  • That's about what I expected, but I've been phrophecizing the collapse of the app economy for like a decade at this point and it seems almost too good to be true.

  • In the last drug store I worked in, about 3 years ago, before I quit they went through the makeup department and put hanger locks on every single item in the department. A massive about of extra effort for the already laborious task of stocking that section.

    The result? Makeup continues to get stolen, but now no one buys any either, because the department never gets restocked. It's too time consuming. So the section always looks barren. Everybody just goes to sephora instead.

    I could have told them this, but who would listen to some girl with no business degree to wave around?

  • Can't wait to go there in Hitman 4.

  • The fifteen minute city concept is threatening to the right, so like with so many terms they are diluting their meaning to blunt their effect. They did this with "urban", they are doing it now with the term "woke", it's a linguistic sabotage.

  • I worked in retail for years right up through the pandemic, in grocery and drug stores, and it's really illuminating to experience that environment when you've already been inoculated against these taking points. Because there has been no increase in shoplifting.

    Shoplifting has always been easy and commonplace, it happens every single day and it always has. The only thing that has changed is that people who work these jobs are being fed this narrative of a shoplifting crime wave, and have become more paranoid and hostile as a response.

    In response to this cultural pressure, this propaganda effort to obscure and deflect awareness of drastically plunging buying power and general impoverishment, petty managers seeking a sense of control over perceived attacks on "their stores" (nonsense serf logic) are chaining everything to the floor. And this of course only worsens their declining sales, because why bother even trying to buy something in the store if you're doing to do so legitimately if you have to ask someone to get it for you? You might as well have it delivered tomorrow by Amazon!

  • Alright mates let's see those indents make a rainbow, it's time for another struggle session.

  • Going to encourage you to read something recent: Health Communism, published by Verso and written by the hosts of the podcast Death Panel. It discusses in detail the role which health status certification plays in the bourgeois management and disciplining of the western proletariat, and has the only contemporary account I'm familiar with of the West German Socialist Patients Collective,.

  • On the bus home from work, rattling by the public hospital.

  • Everything Is Normal On Earth

  • He's a hack, doing his job as a hack by saying hack shit. Nothing surprising here.

  • Imagine blaming immigrants for cutting library hours. Imagine believing that shit. This guy thinks everyone in the city is stupid and he's saying it right to your faces.

  • Between this and the fusion power news earlier this year I am fully willing to believe that China is going to end energy scarcity in this century and leave the US in the stone age.

  • Posting from Hannah Montana Linux

  • And brother, I have untreated ADHD. racks slide

  • The pacific coast of the united states is anything but based. Please someone get me out of here, I want to live in a real city.

  • In my state we get mail ballots so if there's anyone worth voting for I'll do it.

    But there usually isn't. Often enough the only tolerable thing is to leave half the ballot blank. I've spent enough time in the consent factory for one lifetime.
