this strike won them a 5% pay increase and the right to talk during lunch, in case you needed a reminder that if capital had its way your worklife would be entirely dystopian
This seems topical again.
“…and the right to talk during lunch…”
Think about the bastardly* boss-worker attitude of THAT.
These fuckers. The camera is top and center for the models that have them. They’re not everywhere yet, but they’re out there and tell the rest of the store your perceived gender, age, what you looked at, how long you looked, emotional response to it and what you bought in order to coordinate advertisements from all the other screens. They claim to anonymize the data but we all know random Nigerian princes are more trustworthy than big tech spyware companies.
never seen this before and it’s straight up satanic. Glass is clear why the fuck would you make the glass fridge door into a tv screen. Even without the ai panopticon, data harvesting, and advertisements, this would still be evil. We gotta start going unabomber on Kroger or something man make it stop
when i was a child my dad made up a fake holiday called big sandwich night the weekend after thanksgiving, during which we got the longest bread we could find and built a big sandwich together and then cut it up and ate it. we got really fancy ingredients and each built our own section of sandwich before cutting it. building the sandwich together represents community or teamwork or something. and then we would put our christmas tree up and the holiday season was officially kicked off with big sandwich night.
i grew up believing this was a real holiday that americans everywhere celebrated until when i was like 8 i asked a friend if they were excited for big sandwich night and they were like what the hell are you talking about riley. kind of shattered my worldview. but we still celebrate it and ive spread the tradition to friends and partners.
big sandwiches of years past:
as weve included more people weve started having to graft loaves together to make a sandwich big enough for everyone. but it still communicates the core idea of everyone eating the same sandwich together in fellowship.
