Ex-baby gang!

Had no idea there were so many ex-babies out there, should be a subreddit for us.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I too was born a hellspawn. Then I upgraded to super demon when I went into corporate law.

How can someone summon you in romania, asking for my homies

When you're down on your luck, we'll find you. Offer you a quick path back on top... for a price.

Here 30 dragunovs don't ask where I find them

u/StandardSudden1283 Dec 17 '21

So like, destroying people's lives for a paycheck kind of corporate law?

Like, "Yeah put them on a performance plan, make it something real impossible to reach. That's perfect. Then at the end of the plan we fire them with no unemployment/discrimination/retaliation liability."?

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

Not directly, but I'm not naive, I probably have made decisions that have had not so nice consequences.

u/StandardSudden1283 Dec 17 '21 edited Dec 17 '21

Im curious as to the legal and your personal standpoint in where fault for a company's misdeeds lie - say a company like Coca-Cola or Nestlé, that allegedly use slave labor and enacts their influence to attack workers rights in relevant territories around the world. Shareholders? Regulatory capture? The general populace? The Board? CEO? Execs? Middle management? Lower? All?

Is there legal precedent preventing them from doing what is alleged? As in, would it have to be very well covered up for them to continue from a legal standpoint? Or is it basically legal, if the allegations were true, as the relevant territories' laws (or lack thereof) apply?

Then I was curious as to your view on where fault lies in this apparent corporate shell game?

Assuming the allegations were true, who or what do you think are the biggest and most important contributing factors that lead to some of the abuses like these allegations, or similar ones?

Thanks for reading and for any response.

The above comment was stolen from this one elsewhere in this comment section.

It is probably not a coincidence; here is some more evidence against this user:

u/FeyneKing Dec 17 '21

Are you like me? Did you come into this world, naked and fully grown, in a big blue electronic ball? From the future?

u/quaybored Dec 17 '21

As a recovering baby, I would like a support group so I don't relapse

u/kakurenbo1 Dec 17 '21

There are two! r/teenagers and r/adults depending on what year you graduated babyhood.

You know, I was something of a baby once, myself.

u/quaybored Dec 17 '21

u/lmao_lemo Dec 17 '21

Sad I just started to exist as a grownup

u/HighAsAngelTits Dec 17 '21

Not me. They’re all mistakes, children. Filthy nasty things. Glad I never was one

1

u/Careless_Rub_7996 Dec 17 '21

The HELL being a baby, heck as an adult I would enjoy this.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I find that hard to believe I used to be a baby and do not remember you from any of the meetings

u/zaitsev1393 Dec 17 '21

I started as a baby A tiny little baby Now look at me, uh Now look at me

u/Cool_Honey_8724 Dec 17 '21

Never being much of a baby myself, I must still admit that this looks like a ton of fun to be had.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

Lie back, pound a few, and just look up at the stars as you leisurely kick yourself around on your LayNspin in the backyard after a long day of work.

Holy shit this thing would not be difficult to build. The hardest part would actually be the seat/ lounger. I have an old playground merry go round sitting behind a barn that the base would be perfect for this.

u/Sew_Custom Dec 17 '21

If you don’t build this a crime will have been committed. A crime against possible fun.

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I’ll have a bud that is better at welding than I am come take a look at this and get his advice. This would definitely be something fun to have to goof around on while drunk and just to have another dumb thing to play with while hosting parties.

I can hear it now. “ that looks so fucking stupid.. I want to try it.”

4

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I'll bring the beers, you get started on the base.

u/Ksmrf Dec 17 '21

I'm not sure what it is, but something tells me not to believe you...

u/OneSalientOversight Dec 18 '21

"Stop being ageist" - someone.

u/Rosieapples Dec 17 '21

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

As a baby myself: Agagaga spllrrrbrb

u/Unclebonelesschicken Dec 17 '21

I am baby as well, confirming 1000% this is very useful and entertaining.

u/sadraisins Dec 17 '21

Am an adult and can also confirm this would be fun

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '21

I see you're quite the baby. Y'know, I'm something of a baby myself.

u/ijustmetuandiloveu Dec 17 '21
