Yes. It’s why there is an entire genre of comedy based on it: slapstick.
Any other pointless, moralistic virtue signals you want to add or ya done?
“Yes. Do you require a demonstration?”
That usually works to shut em up.

Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.nettoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•A Blackstone CEO got Luigi’dEnglish42·7 days agoApparently he was trying to shoot up an NFL office but caught Blackstone by accident.
Not really gonna shed tears over the death of a CEO (also a NYPD pig was got as well) but others who were just working class bystanders also died.
This is a tragedy committed by someone whose actions should not be glorified. It was pure luck that this turned out the way it did.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Work=Free time in a free societyEnglish1·7 days agoNo but that’s the point.
Love what you do, enjoy it as you would a weekend, but, like the weekend, when you stop enjoying what you’re doing you stop and go do something else.
It’s all just time. Work and free time are just moments. We should be the ones in charge of how we spend them.
Obviously, there are caveats and nuances, such as mutual agreements about certain obligations to ensure necessary services are always available, but that gets into nitty gritty about work place authority structures and ownership over means of production and yada yada.
Cool story bud but that’s not how shit works. Go play your reactionary, blame-shifting games elsewhere.
Edit: lol please keep responding you braindead Muppets, it lets me know who to block.
The An-Prims approve.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Effectively managing ADHD with caffeineEnglish9·8 days agoMonster and Weed for me.
Also not exactly a healthy life but it’s “affordable” (I know sodas are expensive but I need that fizzy stim) whereas proper healthcare is not.
Just because I need a compatible personality doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my partner’s other features.
And for the record, ass.

Fucking hang them all. Every last owning class bastard deserves nothing but a tortured end at the hands of the people.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish2·8 days agoIts up to the employee to ensure they do not get away with it.
This is literally victim blaming.
Oh, you were exploited by the system? Well it’s your fault for letting them do it, silly peasant!
You literally do not understand the mechanisms behind systemic exploitation.
The original claim wasn’t that they will simply just “refuse to pay”, it is that they will take advantage of the convoluted system in order to exploit the vulnerable and desperate workers they are responsible for.
Trusting the legal system that was designed and run by capitalists to uphold the interest of workers is braindead bootlicking. Literally. Fuck off your naive bullshit.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish61·8 days agoYou don’t get paid daily, dipshit. What gives them the impression they can get away with it is because they rely on a convoluted system to obscure their fraud against vulnerable, such as the youth who do not fully understand their rights as workers, and the desperate who are taking bottom of the barrel jobs to make ends meet and don’t want to risk putting their lifeline in jeopardy to stand up for their rights. A legal battle takes time, but rent is due and the fridge is empty right now.
Jesus Christ, you are naive. Holy fuck you’re not even worth talking to. Fuck off with your myopic victim blaming rhetoric.

Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish51·8 days agoGot a love all the victim blaming going on in this thread right mate? I seriously don’t get these people who bend over backwards to lick capitalist boots.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish6·8 days agoPlacing the blame on the victim to not be taken advantage of instead of blaming the one who is taking advantage of others is myopic as fuck.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish31·8 days agoBud you think fraud doesn’t happen? How naive are you? Businesses will happily commit fraud if they think they can get away with it. And they do, routinely.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Epstein puts my morality into perspectiveEnglish31·8 days agoYou assume the business isn’t committing fraud by not reporting accurate tips and/or aren’t taking advantage of the naive and vulnerable by convincing them it is in their best interest to not report accurately.
Wage theft is the largest and most common category of theft in the US, after all.
The only real solution is a general strike of all wage staff that prevents these businesses from operating until things change. But that would require massive unionization efforts before it would even be remotely possible.
Meanwhile the 70% of the time with them refusing is more than enough reason to try something else for a change.
