I'm in the hamburger mines of capitalism and found out that my job is planning to try and outsource my position to remote randos across the country and I'm like. CEO-boy do you have any idea how many regulations I have to take into account not just on a state-level but also on a county and municipality level. None of which is information included in the training.

This isn't even a case where someone would fuck it up just cuz it's complex to get right, this is a case where someone wouldn't even know what they don't know. And it's a lot of information to not know they don't know, because these poor remote guys are going to be covering a bunch of states with finicky and ultra-specific building codes, not even just my own!

Anyways wish my store a very Rest in Piss when this comes back to extremely bite them in the ass, because it's gonna be funny as fuck.

E.P. Thompson explains the charivari’s motivation in eighteenth-century Britain:

"Publicity was of the essence of punishment. It was intended, for lesser offences, to humiliate the offender before her or his neighbours, and in more serious offences to serve as example (480).

...

A rough music was a licensed way of releasing hostilities which might otherwise have burst beyond any bounds of control … The argument that rough music rituals were a form of displacement of violence – its acting out, not upon the person of the victim, but in symbolic form – has some truth … Rough music did not only give expression to a conflict within a community, it also regulated that conflict within forms which established limits and imposed restraints’ (486).

...

... the rough music charivari ‘announces disgrace, not as a contingent quarrel with neighbours, but as judgement of the community. What had before been gossip or hostile glances becomes common, overt, stripped of the disguises which, however flimsy and artificial, are part of the currency of everyday intercourse … The victim must go out into the community the next morning, knowing that in the eyes of every neighbour and of every child he or she is seen as a person disgraced. It is therefore not surprising that rough music, except in its lightest forms, attached to the victim a lasting stigma’ (487–8)

...

‘Even where no “court” of judgement existed, the essential attribute of rough music appears to be that it only works if it works: that is, if (first) the victim is sufficiently “of” the community to be vulnerable to disgrace, to suffer from it: and (second) if the music does indeed express the consensus of the community – or at least of a sufficiently large and dominant part of the community … to cow or to silence those who, while perhaps disapproving of the ritual, shared in some degree the same disapproval of the victim’ (491–2).

...

‘Rough music could also be an excuse for a drunken orgy or for blackmail … It is a property of a society in which justice is not wholly delegated or bureaucratised, but is enacted by and within the community … And the psychic terrorism which could be brought to bear … was truly terrifying’ (530).

...

Rough music belongs to a mode of life in which some part of the law belongs still to the community and is theirs to enforce … It indicates modes of social self-control and the disciplining of certain kinds of violence and anti-social offence … which in today’s cities may be breaking down. But when we consider the societies which have been under our examination, one must add a rider. Because law belongs to people, and is not alienated, or delegated, it is not thereby made more ‘nice’ and tolerant, more cosy and folksy. It is only as nice and tolerant as the prejudices and norms of the folk allow. Some forms of rough music disappeared from history in shadowy complicity with bigotry, jingoism and worse … For some of its victims, the coming of a distanced (if alienated) Law and a bureaucratised police must have been felt as a liberation from the tyranny of one’s ‘own.’ (530–1) - quotes from E. P. Thompson, Customs in common. New York: New Press, 1993.

I worked at an amusement park for 6 years, mostly as a ride operater. It was quite a few years ago, but I feel like reminiscing, so here are a few of my favourite things customers said. Most of them happened to me, but a few are 'greatest hits' from stories shared in the break room.

Breaking news: Water is wet

"I got wet! My clothes are soaked!"

Yes, that is sort of the point, it's why this ride is full of water.

"Well there should be some kind of warning!"

Somehow, pointing out the huge sign saying YOU MAY GET SPLASHED didn't help. 

This one happened regularly.

If you get scammed by a ghost, that's on you

"I already paid!"

I'm not that stupid. You're waiting in line, I know you didn't pay yet.

"No no, I paid your colleague, just like I did earlier today"

What, the one whose shift ended 2 hours ago, when the rush died down? 

"She's still there, I swear"

Sure. Look, you're clearly too drunk for this anyway, go back to my colleague and ask for a refund.

7 ways to (not) make your child taller

No shift went by without at least one argument over children not being tall enough. I'm still surprised so many people hate basic safety regulations.

"If the height requirement is 120cm then clearly 119cm should be fine too"

Try following that logic a little further and see if you can spot the problem. 

"We've been standing in line for an hour!"

And that wasn't enough time for them to get taller. Maybe read the sign first next time. 

"His brother is tall enough, they can go in together"

A nine-year-old can not save a six-year-old from falling out of a rollercoaster.

"It's fine, I'm sure *this* will take care of it"

Bribes don't make your children taller. 

"Do you know who I am?"

Being a celebrity doesn't make your children taller.

"Just stand on tiptoes when they measure you, sweety"

First, that is the oldest trick in the book. We know, we check. Second, you're right in front of me, I can hear you.

"But they said she was tall enough just yesterday"

If she shrunk that much in a day, you should probably call a doctor.

Not how rain works

"The seats are wet"

I know, it's raining.

"Can't you dry them?"

I could, but won't. Because it's raining.

Safety precautions make me feel unsafe

"Closing down the ride for 20 minutes and then opening it up again makes people really worried. It's unacceptable!"

Okay, if we can't call a technician just to check if something out of the ordinary is a problem or not, what do you want us to do instead? Would you really feel safer if we just ignored things like that? Do you want us to close down a perfectly safe ride for the rest of the day to make you feel better? Are you paying for that?

I get that being reminded of accidents isn't fun, especially when you're in an amusement park, and I'm not telling you how to feel about it. But it won't change the saftey protocols. If it helps, you don't have to try this one, it's not mandatory.

Do I look like I own this thing?

"I can't believe you only take cash! Don't you know how much more money you could make if you accepted card?"

"This is too expensive, don't you see how much more you would earn if you lowered the price a bit?"

Actually I do. I'm paid by the hour, that means it would increase my earnings by exactly 0.

'I wasn't looking' is a terrible excuse

"How dare you yank my child's arm!"

Your dumbass child was running as fast as they could, severely overestimating the speed of the cart pulling onto the platform. It was either grab them, or stand back and watch them faceplant onto the tracks and get run over. I don't know about you, but my first priority is that no one dies here.

"I didn't see them do that!"

I sure hope not, it would be really fucked up to just wait for me to handle it if you did.

The math is too hard

I'm sorry, you and your sister can't go alone, she needs someone who's least 15 years old with her.

"I'm 15!"

Mhm, and what year were you born in?

"I uhm... in..."

Wow, I can't believe that worked in the year of our lord 2015

Music to match the mood

A couple were too busy making out to sit down, so I couldn't close the safety bar. After awkwardly waiting for a minute or two, I realised the only right move was changing the music to Careless Whisper. They got so mad. Luckily their three friends were very quick to defend me: "It's fucking hilarious, and you asked for it!"

all these things that stay on screen? Bad Website Design. it’s common, too common, so much of the screen is blocked! can we go back to cluttered screens AND POPUPS being considered extremely tacky if not a sign that the website is really sketchy? personal gripe, but this time it was on a ballet site

it’s borderline disfunctional, especially when the “sign up for this discount” box pops up every single time you go to a new page. not even on a different tab, on the same one. you have to scroll to even click on the product through all the clutter on the screen

I also do not know a single person who actually wants to use a chatbot, let alone have it onscreen (and saying you have a message)

tbh it’s so inconvenient I don’t even want to be on the site, despite the sale

uh anyway, mod hates modern website design, dancewear edition

[diverbots]

Hoping in some circumstance that if they ever do have Ramattra speak to Max, that it’ll just be Max talking about how much capitalism factors into play into just about Anything and Ramattra’s just: “Hm okay. Sounds like a skill issue to me! Anyways.”
