homesweethomeMrL , in More than 30 bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, after false pets claims

“False claims”!! They’re not even talking about a single person! There’s zero chance they’ll be sued and they STILL can’t say “Lie”!

Pathetic!

Kyrgizion , in Officer Demoted After Writing Traffic Tickets Gets $175,000 Settlement

He better watch his back. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he was suddenly and unexpectedly taken out by a “random” perp…

some_guy , in Disney trips meant for homeless students went to NYC school employees' kids, officials say

The special commissioner’s office recommended that Wilson and the other staff members faulted in the report be fired and that they be required to reimburse the school system for their family members’ trips.

Wilson told the Post that she retired and was not fired.

Department of Education spokesperson Jenna Lyle said in a statement, “All staff identified in this report are no longer employed by New York City Public Schools.”

Criminal charges are required here.

steventhedev , in Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week

Hopefully everyone else watches the fallout of this and don’t follow suit.

I’m surprised the insurance companies haven’t forced companies to walk back their RTO policies. More sick days, more injuries, more medical expenses.

itsgroundhogdayagain ,

On the contrary, they will let Amazon take the hit, wait for the news cycle to change, and then do the same thing. You know, for the culture!

Insurance companies can’t match real estate prices of the office buildings they own AND the tax incentives large cities are giving them to force their ppl back

steventhedev ,

tax incentives large cities are giving them to force their ppl back

I can understand some executive being out of touch and deciding that it’s worth the personnel hit to do full RTO, but tax incentives would explain a lot more of it. Reading that made me irrationally angry for a moment - because that’s super fucked

aredditimmigrant ,

This is one of the conspiracy theories I believe in.

Most tech workers buy lunch in their local area. If they wfh, they’ll make lunch and not spend money. Meaning less commerce in the city… Makes city look bad.

Also, if you’re coming to said city, if you can choose to live 2 hours north, suddenly that choice looks terrible from a quality of life pov. You’ll likely rent/buy a place in said city. Keeping real estate values higher. (This is another value that benefits both govt and company since they so big they own the majority of buildings they use)

You see what we pay teachers these days? They could be teachers kids AND homeless…

Havald ,

Cool motive, still nepotism

jonne ,

I bet the employees weren’t teachers.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It says staff members in the article, so likely not teachers. The one named definitely isn’t.

flicker ,

They weren’t teachers. They worked in an office to support homeless students. It was mostly the manager of said office, though she “encouraged other staffers” to do the same.

N0body , in Sean 'Diddy' Combs arrested

Here we fucking go. We’re about to find out how far down that rabbit hole goes.

The right wingers get almost everything wrong, but I 100% believe that the 1% in America are into all kinds of fucked up shit. The rule of law has failed, and their money and power has insulated them from consequences.

TwoBeeSan ,

Went full deep dive when epstein was going on. Agreed.

Not ‘the Jews’ but the israelis.

Israeli gov intelligence, NGO firm NSO (pegasus virus), etc have dirt on everyone, I’m sure.

Epstein and the Maxwell family were mossad op(erative)s

Edit: from my reply below:

…com.au/…/jeffrey-epstein-was-a-mossad-spy-says-i…

rollingstone.com/…/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenb…

Four separate sources told me — on the record — that Epstein’s dealings in the arms world in the 1980s had led him to work for multiple governments, including the Israelis.

nixfreak ,

WTF no they weren’t

Microw ,

Except there is literally no evidence for Epstein being an Mossad op. People are pulling that solely out of the relationship of Maxwell sr to the Mossad.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

There’s evidence of Epstein getting a plea deal for being an FBI informant.

Epstein had hidden cameras in his houses.

Epstein had hard drives and CDs labeled with Young [Name] + [Name].

And you can’t just dismiss Epstein => Ghislaine Maxwell => Robert Maxwell => Mossad.

Epstein obviously gained his wealth by dealing in kompromat. What we don’t know is the level of state sponsorship.

Dont turn “the Mossad” into “the Jews” because thats racist af. Israel and its state arms are behind many horrible things that shouldnt be conflated with non zionist Jews.

TwoBeeSan ,

Lord no.

Rich people have connections to states. He specially appears to have been a mossad agent.

Not trying to insuate that junk about jews controlling the world.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Speaking as a Jew- you’re trying too hard.

LordGimp ,

Not all Jews are Mossad, but all Mossad are Jews. I wish we could start seeing the “not all jews” excuses in exactly the same light as “not all men” coming from incenls.

SkyezOpen ,

It’s known he used to work for them, so not really compelling conspiracy material. If you believe what Acosta said about epstein though, that’s some gas.

Duamerthrax ,

I mean, it’s their first accusation because they are there when it happens. They’re trying to get in front of the story and make noise so when the pictures of Epstein and Trump together get released, they can just hand wave it as Trump investigating Epstein even know there’s never been anything like that released.

That’s exactly what happened in my opinion.

MudMan ,

I don't know. I mean, he does sound like he catches himself, and he isn't that good of an actor. But then, who the hell has that just... ready to go to the point where it just blurts out by itself? Like, how often do you have to say that out loud for it to just hijack your train of thought? It's almost less damning if he did it on purpose, honestly.

I no longer blame him for fleecing his stupid cultists. I don’t care how much they harm themselves any longer, as they are hateful pieces of shit. I only mind that he benefits from it.

yeah im sorry when they bend over, reach behind, grab it, then stick it in themselves. I can hardly blame him.

atzanteol , in Trump Barely Mentions Crypto During Interview About Cryptocurrency.

So it’s an exchange. And they’ll have their own scam-coin like all exchanges which they’ll push you to use so they can inflate the value.

Push it more and more towards universal basic income, with Chipotle’s help.

Taco Bell tried to do this in the 90s.

This article is light on the details of the failures, but basically the little bits of lettuce, tomato and cheese would slip out of the various holders and get smashed into the moving pieces and jam everything up while starting to rot. It was broken more often than not, and even when it wasn’t it was a pain in the ass to keep sanitary. Far more trouble than it was ever worth.

Building these machines and operating them won’t be the hard part. Keeping them working will be more expensive than paying people to make food for a halfway decent wage. The necessary logistics system just to supply replacement parts for the machines will probably break the bank, and never mind all the technicians they’ll need to make repairs.

grue ,

Something something McDonalds milkshake machines.

BakerBagel ,

The difference os that yhe milkshake machines are an actual gift because Taylor gets paid to repair the things. Some exec at McDonald’s is getting massive kickbacks to force everyone to use shitty machines that need to be professionally maintained.

VirtualOdour ,

Automation has evolved a huge amount since the 90s, probably more than the mobile.phone has. This sort of device has been common in food factories for quite a while now and is inevitably moving into first high-volume then after refinement canteen kitchens before slowly making its way into the home.

It’s a great thing if it does, the food industry is hugely wasteful especially when trying to lower overheads which also lowers quality and healthiness of diets. Multistage processing allows near to raw ingredients to be sourced locally and used as needed thus avoiding the need for chemical preservatives, pre-proceasing and all the transport logistics, added risk, and etc. Cheap food places could go back to the days of getting fresh produce delivered rather than bags of presliced and shaped meal components from a factory - that’d be huge amounts of plastic and oil use removed from our global consumption.

Of course this installed device is probably just fairly basic pick and place using preshaped meal components but it’s a step in the evolution of small-scale industrial kitchens which will eventually benefit us all.

NaibofTabr ,

Automation has evolved a huge amount since the 90s

This is true, and we have smaller, lighter and more accurate motors, and fancy tools machine vision with object identification, and substantially better electronics.

I don’t think it matters. Nothing has changed in food ingredients - they’re squishy, slippery, soft and irregular. If you put just a little too much pressure on a cooked grain of rice it will turn into a two-inch-long smear of starch that other things will stick to, and then you’ve got a little pile of gunk inside your machine. The more complex these machines are the more impossible it will be to keep them clean on the inside.

I remember when this burger making robot was getting a lot of attention (apparently they were “the definition of disruption”). Their restaurant location in Daly City (Creator Burger) closed during the pandemic but then reopened with a simpler version:

Gone from this version of Creator’s robot, however, are the automated toppings like lettuce, tomato and cheese, which humans will now apply to the burger themselves.

Give you one guess why.

The company is now dead, their domain is abandoned and the restaurant location is permanently closed, although apparently they managed to sell one to a Sam’s Club in Arkansas last year. Wonder how that’s going for them now.

kent_eh ,

It might be a great thing if it wasn’t displacing so many workers.

Unless and until some sort of UBI system exists, I cannot applaud businesses increasingly putting people out of work, especially while continually increasing their profits.
