  • I’ve been online before the internet existed

    What does this statement mean to you?

    Sounds like you were involved with the tail end of Usenet but I wasn’t referring to Usenet.

    Incel didn’t become what means today until sometime after 2000 when 4chan and Reddit arrived on the scene. That was the beginning of the end of the period I am talking about.


  • You seem to be taking my comment as an attack or rebuttal on what you’re saying by cherry picking a specific phrase. It’s weird and reactionary.

    My comment is attempting to expand on what you’re are saying by pointing out that those are examples of a problem that is systemic. I am expanding upon the layers involved.

    It’s not just Little Caesar bad, it’s also their thousand franchises. It’s a massive problem to keep in check a business model that attracts rent seekers.

    At this point the assumption must be that all franchises are committing wage theft and exploiting child labor.

    As far as I’m concerned, the only acceptable response is to end the corporate entities that engage in this behavior and criminally charge everyone in the chain. This includes the overseer corporations, if they can control the pepperonis involved in the product they can sure as hell control the treatment of the humans involved.


  • Yep. Not my first experience with it here or elsewhere.

    I miss the internet that existed before smart phones because of the intellectual dilution they allowed.

    Kids today have no idea what it’s like to be in an internet discussion that is majority phds and having to up your game to participate.

    The vast majority of commenters today would be dismissed as trolls; that bar has disappeared.

    At what point did I say it did?

    Franchising makes is all the worse because the corporate brand can claim ignorance.

    The problem occurs so often that it’s clear that the brand is culpable at the societal level… If the brands actually cared, this sort of shit would end their franchise. Since the legal system won’t fix it, we need to step up and say, “no more” and boycott all franchises.

    These are franchise run stores, not corporate run stores. This sort of behavior exists across all fast food franchises.

    Every fast food place I’ve ever worked, the owners are trash. They dont work in their own stores except for extreme circumstances. They pay the lowest possible wages and churn through workers all so they can become millionaires. Their personalities were all so toxic that the actual workers prefer them not to be around.

    Just one a thousand reasons to only dine at locally owned businesses where the owner is literally working alongside happy staff everyday.





  • You called me an “Apple idiot”

    I understand you and all the others downvoting me are emotionally invested in my life and that’s cute but that was an insult.

    I’m sorry to any involved that had an upbringing where insult and condemnation was consider love and affection. It’s not. Seek therapy. Creating an out group out of Apple users to help yourself feel superior isn’t mentally healthy.

    It’s amazing how eerily similar this sort of discussion mimicks those I have with Trump supporters.

    I have a working theory that people such as you will suffer the great Fox News brain rot as you age. All the pieces are certainly in place for it.
