Yeah I can't imagine being the literal lowest paying company in town will do them any favors

Look guy I want to tear the thing down as much as you, but until that gets started this is what I got. In order to be successful in either will require some better commraderie than the tone you seem to have here

While what your saying is fundamentally true, it is worth noting that companies do notice declines in sales even very slight ones, and while there isn't ethical consumption there is certainly still a wide range of how unethical companies are. Just cause none are great doesn't mean they are all equally bad.

It is also worth noting that mass voting with dollars is one of the most effective peaceful tools currently available in a capitalist system to drive change (for non essential/non monopolized goods). Things like fair trade chocolate and sustainable packaging types exist because consumer demand for them is real, and if enough consumers demand and change spending habits for fair wage practices and bare minimum corporate ethics standards it will start to happen too.

Obviously this is all easier with more coordination among the consumers but even without it, we see companies change their practices due to consumer backlash that hits sales now. This is more effective than you may be giving it credit for, even if not as much as we would like

Actually it's usually closer to 5%, but to avoid consumers getting mad most companies have internal variance limits of less. Still, 2% is pretty tight for manufacturing equipment. Despite the mass prevalence of corporate greed, it does end up being better for most companies overall to be on the slightly heavy end of net weight rather than lower end and most manufacturing guardrails and in line weight checks are calibrated with that in mind.

This is entirely due to the risk of images like this going viral and causing blowback for the company. So, to keep products on average a little heavier, posting things like this is great

I don't know this blimp has me thinking some less than wholesome things....

What but what's in the book though??? I need that information

I work with IFF all the time and know many of their corporate employees and still had no idea this was happening. Good that the workers have been able to hold out this long, I worry the "ignore them until they are too poor to strike" tactic will get increasingly common

Of course, it would be terrible if you could no longer afford the lifestyle you are accustomed by profiting off of others labor

We are planning our first trip to Japan in this upcoming february after a long postponing due to covid. Would love some tips from others here! We have dates but no specific ideas while there yet. More specific questions:

Recommended budget per day based on general costs of food and lodging there?

Recommendations for places to go while generally trying to avoid touristy locales?

Train for getting around while there or is there a better option?

How important to study basic Japanese?

Thanks!

Genuine question: what do you recommend instead? Not really excited to support Google via pixel either and didn't love my last iPhone. Is there a good choice anywhere?

I wish I could say this was in any way surprising to me

title menu size (lemmy.world)

I am struggling with mods that replace the title menu. I am using main menu randomizer, skyui, and have tried several different main menu image mods, but all of them do not fill the screen.

Is there somewhere where there is a setting for how large the title image should be or how blown up or anything like that? Given how many mods this has happened with I am thinking it is not an attribute of the images themselves but rather how they are displayed, or maybe an issue with randomizer

Any help would be appreciated!
