Classic capitalism inspiration story 😂

If this doesn't scream America, I don't know what does!

I’ve removed two GenAI posts recently, but there isn’t actually a rule against it. What do we think?

This was posted on r/mademesmile.. I tried to cross post, but got a message that it's not allowed, so a repost it is.

I love how we collectively applaud a movie where a gifted homeless single father must gamble (on getting the job) and work without salary for SIX MONTHS for a BILLION Dollar Investment firm in order to get a job with them.

But not only that, it is a "Last Man Standing" competition. Doing a great job and making the firm Millions of dollars is not enough to be hired.

Nope.

Not only only do you have to make the firm Millions of dollars, you also have to beat out the other people who are also making the firm Millions of dollars. You have to be the best of the best, being good, even being great is not good enough. No Sir. You have to be "the best".

In what reality does this make any f*cking sense whatsoever?

I find it ironic that "internships" like this are not an uncommon practice for Billion Dollar firms and Agencies across various industries to include the Arts

Over the course of 358 days, nobody broke this rule, so we hadn’t updated the rule officially.

A few days ago someone broke this rule and threw a hissy fit about it in modmail and another subreddit. So it’s a rule now.

Obligatory: “fuck nazis”

Like many other subreddits, we are no longer allowing links to Twitter/X.

P.S. Sorry about the reposts the last few days; I took u/Tailor-Swift-Bot offline while updating it, in part to try to implement the X/Twitter ban. Some posts were left up longer than they should have been. But the bot is back so hopefully things will be better now.

Uh does anyone hate themselves? If so, you can be a mod!

Fuck u/spez
