Welcome to New York, fuck you pal.

If you are gonna dump corpses of Legitimate Business Rivals in the back of the truck, ya gotta tip your trash collector ya goombah. That is just polite.

The guy is doing the job you don’t want to do and you’re probably doing a job he doesn’t want to do. At least respect that. At the end of the work day, we’re all people.

One of the duties I had in my job at the local army post right out of high school was trash collection. My personal worst part was going into the back of the truck wearing a raincoat and wielding a steam cleaner to grub the maggots out the various tracks and cracks in the back of the trucks. That job put me off of…

My garbage collector hates me because I downsized to a 10 gallon ($15ish/month) garbage bin instead of using their large/tall 32/64/128 gallon ones ($40/80/120 a month?) that can be picked up using their truck.

Everyone needs a hobby.

And lock or secure lids with heavy items between trash days so trash pandas, or other critters, don’t disgorge the contents of the trash bags so your sanitation workers don’t have to deal with loose trash going everywhere. Due to a dense coyote population I hadn’t had to deal with trash thieves as they didn’t want to…

I’m telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

I had to make a dump run recently as way more than can could hold, picked the wrong day, not rainy like previous trip at least, but windy as fuck. I ended up with a bunch of mystery “trash dust” coating the back of my throat and nasal passages, not sure what it was but it wasn’t pleasant, it took a long steamy shower…

The whole thing boils down to “don’t be an asshole” and everyone gets along just fine.

“Don’t say “I pay your salary”

LOL, city people. If I want my trash hauled away, I gotta throw it in the truck and take it to the landfill myself.

“Don’t light things on fire and throw them in the back of the truck”

Most of the apes cashed out years ago, now it’s a meme about a meme stock to keep the bottom of the pyramid scheme churning.

Exactly, that’s how those warranties always work. Costco takes pains to explain that in the brochure and I think it’s also clearly and explicitly stated on the SquareTrade website, but other companies aren’t so great about it.

Without the the meme bump in the stock (and possible some of the sweet rental deals they got during the pandemic) they would have gone out of business a few years ago. Guaranteed. Everyone in the business fully expected them to be long gone by now. Every single publisher and developer has been rooting for them to go…

I wonder if they'd still be operating if it weren't for the meme stock situation.

I always loved going to those midnight releases and I think the last one I went to was for my Xbox One. It was a fun time and weirdly LoZ Link Between Worlds released the same day as Xbox One. So while I was there I asked the manager if I could pick it up at midnight with the console and he was like sure why not. So…

Oof. Am I glad to have stopped working for Gamestop ages ago. I also no longer shop there. I feel bad for the employees. They’re the ones doing all the work and dealing with all the bull. As a company, Gamestop needs to die. They've been steadily enshittifying every aspect of their business for years now. I'll miss…
