REMINDER: luigi mangione has been accused of killing the CEO, not convicted, and the evidence presented is extremely questionable. luigi mangione is NOT the claims adjuster until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law, and the widespread presumption of his guilt makes it much more likely he will be falsely convicted.

I’ve been listening to the people in the apartment below me have arguments for two years now and I still can’t figure out what language they’re speaking. The best I can narrow it down is like if Portuguese and Hebrew had a baby. Is that a common pidgin combination

I just listened to a clip of this and jesus christ you fucking got it. there are like 3500 people in the whole united states who speak this and two of them are in a very fraught marriage four feet below me

question! if a workplace is violating labor laws (which they often are) is there anything that prevents an employee from:

  1. printing out copies of the laws being violated, maybe with helpful highlights/summaries
  2. (and a helpful reporting hotline, if possible)
  3. taping these signs anonymously in the employee bathroom stalls

i know retaliation is something many workers worry about, but bathrooms at least still don't have security cameras. so is this a practical and anonymous thing to do? and if so, why isn't it more common?

They can't have cameras inside the bathrooms, but they can have them pointing to the entrance of the bathrooms. They can figure out who put them up based on what time people went in and out. It would probably work the first couple of times, but retaliation would catch up pretty quick.

Tips if you do want to try something like this:

Don't create it/print it at work or use company paper/tape - there's a time to steal and there's a time to be sneaky. This is sneaky time.

Hide the paper & tape before you arrive (purse, pocket, etc)

Do it during busy bathroom times - start of the day / during breaks when lots of people are coming and going

Be quick and silent

Don't say anything to anyone about what you're up to

  • paper is easy to hide wrapped around the thigh/torso areas. which is a weird sentence to type but yeah.
  • print shops (and LIBRARIES!) exist and can be quite cheap
  • you can do one stall at a time (which helps the aforementioned security camera thing)

How am I only just learning this!?
