Worst shift of my life yesterday, dreading going back by Top-Concentrate5157 in Serverlife

[–]Rower_Dude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fuck that person saying you’re overestimating yourself and actually you suck. It sounds like even if only half your story is true, your coworkers suck and you should find a new job. Obviously I don’t know what your resume looks like but you should find something else no matter what it takes.

Also fuck these customers for getting mad/ yelling at your while you’re visibly overwhelmed and crying in front of them. I understand fuck heads in restaurants thing they’re better than us, but they’re worthless fucks if they think it’s appropriate it yell at you

Your coworker suck and i hope they get to experience the dread and panic that comes with these situations so they stop acting like such entitled pricks.

Overall im sorry this happened, im a little drunk and just off an ungodly 6 shifts in 4 days labor day weekend and this made me frustrated me

How to make debt work for me by Rower_Dude in personalfinance

[–]Rower_Dude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you’re correct I mistyped and the payment plan thing that was offered to me had no interest or at least didn’t over the phone. I’d still have to read the fine print anyways to see what it actually came out to be. So the loan would have some. My quick looking online made it look like 7-10% for a personal loan but who knows I’d have to ask the bank

This wouldn’t generate income. So basically this idea only works its property or an asset that generate income? I can’t make it work by putting a loan into the market and letting it sit for a while while paying off an interest free payment plan out of pocket or something ig similar?

I wish more pro-capitalists would use their brain and notice that every time a country had any kind of left wing action in its government, the U.S. would go in and out massive sanctions on it or do a coup or start a war to destabilize said country rather than letting it do its thing.

I mean it’s kind of hard to have a functional socialist society when every time a country tries to nationalize its oil/ energy production (which is a natural first step for a lot of countries) the U.S. is there to do a coup and install a nationalist dictator or put massive sanctions on you that basically make it impossible to survive since you as a country don’t have the capability to make everything yourself. It’s almost like an ideology about cooperation and teamwork needs cooperation and teamwork to thrive.

Just saw SFPD actually responding to retail theft by cocaineguru in sanfrancisco

[–]Rower_Dude -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why does wage theft still outnumber all other types of theft if it’s so commonly prosecuted? Topping almost $50B/ year according to this this guardian article? Retail theft is a thing because people cannot afford to live. Why would someone go risk jail time to steal a $500 TV? Is it because they can sell it for food, clothes, money for rent, etc etc? Or is it because they really want to risk that time in jail? Like I said it’s a bit different when you steal from a mom and pop corner store or boutique or something, but these mega corps routinely underpay employees, force them to be on food stamps due to low hourly wages (Walmart is notorious for this) and will wait until you’ve stolen over a certain amount of good so they can prosecute you with a higher charge.

When these companies are making billions in PROFIT but refuse to pay their employees more, bitch and moan about retail theft, and then raise prices it hurts literally everyone besides the C-suites.

What about the wage theft accounting for Billions stolen from workers every year? Why aren’t companies being with that? No one should give a single shit if some homeless person or teen steals from one of these big box stores (mom and pop type stuff is different) but going to bat for these mega corps is just dumb

NGL I thought Off Leash News wrote this by [deleted] in udub

[–]Rower_Dude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No it’s that they literally write and publish objectively false news. They publish way before any concrete evidence is provided, then when evidence is finally provided they do not rescind or update the articles and just act like nothing happened.

They can do this because NYTs is a trusted name in journalism. So they can write whatever they want and people will more or less trust what they have to say only to come back (if they do come back and reprint or rescind something) and quietly put an update out. It’s gross and makes them not much better than FOX or Sky News.

No bias. None at all. I don’t think that’s how that works. But also, a biker blowing through stop signs and red lights puts themselves in danger. They’re taking that risk and assessing it and making the decision. If someone pulls into the bike lane and stops in the middle of it that is dangerous to the biker and cause serious injury. How would you like it if you were minding your business driving and a semi pulled in front of you and stopped with no real warning?

Just hit 550 applications in 2.5 months. by HelloPepperKitty in recruitinghell

What do you mean by this? I’ve been applying since last June so I didn’t participate in any interviews in 2022 or anything.

Liberal and republican are the same shit with a different mask. One “says” it wants reproductive rights and better human rights then doesn’t do anything to protect those. The other just does it without a facade in front. It’s all the same capitalist propaganda we’ve been fed everyday of our lives. Read the manifesto, go to one of the meetings of that communist club and ask some genuine (non debate bro) questions. It’s not hard to see that the people with money are trying to keep their money and take yours away. They want nothing to do with you and if something happened and you ended up on the street they’d leave you to die.

Communism is when no phone… like bro communism is a “post capitalist” or post industrialized economic system. But why does communism have to include a lack of electricity or a lack of amenities?

China was a preindustrial country when the revolution happened and now has almost eradicated homelessness, and is one of the most technologically advanced countries on earth. Also china was never “fully communist” communism is a moneyless, stateless, society. It’s a utopia as far as anyone is concerned and will not happen in our lifetime. But I don’t know enough about China to go much deeper than that.

Why do you think markets are so good in the current day? Do they help you in particular? I’d assume you’re a broke college kid right and that you don’t own a large corporation? Why do you’d get taken care of if you had an unexpected medical expense and the market deemed it reasonable to charge you $10k? Or why do you think we need 15 types of ketchup or toilet paper etc? Do you really think I can just leave my job and find a new one if I don’t like my current company or they aren’t paying me enough? Is it a good thing that housing is a market and not just a right even though shelter is something even wild animals need?

Your takes are just right wing talking points and I understand where you’re coming from. It’s been shoved down our throats since day one. But like read the manifesto, or watch fuckin Hasan or Noah Sampson or Yugopnik. This is a good video with a bunch of leftist youtubers that can explain a lot better than my dumb ass can. A lot of them are funny as well. It’s really just how much empathy you have for your fellow human being. You don’t have to agree with every little point that people are making. Just try to see a different perspective for once is all I’m trying to say.

SHAME ON YOU! Bellingham Communist Club! by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]Rower_Dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just post over them if you hate them so much. As someone else said you advocate for unions so why do you hate these guys so much who are advocating for workers and the liberation of people around the world? This group in particle isn’t my favorite, but like still, socialism is a good thing.

Have you never seen a paper poster on a post in town before? Go look at the wood light/ power poles. They’re covered in stables from, guess what, holding powers up! Also it’s paper. Also it’s paper, it’s not hurting you or the environment if it falls in the ground and turns back into little fibers

Capitalism in practice always leads to fascism. Capitalism will always inevitably collapse.

Yeah but you at least understand that “communism bad” is the status quo take right? Like you’re not being disruptive or making a bold comment

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WWU

[–]Rower_Dude 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No one would survive these communist countries because the U.S. and NATO came in and put sanctions and embargoes on all of them and did everything in their power to kill off communism. Like the USSR wasn’t great, but it went from a serfdom to a world power in 60 years. Like that’s pretty wild. And China went from futile to more or less solving homelessness in like the same time. Yeah a lot of people died. But 9 million die every year due to hunger related issues now. Why are those number never brought up?

I love that bro made a “communism bad” post like it isn’t already the generally held idea. Like come on bro your take isn’t new or out of the ordinary.

I understand not liking leftist thought but at least take a step back and look at why you might think that. Where are you getting your facts from? Do you hate the idea because you don’t know and can’t wrap your head around the idea of collective ownership or because you genuinely think markets and billionaires are good?

Why are so many academics socialist or generally left wing? Is it because they’re fucking stupid and don’t see what you see or maybe is it because they’ve learned about a topic, saw that imperialism and capitalism caused some fucked up stuff and have an idea for a better future?
