on Pie in the face. · c/lemmyshitpost · 2 pts · 8d

It started conversations, but then they all stopped when arrests were made. Now if more people threw pies all the time, and did so anonymously, and at more targets, we might have a chance to change things. We can't just let one person take a stand and then take the fall while asking if it meant anything. It means something when the example is followed.

I was rather excited when I heard about the reboots. And for the most part, I did enjoy the different takes on things. But I couldn't stand how small they made the galaxy. Few hours to get to Vulcan, a transwarp system that sent a man to Klingon space in a matter of days. No scale at all. But it took me years to watch the third one, and didn't like it at all.

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.

I 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.

The 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.

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.
