From my experience, I've realized that the fictional corporations you see in the world in video games are not exaggerations at all.

That terminal you read in that old office building in that Fallout game? That's just an average day in corporate America.

Customers are too needy. Just order off the menu and then you do whatever you want to with it.

Yeah, but they also like being able to eat and have lights and a roof.

Most people basically work in something they'd call a financially abusive relationship if it were a person to person interaction.

You don't need to defend your employer to keep your job, though. As long as you are doing the job and not directly confronting your bosses, no one gives a damn whether or not you like the company.

But most people talk about how their jobs suck anyway, so I still don't get how they can pretend to not know what the truth is.

I mean the whole paycheck thing goes a long way. A lot of people have their loyalty literally bought, though that seems to be in decline lately.

Don't the majority of people hate their job?

Here's what McDonald's profit margins look like

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/41d1f8c7.jpg

I can't believe greedy employees are forcing McDonald's to raise their prices to keep their doors open!

Corporation: *cuts staff and hours, barely raises wages, hikes up prices despite massive profit*

TC: "lmao everyone thinks they deserve more pay and now none of us can afford anything!"

I don't get how anyone who works for a corporation, especially in retail could ever believe the corporate propaganda. Their literal everyday experience at work would prove it's all lies.

He knew this topic applied to him when he saw the last 2 words.

omg I was literally reading about his career like 2 days ago

He's popular and stuff, sure, but he's never revolutionized anything. He just cashes in on trends and new artists.

Justin Bieber is one of the greatest selling male artists of all time.

Herman's Hermits were bigger than The Beatles peak-Beatlemania.

Oh, yeah, you guys might not be aware that Trump wants Libertarian primary voters to make him their 2024 candidate, so Trump can run simultaneously on the GOP and Libertarian tickets. This is a man who truly has no shame.

Everyone's a pacifist as soon as minorities say they want to protect themselves for people literally trying to kill them.

Or in @Gladius_ case, when a woman tries to protect herself and her daughter instead of quietly moving somewhere else.

But until that happens trans people arming themselves and learning how to defend themselves is the safe thing to do.

"You should do nothing until the perfect solution comes to fruition some time in the future" is a go-to for people trying to shut down or otherwise obfuscate a conversation.

That's what I'm curious about too. What would she get modded for? Also ignore the fact that ace is pretty notorious for being in and out of trouble. lol

He's probably concern trolling about her "advocating for violence"

Just like Chandler Parsons was going to lol.

uhhh Luka is way more proven than Chandler Parsons ever was

It's like how Anthony Edwards is clearly gonna be a HOFer barring injury

Some people really want Clark to fail for some reason

My question is: What's the point of the country if even literal human rights should vary from state to state?

Why not just secede?

Can we not do the whole "Uncle Tom" shit

We aren't doing anything. Clarence Thomas is.

Tunnel Snakes Rule!

Every one of those cops is pure evil. They should all be rotting in a cell.

I hope not. That image of him rolling slowly to a stop within several feet of a cop will haunt me for the rest of my life.

True, but many manufacturers are discontinuing these models

Because they've been pushing this agenda to suck the planet and wallets dry, and Americans bought into the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. The average person can't explain why they need a large vehicle.

Yeah Republicans have been pushing hard that Biden has abandoned Israel and been openly aiding Hamas. It's insane.

But how will the soccer mom who never carries more than her 2 kids fit them in a Nissan Sentra?

Answer: by opening the doors and then buckling the seatbelts when they sit down.

I like my crossover, and I got 35 mpg on my commute this morning.

You could get that in a car that stil has 4 doors and legroom

And larger vehicles still generally are worse for the environment.

. Why does the rest of the world keep complaining about the size of American cars? I often criticize aspects of America and the things we can improve, but this feels similar to British complaints about the way Americans pronounce words. They have their own altered words, like "aluminium," which Americans pronounce correctly. And they came up with fucking word and still say it wrong. Or the French, who criticize how we say "croissant"have you heard how they say "hot dog" and "hamburger"? It's a bit ironic to hear pronunciation critiques from those who often drop the "H" sound. I would be dammed if I let someone who can't say Haa tell me how to say words correctly.

Back to the cars: We have more space here, so we don't need compact cars to fit on narrow roads. Yes, vehicles like the F-350 are large, but that's the exception. Please, stop complaining about our regular trucks. And this is coming from someone who would drive a kei truck.

Except our vehicles are getting so big that many parking spots can't even accommodate them. There's such a demand for trucks and SUVs we'll rarely need the room of, that US makes like Ford and Chevy are basically phasing out cars entirely.

It's a very real, very American phenomenon
