I worked at McDonald's to be able to afford to go to college and they sold my fingerprint data. I got like 50 dollars in the mail for compensation. Always thought that was fucked. They probably made more selling it all than the settlement was. I should've gotten a lot

At least it wasn't in the US. Calling the police on someone for anything has a non zero chance of just getting them straight up murdered. So i was happy to see it was in NZ lol

Why not both haha. But yes I agree. 2k people killing themselves off this since it's open is insane

Damn I wish trees and plants already did this. 900 houses < a forest

I like how my social security card explicitly says not to be for identification and tax purposes only. But I need for absolutely fucking everything and to identify I'm a citizen. Can hardly sign up for a new email without a SSN. (Exaggerating of course about the email)

I feel happy when someone in this position can say this instead of the ol' "I did it so you should suffer too" to type logic haha

Most people can't handle nuance so for many issues are either black or white

Damn. We gonna need a lot more nets then

Holy hell. The small amount of screen I could actually see on that article that wasn't ads. Article websites are getting so horrid. The bottom was a super huge banner the top was a video ad playing.

Cult of the Lamb is fun tho

Oh man this sucks. Hopefully it doesn't deter people from here. I was excited it might be a cool place to use if more users and they actually stay

It's been getting worse and worse for me too. Even things that I used to Google that would just come up so I could find it aren't anymore.

The YouTube search must have had an update because now it's entirely fucking worthless too even for searching only within itself. It'll show two relevant results and the rest just garbage.

Oh man I did this and thought I caught the mother load. Me and my friends labored so hard to pull it up onto the end of the pier. It was so heavy. Ended up being a park bench lol

Sounds accurate. My mom has been having that volume of beer for dinner for years

This video is really hilarious. Idk if it's the same bridge or not. Also I know people on Lemmy don't like links to YouTube but I don't know how to do the thing.

I need people to submit more of the research papers that I need to be able to read to lib Gen or sci hub

I don't know how they think I could afford subscriptions for every object in my life. There's no way

I hate the word blasts in this context. IDK why it bothers me so much

I agree with this entirely. Of course there are corporations responsible for way more than myself. But using it as a means to justify myself doing nothing to reduce my own consumption is just backwards and stupid. It's comparing a bad thing to another really bad thing but they're both still bad things. Should they stop doing what they're doing to contribute to this, yes. Should I also? Also yes lol. Plus like your comment said. These companies are driven by our own demand. It's our fault for supporting and relying on the way things are for sure.

This is interesting. In my town there are stickers on the gas pumps of Joe Bidens face and they say "I did this". So I figured it was his fault /s

All of my bosses that make 5x my salary are masters of one. They are so extremely good at what they do but absolutely nothing else, to a crazy extent. I feel like I'm good at a lot of things but it's not as lucrative to be this way :/

One thing I never understand is that all I ever hear about from Republicans is how old Biden is. While being true and not that I necessarily like Biden no one ever talks about how Trump is only three years younger. Biden has to answer for his age all the time but it's not a thing Trump typically deals with

I have relatives that I shit you not fear this and believe it is 100% real. It's so extremely fucking stupid

From my point of view this is true. Except for the world slowly becoming physically unlivable to our species this is a phenomenon while not entirely new, true, has ramped up faster than ever before

This is pretty accurate. For my current field I'm tethered to just a handful of locations in the country I could work at. This sounds like it will describe my situation in a decade or two as long as they don't get rid of me before

You're right that no one would think they were real. When i worked at McDonald's the bastards would pay this at the back window and try and zoom forward and get their food from the next window before the confused money taker could let the person handing out the food know lol

Not that anyone thought it was real though. You're definitely still correct

I was wanting to move to Missouri so my commute to work wouldn't be as long as it is but every time I hear something of the states politics recently it's something horrible

I agree with this. For some reason I am pretty personal about what I'm listening to as well. Mostly if I know the person asking me won't/doesn't like it I just don't care for them to comment that they don't like it or think it's weird what I'm listening to. Idk

I'm thinking of a way to test this 🤔. 2 test subjects. Each time one person eats something from McDonald's the other gets KO'D from a blow to the head. Someone should drop relatively quickly haha.

I know that the other things you mention are bad too and I agree. But they can all be bad in their own right. I definitely don't think fast food and micro plastics are healthy but just because they're not doesn't negate how bad blunt force head trauma is as well.

Weirdly enough I've had two in my life and one currently. It's definitely hard to approximate how their personality is as dog or cat. Cat is most similar of the two but really they're a unique really weird thing lol. Mostly like a weird funny ferret haha

I've got a 2010 Ford focus with 320,000+ miles on it 😬 so maybe they're good too

May I interest you in this chair instead

Tell me about your favorite dwarf

Got a new nano tank (aquarium) with co2 injection. I want it to look really nice and raise potential baby fish.

All of my spring flowers have started to come up twice with months in between then it gets cold again immediately and they die :(

Oof

"We're sowwy 👉👈😔" oh my God just fuck off and forgiveness doesn't always deserve given. Just do better. Apologizing doesn't wipe anything away. Just stop letting this shit happen all the time and knowing/thinking people will just half forget about it

I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh

I can't snap very well. Or whistle

Well. Realistically it's always generating getting rid of and regenerating sperm. Ejaculate material doesn't stay good and is passed in the urine normally. Not saying that being completely drained 24/7 couldn't be stressful to the organ though

This is my thinking. I guess it's good the economy is good but prices of housing and food are skyrocketing for me so I don't feel it lol
