capitalism is a failure of a system and need to be completely abolished
>store says they're hiring
>50 people apply
>30 don't hear back from them
>19 get told they "don't meet the qualifications"
>one single person gets hired
>store gives them way to much work for one person
>new employee says that they need to hire more people
>"what are you talking about? we have enough people working in your department"
>but no you actually don't. you have one single person working at a time. I only work mornings, every single morning. other guy only works afternoons, every single afternoon. what happens when one of us is sick?
>also, what if I'm busy with something else like stocking, and a customer needs my help? what then? you're asking me to work five people's jobs at once. so either pay me five times my salary or hire four other people
>"no. you're fired"
mfw
>go to that store later to buy something
>no one is working at the department I worked at
>end up waiting 40 minutes to buy something
>don't blame the cashier. he was pulled away to do something else. it's the bosses fault for not hiring more people
>as I leave there are "we're hiring" signs plastered all over the door
what a fucking load of massive bull shit

What's your opinion on barn cats/mousers? Are they an acceptable subset of "outdoor cat"?
Certainly barn cats pose the same problem as pets that live in more urban environments. They still hunt birds, spread disease, out-compete native wildlife— all that bad stuff. In an ideal world barn cats wouldn't exist so those things would all stop happening. I don't think harmful, invasive species are in any way "acceptable" and I definitely wouldn't encourage it.
At the same time though I do think sometimes the barn cat solutions proposed on tumblr (hiring ratting terriers among some other ideas) also seem a little... unrealistic. At least given my personal experience with farms and farmers, particularly in places far less populated and more remote than the USA. Asking people to get rid of their barn cats cold-turkey is an approach I think would see more pushback than progress.
Working towards better welfare for barn cats and restricting their impact on the environment through education, low cost spay/neuter/vaccine programs and limiting cats' range to the barn buildings only seem like more attainable goals right now. Barn cats are not good for the environment or the cat, but I think we need to take a more gradual approach to the issue than a rip-off-the-bandaid solution in order to make progress. As animal welfare laws continue to develop and indoor cats become the norm in urban areas I think that will also encourage the transition from rural outdoor cats to indoor ones as well.

in the fnaf universe do we think that Funtime Freddy, Glamrock Freddy, Sun, and Moon are all voiced by like.. a vocaloid/voice bank?? where either Afton/Fazbear Entertainment bought a voice bank or they hired an in-universe Kellen Goff to make one? and then modified the original Funtime Freddy voicebank to get more use out of it without spending more money? and just bought/made new voice banks for the other Glamrocks?
or do we think that Afton hired an in-universe Kellen Goff (and other voice actors) to read a script to be programmed into his animatronics, where upon gaining sentience/getting possessed the Funtimes were able to use/build upon their pre-programmed lines with the same thing happening to the Glamrocks, where they gained sentience/became alive and were able to analyze and modify their own voices like AI voices?
or do we think it might be a combination, where Afton specifically hired voice actors for the Funtimes, but by the time Fazbear Entertainment were making the Pizzaplex animatronics, they either re-hired the same guy to keep continuity (Frank Welker is living proof that 50 years is NOTHING if you're a good voice actor) OR did they do the thing with AI voices where they INTENTIONALLY fed all the pre-recorded lines from Funtime Freddy into a program and then fine-tuned the results to get 3 more voices out of that without paying anyone
this is for nothing but my own curiosity bc I started thinking how cool it was that Kellen is the canon Freddy voice, but then I started wondering about the Implications
y'know what, here's a poll, what's YOUR headcanon??

(zookeeper au) eiden: hey yakumo why do you always use the stall
rei: damn can't imagine asking someone why they pee the way they do. why do you show your dick to pee. imagine being so overconfident in your ability to piss you just stand and make a mess on the floor for a janitor to clean up (THIS DIVERSION WAS MADE BY 1/3 OF THE CLOACA CREW)
TSJFSFK THAT WAS MY INMMEDAITE THOUGHT -->defensive rei (bc i instinctively project my personal reaction as the first rxn)
if eiden's all "why are you shy yakumo? u can pee right next to me 🥰" *pats urinal next to him*
i can imagine rei walking into the room with 1 of 3 reactions:
Fight Mode: "imagine asking someone what they do in the toilet. i could report u for sexual harassment" <- he would not, bc rei ain't a snitch, but i can imagine rei sassing eiden bc he feels like it
Apathy Mode: "i use the stall too. it's nbd. this is unimportant." (continues with his life, uncaring)
Generous Mode: "you're curious? come in here and i'll show u"

Real character growth is thinking weed is the Worst Drug On the Planet as a kid and growing up going "Actually, while weed itself has both negative and positive effects for different people for different reasons, we should talk about how the substance itself is used to demonize and imprison poor people, and you KNOW it's aimed even moreso at people of color, of Black and Latino people ESPECIALLY, all for your local Senator to get the shit shipped to their house and accept the taxes it brings in by the-"
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, Mr. Fucking Anslinger.
