, I get it. So now kids have their at home phone AND their parents also pay for their “you’re at school so this is how you get us your last words in the event of a shooting” phone.

Again, genius.

Parents needing to pay MORE money they don’t have and kids have ANOTHER reminder of how their job is basically to obey AND very possibly be killed while obeying.

So much better of a solution instead of MOTHER FUCKING GUN CONTROL.

Take away kids ability to communicate with family and law enforcement when they get shot up.

Genius idea.

And there is my tidbit about blowing up Palestinians instead of ensuring Americans have potable water.

Here’s my half baked response.

They can pipeline oil over thousands of miles.

Why can’t they pipeline water?

Oh shit. I think Nestlé heard me and all of our money goes to blowing up Palestinians, not giving drinkable water to Flint.

Disregard please.

My memory is I checked with no intention to actually file, first job lost and all, and Arizona + part time = no unemployment.

Gotta be over 40 a week to qualify.

My first breaking point was the millionth time I was in the printer aisle before open on a Saturday with a manager laying into me for a half hour about how to “squeeze the last of the juice” out of people, and they dropped the “tell them you are an un-comissioned salesperson so you have no reason to take advantage of them, it disarms them, makes them trust you, you can load anything into their cart after you make them believe that” and I had a moment of clarity, and instead of going “Uh huh. Yes sir” I thought “No. I am an un-comissioned salesperson so I have no reason to take advantage of them. End of sentence.”

Genuinely, Best Buy is one of the worst companies on planet earth.

Yup.

I was 17, I was about to graduate high school so it was part time. I was the most reliable department associate, but one of the “weaker” salesmen.

The department was spotless when I was there and the phone always got answered, and I made sure to bag 3 or 4 big sales a week, but I wasn’t out to bleed every poor soul who walked into the department dry. I was more about good service and finding the right solution for each person.

So I got an average of 32 hours a week, well over all the other people in the department, but I was definitely on my way out, and that raging hemorrhoid of a waste of air reaming me out over helping an 80 year old woman who literally showed me her social security check, but assured me she had friends she could get to invite her over for dinner if the computer was too expensive pushed me out.

Its not even like if they fired me I would have gotten unemployment. It was just a petty move from a coward with a micro-peen who couldn’t handle a 17 year old telling them they were a 45 year old failure at life working in a Best Buy for just over minimum wage taking advantage of nice elderly ladies.

Yup.

I was in the computer sales department.

We were flat out told what the lies were, and how to make them more convincing.

The service contracts were non-refundable, so it didn’t matter.

When a manager caught me helping a retiree get a cheap setup to email her grandkids instead of getting them on a line of credit for a top of the line gaming pc, they didn’t even fire me. They just stopped scheduling me hours and told me to keep coming in to get my schedule.

Picked up a blank schedule for 5 weeks before I stopped going in and I’m sure they filed no call no show paperwork when I didn’t show up for my 1 hour 3 weeks later.

Fuck best buy.

Ya.

I worked there when they launched a membership thing, and it was points to gift cards that got printed on receipt paper in hopes the barcode on the carbon paper would fade before you tried to scan it, not any actual price reduction.

Kind of like how there was all that fine print in the 200 dollar service plan that made it sound like you got more, but it was always just the manufacturer warantee, so if your device qualified for manufacturer warentee, geek squad would give you the cheap out fix, and get the preemo replacements and put them into stock. If the manufacturer warantee didn’t cover it, you were fucked.

So you are confirming that, you sir, are the outsider trying to influence American politics… by accusing other people of being outsiders influencing American politics.

Sounds very Blue MAGA.

Found the Blue MAGA.

The irony of claiming burden of proof on a post about proof being suppressed.

My hunch is the billions of dollars we have recently siphoned into a cyber warfare branch of the military, Project 2025, which is advancing almost identically to how The Plan for the New American Century progressed 20 years ago, and a President who is in bed with a war criminal fugitive. Oh, and they also recently started one of the largest censorship campaigns in decades Ala “STOP FREELY SHARING INFORMATION ON TIK TOK! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FILTER RAW INFORMATION OUT AND PROPAGANDA IN VIA MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS AND ISP THROTTLES THAT WE CONTROL!!@!@”

The 100% part was hyperbole, but America is the one doing everything in it’s power to spark WWIII, and the one that benefits most from scrubbing recent history.

I didn’t know know you could see who voted on kbin.

I just knew lemmy, mbin, and some others don’t get counted, so the troll down boats don’t matter.
