what about like... those glycerin soap bars that look like shiny shiny jewels and smell like “fruits”?

I started managing during Covid. My life is now an endless stream of pointless half hour meetings.

Hi.

“It unbalances the economy” — funny how the economy wasn’t unbalanced before, when boomers paid exponentially less (even in inflation adjusted dollars!) for their houses and college. Like, I get that it’s an influx of cash, but surely getting people out from under tens of thousands of dollars of debt is a net…

I’m hiring right now. I know that a fair, competitive wage for the position that I’m offering in my area is actually what _I_ am paid as a manager two levels higher than what I’m hiring for. HR won’t budge. Across the board folks at my company are underpaid. We’ve had record turnover in the last couple months. It’s…

401ks are a forced loan from working people to the companies that employ us, with Wall Street skimming a healthy cut off the top.

I grew up in Ottawa, where it may be snowy and effing freezing from late October to early May in particularly unpleasant years, but everything basically continues to work because we were prepared for that.

I just tried to find out how much artists get paid for radio plays of their music — answer: $0. They do not earn royalty from that, because it’s considered promotional. You know, to sell _albums_. Which we’re all buying.

It’s unconscionable that the US tolerates hunger to the extent that it does, when it is such a rich nation.

Bake them, turn them into ‘pumpkin’ pie.

For what it’s worth — from what I understand, greying is sometimes the result of whatever author followed you on Kinja having left the job. It may not be punitive, just the result of someone going to a better place.

I agree with feeling squicked out when white people set their skin tone on an emoji. It’s gross. For PoC in predominantly white workplaces I think it can be an important show of solidarity, though, to set their skin tone.

Counterpoint: don’t, because they’re not energy efficient.

Fact: if you do this with sunflower seed butter, and add a little baking soda or baking powder to the mix, they will turn green on the inside when fully cool.
