  It does, and almost feels like there’s a resurgence of it to me. But maybe I’m just seeing it for the first time. Went to a show with Stand Atlantic, Magnolia Park, and The Home Team and they nail that alt rock vibe pretty well while still adding modern touches. And I found that just looking at local shows at moderately sized venues near me.

  As mentioned by another, a lot of it really is compensation. Most jobs won’t pay your missed days for jury service. They can’t fire you, no, but they also dont have to pay you. If you have kids, live paycheck to paycheck, then get a letter from the government saying you will be needed for an unspecified amount of days, possibly weeks, and won’t get paid for it, it doesn’t seem like much of an opportunity. Better have those sick days saved up, cause if not, you may not make rent.

  Luclily they usually pull a large pool of people so that is sometimes not an issue. My last jury summons, I told the judge that I wasn’t paid for being there and the loss of income would cause me financial hardship. “Thank you sir, you’re excused.”

  Employers respect jury service only as far as the law requires them to. They do not respect it enough to make service economically viable for their employees.

  I use it as new Craigslist for scooping up second hand stuff, but that’s about it. I check the market maybe once a week at most.

  I also live in a crime-ridden desert city, so occasionally people post about people scoping out or burglarizing their houses or cars, comes in occasionally useful if there’s repeat offenders to look out for.

  But otherwise it’s the NIMBY cesspit others have described. Occasionally I’ll see a dog get back home because of it, but damn. Every time I see the comments of regular users, all I see is the desperation of Facebook moms mixed with the self-importance of LinkedIn posters

  Ffs one of the few games I was actively but patiently excited for, pretty much down the drain. I can only hope they make their own studio with blackjack and hookers

  Ah that makes sense. I thought maybe the jalapeños were inside or something, but honestly your explanation is more likely and I’m just kind of a dumbass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Polish jalapeño pastry⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not personally familiar with these jokes, but the signage does appear to be Polish or some similar language. This may not have been the intent?

  FYI, a lot of times the gear in the first photo is for the plants’ sake, not the worker. Plant cultivation facilities can be like a house of cards, where one little bit of mold, fungus, etc can ruin an entire harvest. Depends on the plants in question, though

  Understood. Don’t do anything apart from stop him entering the room.

  Catapult vs trebuchet. The extra rotation point makes a world of difference.

  Agree that the benefits dont quite outweigh the space issue though.

  I think they mean that back then, elaborate marketing campaigns (yes, for money) were a bit more commonplace, while today, the fun veneer over the greed has worn thin and most companies scrape by with the widest but shallowest marketing strategies that are even more transparent in their greed. We all know companies want our money, so any time we forget that momentarily is kind of like suspension of disbelief when watching a movie. The bar for the suspension of disbelief in corporate greed is simply getting lower. They realized they don’t need to try that hard to still make money hand over fist. Doing this again would be pretty expensive. You know what’s cheaper? Slapping some canned images and animations over existing logos and stuff.

  It seems stupid to be annoyed by the fact that the ever-hungry jaws of capitalism “aren’t as fun as they used to be” but i think it’s getting upset over the fact that companies think they don’t even need to disguise their avarice to get away with it. And to a growing extent, they’re right. The showmanship being romanticized was meant to dazzle and distract the masses from the uglier parts of business, but now we just accept them instead. There is no shame in greed, no reason to hide malice when it’s an accepted tool of your trade.

  This. I was sure I had mine completely clean 3 times and was pretty resigned to wireless charging only before a hardened sliver of detritus dropped out. Back to working like new.

  Well, I kinda had the impression peristalsis loads the cannon, so to speak, while pneumatics fire it.

  I think the idea is one of them is convincing someone to not do something they still have the power to do, while the other would be taking that power away completely. There may be a truly foolproof way to disarm a weapon, but there will never be a foolproof way to convince someone of anything due to the unpredictability of people.

  Right? Like, we get it. Farms are important. No need to shove it down our throats.

  Nothing in particular, just Disney being Disney. Had the subscription for family, was finally able to cut the cord recently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spent half an hour on it. Felt good.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, I assume nothing. Call me naive, but I’d rather be likely shouting into the void than staying quiet and possibly missing an opportunity to be heard

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spent half an hour on it. Felt good.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s unlikely to have done anything much, but if no one speaks they definitely won’t be heard. At least there’s a small chance for someone to understand the company is shitty. A small grain of doubt can grow into dissent with time. Worth the gamble of a little time to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spent half an hour on it. Felt good.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because I need to at least try to tell them their shitty practices are hitting them in the only place that matters to them: their wallet. I don’t think my little survey will do much in the grand scheme of things, but many small thing make big thing so I do what I can. I made it very clear they’re pushing people back to the high seas
