  • I had a run in in the drive thru a couple years back. I pulled into one of the two lanes at McD, and another car went through the second lane. I wait my turn, and then try to pull forward, but the person in the other car was riding up on the bumper of the person ahead of them, like, clearly intentionally making sure there was no room for me to take my turn.

    So I roll down my window and call out “Hey, they’re gonna get our orders mixed up” and before I’d even finished my sentence the driver GOES BALLISTIC on me. Just screaming “oh my God, really? Really?? Over a burger? Really?? Really? Really??” And I just rolled my window back up. The person drove forward just far enough to keep me from moving ahead, but not far enough to get to the first window to pay. They waited. Waited until the line cleared up. Then they gunned it past the pay window and straight to the food window.

    I pulled up to the pay window, rolled mine down and loudly declared “Yeah, could I get my receipt too? I think this person ahead of my is trying to take my food!”

    At which point the driver ahead of me peeled out of the drive thru without having received any food.

    Window person said that such a tactic had been done a few other times that month by other people.












  • Lmao, “all over it”

    Tesla and SpaceX both have entire teams of people dedicated to making sure Musk has as little impact on the companies as possible because he’s such a fuckin’ buffoon. Take a look at Twitter, the company he bought and wasn’t prepared to keep him off the reins. It absolutely shit tanked. Same thing with his time at PayPal. Everything he touches turns to absolute shit. The only things he has that are successful, Tesla and SpaceX, are successful literally actually because the people in those companies that do the real work male sure he can’t fuck it up.

    The piece of Tesla he’s had the most impact on is the Cybertruck and its universally hailed as an absolute and utter failure. Put your tongue away, Musk ain’t gonna share his money with you dude.



  • The plain and simple truth is that DEI often increases, not decreases, efficiency and productivity. It does this by creating accommodations for efficient workers who would, without them, not be able to work, such as in the new mothers example. It also increases efficiency by combating existing institutional racism and allowing for good, efficient workers who would otherwise be hedged out of the system, to have a chance to participate. A good friend of mine has pointed out that their company is not, under any circumstances, going to let go of their DEI policies because it’s lead the best and most efficient departments they’ve ever had.
