There’s a reason for this, they want you to download the app because you’re paying for that coupon via primary access to your personal data. Dominos isn’t just a pizza company, for a long time now they have been a data broker too.

Which I guess isn’t surprising, everyone and their mother wants to be a data broker today. It’s a good reason not to install any apps from anyone though.

Have you seen the responses here? Paints a picture on why they felt the need to defend themselves.

I just take it as an opportunity to block people these days. “You gave your kid pizza so you’re a shit lazy parent and no mitigating factor will be considered” is a pretty clear indicator that they don’t need any openings into my attention span lol.

It’s crazy that you went way out of your way to placate the internet assholes and they still found something to be insufferable about.

I really dislike when games tie rewards to watching game streamers.

I don’t have a twitch account, nor do I want one. I don’t want to watch strangers play video games, I want to play the game myself. But because I really, really don’t want any part of “gamer culture” I get gated out of benefits.

It just seems wrong.

Such as? If you have a reasonably priced OLED dumb tv with HDR and 120FPS up your sleeve you will be my favorite internet friend.

Game consoles.

I wish there were more high quality dumb TVs. Most of the dumb TVs I can find today are both very expensive and lack the features I’m looking for like HDR and 120hz+ frame rates.

I know the argument is that the privacy invasions are subsidizing the cost of the TV but I have yet to see non-anecdotal evidence of that and suspect that the price of the TV would be the same either way because the market will only support so much expense.

Big Foot actually being a catchall term for major shoe manufacturers is one of my new favorite things.

Maybe they started the ape-man Bigfoot rumors to distract people from the true evil of Big Foot.

A much luckier researcher, meanwhile, measured the lengths of their flaccid nose.

Comedy gold.

Was there a claim of lack of output that I didn’t see? I admittedly skimmed this.

I was under the impression that the only issue was that they weren’t in their seats when they were supposed to be, which is so fucking stupid I struggle to find words to describe it.

I am a manager, people report to me. I judge if they’re working effectively based on their output, and as long as the output is what the job requires I could not care less when they’re at their desks. They’re being paid to get work done, not sit in their seats.

Some jobs do require that you sit in your seat for x hours a day, but we shouldn’t pretend all jobs do.
