Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a thin line over it that barely covers it. I was about to shit a brick.

fuck

The only explanation I’ve heard is that big domains like .world use AI to scan images for filtering. That and reposting content from other website with strict profanity filters.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It's .ml that can't stand a little bad language. I doubt they are scanning images though.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

Those alleged filters are so fucking strict that a four year old who barely recognizes motherfucking letter would read that shit like a spelling bee champion.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 20 points 1 week ago

The hell are on about? This is not Instagram.

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

This screen cap is two years old. Who knows how many site filters it has had to filter through.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

I doubt it is .world and not every mainstream social media

That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol

[-] owl@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

This is exactly what I think every time I hear about boring jobs. Why not use the time for something else? But I suppose in many boring jobs you are still monitored and have to pay attention.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Many boring jobs are overly strict and forbid employees for any form of multi tasking and often not because it would make them worse workers but because the employer has all the power and would rather not take any risks even though the risks are so minimal.

[-] owl@infosec.pub 2 points 3 days ago

I mean if you pay someone to watch something, you think it is a super easy job, but you want him to do their best.
Still I don't think it's reasonable for someone to be at maximum alertness watching like a store somewhere at night.
But I believe there are many jobs where people don't care. You have to be there and not break some rules, but that's it.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

This is absolutely a scale thing. Small teams and employers can learn about each other and evaluate risks more accurately than big corporations.

If I hire a security guard for my own company and perimeter I'm familiar with I know exactly how much work is needed to secure it and I know exactly what I should expect from my guard. On the other hand, if a big specialized company does this as a service they don't know this and thus impose stricter requirements and expectations.

I think this makes sense but also why can't we just do more of the former and less of the latter as it's clearly less efficient from societal pov even if appears to be more efficient from purely economical one.

[-] owl@infosec.pub 2 points 2 days ago

I too believe, you can "hide" inside a big companies structures.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 65 points 1 week ago

It's somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

I agree. I'm lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver's job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it's a win-win for everyone.

Home Depot is an hardware shop in the USofA, right?

If so, why is an hardware store open overnight? What DIY emergency can come about that it can't wait for working hours?

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 88 points 1 week ago

These stores are not open at night. They sometimes have overnight staff that process loading bay trucks and/or restock shelves on the retail floor.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

Basically every chain grocery store does this at least once a week as well. I remember them trying to get me to do it when I worked for one while in college. Acted like it was such a great opportunity to get an extra buck an hour, which I quickly refused.

Go to any 24/7 store around 3-4am and you'll probably see people restocking shelves.

I worked retail at a major store ~45k sqft and we had people come in at 2-3am and work until 10-11am “stocking shelves”. Thing is, part of our closing duties when it wasn’t busy was to restock the shelves. So most of the time the people stocking just ducked around for 8 hours. They were always super chill but had terrible weed.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

They were always super chill but had terrible weed.

Gotta save the good stuff for after work 😎

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.

I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

[-] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Did you quit or did someone noticed after 9 Months?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 12 points 1 week ago

I quit when I got another job. My boss was gunning for me for other reasons when I left though.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 1 week ago

Manager: "We're getting closer to finding out who pooped in the walk-in. It's just a matter of time."

Lightnsfw: "...So I'm quitting for unrelated reasons..."

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 26 points 1 week ago

Getting paid to be there through the night for the times when a person is actually needed, as well as being on site to keep an eye on things. Sounds like honest work to me

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Especially since it's nights - when most people don't want to work, and when it fucks up your health doing it regularly.

Why not cut out the walking around in a store for 8h and still getting paid 17$/h. Universal Basic income now!

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 35 points 1 week ago

I hear what you're saying but the walking was probably the best part of that job. Barring disability, walking is so good for our bodies.

Home Depot getting inventive with their recruiting strategies

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.

Ok, but what are the benefits? Is there a union? $17 is barely more than minimum wage.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

$7.25 is the federal minimum, which is the still minimum for many states.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Eh I'm sure they'll raise it to $7.50 in a few years

The federal minimum is less than half of that

So this is why when I come in for the morning shift nothing has been done.

[-] three@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago
[-] azantis@ani.social 8 points 1 week ago

Lmao my man came here with his green text telling everyone how happy he is for getting money for doing essentially nothing and people here are just straight up calling him a dumb poor bitch.

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

People see a 4chan post and just immediately go full hater mode.

This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we'd typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.
