dont show this to george rr martin lol

oh, and im zhzhzh

i can’t wait to start writing grants actually! it seems like it would be a nice break from the overwhelming amount of technical writing. im a sucker for academia and im happy i signed myself up for another 5 years of it

Mao: peasants dont have to pay rent anymore

me, an intellectual: nooo, i cant foresee a world where my wages arent siphoned by a passive landowner!

bad article written by inept radlib PMC karen. this reads like it could have been written by any short-fused, airheaded american who yells at the self-checkout attendant bc they dont understand technology. they blame the machine or the employees for something 90%+ of the customers are able to figure out. this vocal minority of abusive customers should be shot and their small businesses should be redistributed to their employees who also suffer their entitled tantrums

the real reason this article was written is this line:

retailers utilising self-checkout technology have loss rates more than twice the industry average

its easier to steal when using these machines. and even tho retailers are probably saving money by hiring less employees despite increased shrinkage, they hate that people are getting stuff for free. they hate that app slaves and other downtrodden workers can get their ketchup for free instead of working 15 minutes to be able to afford sugared tomato paste.

these machines are easy to use. nobody but the most inept (who are also wealthy and have a sociopathic sense of entitlement) complain abt this. and dont try to claim its harder for ppl with disabilities, bc its not. its easier for ppl w disabilities bc there are less ppl in the cashier lines

you get shorter lines with self-checkout. 2 cashiers can checkout 2 people at a time, while 2 self-checkout attendants can oversee a dozen checkout stations

it would be a net positive for the fediverse if beehaw left

mothman bc he looks cool and one of the west virginia ones has to be real since they have so many

lol at least they’re honest

lol its this shit every time libs see a legitimate left stance. im assuming you’ve seen the sh.itjust.works defed post. its like 5 super vocal users having a conniption fit that there are communists on the internet
