I had an employer try this on me too. I beat the claim in court by pointing out that people who quit don’t tend to bother showing up on time and ready to work at their next shift. Judge agreed with me. Shortly after I was offered about 80% of my claim as a settlement with the understanding that the taxes on the settlement would be paid by the company. Pretty good deal when I didn’t even have a lawyer ngl

Definitely a rabbit. Dude with Let Me Take Your Luggage is doing some pretty cool stuff ngl

Government employee here. It’ll actually be the 3rd. We work our shifts for the first 72 hrs after the shutdown and then we go home. We do get back pay for all the hours we would have worked after the budget is approved, so that’s nice. The service guys just have to keep working with no pay.

I approve

Comes on me phone. Comes on me chromebook. Simple as

Dnc has been entirely fucked since they froze out Bernie. That’s why Trump won.

You guys shit the bed. Shiess the bed. Whatever you sourkraut fuckers want to call it. It would have been easier to set yourselves on fire in a bunker. Fascism is as fascism does. Tell us “it’s for the greater good”. You’re just cutting away the undesirables. You admins do so much for our own good and we should be grateful you know so much better than we do. That’s why you have all those updoots

I read it, and it’s nutless. I’m hearing “we preemptively protected ourselves from legal liability, showing our willingness to do so again without notice or discussion. However, we pinky promise to not do it again unless we feel like it”. And what I’m inferring is that this platform will sell me out if it’s legally convenient for them. That’s not encouraging.

I think people know, but there’s this weird disconnect where it applies to bugs but not animals. Most kids know female mantis and spiders generally eat the males of their species, but far fewer know the realities of chickens or pigs. Always pretty easy to pick out the farm kids in biology class.

Farmers specifically have to be careful when sows give birth because they will sometimes just eat the piglets. But yeah, let’s make this about people forcing pigs to eat other pigs lmao

So everyone ITT just wants to ignore the fact that pigs are naturally cannibalistic? K cool beans guys

Too late! Farmers very often have to stop sows from eating their own piglets, and they don’t always get there in time. Pigs are naturally cannibalistic in the wild, which is part of what makes them such a nasty invasive species. They’re their own food source, at least in part.

The ads are what supports the developer. $20 to remove them is just a better bulk upfront deal than waiting for fractions of pennies to come together over time. The $100 version is a straight up grift though. I cannot overstate this, the ads are what supports the dev. There is nobody here not getting paid for their work.

$100 for an app is a cash grab no matter how you slice it. Period. End of discussion. $20 for ad free is arguable, but it’s way more donation than actual financial support of the devs. That’s what the ads are for. So yeah, imo asking for donations on top of ad revenue is grabbing for cash. The $100 version isn’t even debatable

Asking for $20-100 for an ad free experience and then couching it in terms of “devs gotta eat” is the cash grab. That’s why there are ads in the first place. The point I’m making is that trying to make it into a guilt trip is sleazy. There are all kinds of free, ad free alternatives. I’d personally recommend liftoff. They don’t have ads and they’re not out here trying to imply I’m taking food out of their mouth for using the app without “donating”.

Everybody in here is freaking out about devs having to eat are entirely missing the point that the devs are already eating thanks to ad revenue they introduced into their own app. Having to pay to remove ads isn’t supporting the dev because the dev is already supporting themselves with ads. Call the cash grab a cash grab if you want, but understand that this is what it is.

But can I hold my tension in your body instead?
