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

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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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 also liked how the bad guy tries the same shit with that judge lol

The smile that came when they showed a Harper’s pin right before mentioning the Harpers never left my face. Such a subtle little thing, but they fucking nailed it.

I shift it around depending on what’s currently “in season.” Right now I have Netflix because of the 3rd season of I Think You Should Leave. But I’ve watched it all a billion times already so I’m not going to renew until something else comes out.

When I was 19, I worked on the Pride of America cruise ship. I got on board the last week or two it was in dry dock finishing construction. One of those weeks, they tested the PA system extensively. They did this by playing Queen’s “Radio Ga-Ga” on loop, 24/7. For a week. And there were PA speakers in my cabin.

You ever see a comedy where they do “psychological torture” by playing an unpopular song? This was that, but for real. Every time I hear that fucking song now, I have PTSD flashbacks. The saddest thing was, when I first heard it played there, it was the first time I ever heard it period and I kind of liked it.

But that ship has sailed.

Yesterday when I tried, it told me that the instance wasn’t up to date and didn’t work, so I tried a different app. Liftoff is proving to be my favorite so far.
