I’m actually not laughing I do wish to choose to believe that human civilization can survive a carrington esque event

iirc the lying machine said something about recent satellite launches maybe a couple years ago? to help set up an early warning system in case there’s a solar flare that’s Gonna Do That and iirc it said something like it would give government organizations and power operators at least a few minutes to turn off and disconnect critical equipment, plus other stuff

based on the state of the Texas power grid it’s 100% cope but sometimes a little self delusion is necessary to stave off existential dread so I didn’t interrogate those claims

Shut up no it won’t be, i asked the lying machine if any significant work had been done to prepare for it and it said lots of stuff has been done and we’ll be fine and i choose to believe its lies with that thx

I was going to post that that’s the weirdest part of this honestly

We can eat a free lunch but we should be taking home food when we’re throwing away mountains of it daily. We were doing that for literally years before this guy feigned “realizing” we were doing that and told us not to

Each container of food is worth like $20 just for the food (comparative to what you’d pay buying the same amount) and also represents 1.5 hours of me not having to fucking cook and clean my kitchen at home. We are never going to cook less food because it’s buffet style serving and we are literally always going to have enough thrown away every meal period to feed everyone again multiple times over

This motherfucker talked at me about how he’d make extra sandwiches so he could take them home when working at chik fil a like it’s even remotely comparable. I want so badly to choke this man to death before i die

Usually this will last from 3-12 months, and then at some point it becomes a slog where I’ve learned everyhing there is to learn yet get ordered around by stupid people

Love being told im well compensated by the dining director who’s too shortsighted and ignorant to realize disallowing us the right to take home food that’s fucking getting thrown away anyway just hurts people for no gain, when he could look at it as extra compensation to us at no cost to him that would keep people motivated and reduce turnover etc.

Like the guy says “go work at any restaurant you’ll see nobody lets you take home food” and it’s like 1) not even true and 2) literally my point, it’s a perk, and if you remove it well that’s 1 less thing keeping someone here if another job might pay them more

I enjoy my job but i hate my boss and the system of wage labor that compels me to work to begin with. But my job is fucking around in a kitchen for 7 hours feeding about 50-60 vegans in a generally low stress environment where i can do literally whatever i want with the food as long as it tastes good and nobody is like “what the fuck is this slop” and i like that and i get compliments on my food all the time and the satisfaction that the president of the college loves my food.

Wage labor under capitalism sucks and i should be paid 3x what i make but i enjoy my job
