It's not an MLM or pyramid scheme; it is regular sales employment. You're not getting other people to sell them for you nor are you encouraged to find others looking to join the sales team. It just sucks dick because the pay is shit (and they go through hoops to pay you less or nothing; which is where the scam part comes in), they treat you like shit, and you have to basically sell them door-to-door.

It's stupid because the knives are great products; I still have my sample set because they actually rock. They just only sell them like Tupperware clubs and only market them via word of mouth. They'd be making bank if they just sold them to retailers instead of fucking with young people looking for their first job.

I sold cutco knives for a month.

If you're looking for a job, stay the fuck away from anything dealing with "CutCo" or "Vector Marketing."

Edit: Its not really a pyramid scheme... They just do everything they can to weasel out of giving you your paycheck on payday and because it's sales commission, I don't think they have to follow minimum wage laws since you're not paid hourly.

Unless they've seriously changed how it fundamentally works (this was when I was 18). They never encouraged or paid extra for getting others to sell for you, like a typical MLM thing.

Even outside of their space, when they "argue" it had generally been posting giant, random images that had little to no context followed by walls of emojis. Which is why my blocklist is mostly Hexbear users.

Did the question of androids dreaming of electric sheep actually get answered in the novel? πŸ€”

I would go back in time to 1995 and give John Carmack modern tools and maybe UE5 and see what happens.

I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it πŸ€”

A forum for the explicit purpose of telling jokes. You know... Like a comedy club? πŸ€”

Which ones? The ones I get only have instructions for the whole bag or half the bag. I gotta figure out how not to burn them when I just want 10.

No, but I give pause to allow them to answer before I deliver said punchline. Comedy is 10% what you say, and 90% delivery and timing.

Dwarf Fortress.

Not just best indie game, but best game period.

That's not untrue though... Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.

I was talking about bg3 and how a certain part could be changed to be much darker, and it occurred to me that it possibly could affect the rating of the game if they did (being vague purposely to avoid spoilers). But then I wondered "do things like that even have to be reviewed by the rating boards?" Because Larian has made a lot of changes like that to the game and I imagine it would be pretty ludicrous to have each and every one be reviewed to see if it fits within the current ESRB and PEGI ratings of the game.

Can't log in? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by PillowTalk420@lemmy.world to c/liftoff@lemmy.world

IDK why but the app isn't logging me in today. I also seem to be having issues logging into some instances through the website, but I'm not getting any errors or anything. It just goes like it's working but then when the page reloads, I'm not logged in. Took me like 15 tries just to get to the create post button.

The weird thing is I can still access my profile, I just can't view my subscriptions or make posts because I'm not logged in. Usually if I'm not logged in, I can't see my profile either. 🀨

Don't know if the issue is the app or the service itself.

I just noticed that even though I was looking at and logged in through my Lemmy.World account, I would sometimes be posting/commenting as another account on another instance. All these posts will say "via " next to the original location of the post.

It doesn't make much sense to me that it will use an account for a separate instance when I already have one signed in for the origin post, but idk if this is maybe a stability thing to just keep things running smoothly? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
