  • I wonder how tough it would be for someone to start a DVD cottage industry, replicating the old Netflix model, where you mail hard copies of pirated movies upon request? I already order hard copies of movies from Amazon if I know I want them in my collection permanently, but damn, sometimes those are pricey as hell




  • “When a company CEO logs into their Slack and sees 10,000 Clippy’s looking back at them, what I hope occurs is that they intuitively understand that they no longer live in a world where they can get away with fucking over the consumer.”

    No they won’t, they will understand that they need to make sure they’re improving the PR for their shitty practices and have robust RnD in place to make sure their long-term shitty practice plans are evolving


  • Where I work we’re only allowed to roll five vacation days forward. Any days not taken above that are paid out at the end of fiscal from the budget of the director, so there is a rather firm rule against management declining vacation requests unless absolutely necessary. Come February, emails are generated every couple of weeks reminding managers to follow up up with employees who have more than a week remaining, so it’s used by March 31.
