  • Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

    If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask “wtf is this” and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can’t live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.




  • Imo skip the open source license. You’re wanting to give this specific organization access to your work. If you follow the suggestions here and license it under creative commons or some other open source license then you’re also opening the door for others to use that work. It would be better to give the organization use of your work in its current form but otherwise reserve all rights for yourself, via a custom (non open source) license. This way in the future you can continue doing whatever you want with it, and maybe that means open sourcing when you’re ready to do so.

    Ofc if you’re ready to open source now then go for it.



  • Idk about the meeting thing but do not disturb can do this already. Can set up a multiple schedules to auto turn on/off do not disturb and then allow exceptions from favorite (starred) contacts. You can also allow an exception from someone who calls you 3 times back to back in case they’re calling you from someone else’s phone. And can also allow some apps as exceptions in case you use a 3rd party alarm app or something else that you want to be able to make noise.

    I think in the context of the OP, not all donations have strings attached in the sense of trying to exert control. Maybe smelting orphans is undesirable but for donations previously received there’s nothing the donor can do about that other. And picking and choosing who you donate to isn’t a form of exerting control either.

    Whereas large university donations do usually have agreements signed that could drastically change school policy. These are “donations” to exert control in some form or another


  • the article is about the Haitian Bridge Alliance filing criminal charges because of the effects the “Haitian immigrants eating our dogs” lie has caused. This has nothing to do with party sides and everything to do with cause and effect. Jd vance openly said on tv that if he has to lie to get people’s attention then he’d do it, and now we’re seeing what happens when you mobilize a large part of the country to harass and discriminate against legal Haitian immigrants who are just trying to live their lives like anyone else.

    Now as far as slander goes, the courts would need to decide if malice was involved in the statements that at least one of them has openly admitted to being* false.

    Of course this could all just be avoided by not telling lies.





  • Ive had this happen a few times. It goes something like this:

    • i buy product and initiate return
    • i ship item with return label
    • as soon as return label is scanned then amazon will release the funds back to me
    • if for some reason they don’t get that package then they say they didn’t get the item back and take the funds back. When this has happened to me it has been 6+ months later
    • when i asked amazon about it they just tell me they didn’t get it back. I tell them i have the shipping confirmation receipt and that this is someone else’s problem and not mine.
    • there’s a lot of back and forth and eventually they act like they’re doing me a favor by giving me my money back

    I think the problem was one of the drop off locations we used was stealing products, or just straight up losing them. But it is insane to me that amazon comes back 6 months later. The only thing worse than buying a broken dildo on amazon is returning the broken dildo and still getting charged for it. Getting fucked by the broken dildo twice and not in the ways i had hoped!
