Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The layout of these floor tiles.English
21·8 days agoIt can also be the same reason the carpet patterns in casinos is a bit off, designed to irritate slightly so your head stays up and you focus on the stores more.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) bought and owns the megayachts company OceancoEnglish
1313·11 days agoI have seen plenty of comments here trying to make Gabe out to be an ultra bad capitalist evil villain because he owns this company that, as far as I’m aware, pays it’s employees. And most of those arguments are around the fact that it’s a mega yacht company. All sounding like people shouldn’t have unnecessary luxuries. If we went down that route, nobody needs video games, nobody needs music recordings, movies or tv shows, nobody needs clothing that expresses themselves, we all should only have the basic necessary tools of work and the most utilitarian of clothing and homes. Food only to sustain, not enjoy. Tell me I’m wrong.
I won’t disagree that some people don’t need mega yachts, but I feel that having this company, maybe he could work on building better floating housing systems. Or maybe he is employing people and giving them good paychecks for working on these yachts.
I feel like I’m alone with this one, but if you have options, swallow your pride and take them. It’s a paycheck, and can always lead to something better. I took a paycheck job at a retail store and I’m on the management team. Is it something to brag about? God no, it sucks. But my bills are paid and I can advance.
Is it me, or can anybody else tell from the tone where the guy was jerking while writing the review?
The shot in the car is top tier.

4·2 months agoI have ADHD. In most of my formative years, I was on Ritalin and it wrecked my mental health. In high school, I pulled myself off it and my school grades tanked. I regret not finding an alternative other than “Caffeine makes me think somewhat right.”

Work Reform@lemmy.world•Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?
4·2 months agoSo I really have to wonder if the insurance required to run these places is over-priced as well.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Any dead franchises that can survive being rebooted?

6·3 months agoThe problem with the reboot wasn’t that it was bad or didn’t follow storylines, was that it was made for a different audience than the original show and/or comics and then forgot to tell that old audience. Watching it from the outside, it was hilarious and well written.
In Time. I love that movie.
I have a vim setup with plenty of plugins that honestly, I don’t know if I need anymore.
Creamed corn. Disgusting to eat on its own, but I’ll use it in my corn chowder.
In other words, management knows your job is bullshit and that is the exact reason for your job.

16·3 months agoAfter reading what I wrote, I do admit I wasn’t saying the exact question I get annoyed with. It’s when I am asked what brought me to apply specifically to that company. And it’s rather difficult to come up with a better answer than the truth of I have 40 applications this week alone, you were one of them.











For me, it doesn’t matter the office plan as long as I’m not working for Private Equity owned retail for less than peanuts.
