To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.

Even in stores that sell guns.
I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Charging to tour rental properties...English59·23 days agoMy wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.
The only valid response, IMO.
The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.

Because it doesn’t directly affect them yet.
“Then they came for my coffee”, and all that.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•I have dozens. I can't let go.English12·1 month agoI worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.
A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.
I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
Just a guess, but when the person you’re replying to says “nestle” they mean “the company of nestle, it’s employees and all their bullshit” rather than “this specific person from the company” like most people…
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don’t own.
It’s always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a movie you can watch often and it never gets old?English17·1 month agoEvolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they’re making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they’re working on. I mean, who doesn’t love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It’s fun, it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.
The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.
You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Memes@sopuli.xyz•Would you rather unionize or buy some videogames?English55·1 month agoMy last employee orientation really didn’t like me saying to the group of 10 or so “anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren’t allowed to discuss wages”
And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying “guys we aren’t supposed to talk about wages” when the topic came up one day and “I’m gonna get a manager” when the discussion continued.
man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID
Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid
this instance was just particularly memorable.
A nurse once told me to “mind my own fucking business” when I said “are you fucking kidding me?” to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

I’d like to think I’m funny though…
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli Settlers Beat American to Death in Illegally Occupied West Bank: Family, Health MinistryEnglish1·2 months agoWell, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn’t posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.
Which YouTube guy would I be?
Oh my god so much yes.
Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.
