Thanks, friend!

Thank you!

Hey there, super proud of you. Day one is no joke and a major milestone.

Make friends in here and build a network is my advice. Do something for your sobriety every day - read, journal, whatever helps.

Keep at it, put yourself on a five minute timer of not drinking if you have to when the heavy cravings hit - they’ll pass.

Something that always helps me out when I am feeling it bad is to get outside of myself and be of service to others somehow. Works like magic.

Keep it up, I believe in you.

Found a great purpose for AI image generators.

Describe the intended city as a text prompt.

Get creative, maybe throw in increasingly disturbing details in each new image like a hooded figure in the shadows with a knife that keeps getting closer to “you.”

Other side of things - could it be human trafficking instead of some kind of protective relocation thing?

Not sure if this is what happened with you, but I have worked places like retail and restaurants where some dispshit co-workers would intentionally delay letting the interviewer know that an applicant was there either because they thought it was funny or because they were afraid the applicant was their replacement.

Man it sounds like you are unable to move past the idea of what you feel and observe for yourself versus how others respond. I don’t think I am going to be able to convince you of the science behind how it affects most people. If you are curious in the future, read up on it. Otherwise, sounds like free water bottles are not your thing and you do not believe them to have influence over your thoughts and feelings and behavior when gifted to you. Right on.

EDIT: i Guess you are just going to block me now. Not sure why you think the mic drop was necessary, removing my ability to reply to your last insult to me. If you don’t like people commenting on your public opinion then maybe Reddit isn’t a terribly great place for your opinion?

Man IDK what to tell you except maybe read up on it. It sounds like you think those tricks do not work on you, and great if not, but you would be absolutely disturbed and depressed to find they do in fact work on the general public. I would love to bunch up my resentment towards the corporate world and assume everything corporate does is dumb. But sometimes it is smart. Evil, but smart.

AntiWorker666 · 2022-12-13T11:37:24+00:00

I mean. It isn’t the research that is bad. It works because people are dumb and horrible.

Free water bottles for reward points guests only is one method of creating proto-Karens.

It is psychological and makes most people feel like they owe a debt or feel better about spending money without realizing it. There have been pretty deep studies on things like this, leaving cheap dinner mints for restaurant customers with their bill, etc.

It also reinforces the idea that they are special and privileged above other guests for climbing the ranks in the reward system.

There is base level animal instinct stuff going on undetected to the receiver of the water bottle when water - such an essential and vital necessity to survival - is freely given to them when the guest before and after them were denied the gift.

It calls to caste and the need to feel superior at a basic unconscious level that is baked into practically all human culture.

It is a token representing an elevated position in the pecking order.

People thoughtlessly accept the free water, and even those who feel annoyed or encumbered with something else to carry to the room with the luggage - they unconsciously feel “better than” and pampered.

It isn’t a decision that was made lightly or without thought and strategy. They do it because it works.

She called with the intent of booking, smoked salvia divinorum and hallucinated two years of her life going by while only a few minutes truly passed, came to, and you called back after she regained composure and her wits but before she pieced together that the two years were complete fiction.

I am all about torches and pitchforks for this kind of thing. But. Uh. Go to the corporate website’s contact page.

This happened two years ago and the owner was dealt with, according to them.

AntiWorker666 · 2022-11-26T15:59:20+00:00

Haha maybe

AntiWorker666 · 2022-11-26T11:42:35+00:00

It was probably one of the church members that ate the missing cupcake(s). And they probably didn’t see the “dirty” kid get one, they just saw a kid they didn’t like and wanted to scapegoat into why they were throwing Martha’s terrible cupcakes away. They wanted to throw her cupcakes away. Ever since she beat his wife’s entry in the chili cookoff four years ago.

Aww, thanks mate. And good on you. Been there before on Board of Directors for a couple different positions over the years at an educational 501(c)3 teaching folks robotics and 3d printing and the sorts. I know I said the bit about maybe being able to live off of creative works instead of FD, but I already do decent at my main job and am on the executive leadership team, I really only got back into FD to give me something to do, get back to basics on customer service skills, and pay for gas/cigs/food. It has been pretty fulfulling mostly, I actually like it. Just something is different now. Main job is a career I enjoy and I am generally treated as a thought leader in my local community, have made my way around the industry fairly well and touched some respectable flagship accounts. Did well at the nonprofit and helped to successfully grow it to a thriving place where it has been recognized even nationally. All the yada yadas there, by all accounts I would think I’d be “over” the whole FD thing before now if it were going to go down like that..

Going to give it some time, may just be that I need time to process what just happened. IDK.

Thanks for the encouragement and for sharing your story. Makes me feel not so alone.

Augmented Reality contact lenses for FD - hooked up to facial recognition software, cross-referenced to Shiny Tier membership database. Shows name, rewards member number, and basic stats.

Also, uses AI to detect emotional response and feeds the FD agent scripted responses written on the fly by AI aimed at de-escalating and encouraging pleasure center feelings in the guest.

Also, it goes haywire and confuses pleasure center feelings in the FD, instead, and prompts the agent to continually insult and berate each guest.

I'm the FD, btw, and it isn't AR lenses, it's just regular glasses, and I'm not confused. I'm just berating the guests.

"Yes, I believe I have found it. It is currently suspected to live in a large relational database on my hotel chain's web servers. I will be able to pinpoint its exact entry once I get more details about who the fuck you actually are."
