My brother and I did that to our dad when we were kids.

The problem with that prank is that the toothpaste is much softer than the creme, so it's pretty obvious something is amiss. Perhaps letting it sit for a day might work, I don't know.

My dad still ate it, though it could have been just to make us happy.

Wait, why did "Mason" donate to the ACLU?
04-02-2017 , 03:28 AM
Mason <3's Trump because apparently taxes and gambling.

I considered donating in my mother's name and her boyfriend's for Christmas in lieu of buying gifts but I punked out.

The weird part about it is that even when I went to university (which was a long time ago) the university had turned completely into a degree mill taking in anyone that could pay and ****ting out tons of lazy stupid idiots with generous "Cs" that I wouldn't want working at my company, even in a dead end job. University has been a poor proxy for workplace potential for years and years.

Setting aside whether this is true (and, of course, at the extreme it's not: selective universities are just that), it doesn't have to be a great proxy, it just has to be enough of a signal that it's usable.

When there are plenty of young, unemployed college graduates, what's the incentive to look for young, unemployed people without that credential? If you are on the side of the argument that "college degrees are worthless" then it's not like you have to pay more for the credentialed applicants...

It just has to be effective enough that it saves some work for whoever in HR is sorting resumes at your comapny for that "dead end" job.

New study by two economists saying automation is going to lead to more job loss than they thought just a year ago. They used to be of the opinion that creative destruction would take hold and lead to newer jobs but for now they aren't so sure about it.

X-posting because I think some of you will get a kick out of this:

I'm working in ****ing bizarro world.

I have this coworker who is a racist moron. Hard-core trump, he dresses up as an SS officer for halloween every year, constantly harasses other employees and works the lowest position at the company without ever having advanced. He uses racial slurs and has had a confederate flag as his FB profile pic for over a year. Sometimes he wears a SS officer replica hat that has the double lightning symbol (don't know the name of it) that's a symbol for the SS, and in his dumbass mind i think he thinks it's ok because it's not a swastika. Anyway, keep in mind he deals with the public here. This has been going on for 10+ years.

So, some newer employee mentions to the racist coworker how he heard he was a nazi. Coworker loses his mind, wants to know who said this, etc. The new guy said "uhh, everyone" and my idiot coworker got it in his head that I was going around telling everyone that, and that I think that "just because we hold opposite political views." So he tells my boss.

lol. So, for the record, I didn't say this about him, but it's a well known fact because uhhh just look what he wears to work for one. So my boss approaches me tonight, and I **** you not, reprimands me and asks me to "please refrain from using political speech in the workplace, particularly 'neo-nazi.'"

I lost my mind. I told him about the SS hat, the racist speech, etc., reiterated that no I ****ing did not say that about him recently but if I did I would not have one ****ing problem with it, and I don't want to work for a company that's okay with this behavior. He tried to backwheel and just said "ok so you didn't say it, that's good, we're done" and I said NO that's not the ****ing point, the ****ing point is you've had an employee that's worked here for a decade that wears a SS hat to work and you reprimand me for saying "nazi" to him, which I didn't. He said "I can't keep up to date on all the symbolism, there's always new things I'm not aware of" and I said "well let me give you a history lesson then, that symbol represents the organization that was responsible for the murder of millions, and you have an employee that wears it to work regularly."

Pretty much ended with him saying he'd talk to the coworker about wearing hate symbols and thanked me for being honest and upfront with him and to please tell him if I hear or see anything else in the future. What a moron.

Why not quit if the company is so dumb as to have an open neo-nazi employee for so long and a boss who is clearly a moron?

Somewhat surprised, but I guess I shouldn't be. Stupidity has no borders.
