  • All this produce is going to spoil at the food bank where I volunteer

  • This is because if something goes bad from the food you give away the business will get sued for not having cold chain verification or a quality department to make sure the food was not altered in any way. Warehouses (aka 'distribution centers') typically have that kind of process, but retailers do not as Quality department employee salaries are typically several times what retail employees make, and often substantially higher than department managers, shift managers, and other low level retail management roles.

  • this has nothing to do with churches.

    This is companies maximizing their tax deduction by donating at retail value instead of writing off the loss of actual cost.

  • The branding is one aspect, they definitely publicize the food bank donations and it's often one of the few things food manufacturers do that sounds good. The rest is just profit and employing mass contract labor at near minimum wage.

    If they threw out thousands of pounds of product it would look like a bad number if publicized... if they donate ten thousand pounds of tomatoes a couple days before they go bad they get to look like they donated ten thousand pounds of tomatoes in value, and then they get to write that off as a donation.

    I'm pretty sure when they do said "donations" they get to write off the retail value, whereas if they just wrote it off as a loss to the business it would only be the actual cost.

  • They do this because they can write off the "donation" (e.g. garbage disposal)

    All of this produce was going to go bad, they know what date it's going bad, but they overproduce or customers cancelled orders or under ordered.

    UNFI, the massive breached company, is going to have this same thing play out across the board from product wasting away in their warehouse.

  • they were literally fleeing religious persecution. Why would they bake religion into what they were creating?

    Because everyone thinks their opinions are the right ones.

    Someone persecuting you doesn't mean you'll go somewhere else and not persecute others who are not on your side.

    I go with the path of least resistance for top quality. I don't think a subscription can give you this.

  • Immersion therapy man. Go find a board game meetup, exercise meetup or sports meetup or something that puts you in a situation where you're gonna be able to have casual conversations.

    Loads of people just like you with social anxiety and who are introverted though in the US, and honestly any nation in the Americas... and probably the world.

    I don't know what the US obsession is with giving anyone the option to crawl under or climb over a stall door.

    I don't know what the US obsession is with making us hear and smell our bathroom stall neighbors either.

  • Realistically they will hire someone in the dominican republic or some other nation with fairly neutral english accents on a call center farm who end up getting paid way under US minimum wage.

    Tons of companies do this. Choice hotels, boost mobile... many many more.

    Alternatively those gig workers will get paid even less than DR wages and be from far worse countries. Those DR call center farms literally do not allow you to bring any personal belongings onto the floor, or take anything from the floor. Way too easy to steal financial information if you can write it down somewhere. Now imagine gig workers who work remotely and how they could handle financial data... doesn't seem feasible but maybe they have the liability angle figured out.

  • It's not that it's gone, it's that the platform continues to enshittify.

    It's really hard to remove all their bloatware garbage, and features seem to get worse all the time. Subtitles had a big change and they really don't do a good job of supporting them anymore, as an example. Had one show that no matter what I did the subtitles just wouldn't work after updating to a modern version that had the modern 'updated' subtitle handling. I've continued to update but it's still questionable.

    When I got it they never had 'ad supported plex tv', now they do and they promote it everywhere. All I want to do is keep supporting what they have, newer modern codecs, squash bugs, and act as a crappy dynamic dns so I can not setup a domain that goes to my home network connection which is a dynamic ip.

    What I don't want is to have to go into settings to disable or hide all their garbage ad revenue supported services everywhere in my private media library I paid a lifetime license fee for. It didn't have that advertisement when I bought it, they shouldn't be adding it afterwards, and I shouldn't have to keep updating my config just to stay on a version that supports evolving hardware.

    I tried Jellyfin but it's even worse for subtitles which are unfortunately mandatory in my household.

  • Yep, two years before Borderlands delivered a much superior experience.

    At the time I had spent six years playing EverQuest, Ultima Online, Anarchy Online and World of Warcraft in various capacities, and this was looking like an MMO borderlands like thing. Few MMOs had gone under so soon after release.

    Apparently the same devs are making a sequel, and I think i'll make sure to pirate it unless they give it away to lifetime Hellgate London subscribers.

    Nowadays I know better than to trust any kind of weird offer like this announced before launch. They'd only do it if they knew they were going to win... or were so worried they were going to go under.

  • This seems to be a lie, there are no customer service positions available on Klarna's career page.

    They also have zero US based roles available. Canada and europe only.
