- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 23 hours ago:
I worked with an accountant for years and he got his ass bit by some asshole who left him a negative, and false, review.
He added a clause on renewal contracts with new language saying you won’t leave a negative review and to arbitration.
I told him I’m not signing this. I never leave reviews and I understand he’s trying to mitigate his losses and force arbitration but I told him that it wasn’t going to work.

Ew. Unless your bachelor’s is from a for-profit university, that’s not going to set you back.
Best I can do is for you to LARP as a 2A activist. No pay but you get to feel like you’re one of the special ones. At least until we don’t need you anymore.

Yeah, but, hear me out…what if I told you you’re now allowed to be openly racist?
And openly transphobic? Would that sweeten the pot?
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 5 days ago:
Which is why I think the next big step is a blogsite that actually covers these without feeling like you are just reading a guy’s wank diary
There is a site that I frequent but due to this community’s instance rules, I won’t post it here.
The site is more of a forum/community than a blog but it’s pretty good.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 5 days ago:
The biggest issue with adult content in games is that it limits your market to adults that want that content. Which is already small to begin with. And you often can’t advertise the same way, which limits your audience further. You only find out about them through word of mouth or through places like Lemmy.
From the standpoint of the developer, your ROI is likely to be very small. I think that’s why VN are the most popular form of adult games, since they are easier to make than full games.

We need something similar to the good Samaritan law but for digital access.
- Comment on It's true. 1 week ago:
It’s not that people hate facts and science.
They hate facts and science that disagrees with their pre established beliefs.
They will happy spout whatever half truths that support their arguments but they will firmly reject anything that doesn’t.

I’d think it’d be more ethical to do the exact opposite.

Oh no. We’re going to get Vibe Clocks aren’t we? AI is just going to spit out times and it’s on you to check to make sure it’s correct.
- Comment on Air Canada flight attendants to defy back-to-work order and remain on strike 2 weeks ago:
But they literally can’t. Have you seen the average person try to put their suitcase in the overhead bin? Completely ignoring the sign that is plastered on the door and the back to put it on its side?
Have you seen the average person try to find their seat, swearing up and down that they purchased extra leg room only to be really seated next to the lavatory?
The plane would never take off.
Flight crew should be paid the moment they cross security. At that point they’ve badged in and they should be considered to be at work.
- Comment on Two weeks notice 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the company. I’ve worked for companies that have a policy that you must give two weeks notice or you cannot be hired back.
We need fucking unions everywhere.

- Comment on Bet you don't remember this 2 weeks ago:
I know certain roles can be embarrassing for an actor but come on man! You have a job and you did a job. Yeah it’s not great but if you laugh about it, people will respect you much more than if you shun it.
Everyone pays their dues.

- Comment on It Looks Like a School Bathroom Smoke Detector. A Teen Hacker Showed It Could Be an Audio Bug 3 weeks ago:
There’s a way to detect when students yell “help” or “call 911” from the bathroom that doesn’t require any technology.
You have a staff member within earshot of the bathroom.
- Comment on Change your profile picture to clippy. I'm serious 3 weeks ago:
But its persistence is a characteristic of today: Installed and enabled by default, providing little to no value while insisting to be used until you removed or disabled it.
Sure it didn’t scape your data and sell it but if they had the ability to, I guarantee they would have.
- Comment on THIS is always the correct response 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, this is the best response. If you’re out dating to find a partner, it doesn’t make sense to stay friends with someone you were interested in, unless you have other interests.
- Comment on stupid sexy apples 3 weeks ago:
You might have a superpower.
A LOT of honey in grocery stores are actually syrup but due to capitalism, there really is no real way to tell for sure.
If you are allergic, but won’t die, from having honey, you might be able to make a guide for those of us that actually want real honey but have trouble trusting asshole companies.
- Comment on Charging to tour rental properties... 3 weeks ago:
Create a trust instead.
Contact an attorney to draft a trust where you all share equity at an amount you all agree to. The terms of the trust should indicate how someone sells their interest and what happens upon default, etc.
The trust buys the property and owns it. Ownership is managed through the trust.
The hardest part is qualifying for a loan. You’re essentially operating as a business and most home loans are designed for people and couples.

- Comment on When will we have reached enough productivity? 5 weeks ago:
I’m agree with the consequence but not the cause. Jack Welsh figured out the cheat code to increase short term stock prices by laying off people, regardless of their actual role or value to the company.
Since then, every company has done it whenever they need a quick boost in numbers.
- Comment on LinkedIn Banned A Trans Woman For Using Her Preferred Name 5 weeks ago:
I absolutely cannot stand the fact that I have to be on LinkedIn to find a job.
It’s so shitty.
Our hiring process is so fucking broken but we live with it because we don’t care to make it better.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 1 month ago:
Oddly no but I suspect that it’s either due to them not caring enough for one person doing this or them thinking their T&Cs will prevail in court.
For me, I don’t see a loss. Either my contract doesn’t hold up, which means that I only lose time and money or it does hold up in which case I lose time and they (and every other company that has clauses where you accept terms by continuing services) loses their contract terms.
If it ever came to it, I would bet the company would choose to settle rather than risk a president being set.
- Comment on I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product.. 1 month ago:
Shit like this is rarely enforceable but in order to find out, you need to have money.
What I like to do is clap back and send them my own terms and conditions, with the stipulation that if they don’t write back, then they are accepting them.
