Bought some Japanese-only Magic cards for 6,000 yen each. Turned them around on ebay for 20,000 yen each! Good stuff.

The only acceptable business model is a true cooperative

No owners no bosses no profiting off other people’s labor

Ridiculous. Every business beyond super small consultancies have multiple people with separate roles because there's literally no other way to run an organization. There's always someone who is a "boss" of someone. The guy stocking the shelves isn't the guy in charge of marketing, the guy in marketing isn't the guy who organizes all of the financials, and so on and so forth.

That being said, I'm all for more power to workers so they can have leverage against bad management / bad management practices. Otherwise you end up with situations not unlike the whole Uber strike.

What’s ridiculous is this bull**** hierarchical model we currently are pretending actually works. **** modern day feudalism. It’s time to liberate the masses and respect everyone’s humanity equally.

I’m doing “prep” in a seafood restaurant. There’s nothing on the management side that is out of my reach intellectually. I’ll go toe to toe on an IQ test with any mother****er there. Don’t give me this **** that the dude stocking shelves couldn’t do the marketing. And there shouldn’t even be such a thing as marketing. Just the word is ****ing repulsive.

Never said anything was out of people's reach intellectually. I'm saying the dude stocking shelves is most likely not going to be able to jump into a bunch of workflows and processes that someone who does marketing stuff for a business deals with unless he gets trained or has done that stuff before somewhere else. Maybe he tells the boss at some point "Hey, I can do that **** and drive sales, brand awareness, etc." But you and I both know that kind of thing doesn't happen often, which is why the owner ends up hiring an outside company or a local individual with a track record if they actually spend money on the PR/marketing/whatever side of the business.

we have managers at my job that have to ask the employees the most basic questions about how things operate because they've no idea, they used to manage a Lowe's or something

it's beyond stupid

as there are already functioning worker co-ops that can even compete with corporations, we know the model works, next step is to simply government mandate it

I've got personal anecdotes about people I've met in business too, but they won't convince you that, you know, there are people out there who know what they're doing even if I explained everything in excruciating detail.

What do you think of employee owned companies like WinCo Foods?

You should go apply at some of those employee-owned companies. WinCo is one but even here in Texas there are others. Most of them provide rock solid benefits even to entry level guys who are like 19 years old.

It was a small and literally underground venue and the audience was mostly die-hard fans so the atmosphere was great.
The set was a mixture of older songs and the new album. When they opened with Grembo Zavia I almost came.
Some nice surprises along the way like a fun, little classical medley as the first encore and AH doing an extended solo in the Diamanda Galas/Sainkho Namtchylak vein.
Unnecessary to say that the band was tight af.
Best concert ever.

Reposting it here because I want Mord to know and to be jealous.

Thanks Mindful mah dude.

I played a bit aggressive and tried to force a few shots out of the woods that screwed me up even worse. That cost me enough strokes to put me out of first, but my drives were real strong. I lost by 7.

It’s hard to understand why so many, maybe even the vast majority of people, think this should be the default situation. Even at your job, you’ll find that most of the people working 50 hours plus actually think they have a decent life and it’s basically fair.

Anyway, I’m back from my “camping” trip. I really enjoyed it even though I didn’t do what I had planned. I swam in the sea. I cooked on a grill. I watched the sunrise and took selfies with my dog. I didn’t hike around much at all though.

Do you hoop with a league? I went to see some friends play a “church league” game. It’s like 8 teams and they play each other at a gym on this large church’s campus. It’s not religious at all. They just call it church league because of where they play. It’s like a step up from pick up games. I was surprised they were pretty damn good. Full court with a ref and scoreboard. No coaches though but they had subs. I think each team had 8 players.

i would be all in for the bro https://boxden.com/images/icons/nHXEgl8-compressor.png

i dont play in the league but it would be good for me socially i bet. my school has a team i might check out, thanks for the idea. that church league sounds cool, all i do it shoot and run to get the ball. shoot again, repeat for an hour :o: then run around a track there until i cant anymore.

i am busy with work and school that i hoop only when its magically a nice day out and im free. but im trying to maintain weight so ill probably keep up all summer https://boxden.com/smilies/9A3iMkC.png

OccultHawk 05-13-2019 11:36 AM

If it’s a big college at all they probably have bad ass intramural stuff.

Get ready to be humbled though. If you play co-ed females will be juking your ass.

Disc Golf is great for low impact exercise, if you're not looking to get much cardio. Unless you're playing in a tournament and left your favorite disc on a previous hole and have to run and get it before your next turn to tee-off.

30 seconds, mother****er.

yeah i bet thats a lot of walking along the course. i get around 6600 steps during the hour of hooping. :beer: the hole in ones in disc golf seem so crazy.

I can understand. If I'm tired at work but someone else who's been working just as many hours isn't bitching I feel like I wanna keep up for the... "workplace camaraderie" or some ****. Showing that you can suffer along with everyone else and pull your own weight can be powerful social pressure. It's bull**** but it is what it is.

Plenty of free public courses, the only thing you need is one disc to start, and if you're socially anxious you can just take a walk in the woods by yourself while playing badass Frisbee. Also no one cares if you smoke weed so long as you aren't openly doing it near a road where anyone driving by can see you.

I just gave a coworker who wants to start playing regularly a starter set from some discs I wasn't using. A Star Aviar, broke-in Buzzz, Glow Meteor, and a brand-new-still-had-the-sticker-on-it Star Valk. In my experience that's a perfect set for someone just starting out. I told him to just use the mids until he gets comfortable with more control, then start ****ing up again with the Valk until he finally gets decent form down. That's how to build up to it and the right discs for it. Putter-only rounds are highly recommended too, but only after you shed the casual round mindset and strive for more power/control and the desire to throw past the horizon.

The Batlord 05-13-2019 03:12 PM

Never seen a Meteor or a Valk but if someone gave me a Buzzz I'd probably give them a slob. Same for anyone who gave me a Star anything tbh. Star discs are always my favs. The plastic is so nice to hold and they feel amazing slipping out of the hand like they're covered in butter. The one lost disc I will always mourn is my Star Destroyer (and not just for nerdy reasons).
