Might be too late for you now, but for everyone else reading, involve your state employment commission! I got all my back pay from an abusive restaurant owner (like a million years ago, apologies if these no longer exist or are just too dysfunctional to do anything anymore).

I was in high school, working like 50-60 hour weeks, and this lady thought it was fine to pay regular rates past 40. I sure didn’t! State employment commission didn’t either. Stole some water bottles full of Grey Goose on my way out, lol, then collected a cool few very well-earned buckaroos some months later.

Restaurant folded in a year. Turns out it was basically a gift from her successful husband anyway, lady was outrageous. As in, fuckin employees in the walk-in and stealing money from high school kids outrageous lol

Aaaaand just realized I’m old. I’m apparently the kinda guy who just tells stories about strangers to no one, from 20+ years ago, for no reason.

I like how this long ass screed of insanity never actually explains his death 😂 what a tale tho!

Could do Aaron Swartz if ya haven’t, folks oughta know 🤷‍♂️

.world is known (largely due to the Luigi Mangione stuff) to have moderation that’s a bit more heavy handed and more similar to the sort of “corporate Internet”.

No real hate for them and they’ve indicated in the past that some of their actions are just to comply with their local laws. But if you’re looking for an older internet experience you’ll wanna move to a different instance.

What are you talking about lol. Jeff Bezos is doing the only thing Jeff Bezos does, stuff that’s good for Jeff Bezos. This is giant leverage that tells the Trump administration “we have big tools at our disposal if you don’t make us happy with whatever economic policies we do end up with”. He displayed that leverage, it turned into a news story, and behind closed doors, a shift occurred, likely minor, in the ever-evolving power dynamic between the two pricks.

Don’t get it twisted. These dudes and the rest like them will never help us except in the most casually incidental way.

Thanks, Ken. DOLT

To take that even further, NFT art produced by one of the largest corporations on earth is just so hilariously cynical, it’s like life writing poetry.
