That’s some sexy perfume to others.

If you know the workers are being exploited, and you use the service anyway, how are you not partially responsible for exploiting them? It seems like you feel entitled to exploit them for your own gain as a customer. I agree that the employer is also responsible. A way to hold them accountable would be to eschew the service altogether. Otherwise, what incentive do they have to change?

If the business doesn’t deserve to exist, why do customers keep supporting them? Why is the onus only on the workers to suffer?

Beautiful little redhead.

No they didn’t, this is just a CVS receipt.

It makes women’s blouses more expensive to dry clean, because they can’t be pressed on the same machine that does men’s shirts without breaking the buttons.

I have an unemployment joke but it doesn’t work.

I worked as a server at olive garden many years ago. They famously had their soup, salad, and breadsticks deal for like $6 something. People would run us ragged getting more of each thing. And we’d be lucky to get a $1 or 2 because the price was so low, but it was vastly more work than regular food.

I was raised in cult that told me the world was going to end when I was still a child. I was never supposed to hit teenagerhood, and here I am in my 40s.

As an example, I started c/52weeksofbaking (copied over from reddit). Its a place for amateur bakers to challenge themselves, try new things, and share their successes and failures. There’s zero reason to downvote posts there. I stickied a request for people to not downvote in that community. It’s currently sitting at 20 upvotes and 18 downvotes.

We can make fun of people for caring about fake internet points, but if we want to get more people to use lemmy and create content, we need to create communities that feel welcoming.

So far, I’ve encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.

If this isn’t a copypasta, it should be.
