Your state leaders weren’t stupid, they were greedy corrupt piece of shits who were in on the scam with oracle

Guy looks like a hot dog that went bad

You should do that as well, to protect the kids from those brain rot slop websites

It’s an escape hatch of your current existence is shit, play the lottery and try again for a better luck, even if you don’t remember your pervious attempt

It’s installing regardless from where you get the app, by labeling it as sideloading these giant corpos want to label it as doing something outside the norm, something that is “unsafe” so they can have control over user behavior and market dominance

Also some libraries carry power tools and kitchen tools that you can borrow if you need something only occasionally

I stopped working retail a long time ago and the fact that you think people in certain jobs are worth less than you and should suck up and deal with shitty behavior speaks volumes about what kind of a person you are

I’m not saying there should be no acknowledgement of someone, but a simple hello or hi or even a head nod is enough. Stop expecting people to put on a fake smile and make small talk to make you feel good about yourself

Hey how’s it going is just an empty phrase that means Hi, you should not expect any response to that other than a hi back at most, unless you actually want to know how they are doing, and the answer to that is they are tired and miserable, which you would know if you ever worked a customer facing minimum wage retail job before. Just because people don’t have the energy for your bullshit doesn’t mean they are neurodivergent. In many other countries where employees aren’t forced to plaster a smile on their face the interaction won’t be anymore then this either.

Unless you are literally a child there is no reason for the person at the counter to greet you or ask how they can help, put on your big boy pants and just tell them what you need and move on, everyone is busy and no one has time to make you feel special, have your order prepared before getting to the counter, just say Hi can I have xyz and they will get it done, that’s all the conversation that needs to happen.

I assume local birds and rodent population also likes being alive and not getting attacked by a cat.

Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I’m sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
