I'm surprised Intel hasn't gotten into the planned obsolescence game yet. If your CPU goes out, the easiest, cheapest solution is always a drop-in replacement. Not like you can easily switch to a different brand. Just par for the course for the race to the bottom.

They're being paid minimum wage. It's not a great job.

Edit: And apparently they split their tips with the people working in the restaurant too, so I really feel like this is just exploitation.

OMG I fucking died at Ace Attorney

The two examples in the headline are dollar stores which infamously have a huge margin on their inventory. You'd think these would be the retailers who are affected the least by "shrink" but I'm no economist so what do I know.

For whole blood, I've only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I'm a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It's honestly not worth it at all, but if you're broke it's easier than many other options. The place was full of the "undesirables" of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.

Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.

Surely this decision will be a net positive for the average American and won't be used as part of a malicious scheme to widen the wealth gap. /s

This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.

This was my strategy every time. It never worked out great, because there's usually a reason people don't want to be paired up with whoever you end up with.

The dude tried to hang himself in duress. I really don't think this is the appropriate line of reasoning.

Please let this be real

Okay, why is nobody else asking why this is an image of a monitor?

Voyager has a setting to show a baby emoji next to the name of a user if their account is less than a month old and an account age. Probably one of the best features I've ever seen for immediately recognizing troll accounts.
