Other newbie's great though She rules She's like, almost exhaustingly sociable and stuff though, which sure does fit the job, but it's hard to read people like that cause I dunno how to tell if that's genuine, or because she's at work in a job that involves a lot of dealing with customers I don't dislike her though, she's fun in her own way

>>856041 the truth is that most people do not do very basic tasks particularly well and any level of competence and work ethic will often come off as very good your "bare minimum effort" is probably above other people's basic standard of effort
>>856048 How... how does this fucking machine keep the cogs turning, man?
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
just throw enough cogs in the machine and it'll be fine the truth is that the machine doesnt actually need the cogs to do very much it just needs them there to facilitate basic tasks how well those tasks are done hardly matters as long as they're done in many cases
S C
That's true, even in a machine, most of the cogs don't actually "move" themselves, they're just there to facilitate two other cogs
It's not like I'm at absolute minimum effort or nothing though, I'm trying to actually get Job, and also it'd be sick to be saddled with some sort of responsibility, so I'm more tempting to keep around
Related: I do like the other newbie girl, but I also dislike her being there She's really dependable and friendly, but that makes her a threat to me It's not like they're gonna need THAT many more people, short term, nobody's about to retire or nothing, so her having points up on me puts me in a bad spot where I wish she'd like... leave Despite enjoying her company
PANrela
I've had many coworkers I've liked as people but aboslutely hated having to work with and around.
S C
Like if I need someone to cover for me for a sec, or I need someone to do a thing for me cause I'm working the register, and I ring that bell to get Someone to come over, I'm always, always hoping it's her Cause I know if I ask her to do a thing, if she can she'll agree and she'll actually do it, and I don't gotta think about it
That's the case with really, everyone except the other newbie guy, but the people who've worked there for a while trend on the more prickly side If the other newbie guy shows up, I just hope someone else is also coming and gets to me before him, cause man I really can't trust him even though he seems to be kept around. He seems kinda... dense. >>856053 No I mean I love working with her, she's the best coworker I've... had, I think, in my life But that's exactly why her being there as another newbie is problematic, cause neither of us are like employed yet I'm there for a trial period, she's there as a summer job
If they need any more labor power after the summer, it's gonna be one of us, but unlikely as hell that it's both.
What I'm trying to get at is I'd be thrilled if we ended up as just coworkers at this store, like, both with an actual permanent place there That would own
But that's not gonna happen And her being so dilligent makes me worry about my own prospects
PANrela
just take her out back and ol' yeller her it's the only way
Even better! Find out what nefarious behavior he is involved in and get involved yourself! Join forces! Get the girl in on it. Paradise, everyone wins!
I don't think he's involved in anything more nefarious than being a capitalist
And she seems like the kind of person who'd have no part in such a scheme, either But, I can't tell if she's wearing like, a really heavy mask, or if that's actually how she's like
This is where you can take one out of the capitalist cabal rulebook. You just have to get someone to do one nefarious thing, then you use that to ensure they continue doing nefarious things. Eventually they get desensitized to it and just become nefarious.
well, joking aside, she's probably gonna end up being the person they call when they need some extra hands, and I'll be unemployed once more in like, 2-3 weeks
I may be decent at the stuff I'm asked to do, and I interact reasonably well with customers, but I think it's apparent it's kind of a, I dunno, show It's not really who I am, underneath
But maybe people don't read others as well as I expect, that's possible too It's hard to know sometimes if people are sorta playing along with euphemisms and stuff because they actually think that's what's meant, or if they know what you mean Yaknow? It's that kinda thing
S C
Maybe at least the work experience will give me some chances elsewhere though Not that I really understand how anything more than the cash register requires "training" or anything in a grocery store Well, beyond the more responsible stuff like ordering new stuff, managing people's hours, etc.
But like Stocking shelves? That's not a training thing, you just are told how to do it, and then you do it, and at most you improve in speed at doing it
Like Training makes it sound like you're learning the ins and outs of a system, you're really learning a new set of skills to deal with a set of tasks
When in reality you're just being instructed on a set way of doing things like When restocking anything with an expiry date, the new stuff goes behind everything, and anything past the date is thrown out cause it can't be sold For fruit, you just throw out the stuff that you wouldn't buy.

Though I do like when people buy them cause so many people do, it quickly became the second cash register code I can call up faster than I can the name of the actual thing My head goes 761 faster than it does "tomato" now The first is strawberry, which is 800 so it's kinda like, easy And everyone is buying strawberries Like, at least 80% of all transactions when I'm at that register involves strawberries
Learning those codes is kinda enjoyable though It feels a bit like a video game
You go takkatakka, the screen says the right thing, and you go "do you want the receipt?" Of course, nobody really does except a few, and you can usually tell by looking at them who they are, but you gotta ask anyway >>856077 Lotta blueberries, but more grapes than that really, at least at our place >>856078
That's because they're a wasteful company with no respect for their bottom line Receipts cost SOME money to print If you just give everyone one, that's really wasteful If only 10% of people, at a high estimate, even wants the fucking thing, you're just adding a cost to yourself on 90% of transactions for no reason other than to annoy your customers

People from our culture, we uh... I dunno, I think we have a more direct recognition that the people who work somewhere, they're paid to be there and they're there because they're paid to Like, even when talking about how people like or enjoy their work, there's an underlying recognition that they're still doing it BECAUSE they're paid to So someone just... greeting you at the door like that, as their job, that's unnerving. It feels humiliating I think that's really what it is It's like, you're almost apologetic to the guy, inside your own head, for sorta... being the reason he's made to stand there and go "Hello :D" at you

>A Wal-Mart greeter or Walmart greeter is a Walmart employee whose role is to wait at the front door of a Walmart store and to offer a warm "hello" to all shoppers who enter.[1] CEO and founder Sam Walton implemented the role nationally in the 1980s.[1] The position is considered to be a big part of the company's identity and culture,[2] as well as one of its most recognized hallmarks.[3]
>The idea of having dedicated greeters at the front door of a store may have come from an employee of the company, Lois Richard.[3] She was working in the early 1980s as an invoice clerk at the Walmart store in Crowley, Louisiana.[3][5] The Walmart store in Crowley, which had opened in 1980, was experiencing shoplifting and had a significant "inventory shrinkage" after two years.[3] The initial idea was to have an employee standing at the door in order to try to decrease shoplifting.[6] After a shoplifting sting conducted by the local police showed that piles of merchandise could have been taken away, Lois Richard pitched the idea the next day to her manager and it was accepted.[3][5]

>Enacted in 1949, the Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act and Regulations banned drivers from pumping their own gas in New Jersey, and the rules are still in effect. Like so many laws, the statute claims the ban is for drivers’ own good:
>Because of the fire hazards directly associated with dispensing fuel, it is in the public interest that gasoline station operators have the control needed over that activity to ensure compliance with appropriate safety procedures, including turning off vehicle engines and refraining from smoking while fuel is dispensed.
>>856136 But... but they can just not let you pump at their station
And also I mean ...nobody doesn't pump their own gas here, unless they're rich enough to have their own gas pumper guy

>>856136 it's true people struggle with both those things
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>But the government version may not be the whole story. The passage of the Act was motivated by something a little less pure than safety: money. In the 1940s, when self-service was unheard of in most of the country, a gas station owner named Irving Reingold offered lower prices to customers willing to pump their own gas. The gimmick was wildly popular and soon became a threat to competing gas stations. According to Bergen County's The Record, "rival station owners reacted by persuading state lawmakers to outlaw self-serve," and the state legislature made Reingold's tactics illegal. now it makes sense

sort of not really the thing with being a server/waiter/waitress whatever is that if you're getting tips over the minimum, you're not losing out or anything and it's more of an "instant cash" kind of job which is why it tends to attract all the wrong people >>856166 varies by how busy an establishment is there are weekend nights lately where some of the servers walk out with like $400 or something for context I work around 10 hours or so on those days and earn like $95 or something so >>856169 this is also true then there's some establishments that do "pooled" tips where all the servers put them together and split it evenly which sucks for the good likeable servers and let's the shitty ones that treat their customers badly get away with it

And the NUMBER CODES Man's asked for the tomato code like 15 times in 5 minutes But I can forgive this, for I needed a lot of help with those at the start, too, cause they're not logical or nothing Like apples you've got 717, 720, 721 and 726 for different color apple That's nonsensical
Also he's uh, real black, so one of the local druggies who usually comes in and wants to pay exactly the amount he's got on his card, and get the rest in cash came in and that guy... he wasn't thrilled about the black dude, and there was a massive fucking line I had to deal with as my superviser tried to handle that situation Judging by his voice, I gather he's a heroin addict

You're streaming it?
!C0.PerkELE
nah and it would be 100% in finnish so
S C
I was just wondering cause the icon in the top left
!C0.PerkELE
is just the roll20 thing
S C
Ah, makes sense I might get into roll20 eventually, now that I live alone and have more time to myself But it'll have to be in the weekends
That sounds fun Though again, only weekends are even doable for me regularly, because of my unpredictable schedule
!C0.PerkELE
well just in case you are intrested, in maybe a month or two or something ton is launching a new campaign and I think there is currently only 3 of us players
!C0.PerkELE
tho so far our schedule has been sunday 2:30 finnish time *MONDAY so it would be 1:30 in the night for you
I guess paying attention to this kinda thing is something I should do though

>>856433 i am not sure, since I never confirmed it myself, but I recall hearing that they cancelled a sixth pirates due to the 18 amber thingie but then again, with how badly the 5th one performed compared to the earlier ones, it might have just been cancelled because of that
S C
I'm stunned it's even still a thing These movies were already a franchise when I was in high school
Anno
Any excuse to cancel something is better than having to say your production sucked ass.
!C0.PerkELE
deed and I think by that time depp hated acting as sparrow onscreen

They were going to do another Pirates but it is going to be a new story with new characters and stuff. Margot Robbie is in it.
Anno
Ah that could be fun. I wonder if they'll do something like have her be Anne Bonny or that other famous female pirate.
3700 more super energy potions until im 85 and then i can use a garden pie to boost to 90 herblore and make a supercombat potion which is the last step i need for the varock elite achievement diary and then i'll be eligible to receive 120 discounted battle staffs per 24 hours instead of the 60 im receiving now from the hard diary and then i can sell them to the GE to make a fat profit.
if you were trying to gauge "peak" times with the highest number of players/users would you base it on American east coast time or American west coast time?

her final story line WHICH YOU STILL HAVE TO UNLOCK BY THE WAY, DESPITE HER ACTUALLY HAVING HER MEMORIES, she says that she never actually died, instead she found a way to make herself immortal by fusing with the shadowless. So she's like half-human/half-spirit and it keeps her from dying And I was like "wait, I thought everyone was dead." And now I'm reading THIS.
here's how you accidentally beat Oninaki mash A through the dialogue and accidentally choose the option that dooms the world because it's the first one.

Thinking I might fuck around and make myself a list of the prices for stuff I actually buy for each grocery store, so when I make a shopping list, I actually make one for each store Every now and then there's like, a deal on something or other, too
shopping here is ALL about the bogos you go to the store and you never know what you're gonna leave with because you gotta go for the bogos even if it's a brand you don't like you gotta get it if it's the bogo pretty much every product will have one brand that's bogo at any time so you just gotta roll the dice and hope the brand you like is the bogo one
get this, the other day, i went to the store, and all of my favorite brands were bogo my favorite potato chips, my favorite ice cream, my favorite bread it was so good
for meat i always get whatever cut of beef is on sale
my favorite thing to cook is fajitas i use soy sauce and mirin and it's really good sweet fajitas i like all my meat sweet so i use mirin a lot ah that reminds me i forgot to grab curry stuff
Nearly an entire year since I struggled on that fight That first boss. And now I beat the same boss in the Rebirth Sanctum in like 30 seconds. the power
I don't really know much about vtubers A lot of the appeal appears to boil down to something like "Rikka's cute sounds from chuu2 compilation 10 hours", but it's played over footage of a video game

Which I mean, I recognize I watch SOME livestreamers myself, but the ones I watch have good bant s

>>856608 that's the appeal for the audience that don't know japanese at least
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i only know anything about two of them and that's because ton tells me about them constantly
>>856651 they just use facerig it's all live imposed over their bodies
S C
Yeah but you can't just facerig that whole thing
Besides in a lot of the clips I've seen, the facerig just bugs out anyway
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
no you can now they have full 3d bodies that are highly responsive extremely impressive
ToN
yeah like while hololive does the full 3d in studio, nijisanji's supports it at home though it's way more jank
ToN
>>856642 hololive may be officially an idol agency but their girls can get away with a lot it's a recurring joke that the ceo yagoo is riddled with blood pressure issues >>856659 oh yeah totally hololive's male department is holostars and nijisanji isnt idols so theyre not separated
Are there vtubers who aren't girls? Or is it girls only?
And I mean the avatars, I know some of the actual people are dudes with voice changers
S C
They're not nearly as popular tho, I take it, since I haven't ever seen one
ToN
holostars is definitely lower in popularity i cant speak for nijisanji's since i know less about them
if youre still a fan of otoko no ko stuff theres Tamaki but it's well known that they're their own artist Norio who is absolutely a girl >>856663 both
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i see thm on no context vtubers sometimes but idk anything about them
S C
Are they also primarily Cute Guys, or are they like, a different thing like Handsome Guys, or Masculine Guys? Cause all the girl vtubers are either Cute Girls or, seemingly, Cute Girl (but she has a raspy voice and talks about dildos)
Yes Kaoru is super into cosmetics and stuff and apparently dresses pretty irl in addition to the character
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
these are all normal everyday people
S C
Yeah that doesn't seem like it has anything to do with Japan's whole sterilization programme or anything, to me >>856674 From what I understand, trans people are tremendously fucked in Japan still, so I was really just hinting at maybe this guy's a guy on paper because it's easier Though, I mean it's fine to just be a hyperfemme dude
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
sterilization program?
ToN
If nothing else Kaoru doesn't strike me as trans specifically because he still put male on his intro info
Kirara 🍄 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>856673 trans people are fine in japan what do you mean
i forget who but a big time voice actor recently came out as transman and got nothing but support even on twittet
S C
So are like, most vtubers people who auditioned, or are most like Ai and they kinda got recruited, I guess? Cause Ai was a thing before this became an industry IIRC >>856678 I must be misinformed, I guess
>>856679 they do auditions yeah i almost applied to be one for hololive EN as a joke but didn't tried to get ton to but he refused even though he'd be good at it
ToN
a close friend of mine actually did audition though
another thing i want to mention is some of them do stay some level in character like when Lize teared up (nijisanji) because the dad phone call in earthbound hit close to home, she still referred to him as the ruler of the fictional place shes from
in recent times it seems ai has managed to pull things back, because as with some of these sorts of corporations, they wanted to start making changes that their stars werent ok with
theres a vtuber i wasnt aware of who has recently come back and after not wanting to make certain changes, her company actually didnt pay her for like 6 months until she announced she had to quit
!C0.PerkELE
i am quite sure they tried ti ditch the og ai during the "what is kizuna ai" and introduction of the two+1 othet ais but there was a fuckton of push back so i guessthey didn't go with it
!C0.PerkELE

Bottom left in the human square
I misremembered how he looks to, to be fair, and I can't get any good images because everything on google is from the fucking fanwiki, and that's all in some obscure file format
ToN
Oh i have no idea who that hololive is but now i do remember who youre talking about
S C
I'm also gathering Luna isn't hololive
ToN
Yeah she was one of the ogs before hololive existed hololive is like 2 years old or something along those lines
I was talking about Luna >>856736 In at least some fiction, they're considered their own thing Even if usually as just a subcategory of human
Anno
Would you relinquish your humanity to gain power over arcane secrets
S C
Probably
Anno
Yeah same
S C
It depends what I can do with that power though, obviously If it amounts to being able to pull a rabbit out of a hat or do card tricks, I might pass even if those are also impressive
Anno
What good is having humanity though. If I can acquire literally anything for something worthless why wouldn't I

>>856748 From what I understand it's confirmed that there's a novelization coming out, but Makoto Shinkai's movies have pretty much always had accompanying novelizations, the material that went into writing the script for the movie. They can be pretty neat and elaborate on some stuff that might've been under-explained in the movies.
I love the Split reality: The eidolon splits the party into different realities. Each player rolls a d4 for their character. That PC can only perceive and interact with the eidolon and with other characters who rolled the same number. That means PCs in different realities can’t communicate or affect each other in any way. For the rest of the battle, each player rolls a d4 at the start of the round to see which reality their character is now in. At the start of each round, the eidolon can choose which version(s) of reality its allies are in. ability it has

>>131583 → I've only had cat in my apartment for like a year or so. I found out a lot of things, like the age at which I put my cat in my fridge, and the date my cat was born.
My cat doesn't have the ability to be happy, so I don't have the need to buy her a big breakfast or anything. I don't really have a good need for a cat anyhow.
Anno
?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
I don't really like cats. I wish I had one, though. Like I can get a dog or maybe a cat from a vet too. I don't care if one or two cats are good.
I don't really get cat-influences either.
You mean, your cat is a good cat?
If it's a good Cat, I'm going to do it.

Are you sure they're all normal humans? It's all kinds of diseases because we have a massive reservoir of human stuff, like the immune system, the brain, and the immune system that is kind of unique and specialized. There aren't even so many people that would get the same thing, either. Even some of the most dangerous diseases are ones that we've got a large reservoir of immune-system stuff on.

It has been a long time since I've seen this in person. Neko or Monogatari? Oh but Monogatari is about people who have a simple life. It's about people who live and die so naturally they can't be taken advantage of.
