psychopathy is a deprecated term in psychiatry and narcissism could be used to refer to a personality disorder (although it isnt always) so you are still making a judgment on forms of neurodivergence albeit ones that are commonly considered "worse" on some level.the problem is capitalism itself, which is a mode of production and a resulting social system. if every capitalist was perfectly mentally healthy and neurotypical it wouldnt change the fact that capital depends on the exploitation of labor to extract surplus value, and thus all capitalists are guilty of exploitation.
@redrozalia @michaelgemar @RedKoba @amydiehl totally agree. But we will not build a better world by throwing neurodivergent people under the bus in our quest to overthrow capitalism.

@RedKoba and Bascule said "knowledge is power". Bulwer-Lytton said "the pen is mightier than the sword."
Violence begets violence.
@quixoticgeek
power is power, try to use a pen when someone assault you (hope it never happens) I'm pretty sure you are not John WickAt the end of the day the pen writes what the gun says

@RedKoba fortunately I live somewhere with descent gun control. So it's not something I have to worry about.

indeed, the only way to build a better world for neurodivergent people is to overthrow capitalism, and part of that means having a correct analysis of how capitalism works and not just blaming it on capitalists being "stupid and evil" (which i think "autistic" is code for in this case, eugh) -
@Epic_Null @quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
Don't get me wrong, the autistic part was of the stereotype about being unable to understand other humans. We all know Sheldon Cooper is not real but that's how is portrayed in the collective imagination
This collective imagination is the problem and you should not feed it. That's why mentioning autism in this context is problematic, too.

70.5% of Starbucks baristas are women. Starbucks now requires them to perform additional emotion labor by writing a personal message on customers' cups. If not sufficiently nice, they are disciplined. They must perform friendliness but make it look spontaneous. https://qz.com/emotional-labor-starbucks-baristas-green-apron-service-051926

Agree.Just one note:
We don't need to overthrow capitalism, we need to go one step further. Communists are not anti-capitalist, we are post-capitalist. We need all those good things capitalism built. The goal is to get rid of the old structures and leaders (we can discuss the role of violence in this process), and the result is a better world for neurodivergent and, in general, different types of people (gender, color, etc) -

@amydiehl I just want decent coffee, and my name spelled correctly or not at all. As I can't get either of those things at Starbucks, I'm out!

Who have the power is who decide andQuoting Mao:
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"The question is, which are tools they use to decide, is greed, personal interest or historical and material analysis
@RedKoba
If Mao and Stalin are your idols, it is unfortunate that you are admiring fascists. Both of them have been opportunistic sociopaths who used the chaos and vacuum within socialist revolutions to become a fascist leader (eventually). @quixoticgeek @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl -

So they have to be J/Kpop idol-like giving out fan service with the company products they sell.
What's next - pitting them against each other in fake challenges while the pumpkin spice venti is being assembled and having the customers vote for who they think won before paying?
Or were they going more for the art student/between roles actor creative? Cos that just stinks of "have a nice day?" in a kooky font.@Theriac @amydiehl Think bigger, customers should have to earn voting points by buying more Starbucks drinks with bonus points for a different drink each week, buying Starbucks merch, playing Starbucks gacha games in their Starbucks mobile app, installing Starbucks emoji packs, engaging with Starbucks social media, etc.

we have to be able to monetise every customer interaction with staff as well though - maybe we could add ai chatbots to the app with avatars based on actual staff who are contractually obliged to respond politely to any parasocial fantasies the customers have had formed through ai psychosis while the heartfelt message is being written on their venti cup. -
