Reminds me of the places that make you take a “can you recognize basic employee norms and sufficiently lie about your personal life to your manager?” tests
A lot of that is about the bread wall. You can buy the full miches, among other things, off the bread wall behind the counters. I guess they’ve found that having all that fresh bread out front increases sales (kind of like how groceries stores out fresh flowers out front and then having the produce section be right near the front door), but a lot of the big ones sell really inconsistently. Not many people are doing grocery shopping at Panera, you know? Some days the bread wall empties. Other days, it’s half full at the end of the day with bread that’s only a couple days away from being moldy or so hard it’s not edible. So they mark up the bread that’s most likely to remain on the shelf anyway and it becomes tax deductible when they donate it to a local charity. They get their pretty bread wall that sells out two days a week and they get to write off their losses.
But if they don’t donate the bread, it’s not deductible. And if you let employees take enough extra bread, they stop buying as much on their lunch breaks and you start getting empty bags arriving at local soup kitchens, which is a bad look and can jeopardize the arrangement.
Panera overnight baker. I got hired as a warm body to stop them from having to fly someone in and put them up in a hotel. I did not have any relevant qualifications. My training was rushed and done by someone who wasn’t qualified to train me. Then when I was doing the job too slowly, they decided it was cheaper to bring someone in than to keep paying me overtime. I almost cried. I’d never made more than $10 an hour prior to that job, so I thought I was making good money. I wasn’t. Panera and their overpriced shit can eat my whole ass.
And those who demand instant perfection the day after the revolution, they go up and say “Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they gonna be allowed their newspapers and their radio programs, are they gonna be able to keep all their farms? The passion that some of our liberals feel, the day after the revolution, the passion and concern they feel for the fascists, the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists who are dumping and destroying and murdering people before.
Most people I know only get a car when their old one won’t run anymore. So if you wanna take your time with the purchase, you’d better have some really good people in your life willing to drive you to work and to the store for weeks on end.
ActivityPub is a W3C standard. It’s extremely underspecified and therefore easy to implement. Mastodon implemented it and became the most popular implementer. Other AP servers wanted to be able to speak the Mastodon dialect of AP. Therefore a lot of design decisions are de-facto cemented despite not being specified, including many regarding authorization and identity.
This is technically correct, but I believe his point was that cishet people get to experience heterosexuality as a default mode which is passively affirmed throughout most of society, whereas trans people often have more alienation from that passive affirmation, both in their gender and in their sexuality. If a trans man and a trans woman are attracted to each other, are not attracted to members of their own gender, their relationship is a straight relationship, but it can also be a queer one and they’re more likely to see it as such because of their relationship with trans-ness.
