Even if you don’t like Halloween you have to appreciate its position as the sole thing keeping Christmas from advancing even earlier into the year like a cancerous growth
I lay awake at night dreading the day when a very potter musical is no longer outrageously funny to people because they don’t understand all of the painfully 2009 cultural references that are made
Isn’t this what happened to Shakespeare
Future editions of AVPM will have a footnote explaining who Zac Efron was.
Protest the working conditions, not what the boss makes.
Getting paid more does nothing for the working conditions where it’s so stressful someone attempts suicide. Or do you really think that kind of work suddenly gets better because bigger paycheck?
Also, I just want to point out, a lot of this is illegal as fuck. If these claims are true and not just butthurt little kids because “wha whaaa whaaa! I want more money!” Then they should file a report and get that shit handled. Posting on social media isn’t going to do shit.
You’re only half right, and clearly not abreast of the issue, m8.
While you’re correct that the working conditions are shit and illegal af (my m8 worked there in their Kent WA facility) and the way they purposefully stretch your hours and call you 30 mins before they want you there for random shifts that they will fire you if you don’t take. The piss bottle thing is legit. If he didn’t run across the warehouse and sort quickly enough he got screamed at and told he had to do manual unpaid overtime or he was shitcanned, and they would blacklist him for any other company he would apply to.
Any time he got a phone call from work while off shift he would end up in tears due to stress.
Reporting the conditions didn’t help.
The other problem is they are being paid the absolute lowest wage that is legal to pay them, and of those 60 hr weeks? Obit 40 hrs of it gets paid. Rest is mandatory unpaid ot.
Jeff Bezos makes billions. Please tell me why he can’t afford to pay his workers fair wages and to fix working conditions? Why he refuses Seattles $15 minimum and the yearly taxes? I know it’s bc he can get away with it currently, but that’s why ppl are upset. That’s why they’re bringing up his wage. Bc this issue is a 2 parter m8. Just sayin.
That’s the thing. All of this people can legit sue for. I’m taking you at face value here. I’m coming at this like you are telling me the gospel truth. Reports need to be filed. Lawsuits filed. Because this shit is ILLEGAL. But people would rather bitch on social media.
Get me?
Galaxy brain tumblr user: Why don’t the completely broke, ununionized factory workers just sue Amazon, the multi billion dollar multinational corporation?
Let me point our a minor fact. The median income in America is approx. $50 K a year, and most people’s working life time is considered 18 to 68, or 50 years. This means that at current worth a person earns $2.5 M over a life time. So in one week Bezos increased his “Worth” by the lifetime earnings of 1320 American Families. Can anyone in all honesty justify this?
so @biflash and I decided we need a realistic movie/show scene where the science character goes to do their amazing analysis in the lab only to have random realistic problems occur (b/c it’s unrealistic that their work is so accurate in like 20 min work time)
science character: ON IT!!*4 hours later* “fuck, the gel cracked when I was trying to get it off the plate”
a 3 hour long movie of some poor grad student stuck in a lab trying desperately to get data
a 10 minute montage of everything that can go wrong going wrong
Scientist after gel finishes: “I GOT IT!!! LET’S SEE WHAT WE’VE GOT!!!”
Image: only shows ladder
scientist: fuck
background hero: in english pls
forgetting which lanes represent what/forgetting to label test tubes/forgetting to add dye to their samples (I am guilty of this)
accidentally running the sample off the gel
or stopping it too early and not having the bands separate accurately
fucking up so badly not even the ladder shows up
random air bubbles disrupting the formation of lanes after putting in the comb
and the gel is already half solid so u cant just pour in more
smelling like rotten fish all day because they opened a mini tube with TEMED in it
accidentally running the sample from positive to negative instead of negative to positive and realizing they just wasted like half an hour
the gel leaking as they pour it between the glass frames
getting into ninja poses as they try to see the nearly invisible wells while they try to load them
forgetting to leave their tubes on ice and performing the whole experiment for no reason™
forgetting to mix the restriction enzyme samples properly and screwing up the restriction digest
give us more realistic scientists who suffer pls. not all scientists can perform a badass experiment with the presence of one random mini tech machine. and even if they did, i bet you something would somehow go wrong hahaha.
“What do you mean we were supposed to tare the beaker first?”
*looks at an unknown amount* Eh, that looks like 5mL. We don’t have to measure
*no product is formed* Okay, so it wasn’t 5mL.
WHY IS IT NOT TURNING BLUE YET. WE ADDED THE BASE ALREADY.
*cleans beaker with distilled water* Oh yeah, I definitely used soap on this. *whispers to lab partner* “I didn’t.”
I’M TELLING YOU DR. ZHANG, THERE IS NO WAY THE PROTEIN CONCENTRATION IS ONLY 6%. YES. WE CHECKED THE ABSORBANCE. NO I WILL NOT REDO THE EXPERIMENT.
i hope people realize that when i wear my shirt a unbuttoned a little too low it’s not a “i want people to see my cleavage” thing because it’s not that and i don’t even unbutton it low enough for that but it’s me channeling Jeff Goldbum as Dr. Ian Malcolm
