Watch The Thing next.

It largely holds up. That scene in particular.

It was severely flawed from its inception and veered further from reality since.

The vast majority do not. We're in a pretty tech savvy bubble here on Lemmy.

I see the downvotes here but would anyone like to explain what's wrong with PIA? I've been using it for many years.

your

Somebody needs to get up on their high school education and it's not the person you're talking to.

lol

That's the difference. This is a corporation, it's above people in the hierarchy.

As a former long time service industry wage slave I'll have it known that you've crossed a line. Take it back.

They can purge you in certain states if you skipped an election. Show up to vote and surprise! You're not registered.

Yeah that's the point. They know it's already illegal, they put it on the ballot to drive turnout. Conservative voters are convinced that non citizens are voting in droves.

Except cis hetero christian white men.

I would be yelling out every 15 minutes or so when it got really bad- "carryout times are now 40 minutes. Delivery times are now an hour and a half." And the people we had on phones because they were incapable of making food properly are telling customers yeah it'll be ready in ten minutes. It'll be there in 30 minutes. I trained them and emphasized in crew meetings that the absolute minimum time if we are completely dead will be 15 minutes for carryout and 45 minutes for delivery. They didn't care. They worked their 4 hour shift and went home. Can't blame them for not caring but damn have some empathy for your comrades.

Nurses would regularly call and immediately ask for me. Because they want to place fifteen different orders all for cash. This would fuck everything up and be late at night when I'm half of the kitchen staff. I'm on the phone with them for 10 minutes. 10 minutes at 30% production actually will fuck a restaurant. Not to mention it screwed our ticket average which meant I'd never get a bonus. The driver would get there and they'd hand them a wad of cash. It could have been done in two minutes as one order but they wanted each person's food to have their name on the box.

I began to dislike nurses at that job. Now I work with them regularly as a hospital installation contractor. Now I hate them. Sorry to the nurses out there who aren't burned out and care about their patients.

I actually heard this interaction between two nurses the other day that restored some faith-

Nurse A- I can't find an iPhone charger do you have one?

Nurse B- No I don't have one and no I don't know where one is

A- How do you charge your phone then?

B- I don't have to because I work instead of staring at it all day.
