The greasy thumbprint by the tack sells this. Maybe it's a shadow, but it doesn't look right

It might not be so bad, in the long run it encourages you get a more permanent break from that workplace.

I too appreciate when entities take the mask off

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

Well look at you mr VP of sales

Boss makes a thousand
I barely one
I keep my head low
I get my work done
But nothing improves
If we all play along
So I'm joining a union
Together, we're strong

It's amazing how effects that were so convincing can become so obvious and dated.

The greasy thumbprint

I think those 3 pixels are the tacks shadow. It's clear, so the needle would still cast a shadow

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah but the greasy thumbprint is funnier

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Even "clear" things cast shadows. If you can see it, it's because some of the light is bouncing off and reaching your eyes, so at least that much light won't make it to the page

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Right. I guess I meant the needle would cast a shadow as well as the plastic

[–] Track_Shovel 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think it's too big to be a shadow, but I'm not a detective

[–] ToastedPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

It might be multiple overlapping shadows. blobfox, blobfoxdetective

Ah a shit carrot to distract from the shit stick. How about money? It's literally why we showed up.

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

you have nothing to lose but your chains.

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

jokes on you, people do that daily in the bathroom anyway

Shut up wesley

[–] Didros@beehaw.org 6 points 2 months ago

That is a shadow from the clear thumbtack head. We had those at work.

But what does a greasy thumb print add to this?

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Pro tip: scanners and printers exist. Us them to your advantage :)

How about fuck you I'm on my break and I'll have my break when I want and stop when I want?

That's what happens when you work at a company where they understand that you're more productive if they're not chaining you to your desk.
