I don't care if you're on or off the Taylor Swift hate train, but this is freaking funny.

Real answer is that it's not that they don't like dick it's that they don't like the dicks attached to them

Is the word "slams" appropriate in this context?

This is not fucking WWE hell in a cell, this is them fining them for breaking the law.

A slam would be the "value of the company", not a small percentage of the money they made off of breaking the law.

You can fine Amazon $130 million.

To "slam" Amazon you got to hit them with 130 billion dollars

Poland ought to ban that company from ever working or operating or selling any products inside of its country and any trains made by that company that are not currently owned by Poland should be prevented from traveling on the tracks that cross through Poland.

Or the warden got a nice chunk of change for that man's heart.

My reaction to this post is about the same as it would be if an alien came up to me and just started garbling noises at me. I have no fucking clue what any of this is supposed to mean

Shareholders are the worst creation of capitalism so far.

It allows you to create anonymous gray masters that you must serve at any cost no matter how humanly heinous they are.

Also, the bad thing that can happen to the shareholders is that they lose a little money whereas the people beholden to the shareholders can lose everything they have including their souls, and all the shareholders have to do is say "I had nothing to do with it, I just bought a piece of paper, I didn't even get a piece of paper I got an nft" and wash their hands of the whole thing.

The fact that our retirement accounts are being used to fund the hedge managers that create small shareholders that run the businesses that fire us so that the large shareholders get more money now in hopes that in some theoretical future the small shareholders get enough money to enjoy our twilight years is absolute insanity.

I once had a job that was working me every single day 9 hours a day because they would not replace the 4th employee who quit, running a 24/7 location.

I told them that if they didn't hire somebody I would quit.

I gave them a week and they hadn't even made an attempt to hire anybody.

I offered to the manager that two days a week we would each take a 12-hour shift, so that each of us in turn would get one full day off each week.

My manager said no.

To my manager's shock and surprise I quit on the spot, and my manager and my coworker each got to work a 12-hour shift for the next 6 weeks every single day until the other person quit and they had to close the business down until they hired in replacements.

"Doing it for the kids" he says to himself while she goes around and probably has sex with other people behind his back. Like I think we're all at the point where nobody would fault Will Smith for divorcing Jada pinkett and moving on.

I am native American and I have done exactly one rain dance in my life.

I was living in Texas at the time and I heard it was going to rain a little and being a dumb teenager I told my friends, "Hey check it out I'm going to do a rain dance" and I hooped around for a minute and called it quits.

So rather embarrassed but you know sometimes you just do shit to do shit whatever.

I figured what the hell, maybe they haven't seen the weather, maybe they'll think that I'm magic or something for just a moment.

It was the worst hail storm that town had had in 20 years.

Cars were dented, roofs were damaged, there were flash floods, nobody died that I'm aware of but there was a lot of property damage and I don't feel specifically responsible for it, but I do feel like it's more than a coincidence, like I pissed off some of my ancestors by doing that shit and I haven't done it since.

You done fucked up from the moment you turned 5. That's where you went wrong. You should have just stopped getting older

Reminds me of a story I read about how if you had a can of food and bacteria got into it, and every day the bacteria doubled in size, and somehow this bacteria had conversations with itself with all of the other bacterias in the can about how long the food would last.

How long would it be before everything ran out?

At some point, the smart bacteria would stand up and say, "Hey, my fellow Amoebas, we've used 1/4 of all of the food in the can! If we're not careful and if we don't manage our resources we will run out of food!"

And the politician bacteria would say, "Don't worry, everyone, we have 3 times as much food as we've ever used in all the months of our existence still in the can!"

And the bacteria was fruitful, and multiplied.

And when they hit the halfway mark the next day, the smart bacteria would stand up and say, "Hey my fellow Amoebas, we've used half of all of the food in the can! If we're not careful and if we don't manage our resources we will run out of food!"

And the bacteria politicians would say, "Everyone! Don't worry! We still have as much food left as we have used in our entire existence to this point!"

And the bacteria was fruitful, and multiplied.

And then another day passed, and all of the bacteria died.
