  • I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now?

    Jump

  • Exactly.

    And please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm in no way saying "Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!" or "Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs", I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain't-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h's worth. If you're in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven't rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny's worth of labour above $7/h.

    But there's a difference between 'doing 125% when you're being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free' and 'well I don't care about this job so I'm not even going to attempt the literal minimum.' If you're getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.

  • I don't expect perfection, nor did I ever state that I did. I expect the literal bare minimum of service which in the realm of delivering something means as I said to the other person, taking it from point A to point B. If you take it to anywhere but point B, you have failed the basic task your job revolves around.

    Not in my world lol.

    I order it for delivery, you're arse comes to my door. I don't care if it's a house, I don't care if I live 400 floors up in a space elevator. If the apartment number is on the order, buckle the fuck up, sunshine.

    Delivery guys ring my buzzer, I don't talk to em I just hit the button to open the front door and they can figure their lives out from there. If they call me from their cell phone, sorry kemosabe but I don't know your number and don't answer phone calls from random numbers I don't know.

    Food at my door, period. Don't even have to look at me, you can drop it and run for the hills to make up time for all I care. But it's at my door or your boss gets a phone call lol.

    Edit: Low expectation mother fuckers in these replies I swear. Try not properly completing the one sole task your job involves and see how long your bosses keep you around kiddies. Holy fuck.

    Edit 2: lol the copium below is both amazing and embarrassing.

    I'd love to continue engaging but I've gotta go get a job digging 10' holes. Might just dig them 5' deep and assume the boss will be fine with me doing a half assed job like so many in the comments seem to do apparently ROFL. Stay fresh, cheesebags.

  • Movies on Kbin is under new moderation

    Jump

  • kbin.social is run by the main kbin dev, Ernest, so kbin.

  • Youtube is at it again

    Jump

  • Someone elsewhere shared this but:

    Go into your ublock origin settings and go to your My Filters section. Add:

    www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)

    on a new line and apply. Should stop the delay from occuring.

  • When the Redditpocalypse started and we all came this way, someone made a post about this very thing. I still stand by my statement that day (which I paraphrase):

    I don't care about emoji's enough to whine until it's excessive. Reddit's insistence that one "😀" is the end of the world was pants-on-head-stupid. Use emoji's all you fuckin' want, but if you start putting 3+ in 1 comment I'm going to prep a straight jacket for the person.

  • Having never heard of this nor read the article, I assume it was the 2020's equivalent of the old AIM chatbots that were amusing to talk to for 11 seconds before realizing you had better shit to do.

  • To those genuinely interested in moderating

    Jump

  • If you didn't get an answer elsewhere yet: You click the button and it sits pending until approved (whether its Ernest approving manually or an automated batchjob I don't know). Seems to be once a day or so, so could be either but that's just anecdotal. That's it tho. Click the button and wait, no other steps lol.

    Either way, once approved the magazine will just appear in your moderated list on your profile (no notification or anything from what I've seen) and from there it's yours to do with as you want. I've claimed a dozen or so over the last day or so to delete (unused ones people sat on).

  • Gruled cheese

  • What a horrible day to have not lost my eyes to childhood diabetes.

  • Why does lemmy seem better for engagement and conversation then (I meant than) Mastodon

    Jump

  • kbin has been vastly lagging behind lemmy because for a lengthy period of time development has been effectively stopped as the primary dev (ernest) was going through some bad real life issues which took priority. This led to a lot of people leaving kbin or blocking it outright because of spam and bots and lack of updates.

    Ernest returned a weekish ago and is back to publishing updates (including several which have already killed the spam problem, being able to transfer community ownership and more) and daily posts dictating what he's working on and pushing (including the API which should be within the next few days).

    Lemmy at this point has had a huge head start and isn't basically one person so kbin lagging behind isn't surprising. Doesn't mean their statement of 'But this is also why Kbin is the best technology, combining both platforms.' is any less accurate. Kbin does combine both platforms, Lemmy doesn't. 'Best' can be subjective, but if that's their opinion then there ya go.

  • What to do with a bunch of vhs tapes

    Jump

  • That is neat as shit and I really regret getting rid of my huge ass collection of VHS tapes a dec..wait as I type this I remember I got a huge rubbermaid tote with the original Star Trek TOS VHS run they released back in the 90's sitting in storage somewhere..

    ..fuck I'm gonna buy a 3D printer now..

  • Dear Lemmy users, what are your favorite kbin communities?

  • It moved? Guess I can remove that tampermonkey script then lol

  • I wish Kbin users would just switch to Lemmy

    Jump

  • 99% of the time I've seen the spam over here it seems to be from !random so I unfollowed/blocked them a while back so I get what ya mean. This update I would imagine should help at least in some situations, so fingers crossed it won't be long for more updates to fix the rest!

  • Circumcised men, how do you feel about your parents having mutilated your penis without your consent?

    Jump

  • This was basically my situation, and it happened at age 4 so ironically some of my first memories are relating to my own circumcision 🙃. I also remember the doctor, with me laying on the table, trying to pull back my foreskin (again..4..) and making the call that I should be circumcised.

    I'm not gonna gripe much about it after the fact. My mother did much, much worse things to me than have me circumcised for me to complain about so it's just one more thing on the pile. I have zero frame of reference to feeling what being uncircumcised is like so I can't really miss what I don't know, but my cock works as well as I want and need it to (fuck even more than I want it to some days at 40yo..) so while I'm not happy it occurred without my consent, there's little I can do with it and it has thankfully never affected my life in any negative way.

    My wife and I are both in agreement however that should we ever have kids, we sure aren't doing it outside of actual medical needs.

  • Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’

    Jump

  • I’d rather let a crack addict manage my balls than let Musk anywhere near my money.

  • What's your favorite way to smoke?

    Jump

  • bongs are the most fun but a pain to clean and set up (mine is dishwashable lol)

    I thankfully just have a 7" beaker. ISO, salt, wrap both openings in a bit of clingwrap tightly and shake that motherfucker for 30 seconds like the bitch owes you money. Dump, rinse, crystal clear and ready to funk up again lmao.
