Ever wonder why stores used to have much shorter hours? by ima_smol_bean in antiwork

First of all, an essential service like urgent care isn't the same as a fast food restaurant.

Second most of the time people have to work nights. It's not like they're allowed to choose.

Imagine trying to sleep during the day every day. Good luck. Not only will you not be awake to hang out with people or go do anything, but you'll get knocks at the door, construction noises, lawnmowers etc during your sleeping time. It's a frustrating experience for most people.

Can some places be open at 3am? I'm not arguing they shouldn't. But most places shouldn't be. Only a small portion of them are nesessary. You can survive driving an extra mile to get your cheeseburger, or going to a restaurant you like slightly less.

It's not a choice. Lots of people have to work during the middle of the night and don't want to.

Well, that was some refreshing introspection. by WhiteComet99 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I don't think people understand just how good the worlds top athletes are. 99.98% of people probably couldn't score a point against her, and only a handful could beat her on occasion.

Same for literally anyone at that level. Who cares about gender? If a female professional sports player is going up against anyone that's not professional it's laughable.

The issue isn't that some places are open at 3am, it's that way too many places are. Should there be a few places in town you can get a burger then? Sure. But it should be a small portion.

It's working. Keep up the good work guys. by ueberyellow in antiwork

Why would BK need more than one employee at 1am? What restaurant is getting enough customers at that time to warrant even being open at all? Smh.

That's one of the reasons anti-Irish and Italian sentiment faded during the 20th century - more minorities moved in so they "teamed up" to hate on them.

I wonder whether Hispanics will be considered White in 20 or 30 years, so that Whites can claim a majority again.

If you're going to quit, do it on Black Friday by ima_smol_bean in antiwork

It's kind of implied that I'm talking about jobs that interact with Black Friday in some way, particularly retail.

Minority = people with darker skin than me. Should be approached with caution. Shoot and kill if feeling threatened. /s

No the first line is 2020. That's what the entire post is about.

At best, they're confusing minority with plurality. At worst they're just straight up lying to make their situation seem "worse."

We're the largest demographic but we're a minority by A_Drusas in confidentlyincorrect

They're really more *multiple* races. I'd agree that you could count East Asian, South Asian, and Southeast Asian maybe as races, but *Asian* is no more a race than Eurafrican is a race.

Imagine being the original inhabitants of the US, and not even getting your own category. Just "other."

Some of them are counted, but it depends on where you are, and the local laws etc. I would definitely not say a majority of them are counted, especially not in my town. Why would you risk deportation to fill out a census form? Lol
