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.

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 🤔

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

I think BG3 already has the highest rating available, so I don’t think it’d be affected.

It can go one higher (AO). They wouldn’t want it to tho.

Risa is a pleasure planet in the show. Basically a planet that bases its entire economy on tourism and pleasing others. In all ways. Yes. Even that one.

Riskiest click of my life.

I get excited that I have a girlfriend. Although I don’t know what she wants with my game saves. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m low tech and simple. I just keep the receipts in the glovebox.

Mid apes.

Damn! You’re right.

Please don’t be me. I can barely keep track of myself as it is.

If I become a celebrity, you can dunk on me.

I’ll just start making accounts for every instance on the system so nobody can ever pretend to be me. Easy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Gold is a better conductor than copper and gold also does not corrode. So they actually are better cables, since the thing the cable does is made significantly easier and less prone to failure when the wires and connectors are gold and not copper or some other metal that doesn’t conduct electricity as well.

I feel like this whole thing is simply just a clarification on what was already the case. Like, a baker can’t just refuse a gay person for being gay. But they could refuse to make that gay person a huge dick shaped cake because, presumably, they would also refuse to make a huge dick shaped cake for a straight woman as well. The reason the customer wants the dick cake is irrelevant; merely that the cake is a dick.

The final update message given out on RIF suggested Lemmy.World and so, here I am.

Does it matter?

As I have found with a few niches I’ve been looking for and only found communities on other instances, it may matter. I can see this post even though I am on Lemmy.World and not Lemmy.ml; but some of the other places I’ve wanted to look at are not federated with Lemmy.World or are semi-private and require manual authorization by an admin before you can do anything; and they can’t authorize a user that doesn’t interact with them somehow so I had to make a new account for those instances.

I just hop over to another instance federated with lemmy.world so the content never stops. The fact that one instance can go down but the idea and collected communities remain up on others that are all connected together is tits, man.
